Amen to that. I thought Lippa had a very good game.

A few posters said Young looked lost last week? Maybe there is something in that?
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
It’s hard to be critical of a coach that has us 5-0 and playing a very good brand of forty, but that isn’t going to stop me!
Really thought we would give Young a good crack at it so really disappointed that he’s out after just one average (not poor) performance.

Agree.

It is perplexing.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on something really small in the sense of the acts themselves, but something viewed as vital and non-negotiable for the team defence.
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Cordy was pretty very bad in the VFL last week. We could have used Young’s height too. Don’t get or like it.

After 1 game? Why not give him an opportunity to improve on it rather than banishing once again.
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
The inclusions of Martin, Jong and Cordy has to be based on physicality surely. They want harder, stronger, tackling bodies. It’s great to see Jong in, as I think he brings something. Young obviously unlucky, but the MC might see something that Cordy might suit a match up more than Young. We shall know tomorrow.
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Surely we had to back Young in for a bit, disappointing.

He was very ordinary last week I thought, and he's been poor tonight's far for Foots Ray.
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Not sure if it validates or makes decision worse but Young struggling in the VFL.

I am with you - we lose this game and its another lost at the selection table.
Cannot fathom the need to make 5 changes. Cannot see how Lippa/Young deserved to be dropped.
The team reeks of hard nuts - Zaine, Jong, coming in, but equally footskills are debateable. Jong/Zaine/Wood alone have less than effectiv e kicks. As for Rourke Smith - he shouldn't be anywhere near getting a game
Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Backers of Young will say it's hurt his confidence and those who support the decision will feel further validated. I definitely wouldn't want this version of Young in tomorrow night.
