Always Right Match Committee - Round 4 Vs Brisbane 2021

[comrade]

If McInerney isn't fit would we consider going into the game with just one ruckman?

I don't mind it and I'm sure Bevo is considering it, but I think the 3 pronged key forward set up is working pretty well and can potentially stretch the Lions defence.

If it's blowing a gale and raining, going smaller probably makes sense but Martin is the sort of ruckman suited to those conditions anyway.

I am sure Martin would be itching to play against his old club. I am happy to play the two ruckman

Yeah, don't mess with a winning formula. The week after against the Suns would be a good time to give Stef a week off.

Naughty forward means that the opposition has to put their best aerialist on him which is almost always their best interceptor. It takes this player out of the game for them (ala McGovern) as they have to play with accountability.

For me:

In Lippa, Young
Out JJ, Gardiner

As Lippa was subbed in does he need to be an in? Or is he already in?
Serious question

He's a definite in so would need to be omitted. Medical subs go down as playing a game even if they don't take the field.

[Rocco Jones]

In
Young
Jong (Ballarat conditions)
Cavarra (with our mid depth, I think we can go with role guys more and he deserves a go but get he isn't selected)

Out
Gardner
Scott
McNeill (I actually don't mind having him or Scott in the side, just think there might be better options. Would have McNeill for his speed if at Marvel)

Scott or McNeill as sub.

So only change at this stage is Gardner out and Lippinski in?

I’d expect a late change. We need more height down back.

Seems so. Anticlimatic.
What are the rules for late changes; pretty broad?
Jong in please.
Reading the flight of the ball will be more important than height.
Long studs please. No slipping over. They better have been practising in them!

[macca]

Mc not messing with winning formula. I am Glad Lipinksi gets in and tries to hold his spot . I really would like him to improve a lot this year. Would be great to see him take his game to another level .
There is some depth now for midfield places , so everyone needs to be playing on the edge
scoot and McNeill keep their spots , so they must be doing all the right things in terms of forward pressure

So where does that leave Cordy ? Is he now 3rd in line for defense spot?

[kruder]

Imagine if your Young and Bevo doesn’t choose a Tall to replace Gardiner, It would break your heart surely. We need to think more than just this game IMO the next 6 week stretch lets pick either Young or Cordy and back them in.

[kruder]

Iiii

[jeemak]

Surely we're going to show their talls a bit of respect and make a late change.

[Nuggety Back Pocket]

Very unusual to have both Lew Young and Cordy selected as emergencies which would suggest one will come in to compete against the Lions tall forwards.
