Match Committee - Round 19 2016 vs Geelong

[GVGjr]

Hrovat playing well, any chance to come in or he needs a few more weeks?

Needs another week I would have thought. Stranger things might happen be we have been very conservative with injured players this year in particular.

[Rocco Jones]

In- Stringer, Dahl, Hamling, Z Cordy
Out- Wally, Redpath, Morris, Jong

- Roughy/T Boyd ruck combo
- Hamling forward
- Z Cordy to replace Morris down back

Yep, I'd do the same.

Yep, I'd do the same.

Yeah me too. Why Jong was starting mid for much of the game was beyond me unless Bevo was putting him under the blowtorch to see if he can really cut the mustard. He goes in hard and has good pace and that's it. I'd like to see what Cordy has to offer.

Last time we played Geelong we didn't have the following players:

Clay Smith

Easton Wood

Jason Johannisen

Koby Stevens

Thomas Boyd We will be without Wally and Red and possibly Morris

That makes a total of at minimum 7 players, possibly 8, plus any other changes that the MC may make. It will be a different game.

As Maxwell Smart would say Bad: "Very In-ter-res-ting."

[LostDoggy]

Tom Hawkins improved showing last week looks ominous, as he is the sort of one on one beast that Roberts struggles with. Rhys Stanley, Blicavs and Smith (if he plays) are all ruck sized players who push forward and mark also. I'd like to see Keiran Collins given another chance, taking on a Hawkins is his go.

Any one making the trip down Geelong Rd on Friday night?

Sounds pretty good to me.. Would like to see Hamling fill the role that Ted Richards played to great effect against Geelong, compete in the air and make the Geelong tall defenders accountable which is something we fail at consistently... It will shit me to tears if they are allowed to out-number/ out-size our forwards and do as they please.

Zayne meet Dan Menzel... Good luck.

I think there a few as the last out, I thought Jong was pretty reasonable agaisnt geelong 6 weeks back and on that basis he stays in, but it isn't the be all and end all if he doesn't play... Really need more out of him, Stevens, Smith, Dunkley, Dickson & Picken as our forward/ mids.

Yeah I think Hamling would provide a good mix of competing in the air and creating decent pressure when the ball hits the ground.

Jong out is a bit harsh but our set up just isn't right. He/pick your choice of inside mid depth player isn't good enough for the sacrifice we are making in not playing another tall.

I reckon Harry Taylor, Lonergan and Enright will sleep in the change rooms the night before, just to make sure they aren't late to the game on Friday night. Pretty sick and tired of these 3 in particular constantly feasting on our inept forward delivery and statue-like forward movement as they have done for virtually 8 years now.

Yes, well their backline looks A grade at the moment. Our forward line lucky to score a C. They will be pretty confident going in.

We need to move the ball quickly from the backline and keep the forward line open so we don't have 30 players in the forward 50.

Must hit targets, and ensure Danger and Selwood don't get the ball.

How do we go about this one?

Danger averaging 31.5 disposals per game this year, Selwood 28.2.. What do we differently to the rest of the comp?
