Always Right Match Committee - Round 12 Vs Fremantle 2021

[Grantysghost]

Martin should be back this week.

[SquirrelGrip]

I really don't think we have the options for making a lot of changes. Probably Scott back for Garcia. Is Martin ready to come back?

Bevo said in his press conference that Martin trained well on Thursday and they d be taking him to Perth.

Shuffling deck chairs until VDM, Dunks and Treloar are ready.

Scott for Garcia
Martin for Sweet

VDM could be out for the year given he is having knee surgery and his body is pretty fragile any way. Dunks and Treloar are 2 months away. If we're hanging out for these guys, the next few months are going to be hard to swallow.

In: Martin, Scott

Out: Sweet, Garcia

If McNeil needs a rest, then I’d bring in Wally too.

Agreed we need to make the best of what's available. I'm concerned being two elite mids down when we rely so much on our mids dominating.

McNeil gave us nothing last night, just 1 tackle, I would drop him for West or Wally.

Our f50 pressure was near non-existent last night. Do we really rely on atmosphere that much to get up for a game?

Seemed that way didn’t it. If that first quarter wasn’t going thru the motions, I don’t know what is. Let’s not forget though..Dees look well drilled, have the best backline and ruckman in the league. They SHOULDVE been 11-0 after last night, and based on their easy draw (unless COVID changes that), they should finish well clear in the #1 spot.

Not sure on that. Against the saints early on their was no atmosphere at the ground.

[Bullies]

Need a few hardened bodies to come in - Wallis and West come to mind.

If Wallis didn't play this week with all the injuries then not sure he is in the mind of the Match Committee.

He would have been handy to come on for Garcia with the pressure he applies.

I take your point, but mentally there is a big difference between a quiet crowd and an empty stadium. Even the low roar of a quiet crowd is loud compared to a huge empty stadium.

We didn’t exactly set the world on fire in the 1st quarter against the saints either

[Hotdog60]

If VDM is out for the year does that mean we can take a mid season draft pick?

The decision by the MC not to find replacements in the midfield for Dunkley and Treloar against Melbourne left us terribly exposed with Liberatore being tagged, to play his quietest game for the year. Let’s hope common sense prevails against Freo with both Wally and West recalled to boost the midfield.
