Always Right Match Committee Round Nine v Collingwood at Marvel

[Mantis]

Providing Keath plays and with Cleary debuting, I am not sure how we justify playing Cordy.

He's a forward these days isn't he? *inserts power chucking emoji*

Forward.

As a forward and relief ruck, where he has been playing. Obviously it is arguable whether he has been performing well enough in this role but it's not linked to Keath or Cleary.

Another 6 foot half back flanker? Anyone who watched Footscray got a feel on him? What are his strengths? TYIA.

Just looked him up, 190 is he competent in the air?

He has very little strength and is easily pushed out of the contest.

Perfect fit then. Will struggle at AFL level like much of our VFL team. Hope he does well but just don't see it happening.

He is 78kg

He is 78kg

Is he, well I'm totally getting him mixed up with Charlie Parker.

[Axe Man]

He is 78kg

That was likely when he was drafted, hopefully has put on a few kilos since then. Maybe you can go down to training and lift him up and give us an estimate?

Forward.

So we're already 1 short?



Surely Khamis/Naughton is enough.

We are going with the same setup as last week.

From Press Conf:

* Tim English won’t play for the Dogs this Friday night. Has missed most of the week with illness

Appears the flu was the driving factor for Bontempelli missing last week. A couple of others are impacted, Beveridge did play it down which makes me worried we are hit by the flu more than the club is letting on.

Based on Beveridge comments on Darcy I expect he will play forward in his first few games with stints in the ruck. Beveridge mentioned English (unprompted) when asked about Darcy - so maybe the plan is Darcy as our back up ruckman next year and beyond.

Darcy will play ruck in the future, in my opinion.

He's 207cm now that's a big lad. Gawn, English realm.

The definition of insanity is....

Hamstrung by the number of outs, but FMD!
