    Re: Match Committee - Round 6 vs Adelaide

    Gia to miss the cut? (I know he is named in the starting line up but Macca could be playing mind games with his opposition number.)

    It might just be me... But i'd rather lose with Hunter, Hrovat (etc) rather than win with Gia. Finishing with 5, 6 or 7 wins doesn't mean much to me as opposed to pumping 22 games into kids who will be trying to get this bloody elusive flag.

    Hope Honeychurch plays. Looking forward to yelling out his nickname....."Sweet Jesus"
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Based on Macca's presser, and the match preview on the website, I'd say that big Tom and Dickson will both play. I'd be surprised if we make more than 2 changes.

    Wow. Roughhead and Morris are out. We're screaming out for quality tall defenders and Williams gets dropped. That sounds like a career ending moment to me.

    Just FWIW neither Stringer nor Bontempelli are named for Footscray so you would imagine they are both playing AFL.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    With Gia in the team he is teaching on the sidelines. One replacement to play a one kid ... no I like to have a win
    Winning needs to be a culture

    I wouldn't be unhappy with that but I think Hunter will play instead of Honeychurch.

    I'd be happy with that, although who plays on Dangerfield? For a side concerned with upping the defensive efforts, going into the game against a free flowing side with no taggers would be risky. I bet we play Jong.

    Yeah if we can shut down Dangerfield then we have done very well. If he gets going then he'll really hurt us. What do you think of how we have lined up in defence? Im hoping we don't concede 7 goals in the first quarter like last week.

    My thought is Stevens in the midfield, Wood in the forward line.
    We haven't given Stevens a tagging job before but he's has the body strength to go with him. Might be worth a shot.

    We need to strike a balance so the kids aren't witnessing floggings.

    Respectfully, does 20 minutes of Gia the difference between winning and floggings?

    Or even 4 quarters, or a few weeks back 10 minutes? It's nothing really against him as I've never accepted the Gia bashing over the years, it's about where we are and where we are going to. We are going to lose more than we win this year and I don't see him winning games off his own boot enough to prohibit the 'little h brigade' (Hunter, Hrovat, Honeychurch) being played and putting their development in a sharp upwards curve.

    So Young goes to Pods, Talia to Jenkins, Wood to Lynch? Or does Roberts come in to play on Lynch?
