Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 2, Vs Hawthorn

[boydogs]

I thought Bailey Smith was alright, was expecting him to run out of puff much sooner

We definitely had a few passengers though and players making poor errors - Lipinski and JJ could come in for any of Duryea, Suckling, Crozier, Williams, Smith, Gowers, Dickson or Richards

If there's nothing forced, I'd make no change.

Just caught up with the replay and Smith did some really nice things in that third quarter and seemed to spend a bit of time tagging Jones and Heeney. Think he showed enough to not be dumped straight out - would benefit from more time around the contest though.

If a change is forced, I'd be looking at Roberts or Young in. I think we still looked too small down back and having another 6'5er in Naughton back there really steadied us in the last.

Hawks forward line isn’t land of the giants so we should be able to get through with our current defensive set up. I am concerned with going in with English against McEvoy and Ceglar especially on the bigger ground.

[S Coast Simon]

We can definitely play Trengove as well next week. He can be assigned to One of McEvoy or Ceglar and just go where they go. Looks like Suckling will miss a couple of weeks.

Bevo all but said Trengove is a ruck only and we'll be sticking with one ruck for next week.
It will be English again with Schache chop outs.

If JJ is right to go he's straight in for me, the whole point of throwing Smith in was to give us some pace. He was ok in the last quarter but looked lost leading up to that. Sucklings ankle will be assessed - we'll have either one or two changes at a guess with Lippi the next cab off the rank after JJ.

Round three will be interesting as we might be tempted to bring another tall in after round two.

Based on Bevo's press conference this morning there will be no changes unless Suckling doesn't get through the test on his ankle.

* LB: Matt (Suckling) has got to get through training today as we’re are playing on Sunday. We’re optimised he will be fine.

* LB: The boys that played for Footscray played pretty well, but I imagine we will go in unchanged - there may be in adjustment (if Matt Suckling is unavailable).


* LB: Today’s our main session & we’ll progress through some structural things. We got a look at what they did against Adelaide, they were outstanding in they way they defended.


* LB: I think it was valuable the experience for Bailey Smith. He was working hard, to his credit he persevered and got into the game in the third quarter. He will definitely play & will be better for the run.


* LB: It’ll good for him to get it out of the way early (Taylor Duryea playing vs old side), he was very good for us last week Doc. He’s got some strong friendships at the Hawks, was best clubman there last year.


* LB: We can (play Easton as a key defender) we haven’t played him as a key defender often. We’re more for defence that works together, we support each other & there’s a big reliance on pressure

Greene, Young, Trengove and Lipinski added to an already potent extended bench.

Any of the four who miss out will be stiff.

[hujsh]

Is there a reason the extended bench is now an additional 4?

Emergencies are now four.

Will all be emergencies unless Suckling doesn't come up or another injury

Is it concerning that Trengove doesn't command a spot when fit?

We have a lot of young talent we have to develop. We got Trengrove cheapish from memory so I don't mind him being a fill-in and a leader on the track. I am expecting Hawthorn to take a leaf out of Port's book and work Bont over. I hope we can be less insipid than Melbourne if this happens.

The problem for Hawthorn being that Bont THRIVES on that. Remember when North, led by Firrito, tried to rough him up after his comments about Lindsay Thomas. Bont made them look stupid and was close to BOG. And he was two years younger than he is now.

[Axe Man]

Apparently if we go in unchanged this week it will be the first time since a little game we played in October 2016.

Ah, Macau Lightning vs Japan Goannas in Vietnam. Good times.
