Fair enough on Cleary, but McComb has zero hardness. A number of times on Saturday he wouldn't go in and just stood back.

I don't think we can both Cleary and Crozier in the back line and Crozier is the preference at the moment but we might give it a whirl

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions
I get the reactions and the anger - but after 200 extremely consistent games, I think it would be fair to say that Macrae has some runs on the board. And I absolutely get that the defensive side of Jack's game is not where it needs to be - but are we really honestly as supporters not going to have faith in him to respond after a poor game?
I'm as angry as anyone about how we are playing, but dropping Macrae or re-fashioning him into a defender don't make us a better team.
Probably need to understand where the injured players are at before commenting in much detail. But structurally, I don't see how we could play Keath this week - we never used to play 3 key talls down back...he wasn't the worst the other night, but makes the least sense for the team. I also don't think playing Darcy is doing him or us any favors at the minute.

I'd be ok dropping Keath for Cleary. In fact that was one of my changes.
More of an In Bruges guy?

O'Brien has missed a bit too much, needs to play at Footscray.
If any of the others are ready they should pressure the MC.

Gut feel, Treloar will play. Lobb 50/50

I'm less confident about Lobb but will know more tomorrow. If Treloar says he is right it would be hard to ignore that.

They did say in the video "He has a history of soft tissue injuries" That is likely them saying they'll be cautious.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions
Is anyone seriously suggesting we play Arthur Jones for his first game on a Thursday night having not played for (I think) 4x weeks?
That would be a prayer, not a selection. You really think getting in a first gamer is the solution?? It just reminds me of Homer getting the job of Head of Sanitation (or whatever it was) in Springfield - "some-one else, some-one else....". "Hey - I'm 'Someone Else'".
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

I think it would be hard to say no if Treloar says he is good to go. He really knows if he is right or not.

He shouldn't play but had he been right for round one he might have been the sub or in the best 22.
I'd like to see him play with Footscray.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions
Who makes way for Gardner? Does Bruce play forward, does Keath get omitted and what to do with Sam Darcy?
