Always Right Match Committee Round 19 V Melbourne At Marvel On Saturday Night

[azabob]

In Naughton, Hunter
Out Sweet, McNeil

Would consider Schache in for Keath.

Who is your 2nd ruck to give English a chop out?

[Happy Days]

I wouldn't be dropping Sweet. That was as dominant as we've been at clearances all year, no need to mess with that mix.

As much as I love the guy and his presence on the playing group if Bruce is only giving defenders that little to think about at the moment then May and Lever will have a field day on him. Don't know if we can afford to get run back into him in a game that's so important.

[Bulldog Joe]

Not sure why there are calls for Hannan out. Feel that he really contributed.
My changes
In Naughton, Schache, Hunter
Out Sweet, McNeill and Williams

[GVGjr]

This is what I think they'll do

In Schache, McLean/Hunter and Naughton
Out Sweet, McNeil and Garcia. All of these outs are unlucky.

[azabob]

It will be interesting to see what changes are made.

Naughton, Hunter and Schache should be available and potentially Scott.

When in form Naughton and Hunter are best 22, Scott and Schache on the cusp.

If Wilkie tore us a new one with his intercept marks what on earth will May do?

Do we play Bruce who really struggled or do we back him in? We surely can’t drop Marra after he hit the scoreboard?

Do we back Sweet to nullify Gawn in the ruck and get destroyed around the ground or do we have English get destroyed in the ruck and hopefully hurt Gawn around the ground? Interestingly Sweet had more pressure acts than English last night.

Playing two ruckman likely means we can’t play all Naughton, Bruce and Marra.

Can Scott or Hunter come back in and play a role on Brayshaw? Or do we back in Williams whose confidence levels are well down.

I think Khamis stays in ahead or Hannan but the question is who can pick up Fritsch? Does this bring Clearly into the selection frame?

[Bullies]

Tempted to drop Cody, he needs to go back to basics has had a very ordinary year.

Seriously. No comment.

[Bullies]

Do we stick with the two ruckman again? Stats might say no but it might have helped the midfielders.

Our clearences are so much cleaner when Sweet is in the ruck. He may not get a lot of it around the ground himself but the service he gives the mids is first class and makes up for it.

[GVGjr]

Tempted to drop Cody, he needs to go back to basics has had a very ordinary year.

He isn't playing well but I can't see him being dropped. He's kicked 2 bags of 5 this year and while I'd like to see him get a few more possessions each game he does a fair bit of defensive work as well. I think he's earning his spot.

Agree with this. I said during the week I wouldn't pick Bruce as he appeared to be lumbering the week prior in the 2's. He kicked 4 but played on no one as the Saints had no defenders. He played like it last night. I think he'll be better next year with a full pre season.

[Hotdog60]

I'm all for the Sweet and English combo and I would instruct Sweet to blanket May and make sure he doesn't mark it when he is forward he's a big body and he doesn't need to mark it just make sure May doesn't.

[Grantysghost]

Tempted to drop Cody, he needs to go back to basics has had a very ordinary year.

He's still working super hard off the ball it's just not clicking possession wise.
West has almost become our best small forward.
I thought he was struggling with his elbow but he looked good last night.

Ordinary year is a misrepresentation I think but respect your view.

[DOG GOD]

Definitely the Sweet/English combo, especially as English is nowhere near his best (pre concussion).

I’ve got a feeling Hannan has been earmarked to take Fritsch (god help us)

No way Marra can be dropped.

What happens next week with selection, I’m not sure, but to be any chance in hell, our mids have to beat theirs and 2 rucks is our best chance.

[Bulldog4life]

I like Sweet in the ruck but unfortunately he has no idea at all of playing in the forward line. When Bont took that pack mark in the last Sweety was going up with one hand. I even prefer him around the ground than in the forward line and that's saying something. He's big enough to jag a mark or two but at this stage hasn't got a clue.

[Bullies]

I think Bruce needs to get his fitness and confidence up in the 2's. We can't afford to carry him in the next couple of weeks. Our kicking was ordinary last night which is why we need Scott of the wing. Hunter has been ordinary since his return so he can get some confidence in the 2's as well.

In : Naughton, Scott

Out : Bruce, McNeill

[kruder]

I call bullshit on this comment.

All good. I just have higher expectations of him he is an elite talent last year I thought he was sensational. He is better than just a good pressure forward at the moment he is no where near it.

Nothing wrong with a week in the VFL, it has worked for Macrae it can work for him.

I'm expecting Sweet to be dropped If Naughty is ready to return.
