Always Right Match Committee - Round 19 Vs Melbourne 2021

[Mantis]

Based on players available, what is the solution.

Not play Crozier as his form at AFL level doesn't warrant it and only play Cordy on suitable types (slow lumbering types)... if there is no suitable match-ups he probably doesn't play.

Neither have the ability to play on anyone with some speed & agility.

Who of the top 6 sides have a lumbering type that suits Cordy?

My feelings on Cordy and his position within the team are well known so I'll just go with there are none.

He's costing us goals on a weekly basis due to poor defensive abilities and offers us nothing with ball in hand.

Interesting to compare Zaine versus Young for this year.

Was surprised by Zaine's disposal efficiency, Lewis has lifted his from the lower sixties from memory (his career now sits at 66%). The big difference is time on ground, with Zaine pretty much playing the full game which would help immensely with our rotations.

Is there any hurt factor at all with Zaine's disposals?

And what would Lewis's TOG stats be if he played a like role to Zaine?

The biggest issue this week is who plays on Fritsch? He kicks a couple of goals every week and has kicked over 30 so far.

He is 188cm, but plays tall.

Defensive match ups:

Keath - McDonald
Young - Brown
Cordy - Fritsch (yuck)
Duryea - Pickett
Williams - ANB
Dale - Spargo

Also have to factor in Jackson and Gawn when they push forward. Young must play.

Officially playing Melbourne 7:25pm Saturday at the MCG.

I wouldn't say there's huge hurt factor but he occasionally bites off a bit, which is sometimes where it comes unstuck.

Not sure Lewi has the tank to play that many minutes and maintain his position in the team defence. If I could think of any reason why he's not being played in the role outside of his ball use then that would probably be it (whereas in different roles, others are preferred).

Ultimately I don't know, but without us being told directly I'm trying to figure out what it could be other than just pointing to coaching biases against Lewi.

In the 1 game Lewis Young played exclusively as a defender (vs Brisbane in Ballarat) he had a TOG of 97%.

I think the two bolded would flip. ANB plays higher up, and we prefer Dale there. Spargo is closer to home, so Williams and Doc will both get him at stages.

I think he will be too good for Cordy

I think he will be too good for Cordy

So do I, hence the 'yuck'

Come to think of it, I don't think it will be the match up. Young probably won't come in. Particularly if its wet. We'll back Keath and Cordy to take TMac and Brown, and the likes of Williams and maybe Doc will spend time on Fritsch. We still have Ed Richards to play in defence also.

I'm going to assume (hope) that Crozier gets left out.
