    could also consider Trengove, Schache, Young. Schache kicked about 20 goals in the last part of last season, I can remember 4 bags of three.
    At least you know with Schache, if he only has 3 kicks at goal in a game, he's invariably ending up with 3 goals.

    Best set shot at the club (besides Wallis and Dicko but they max out at around 40m).

    The problem with Bruce though is if he doesn't play at AFL level, he doesn't really get a chance to work on his match fitness and will probably just end up ballooning out more.

    Schache *MUST* come in as our second tall in the forward line if they're so hell bent on keeping Bruce there.

    My god if they bring Gowers back for Lloyd I'll be ropeable. This is Dicksons last year with us, he signed for one more year, let him go out with a couple more bags to his name.

    Young is not a forward, Schache is.
    Played all his junior football as a junior forward as well as with Sturt in the SANFL. Played forward for us in the preseason and played well. Is definitely a chance to come in.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I'd prefer Schache as a forward to Young, though Young offers that flexibility Bevo craves.

    Plus when he played earlier this season, our mids were woeful and couldn't give him a good look at it.

    If Lewis could replicate the preseason form in an actual senior game, he'd be worth playing.

    Huge huge huge test for Tim English against Todd Goldstein.

    Do we back him in to go one and one or do we bring in Trengrove or Sweet for support?

    Given Sweet has been named an emergency in most games this year, it wouldn't surprise me to see him come in for Naughton, and rotate with English.

    Unfortunately Sweet would need to be on a motorbike to keep up with Goldstein, and given that English is able to play almost the entire game time I don't think it is overly feasible. Having two rucks is something most teams are avoiding at the moment and the Swans did us a favour last night selecting two rucks.

    I think Lewis Young's significant VFL period of playing ruck/forward - would position him as the likely fwd/second ruck if we are looking for that type of set up.

    Sames and Cordy and Keath have appeared very capable in the mens department over the past two weeks so not sure the flexibility Young could potentially provide is required.

    If Schache isn’t selected this week, then there is a definite issue with him vs the MC...which I think there might be, so...

    Out- Naughton, Lloyd
    In - Dickson, Jong
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    You must not be very easily surprised because I would fall off my chair if the match committee all of sudden changed philosophies.

    I think with 4 emergencies able to be named it's common sense to always include ruck cover when you only play one ruckman.

    The common sense decision would be to name Trengove as the emergency because he can cover ruck and defence. From all reports Sweet had a good pre-season and his being consistently named an emergency suggests to me that he's in the mix. Then with Bruce out of form, I think the MC will be inclined to replace Naughton with another tall and what are the options? Le. Young, Schache, Gardner. Lewis Young seems the most likely inclusion but the Sweet/English combination might have some appeal.

    Another factor at play is the lack of VFL football, providing a strong incentive for all clubs to rotate many players through the senior team, in order to keep them match fit and engaged.

    Good to hear from you mate.

    Given you've been away, on the first point it's probably something you don't have to worry about. 99% of Woofers want Trengove in the team.

    I would prefer Schache over anyone to come in for Naughton, he gets a few opportunities a game and usually converts them. Providing he is fit I don't see how he's not our best long term option in a year we're being youth perverts.

    I'd put in Fergus for Lloyd.

    If Schache is to play he needs Bruce to also play and take the number one defender.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 5 Vs North Melbourne 2020

    I think there are two logical changes to the side to play North given the injuries we had on Thursday night
    Schache for Naughton makes sense
    Greene or Dickson for Lloyd also makes sense. We might even roll the dice on playing Weightman

    Or could it make more sense to bring in two taller players as an insurance to cover Brown and Goldstein as there is a strong chance we might have to use Cordy in the ruck for a period of time.
    Could Lewis Young or Gardener be in consideration?

    North have two taller players that can dominate against us in Goldy and Brown plus a number of mid sized players like Thomas, Zurhaar, Ziebell, Hall, Higgins, Simpkin and Anderson that can impact the scoreboard so it's going to be a great test for us

    I think we need to bring in two taller players but I concede that is probably unlikely,
