    Believe so - if Trengove comes in, it’s one of Lloyd or Smith out

    Like everyone, I struggle to predict or explain Bevo's moves but 2016 is where the argument starts and ends I guess.

    I am guessing that forward pressure is the selection theme of the week.

    Williams is in our best 22. Need to be careful that we continue to play fringe players from other AFL Clubs including Duryea Suckling Gowers Lloyd etc at the expense of talented young players secured via the draft.

    Based on what we know, he's done nothing wrong and just didnt have a great game at the start of the season. The fact hes been named in an extended squad should mean hus form is good enough now.

    Given Young and Hayes have been anointed and assuming Trengove's a dead cert in lieu of Schache the rest listed are just window dressing.
    Agree, Sucking has been great for us.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 5, Vs Carlton

    Suckling is a massive out.

    It’s a tough one with Schache. How do you weigh up long term development versus team success. Schache is improving but it means that a team that plays a territory brand of football has a 200cm statue not applying pressure. My rule with big guys is that they need to play like big guys when forward. Schache hasn’t taken enough marks to justify the lack of pressure. Even his game against Hawthorn most of them were not true forward goals. Looks like Bevo has decided to put winning over development for a while.

    Bringing in two debutants says otherwise

    Schache was awful. They'd need the hose to clean the pigeon poo off him because he was basically a statue Friday night. When did Dureya and Suckling get injured?

    So are Hayes and Young locked into start? You'd hope Trengove would be in as well unless we're going to pinch hit Dunkley in the ruck again. Baffling selections.

    Interesting selections so far and while its great to get debut players replaycing experienced players with inexperienced ones could be a gamble.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 5, Vs Carlton

    Hayes' VFL games were good with the exception that several kicks went astray. He kicks those goals that he missed and he's in the best. But no worse than the senior AFL team I suppose where missing goals is the norm.

    Young has been showing some promise and took a spectacular high contested mark against Collingwood last week. His inclusion this early is a bit of surprise but Bev likes to give everybody a senior game.

    I watched the Collingwood/Brisbane game last night, and thought how good was the job our midfield and defense do last week (well for three quarters) ? With no pressure and with the time allowed by Brisbane to let Collingwood deliver the ball to their forwards, they were pretty impressive. Whatever our midfield/backline are doing, they are doing it well.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 5, Vs Carlton

    Hayes seems to be Honeychurch mark II to me. Plenty of heart with terrible skills. Good luck to him though. Hopefully he is a big time player and steps up in the big league.

    Young I have barely seen him kick a sherrin. Looks pretty light but looks a good height. Hopefully we have found a player here.

    I can't understand playing 2 debutants when we have others that look to have earned their place back in the team also. But what would I know? Bevo has never been one to go with the norm so to speak and it got us a premiership all the way back in 2016. Now that I think of it the "norm" actually got us bugger all for 50 odd years so why not I say!! In Bevo we trust.
