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

[hujsh]

Please tell me this does not mean McComb will be left on the list for next year. I honestly thought he was never to be seen again once we have had our full list back.

Nah he's played 13 games which considering he didn't play til round 6 means he has been a regular fixture in the team. If anything there's a non-zero chance he gets upgraded from rookie status to the main list (which hurts me to write)

VDM better not be infront of West. Now that would be an injustice.

Schache’s game against Adelaide was good. Played back and forward. Kicked as many goals as Naughton. Team highest number of marks. Dropped from the 22.

Then back for 4 games. Played well, got some goals. Team highest number of marks, equal highest and third highest.

Hasn’t looked soft in either the AFL or VFL in the second half of the season.

Hard to drop after that, thank god for Covid protocols.

I can't recall where I have called for Martin to remain (or Bruce to return) so not sure why you are addressing this to me? I simply don't think throwing Darcy forward at this stage is a good move.

Nope certainly wasn't addressed at you I just leveraged off your post. It was used as an example to highlight just how bat crazy our MC is. Anything and everything is on the table.

I don't think Darcy forward is the go either, but I also didn't think bringing in Martin was a good idea either, but what do I know!

I'd really love to know WTF Beveirdge sees in McComb.

Best case scenario for me is that this is one of his 12-month love childs that ends up in the wilderness a short time after.

He simply shouldn't be on an AFL list.

Yeah but we are stuck with them on the list for 12-48 months!!

My guess is that Bevo sees him as inside midfield depth. We don't have a heap of true inside types, players that will burrow in with a couple hanging off them and feed out, it's really just McLean at VFL level at the moment. I'd say the pecking order is Libba - Bont - Dunks - West - McComb - McLean. Perhaps with Bont running around injured and West playing well up forward Bevo sees McComb as the insurance policy, just spitballing.

Agree. He regularly gets 30 plus disposals in the VFL, so hard to ignore. If his skill level was better, he would be ok.

He is a mature body on base salary, I'm comfortable with him. His kicking is not good but he can get the ball out while an opponent is hanging off him so can be useful.

Seriously would rather play one short on the list. Heis awful and wont improve as he is 28 next season.

they don't hang off him they let him get the ball as they know he will butcher it.

Mature body kind of implies he has a big body and uses it. He has the former, he doesn't use it.

At 27-28, there are far better options.

Final team

Out: McNeil, West and Martin

In: Bruce, R Smith and Doc

Surprised West out

[dog town]

West out this week, saw that coming a mile away. Three tall forwards plus Weightman/West simply hasn’t been working. We probably need to find a way to get him some midfield time in 2023.
