Always Right Match Committee - Round 10, 2018 vs Collingwood

[Twodogs]

It's gonna be fascinating to see how we structure up tonight. It's been a long time since we've had such a numerical advantage in the big man department:

Dogs >193; 6 - Boyd 200, Roughy 200, Schache 199, Trengove 197, Cordy 193, Bont 193.
Pies >193; 3 - Cox 211, Grundy 203, Reid 196.

Would it go back as far as when we were lining up with Dempsey, Quinlan, Sandilands, Templeton and Ian Salmon or the like?

The game has changed a bit. The only player out of that forrest of talls listed there who is taller than the Bont is Gary Dempsey. And Dempsey is only 4 CMs taller.

Dunks is not one of our slowest midfielders. Would be amongst the quickest at the club.

I'd like to see them play Dunks down back like his old man did. Let him run at the ball and start taking his grabs.

In this day and age the better kicks are behind the ball an poorer kicks in front of the ball, it's reverse world from 20 years ago.

Dunkley still has fantastic hands and long term will be a player, getting him to do the basics in the VFL for a few weeks won't hurt him.

What are people's thoughts on defensive roles? Collingwood have a few midfielders who can use it really well - Sidebottom, Treloar, Pendlebury, but I'm not sure who we've got best suited to play a run with role. Maybe Dahlhaus to Sidebottom?
