Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide

[azabob]

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.

West for mine would be better option than Cavarra. West was extremely unlucky to be dropped after 1 game.

Granted he's played all of one game but West won't shirk anything willing.

When he wasn't snapping timely goals against both the wind and flow of play yesterday he was happily in the thick of it, even put one opponent on his arse after a wrestle then stood over him daring the bloke to go on with it. He didn't.

He's got his Dad's resolve, and he's ready. I'd have no qualms bringing him in if there's a spot going.

Adelaide are going to throw everything at us this Sunday.
I was more confident going into the GWS game than this.
If we go in thinking we're going to walk this in and kick a dozen unanswered goals we'll get set on our backside.
Hope we go in with the right mindset and with the requisite level of respect for Adelaide.
For mine, we need to repay Adelaide for 2015 Elimination Final.

The one thing I am confident about is the midfield, but as you say, we need to be on our game as Crows will be desperate.

Ballarat clash sold out

Dale, McLean, Smith, Lipinski to mop up.

Hayes another run with role on Sloane or Crouch (take your pick).

[azabob]

Doc have you dropped Dickson or injured?

Reluctantly for balance, yes have elected to spell Tory. Is made a bit easier reading that he may have some hamstring tightness. The downside is taking out an experienced goal kicker heading into the finals doesn’t sit that well.

Would just prefer to retain Lew Young and would like to see what Zaine might add up forward as a 3rd tall.

I was unsure of Hayes but as a running role with player he adds some unique value to the team.

Young was the best backman against the Giants. He took a few contested marks and kicked well, and the Giants started to go wider and not through CHF. That allowed the others to play their natural games and the backline worked effectively.

one thing I noticed was they didn’t make use of his height when kicking in. Obviously not used to his presence.

Not 100% sure of this this and I stand to be corrected. But wasn't it Hayes who played on Whitfield after half time and stopped his run?.

Not if you listen to GWS, he could breathe.

I should learn to read. I read an article from the Australian which was to do with how dangerous the Dogs will be if we make it.

The Dogs are a dangerous side because they cause severe injury to opponents without any consequence.

Last weekend Dog Bontempelli cracked a neck bone of opponent Giant Haynes in a late high shot.

Haynes struggled to breathe, will miss the entire finals series - and yet Bontempelli receives only a slap on the wrist fine.

The Dogs are dangerous because they are unaccountable, protected by the VFL - and have a licence to severely injure opponents without consequence.

The message for junior footballers is very clear and very disturbing.

So I guess I was still pissed off with the comment.

This is disgraceful. How is there not more talk of recklessness and bans?

The GWS doctors are very lucky to escape unscathed after putting a player back on the field who “couldn’t breathe” and taking 48 hours to realise he had broken his neck!!
