Always Right Match Committee - Round 10 Vs St Kilda 2021

[Rocco Jones]

I’d rather try to exploit a player like McKernan rather than trying a tall to cover him.

The "Gilbee to resting ruckman" rule

Bailey Williams, come on down

[Grantysghost]

Matchup wise this week Keath to King is obvious. Cordy is ok size wise for Membrey. It depends on who replaces Marshall though. They could bring in McKernan who has size and would be a suitable match for Gardner. Alternatively Cordy plays on McKernan and Williams/Crozier have to play undersized on Membrey.

McKernan played well for Sandringham. I think Geary will come in too.

We actually tried this earlier this year against West Coast with Williams on Kennedy and got somewhat cooked by it.

Not that McKernan is a patch on Kennedy, but it does provide for pause.

[bornadog]

Yep. Because Crozier was sub on the weekend - so we played 23. I think thats right....I may be wrong!

You had outs of the 22 as:

Hannan
Wood
Lipinski
McNeil

English
Hunter
Crozier

Membrey is only 188cm, but plays tall

[Scraggers]

I didn't think Cordy, Crozier and Wood all fit in the same backline, too similar in terms of size. All three struggle to bite off difficult kicks and slow down our ball movement at times.

Cordy could easily replace Wood, with Gardner taking over the key defender role. That leaves Crozier in limbo though.

I think Crozier's role changed when he came in for Wood. He was more of a run-with back, than a run-off back. He had a definitive role as Wood's replacement, and therefore played a better game.

In that case....McNeil stays in!

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Said it in the port game day thread, but I’m really looking forward to watching Cody play in front of a home crowd in Melbourne. He hasn’t had that chance yet, but you get the feeling with him that he lives for the big moments and thrives from the energy of a crowd.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Talk about spoil the party.

[Ghost Dog]

How long is Easton expected out for?

Bevo mentioned this in his presser today:

A number of other players, Beveridge said, had pulled up sore from the win over Port Adelaide, with Patrick Lipinski (who had his thigh strapped), Mitch Hannan, Jordon Sweet, Aaron Naughton and Josh Bruce among those on light duties on Tuesday.

I reckon it might mean we see Hunter come in for Lipinski and Smith stays in. English for Hannan might be likely too. Hopefully Sweet, Naughts and Bruce are good to go.

Hunter for Lipinksi and English for Hannan would be my preferred outs anyway, even if injury wasn't an issue.
