Match Committee: Round 10 vs St Kilda

[comrade]

Redpath was very good v West Coast with 10 marks and 3 goals. And even without getting much footy on Friday night, still kicked a couple - and will take his opportunities where Cloke won't.

He missed a straight forward shot that would have kept us in the game on Friday night.

Let's not be silly about this. Despite missing that shot, you would concede that Redpath is typically a reliable kick for goal....certainly more so than Cloke.

Reckon selection might come down to the opposition defenders. Both Brown and Carlisle are most comfortable wrestling their opponents. Carlisle in particular is very vulnerable against a leading forward and was exposed by Reid on the weekend. Redpath might be the better option due to the fact he is normally pretty good on the lead.

Redpath can only do one thing. Lead and mark inside 50. His one job is to convert the very limited amount of opportunities he is able to generate for himself and he failed to do it.

Cloke can at least offer some ruck relief, can get further up field, provides more defensive pressure etc

Do we have any evidence that Redpath still has the ability to get separation from his opponent? Just looks a bit heavier and slower since his last injury.

In his two games since coming back I think we've seen some samples of it but I'm not claiming he's back to his best yet. The question is whether he will ever get back to his best....but you would agree it's a bit early to make that call.

One thing we can say for certain about Cloke is that his ball use and decision making has not improved and is unlikely to. For those saying he can pinch hit in the ruck......so can Redpath....or he used to at least.

Over the journey he has been a very good kick at goal - and Cloke would charitably be described as unreliable.
