Mark West - late withdrawal - random injury (insert details here...nothing would surprise me!).
Replaced in the line-up by Jose Romero.

Maybe but wouldn't he have to also learn to play on all types though?

Are you saying he was v GC, or generally you don’t see a role week to week?

I think we value our tall forward set up more than our backline, which we're happy to have play out positionally rather than structurally.
We saw it against Collingwood too with Keath going forward with no match up for him.

I watched Young closely yesterday and he got lost and was out of position at times; just seems slow to react when we don't have it.
I can see why he's struggled for a game.
Certainly not discarding him that's emotive wording, more can you go back and learn what to do and display it consistently.
If we give him more time that's OK too. I just like what I see with Khamis and think he gives us some felixibilty as he can take a tall or mid sized forward with his aerial ability.
Finlayson and Himmelberg the two talls. Keath and the second.
Riccardi, not worried can use an intercept/team defence probably with maybe a Crozier the matchup.
Greene tough matchup. Wood probably.
Scott and McNeil, I disagree. Yes not a lot of the ball you can argue but what they do without it is top notch team play.
Good positioning, running hard without it, pressuring the opposition, selfless stuff consistently. Certainly not rusted on first team players but I like what they bring to the table at this stage.

I'll be pretty happy if Mumford has a rest this week. Can't stand that dirty battering ram.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Will never forget what that pig of a man did to Libba - basically crushing him with purpose only to injure. He and Thug Greene are IMO sportsmen of the lowest order - calling them animals is a disservice to our furry friends. I kind of hope he plays and we make him look silly and old and slow. My fear is he will hurt one of our players so on balance yeah - I agree would be good if he did not play.
I envy those going to Canberra to see game live. Due to personal circumstances decided not to go.

I think he didn't have a proper match up and felt a little lost. He will be fine next week.

I'd argue against that because there were at least 2 key forwards playing for the Suns and we tend to play more prepositionally than man v man anyway

When we were giving up easy transition goals in the 3rd qtr our whole defensive structure fell part at times of which Lewis was a part of, but it would be a stretch to say he was alone. In the last qtr when Bailey Dale made a really good intercept spoil and later gathered the ball with the resulting play ending up with a goal to our team Ben King was standing inside F50 all alone whilst his opponent (Alex Keath) was on the wing... Point being players get lost at times and I think we need to cut a 6'5"guy playing his 2nd game in 18 months and someone we need to develop a little slack. With Gardner out for the next 4-6 weeks we need to give Lewis this time to put his best foot forward and make the role his own.
If Khamis comes in I would think it's as the 3rd tall. Not sure it would be beneficial for him to play as KP defender at this stage of his development... and I too like what he will bring to the team and would like to see him in the team shortly.

There impact is extremely limited.. and whilst Scott was very involved yesterday I see our small forwards as our weak link at present and feel we need to get more out the players in these roles.
I guess we will see how they go over the coming weeks, but I'm not hopeful they will develop into the type of players we need if we are to contend in 2021.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
I’m all for bringing Buku in as a direct replacement for Williams. They basically play the same role and have similar skill sets from what I’ve seen. Williams often takes the 3rd tall, so would expect Khamis to do the same. Daniel will clearly come in so it’ll be interesting if the MC add another mid sized defender or just bring Caleb in and rely on the ability of Wood and Crozier to contest in the air.
It’s going to be a pretty fascinating week for selection.

Bevo mentioned some players looked to be struggling to cover the ground at times. McNeil was the only teenager on the field tonight. I wonder whether he may have a rest coming.
Given McNeil has speed, maybe Vandermeer comes back in for McNeil?
Martin for Sweet,
Daniel for Williams.
Not sure Lewy Young holds his spot, ,maybe Buku comes in? GWS aren't particularly tall up forward right now.
Everyone before this forgot about VDM surely
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
