Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
I’ve got a feeling that if English was an out at the very last minute with ‘illness’ ( I’m thinking flu like symptoms) then he might be out for next week as well, assuming he’ll be crook for a week. I’ll put it out there that Sweet makes his debut, and unfortunately it will be Young that goes out. Pity though as Young was really good. He just doesn’t have enough credits to retain his spot.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
I can think of one genuine stinker from Cordy from the last few weeks, and that's it. He's tightened right up as has the captain who only had one Easton moment today.........which is around his career average.
I'm really happy for Lew Young, he's come into the side and had an impact through playing well after a bit of a shaky start. The question for me is who do we trust the most out of our defenders and which combination provides the most flexibility for us if things aren't going our way? For mine it's Cordy, Wood and Trengove rather than Young, Wood and Trengove.
So if English is ready then he comes in for Cordy. I want to see Liberatore get through a match prior to exposing him to the seniors, so if he is ready then he plays at Footscray.

It was apparently gastro, with Brent Prismall succumbing to it as well. I'm concerned that it will rip through the group this week, like a flu like illness did in the latter stages of 2010.......which was a bloody disappointment of a year!

Heard he called his toilet ‘GWS’ for the afternoon, so he didn’t miss out on shitting on GWS either.

I Want us to get back to the point with defense where we can play Cordy up forward again to help get the ball up the ground, when we did that in 16 and, a few times this year, our forward line looks alot better for it.

Lewy Young could be our Harris Andrews.
Whether now's the right time to anoint him is a vexing question though.

His intercepting has been a highlight at vfl level all year (15 marks last week) but I was very impressed with his 1 on 1 defending after qtr time. He used his long arms to get to kill a few contests he had no right chopping.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
I reckon Dickson will be in doubt due to a hamstring either being slightly strained or tight/sore.
He noticeably reached for it in the last couple of seconds of the third quarter and looked to go off the ground with about 15 minutes to go in the last and finish the game in a tracksuit top.
Bad timing if that's the case, but with the week off it might be OK.

He had a similar issue the previous week, so may be something about to happen.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
I can't believe the calls for Cordy to make way. Zaine's a lock in my humble opinion.
Hayes makes way for English if there are no other forced ommissions.

Surely then when become too top heavy and lose running power?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
Calls to drop Young after a good game are mystifying, some would have him out whether he played well or not. Cordy is not the long term answer to CHB. Young stays imo.

If English is out again why wouldn't we just leave it as is? Trengove did an admirable job in the ruck, this isn't the time to leap into the unknown with Sweet.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
If Dicko has a bit of Hammy soreness could we see Cavarra debut.
It's a bit of like for like. West would be another option but if we start to get on top and the Crows look like they are out could a more seasoned campaigner be better if it gets a bit willing.
