Match Committee - Round 6, 2017 vs GWS Giants

Happy with this. I'm keen to see how Williams goes he's been in white hot form, is quick, a great size and kicks the ball well. With so many half backs in the team it also releases JJ and Bob forward which will help off-set the loss of Dickson and Crameri.

I have a feeling Daniel / Dale will play for Dunkley.

Looking like Matty Boyd out, guessing Caleb in and Williams for Biggs

Matty Boyd also having a spell for Dogs, managed ... Murphy and Dunkley stationary drills but fine

Good to keep getting games into Daniel, McLean, Williams, Dunkley. They're four players who will only get better and we know we have something with all four of them.

[Mofra]

Williams can also play on a wing, Murphy seems to be playing better football this year as a forward.

The big worry is Matty Boyd - we haven't won a game with Bevo as coach with Matty Boyd out.

I wonder why Dale was taken ahead of Webb

What would be your suggestion?

[Twodogs]

if that was the case they would be taking 24 or 25!

Because they only have 23 it means 2 of Dale, Daniel and Williams are playing!

You're right. It doesn't add up properly otherwise.

I think!

[lemmon]

Must be looking for some outside polish or run and carry. I'd suggest we're playing enough flankers and would've preferred a genuine mid though.

Without knowing how guys are rated internally, it's hard not to feel for Lukas. Seems to be overlooked pretty regularly while being one of Footscray's most consistent performers.

Bevo said in his presser that Webb is inside mid and we have a glut of them, however with if he continues his good form in the VFL he will get a chance to be promoted.

I find this interesting as I reckon we've missed some inside grunt with Libba being a bit down compared to last year. Clearly MC grading our inside midfielders on other things I do not pick up e.g. defensive pressure on oppo mids.

A big cigar for BAD....that's exactly what's happened. And perhaps if Dunkley is sore then Dale will play.

That or we are just bereft of finishers atm.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Happy to see Williams included - think he could be a real gem.

[Rocco Jones]

I get Libba has been a bit down but I don't think it's as bad as some as making out.

1st in the league for tackles and 12th for contested possessions. Rate both stats a lot more than finding it 30 times a week.

A bit has to do with pace as well.

Outside players have to be either extremely (like elite level) clever, or unbelievably fast as space closes up so quickly. We don't have anyone on our list that is both of these things.

Yes we do Lynch and he can't be far off getting his opportunity.
