Match Committee - Round 6 2016 vs North Melbourne

[The Underdog]

Sorry for jumping in BAD.

I'd really like to know what his role is because I thought his pressure was down on Saturday night.

If he's there to pat bums then I'd prefer to have HC getting 30 in the team. Playing 200 games should in no way exempt you from being dropped. Interested to see how he goes on Friday.

30 what? HC has averaged 11 possies and less than a goal in 14 games. Not saying that he wouldn't improve on that but he's likely to be providing a similar or lesser output than Adcock and who knows what other internal measurements the club uses to measure a players value? I trust the MC at this point to pick the right team, they seem to have done ok so far.

Week 1 and 2 of his VFL performances this year. I couldn't care less what his career stats are he's in massive, massive form at VFL level at the moment picking up two BOGs and hitting the scoreboard. I watched both and he's at another level entirely.

I'm all for rewarding those who perform at VFL level.

Agree, at his age he needs to be getting better and better, so past stats mean little. It's this year that counts.

Collins in the mix for this week.

Adcock stays in the team as long as Bevo thinks he deserves to be in the team. If he deserves his spot it means he is doing his role. Simple.

Fletch was the best big on the ground for us at VFL level against Sandy. Would be surprised if he is not considered, like him for a Brown or Petrie match up.

Caleb out for another week, so only one change necessary (Suckling) , unless MC rest any players.

Suckling too.

[bornadog]

Suckling too.

Suckling is the only player out.

[always right]

Easton Wood...hamstring tightness...misses two weeks
Caleb Daniel...calf tightness...likely to miss two weeks

I've learned that whenever I read "tightness" I should substitute it with the word "strain".

Nearly sh*t myself when I saw this online.

Honeychurch is yet to prove he can make any kind of real impact at senior level. We have many players who can do what he does but better. I don't see what all the fuss is about with HC and wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it in the long run. He has no standout attributes and is admired I suspect because he gives it his all.

But what is VFL form? I don't think Beveridge measures VFL form in terms of how many disposals a player gets. I think it's about doing the smaller things that mean you can fit into our AFL system.

Where's the fun in that! Every question on this forum can be answered like that.

VFL form is what it is. I agree that if HC doesn't have the attributes he needs to make it at senior level he shouldn't play. He has a number of pretty decent ones though and they've been on display in the VFL. He may be the perpetually good VFL player but never cut the mustard when he steps up but what else do I have to go on other than VFL form?

HC pressure has been fantastic at VFL. How about he comes into the senior team and gets his 15 touches and harasses the opposition like there's no tomorrow? Seems at a superficial level to be par with Adcock's output.

I don't think anyone but those close knit at the club really know the answer of whether he can synergise into our system at the highest level.
