Always Right Match Committee Round 11 v Suns

[azabob]

Wouldn't be surprised to see us bring Vandermeer in and move Scott to HB.

What I took from the presser is if Vandermeer plays it is on the HB flank.

Half me wants this to happen and watch jeemaks head explode. Naughton, Libba and VDM all doing silly little things... it Darwin's humidity of all places.

In fact, jee, want to watch the game at the pub?

[Mofra]

It's Bevo. I'm half expecting Josh Bruce to get named

That would be bad IMO. Scott has kicked more goals in the last 3 weeks than Vanders has in the last 3 years (don't fact check me on that it sounds good so I said it!)

I'll hit you up with facts not for the last 3 weeks but for the last 3 years LVM 19 goals. AS 25 goals.

Damn You!

Looking at things properly Scott kicked 6 goals in the last 3 weeks and Vanders kicked 4 in 2022 and 6 in 21. So while an exaggeration I feel the spirit of my statement holds true.

[Rocco Jones]

Does Cleary for JJ deprive us for pace too much? I think he is the next best but does someone else fit the side better?

I'd go
In: Cleary, VDM/McNeil (other one as sub)
Out: JJ, JOD

I wouldn't be playing LVM forward of the ball again if he can't make it across the HB then we should look to use his list spot for someone else.

I think Cleary is competing for a spot with the likes of Williams, Dale, and Richards and not a JJ,Daniel type.

I meant Cleary in can we then replace JJ down the chain? And can we be too fixated on finding a similar type when they really aren’t up to?

I don’t think we will see Daniel based at HBF. A bit of an easy target for the opposition. I’ve really liked his flexibility. I think good coaches/structures maximise their players strengths and hide their weaknesses. Feel we are doing that with Daniel lately.

I don't follow this at all. In what way are JJ and Daniel similar that Dale and Richards are not (nevermind Williams being on the wing)?

Funnily this whole sentence is JJ in a nutshell when he first was moved from the HB line.

I agree Clearly should be the natural JJ replacement

[westbulldog]

Looking at the VFL stats VDM has done nothing to warrant selection - 10 possessions in each of his last 2 VFL games whilst Cleary has had 20 and 24. Cleary or Crozier before VDM imo.

I don't think JJ was being hidden as much as we needed someone with some zip up front.

The one thing that VDM has that is transferrable from the twos to the ones versus the others is pace. Possession are great but whether they translate or otherwise is a different story.

[robb]

Crozier and Cleary for JJ and McNeil. Expect crozier to be the sub
