Match Committee - Round 7 2016 vs Adelaide

[1eyedog]

Just reckon Lin's attributes are great, but his defiencies are prominent

Agreed. But there's not much in the shed at moment. I think JJ, Daniel, Boyd and Suckers would have been the difference. Dale, Jong, Adcock and Roberts were all poor.

Spot on, John. So much for the depth.

[boydogs]

It wasn't Dale's style of game tonight. He was a bit fumbly when he got it but ultimately couldn't find the space to work in

[GVGjr]

The Crows are a bit similar to North with 3 key talls and a couple of clever small forwards. Do we look to change things up with our backline?

I couldn't tell on TV. What did Roughy do when not playing ruck. Defend?

[always right]

I want to see Hamling in for Roberts. Unfortunately Fletcher has zero intensity and awareness.
Redpath needs to come in for Adcock and Honeychurch in for Dale or Jong.

Played forward.

[jeemak]

What did people think of Jong's game?

I thought he started really well. He faded, and unfortunately fumbled a couple of crucial balls and lost his head using the football by foot once or twice, but wasn't alone in doing so.

[G-Mo77]

Played forward.

I'm serious when I say I only noticed him there once. I would have been certain he helped out in defence.

[Rocco Jones]

Depth of quality sides always overrated. Guns and good players make the ordinary guys look less ordinary. The less guns or good players you have, the more they are exposed.

Roughy and Campbell combo was a bit ugly tonight. Feel for Roughy but not sure he good enough as a 2nd ruck/forward. I would go with his as a 2nd ruck/defender vs Jenkins. IRC he had a good game in the role last year.

i rate Beveridge super highly as I am sure most of you do. I didn't like/rate the Roberts in and again, think he knows better but tonight didn't help. It's a massive sacrifice to play a tall these days and he isn't good enough atm.

In- Daniel, Redpath, Dunkley/Honeychurch
Out- Dale, Roberts, Adcock

[bornadog]

Played forward.

He was rarely in the forward line. Campbell wasn't either, so we were left with a very short forward line. When Roughy eventually went onto the forward line he took a good mark and fluffed the kick. I think he had 4 disposals for the night.

[Greystache]

In- Webb, Honeychurch, Collins, Daniel
Out- Dale, Stringer, Roberts, Roughead

Stringer needs several weeks in the reserves to rediscover the urgency of AFL football. Playing from behind and hoping for a hanger is pathetic and letting the club down.

Roughead when not rucking is a liability. We need to move on. His goal kicking is beyond laughable.

Dale can't find the ball currently.

Don't think Roberts is an AFL footballer.

Hard to disagree with any of that at the moment.

I'm tempted to get Williams into the side, because we really need to generate some run from the backline, which our current group is simply not capable of doing. I realise he is still a long way off a game, but if we play the same style next week (a style which lacked any dare, run and overlap) we will get flogged.

Bevo said Williams and Lynch just not ready yet for AFL. Webb would be my pick to run off the backline and he can have some stints in the middle as well.

I've liked the look of Lynch but I think it's unlikely he'd be able to deliver a similar performance at AFL at this stage.
