Well here we go again. Game more than likely to be wet. How does that affect our selection? Surely it means Libba stays in. Perhaps Richards and Dale will get a spell

Should suit Porter, we certainly won't be seeing Schache return.

How can you be so positive. I get nervous each week at the selection table.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns
Does anyone think we are trialling so many youngsters now with the view that we will need them during the compressed part of the season?
What do we do with the likes of Bontempelli during this period? Play him more forward so it lessens the potential of him missing a game?

I think that is definitely what we are doing. The only feasible strategy during this period is to rotate the team and have everyone who isn't a total liability play at least one of these games.

I'd rest Bont forward up and then give him a week off against Adelaide if he needs it.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Even money we will get a head scratcher in selection later today but the wet should also keep Gardner away and I haven't heard any calls for Sweet yet this week so it's all good, so far...

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns
According to Bevo presser:
* Libba's knees need to be managed at some stage ( could be this week)
* Sam Lloyd and Billy Gowers are in the mix to return (Shakes head)
Beveridge says he won't be managing players with "any Nostradamus outlook" over the next few weeks, but expect to see a whole host of players get their chance with short turnarounds.

Definatley sounds like libba out, porter in as a direct replacement.
Got some big games coming up, good time to rest him.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Bont rotated forward a lot and less in the bash and crash. Appeared to be a little sore at time last week.
There's a lot of talk of Lloyd coming back, not sure who for, although i wasn't very impressed with Bailey Dale last week. Was non existent and was shown up by a first gamer.

The talk is Lloyd and/or Gowers. Could only be to replace Dale surely. Although surely anything on the match committee is difficult.
My mind races through all sorts of implausible options and I just want to see the team to keep them out of my head.

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns
If Libba is sore this week, obviously rest him. But if it is load management over the next 4 weeks as a precaution to ensure his knees don't get sore, I'd much rather he plays this week and misses against Richmomd. His clearance work and inside grunt will be sorely needed against one of the best clearance teams in the comp, and conversely we'll need less grunt and more run and spread the following round against the Tigers.
