Always Right Match Committee Round 23 v Hawthorn at UTas Stadium on Sunday

[Grantysghost]

Bevo commented on that, basically saying with key forwards you just don't know when they'll get their timing/ form back. They thought it could have been last week but they opted to rest him, and now hope it's this week.

He is certainly being picked on potential not form.

I think I'm ok with that considering it's a final in August.

Comparisons to Bruce 2020 are unfair he's in good shape just hasn't got his timing yet.

How can we have Steph Martin and Josh Bruce in the same team? It wont work

The comparison with 2020 are more around how Bruce was being picked despite being in very poor form.
I think he was managed not dropped that year as well.

I don't think we have any other option but to play him this week because we appear to be very reluctant to select Schache despite a BOG at Footscray.

But BAD told me he was fat in 2020.

Why oh why McComb instead of Maclean on extended bench? Hope West is not dropped.

What are woofers guesses on who the 4 from interchange that will play? I’m hoping Duryea, Hunter, West and Smith, especially if wet weather. Guessing O’Brien is backup if one of our defenders is injured.

Some good ins and a predictable out.
Hawks have gone very small in their forward line and maybe Lynch might have to play forward.

They could be a genuine challenge for us.

I'd love to see McLean in but he hasn't played the last two weeks as a sub and with the VFL bye so sadly I think he's missed his chance for this year

[Happy Days]

Even having McComb on the emergencies is absolute spew. As always if he’s selected I won’t be watching, the Carlton game is better anyway.

I really do admire your principles.

Williams will be unlucky to miss.

I like your bench but swap Williams for Smith.
