Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 3, Vs Gold Coast Suns

[GVGjr]

That's a fair call. I think he's playing small-pressure forward out of necessity and it hasn't really worked. Is Cavarra far off?

I think Cavarra would be a fair bit off the mark at the moment. Needs some continuity with his football

I'm always down with dropping Suckling.

I thought Suckling was very good today. Found the ball and defended very well.

I thought so too.

No way will Bevo make any changes this week. We will go on I changed with Smith going out the week after. Easy kill coming up and confidence building fir smith. They just need to set him up with a role and he’ll be ok.

3 love I say.

I don't think Gold Coast have shown themselves to be easy kills so far. Disrespect them and I believe they'll keep you honest

That's ok. I'm happy to disagree.

Wouldn't drop Smith or Young - both played well and have a lot more to give, which only playing at the top level will allow.

Bit worried about Richards' form but if we drop him for Lipinski we look a lot slower. Richards for Williams maybe.

No change otherwise.

I wonder what the real reason was for Williams not playing today

Ah that's right sorry token whipping boy. Soz forgets...

I resent that. I have legitimate gripes with his disposal and decision making. I've never had a "token whipping boy" in my life.

I think he's totally a paycheque player that takes the easy option 100% of the time and for a guy with a deadly leg cannon he sure kicks a lot of crap.

Happy to disagree with you.

I thought he was important today. 25 kicks and tried his guts out.

2 clangers and 76% disposal efficiency from 29 disposals.

I thought he played a very good game today although his first half was better than the second half.

Think that Smith is building nicely and will benefit from as much senior games as possible so that he can adjust to the pace as quickly as possible.

Obviously putting a ball 50m in the air to no real advantage doesn’t count as a Clanger because he must have done that 10+ times. He was ok overall but if someone was playing well enough to replace him, I’d be very happy.

[westbulldog]

No change

We are carrying Smith atm so I like the idea of swapping him for Lipinski. Smith was better today but I think that's good, shows him he is capable and now we let him play VFL for a couple of weeks to just really build confidence and get the ball knowing he will get another chance soon.

I'm not huge on Young but he was good enough to retain his spot, although should Williams be fit then I'd happily unswap them.

Richards need to stay. He is in and out of games atm but when he is involved good stuff happens. He is also a point of difference to our entire forward half and we have no obvious replacement for his role.
