Match Committee: Round 10 vs St Kilda

[1eyedog]

So if St.Kilda structure up with Bruce (197), McCartin (194) & Membrey (188) do we go with Adams (192), Morris (190) & Wood (187) or do we need to add a Cordy or Roberts to the mix?

I don't think we bring in Cordy, not if Jake comes back in and Cloke plays. It kinda defeats the purpose of dropping Red / Cloke and then bringing in Cordy so Adams can go forward. I don't mind the above and think Adams and Morris can take Bruce and McCartin.

The Cloke v Redpath debate is so fascinating.

Redpath has nearly doubled Clokes goals over their last 25 games. So if your looking at hitting the scoreboard you have to big Redpath.

However, Clokes clearly takes the points in workrate and versatility.

People I have spoken too are divided on who's in our best 22.

In my opinion Clokes workrate and versatility have him ahead. However... If Roughy comes in and Boyd stays forward I would prefer Redpath.

Will be interesting to see what the MC decide.

My problem with Redpath is he plays in bursts and seems to disappear for long periods. In his first game back against WC, he took 10 marks but was no where to be seen in the last quarter when we needed someone to kick a goal. Against Geelong, he was rarely sited.

Cloke is dangerous right through a game and as you say is more versatile. I could be wrong, but I can't see Cloke being dropped.

How did you come to this conclusion?

How did you come to this conclusion?

in terms of roles in the team, I'd have Boyd and Cloke fighting for the CHF/2nd ruck spot. Redpath as the lead out FF.

I much prefer the set up of Redpath FF, Boyd CHF and Roughy ruck. Rather than Boyd FF, Cloke CHF and Roughy ruck.

Cloke, outside of the Sydney game hasn't been that impressive. Redpath was quiet last week, but our midfield got absolutely slaughtered which didn't help. he still managed to hit the scoreboard twice. I expect him to keep improving each game he plays.

I also feel like Redpath can get Brown/Carisle on the lead.

Can we stop pretending that Redpath 'getting on the scoreboard' was in any way shape or form anything more than either extreme fortune, a result of the good work of others, or a combination of the two. Subtracting Jenkins Specials or Harry Taylor dropping an uncontested mark after badly beating Jack in a one-on-one, I'm willing to give him credit for 2 goals.

Narrative aside, he's been really, really poor since coming back in, and has shown no indication that he can get anyone on the lead. He's settling for one-out wrestling contests, which have long been proven to not be his go. I hate Cloke too, but if Stringer is right to play then it's definitely Jack to go out.

Apparently Cloke has been dropped

He has had some luck, yes. But cashing in on the good work of others is what a forward like him is in the side to do.

Redpath takes his opportunities. He's kicked 40 odd goals in his last 20 odd games. He missed that set shot late last week but he couldn't have struck it much better in what was a tricky end to goal from.

Is that from a reliable source?

Mitch Cleary tweeted Cloke has been dropped.

Also on Brad Lynch's Instagram story he has a photo of English "young fella is getting a game"

Would have to assume that's AFL..

[Mofra]

Huge news if true. Does that mean Roughy plays VFL for another week?

Yeah Mitch Cleary as Jaytee said.

Great news if true. Can see him taking his chance and not looking back.
