Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 v Carlton
Interesting. No one saw that coming.
I wonder if to tag Cripps is a thing?
Glad Marra has got up. Feel he could be a positive against the Blues under the lid.

Big bodied mid who has elite endurance, is 20yo and has a decent frame already, and who has shot up in height since he last played - I get it as a horses for courses. Wonder if he will go straight to Cripps like Vanilla Dunks did with great success last week.
Big body in terms of bean stalkish? Can't throw this kid to the wolves why does Bevo hate us?

O?Donnell may well be the only player we have in the VFL with the physical attributes, size and endurance, necessary to run with Cripps.
Lol he'll blow up late in the 2nd.
Is this the weirdest selection under Bevo? I think it is.

Duryea out surely, SOS as a hbf.

Fair to say I forgot about him haha

James is stunned. His Dad is stunned. The Woof community is stunned. Bevo works in mysterious ways.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 v Carlton
Wow.
I was pleased by what I had heard about JOD, but this is the most left field selection I've ever seen.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 v Carlton
I think it says more about Mclean,Mcomb,West,Mcsteal,Hannan and co to be honest. I'm really enjoying the turn around particularly defensively but there is no doubt the backend of our list needs a decent clean out, it was obvious watching the VFL last week.

I am just wondering where he plays? We have Jones (199cm), Keath (197), Gardner (197), and now JOD at 197 in the side, plus our three forward talls.

I think it's more about mobility rather than height. From what I've seen, he moves just as well as Doc, if not better. I might be wrong as I have only seen him on TV. Bont is 192cm and moves alright. I think JOD more medium/mobile tall in role I think. Caleb playing mid/fwd.

And Tim at 208 cm.
Is this Bevo attempting to get in the record books for fielding the tallest team in history. Jordon Sweet must be peeved.
