Match Committee - Round 7 2016 vs Adelaide

[Mofra]

Is Webb injured??
Hamling???

One interview mentioned Webb was a few weeks away and was working on aspects of his game at Footscray.
I guess we won't see him at AFL level until he can take a few turns rotating through the middle? Shame, as he's looked good off the HB line before and after being pro-Adcock during the pre-season I'm losing faith quickly.

so perhaps it's a simple matter of us only having space for one genuinely small player in our forward line who takes a few turns through the middle.

Hunter and Dahl have rotated through the forward line and midfield with Daniel playing, back when we had our best HB available

Hard to believe we're a better team with Dale and Adcock over Honey and Webb.

Must be last chance for Adcock. It's like Brett Goodes all over again. Keeps playing but no one is really sure what he offers over some of the younger players

Not sure what point you're making?

I think Adcock has done some good things, he's just not doing enough that is all.
Needs to get more involved in the game than down the bottom of the disposals table for a small mid/hb/hff'er type.

The MC are obviously trying to develop Dale and giving him a sustained run to learn from mistakes may be the best way to do that.
Webb is learning to develop his game in a specific role at Footscray at the moment, probably no point promoting to go back and play a different role. Likewise with Honey playing as a midfielder. Let's develop him so he can play more than just defensive forward, because if that is all he can do he won't last very long without more strings to his bow.

Redpath in is important. Not sure how well he will go, depends on the ball coming in. Talia will stitch him up 1 on 1 but on a lead he may expose him.
If we bomb it in like last week then we will struggle and so will Redpath.

You said "only having space for one genuinely small player in our forward line who takes a few turns through the middle." - clearly based on past rounds and selection there is room for more than one.

Beveridge says Hunter will play:

"He's fine. He's good to go," Beveridge said of Hunter on Friday morning.

"He's done all the testing, (there's) no dramas and he'll be ready and raring to go tomorrow night (against Adelaide).

So probably likely to miss then!

Dahl's (178cm) a midfielder who takes turns in the forward line, Hunter (183) largely a midfielder.

Daniel (168cm) plays predominantly forward and I'd expect Honey (176cm) to as well if given a turn.

With forward spots essentially reserved for rotations I'm wondering if the MC thinks having two players who are genuinely small playing predominantly forward isn't the right mix.

The MC tend to pick based on form rather than size - I'd say if they're good enough they're tall enough.

CLEARANCE king Tom Liberatore will be given every chance to prove his fitness ahead of the Western Bulldogs’ crucial clash with Adelaide on Saturday night.

Liberatore suffered a corked thigh in last week’s loss to North Melbourne, with doubts lingering throughout the week that he may not play against the high flying Crows.

Although he was named in the Dogs’ team on Thursday night, there remains the possibility that he could be a late withdrawal.

Lachie Hunter is also right for selection after being cleared of concussion concerns.

Fellow midfielders Josh Dunkley and Mitch Honeychurch have been named as emergencies if Liberatore and Hunter aren’t deemed fit to play.
