Always Right Match Committee Rd 19 vs Fremantle

Cam McCarthy dropped for Freo.

So Lyon is still in. Bewdy, we win

Sweet named in the extended squad interestingly enough despite being a mile off it.

Sandilands and Lobb.

Sandilands and Lobb.

Sure, but one's injured and the other's a hundred and three.

Assuming Lobb plays since when do we pick talls to combat talls? Particularly when the ruck's involved.

Anyway, just find the messaging interesting. As in, go on Ross, pick em both.

FMD Freo or the media are trying thair very best to sack Lyon this week, the week they play the dogs. Teams will go to great lengths for a win

There's a lot of innuendo surrounding Ross Lyon and the Stkilda job right now. Will he stay or will he go. Can't they do all this next week and leave us out of it!

[AutoFill]

West and Morris are locked in. Schacke, the Bont and Sucking will be out. I’d love to see Sweet debut this week and play out the season. On form alone I’m sure it’s a long shot but he’s getting his hand on the ball a lot.

Nearly there... better buy a lotto ticket

I think they tend to name players that are performing well in the VFL in the extended squad as a bit of encouragement when often they are not actually much chance of being picked at that time.

Surely doesn't play.

We'd have heard by now if they were debuting someone.

I hope they both play and we go a little shorter.

I can think of only one game this year where talls got a hold of us (the first game against Carlton) where we played Cordy as a sole KPD and our mids were poo anyway.
When we out run the opposition (both ways) we generally win.

Shane Warne was "a mile off it" by your definition in 1992 when he got 1/150 in his first test. Why such negativity about Sweet before he has even been given a chance ?

Really? It's not even negativity. Sweet's a long term prospect who's good in the ruck but not really anywhere else at his point.

[Rocket Science]

I'm not ragging on Sweet - who is actually a mile off it - I'd love us to select him and send him out to coathanger anyone who so much as looks at English.

Fingers crossed for the Essendon game.

Just to clarify the discussion,

what would Sweet have to do (apart from 40 hitouts) to have a successful game?

I have never seen anyone define success for a Bulldog ruckman.

I may be wrong but I suspect the prerequisite for being a ruckman in a Bevo-coached squad is that you're actually a ruck rover.

That suggests Sweet has a little bit of work to do.

[The Pie Man]

From what little I've seen of Sweet I was impressed with his aggression and willingness to spoil a pack, and he's very good at the actual ruck contest. Nice long kick too.

Mobility and getting into general play more seems to be a development area.
