Always Right - Match Committee Thread RD 7 vs Essendon

[Happy Days]

Taking away the emotions is Wallis deserving of a spot?

Understand we have some injuries in the area he plays, but his performances have been seriously underwhelming this year.

At the moment, kind of?

I’m the biggest (on field only of course) Wallis hater alive but man there is just so few players available even close to AFL standard right now. I’d be looking to play both of Wal and West this week.

It's ok

Haha gold.

Next in line who can play we really only have Wally, West and Khamis. Not sure anyone else is demanding a spot right now.

I think he has more footy smarts than others we are currently playing. I also think he has slowed a step or two in recent years. I would give him a run with role as a forward defender on Laverde or Shiel or Durham to negate their influence down back. If he also gets two goals, then its a job well done.

I'd like us to give Khamis a block of games starting this week.

Any reason why?

[Mantis]

Any reason why?

We need to see if he can actually play... no use letting him rot away at Footscray when the senior team is struggling and he's going ok.

[Danjul]

Any reason why?

I would suggest that it’s because he has kicked 6 goals in the last 2 weeks. From up to 50m. We could do with a good kicker on the forward line.

Who does he replace?

He's been played in a variety of positions at Footscray and I'd like to get an idea of what role he is likely to play in the seniors.
If it's forward (to kick goals) will he replace the likes of McNeil or someone like Cordy or is it to help sure up a back line?

He's done what he can to deserve his chance, just interested to hear what role we think he might play.

Last three weeks he has played half a game in forward line (v Richmond) and the following two weeks in forward line with stints in the ruck. I think this is where he needs to play - third tall in forward line and Schache stays in backline. However, does that mean Cordy is then dropped.

I would think if he was to come into the forward/relief ruck role one of Cordy/Schache/Jamarra would need to make way.

McNeil has had a few weeks for little return on the scoreboard. Nothing lost if Khamis has a couple of weeks.

Just having a quick look, Bont, Naughton, JUH, potentially Schache and now Khamis up forward could be be 5 left foot kicks and one of the tallest forward line we may have ever selected.
Weightman will be the odd man out

He's been best on ground from my point of view.

He lifts everyone's spirits just being out there.
