Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1

[Rocco Jones]

I’m guessing
Schache, Roarke, Wood, JJ
Medi-Sub: Hannan

[SonofScray]

Deflating and a little mystified.

I am happy for West to come in at this point and see if he can offer us a different look at things. Feels like the Hooper inclusion Eade pulled for that Sydney final back in the day.

Just announce his retirement and be done with it…he will never play again.

[josie]

Int (ext): Josh Schache, Anthony Scott, Jason Johannisen, Roarke Smith, Ryan Gardner, Rhylee West, Mitch Hannan, Easton Wood

I will predict:

Schache, JJ, Smith and Hannan medical Wood

I’m hoping Schache, Smith, West and Gardner. With Scott or Hannan or JJ as sub. I love Woody but his last few weeks have been atrocious & he looks close to the end to me. Perhaps West &/or Smith in tagging roles?

If it’s wet I can understand them not going for Sweet and if Martin is not ready so be it. Go Dogs!!

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Quite annoyed really. Bevo. I hope you know what your doing. How JUH can’t get in is truely amazing

[Nuggety Back Pocket]

I would have preferred Wallis and Lipinski to West and Scott. Gardner if fit is important to our defence with his extra height. For us to win it will require dominant games from English Naughton Bont Libba Dunkley and Treloar as keys to our success.
Using Roarke Smith on either Merrett or Parish as a tagger could also be integral towards winning.

How is that fwd line going to kick a winning score ?
We will be lucky to kick 9 goals

He's clearly said JUH can't run out the required minutes, and you can't have that at this time of year.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Don’t matter if your up by 6 goals and broken them by 3/4 time. Anyway I’m still thinking he would be able to contribute across 4 quarters and be a match winner

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Not yet he may be useful in the granny v Gawn.

[Mantis]

He's clearly said JUH can't run out the required minutes, and you can't have that at this time of year.

But could he have 2 or 3 important moments that help us get over the line?

[whythelongface]

Expect Schache and Gardner to play. Think we will rotate Schache and Young between defence and ruck. Gardner will provide support in defence. This will allow Schache/ Young to rest and also drift forward at stages.

I’d prefer to play someone that can generate multiple chances and keep a defender occupied over someone who can run out a game yet have minimal impact.

Agreed. One true forward. Cody Weightman. No Marra no Schache the MC is taking the piss. Our forward line is filled in with Bailey Smith and Libba. It's a joke.
