Always Right Match Committee - Round 18 Vs Fremantle Dockers 2020

[ratsmac]

Getting anxious...

Me too!

1 minute I'm like "we got this" then I'm "we'll stuff this up for sure."
Surely we'll win....surely

I'm pretty confident. We will be playing like it's a final, Freo hopefully will be thinking about going home. Glad it didn't get shifted to Perth.

[GVGjr]

So...who does Wood take out of Lobb, Hogan and Taberner?

We need THREE (3) talls against Freo, not 2.

We have 3, Cordy, Gardner and Keath
Wood will only assist

Yeah - but it was being suggested Wood would (haha) replace either Gardner or Cordy and I was trying to make the point that we probably shouldn't do that...

Wood - if he plays - probably gets, oh, I don't know...Fyfe!

Freo have some quite serious fire-power right now. Taberner has been fantastic all season and I am actually hoping for a slippery night up in Cairns.

[DOG GOD]

Taberner, Hogan, Lobb, Fyfe and Walters are going to be a handful for sure.
Gardner, Cordy and Keath all have to play, no doubt about it.
If Wood comes in it will have to be for duryea or suckling, unless they just do a McLean for wood swap, but we certainly need that other mid.

Walters is in incredible form. Seems to be playing higher up the ground in recent weeks which might prove difficult to stop.
Taberner has kicked a goal in every game this year and is second in the comp for average contested marks. Lobb is third, so we'll have our work cut out for us.

Their midfield is young though, with Fyfe spending more time forward. Mundy is the mature body but the rest of them are talented (but developing) kids. That's where we need to find out advantage. They have a lot of KPDs out injured too.

Could Wood come in to the backline, Duryea push up to a wing?

Tall def: Cordy, Gardner, Keath
Rebound: Crozier, Williams, Daniel, Wood
Ruck: English
Mid/fwd group: Bont, Macrae, Dunkley, Libba, Baz, Lipinski
Wings: Hunter, Duryea (Roarke)
Tall fwd: Bruce, Naughton
Med fwd: Wallis, JJ, Suckling

My changes have been Wood and Lipinski for Richards and Mclean.
JJ and Duryea could swap, but then Duryea is being taken a long way from his comfort zone (would be classic Bevo though).

Duryea has played as a forward when he was with the Hawks, but his best spot is the backline

I agree, but I still rate him as a player. You can't have all of Crozier, Williams, Wood, Daniel and Duryea in one backline - one at least has to move elsewhere.

Crozier, Williams and Caleb are all having career best years. So it's down to Wood and Duryea - Wood has shown he simply cannot play other positions, whereas Duryea is serviceable.

So then it comes down to Duryea, Richards, Suckling, Roarke for the final spot.

Tough one. Maybe the rotations come into it as well.

[comrade]

I liked the introduction of Duryea and how it freed up JJ to play higher.

Pretty hard to fit all the defenders in tbh, but I’d be picking Doc ahead of Roarke, Suckling and Richards and just making it work.

[josie]

Williams and possibly Daniel to take turns further up ground at times? I recall Williams played mid a bit in VFL when he was not a regular in seniors. Daniel can deliver well into F50 which we need.

[josie]

I would like to see Cavarra in as if slippery a small crumbing forward could be important but do not so how we can fit him in. I think it will be Wood and Lippi in for Maclean and Suckling or just Wood for Maclean.

[josie]

And as noted by woofers-JJ to play further forward as he did against Hawks quite well.

I liked it in theory too but what i didn't like was how easy Doc went to ground multiple times. It's a non-negotiable for a defender in a one on one contest. You can be rusty but you need to keep your feet.

I really don't want Cavarra in. He hasn't really got anywhere near it in any game he's played. We need one touch players in greasy conditions so Lippa comes in.

In: Wood, Lipinski
Out: McLean, R. Smith

I'd move Williams up the ground. He can be iffy one on one deep and his attacking nature may benefit us if he was to move up to a wing.
