Always Right Match Committee - Round 5 Vs North Melbourne 2020

[Rocco Jones]

Say what? He's one of the quickest players we have.

Yep. Vanders also has a sweet sidestep.

Lol do you really think he's quick? I don't. I mean he's ok but, you know he's not quick enough to mask all his other deficiencies. I'm not putting him on the meat hook. He's a neat player and could be useful down the track but when others come back from injury he'll be shelved pretty quickly I would have thought.

Ok we better keep playing him then.

I am not so sure. I think Bevo sees him as playing a role and he is playing it pretty well. Maybe when Hunter comes back he may drop out, but I think its more likely that Bevo will drop someone else. I like what he brings. at the moment he seems to bob up in the right spots. With more games he will make more of the right decisions.

Cavarra is available, Wood and Jong are a test so may come in?

I think Cavarra would be make a nice replacement for Lloyd but if he hasn't played in any of the scratch matches, he might be overlooked.

I'd go with Schache & Cavarra/Weightman for Naughton & Lloyd.

If Vandermeer is feeling the pinch, then Jong or Hayes could be options and would probably be more productive.

I feel like I’m on a bit of an island here but we’re gonna miss Lloyd more than we think. Him and Naughton are our two best pressure forwards and as impressive as West was last week he’s still unproven. Goes without saying but I don’t trust Dale to keep it up either.

Cavarra *can* do it but I really get the sense he doesn’t really like to. And I reckon Weightman is one teenage body too many. Bit of a conundrum.

Still sad that we missed on Kozzie Pickett. He's an absolute menace in the forward 50.

We've gotta stop snitching on ourselves before the draft. Has cost us a few times.

I now what you mean. I am expecting the unexpected this week.

This point just about confirms that Weightman will play. Bevo certainly won't be put off by having an extra teenager in the side.

"lol" yes - and he has shown that plenty of times last year in the VFL.
Player interviews all say he brings pace to the side - his teammates are all wrong?

If Wood is ready, I assume he comes in for Butler so it would be one kid for another.
Wally becomes our virtual forwardline on field coach. It would be tough as Lloyd runs good patterns, as you have to in the HF graveyard.

He's s not quick enough to hold his place in the team based on our need for that. Sure he's pacy and make us quicker but I have a number of players in front of him in this department including Jong, Lynch and two or three players currently playing.

Anyway, my point is he's not super quick and while he brings a bit of pace to the team I think he needs to bring something more than he currently does to hold his place.

He's not setting the world on fire but surely it's enough to see he is worth persisting with, all things considered. No doubt he'll be given a rest at some point/others will earn a spot, but he's been playing as a half forward - not an easy spot for a kid to come in and play, particularly the way the game's played. He's won some solid one on ones (v Rampe, and one v Saints but can't remember who it was against) to suggest that he has some strength.

HF is a tough gig at AFL level - and I'd say if Jong wasn't injured he wouldn't be getting an opportunity anyway.
I like his swagger. He's raw and not quite ready but all things considered he's doing ok.

I imagine it would have been line-ball between he and Weightman a couple of weeks ago, and they went with the guy who had the extra pre-season under his belt.
