Always Right Match Committee Round 14 v North Melbourne

[Rocco Jones]

In: Baker, TOB, Cleary
Out: Arty, Bruce, JOD
Sub: Arty

Agree with Mantis about Bruce being out due to North lack of monster talls and form. Easier sell to him confidence wise that it's a tactical omission.

Nah, lets not change anything ruckwise even though English has been destroyed at centre clearances in the last 3 games which btw we have all lost. The mantra of lets not change a losing game is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. We should be introducing accountability and discipline into this team as in "if you don't perform you are out".

We split centre clearances 14-14 against Port, lost them 11-10 against the Cats and won them 13-9 against the Suns.

Port kicked 4 goals from centre clearances, more than the winning margin.

North are not going to be easy beats. They're playing with good spirit.

Thomas back good for them good player.

My point remains we LOST all three games and English was beaten each time.

Yeah, they're going to win a match soon, they've been so close. It's a danger game, we almost never put teams away and almost always give an opposition a good run of goals. We give these guys a sniff it could be a similar result to the Hawks Vs Lions.

[EasternWest]

We'll win this game.

There I was thinking English was almost BOG against Geelong?

Maybe our best but Stewart was easily BOG

[Mantis]

Maybe our best but Stewart was easily BOG

Tim received 8 coaches votes, Stewart got 10… In my mind that means Tim was almost BOG.

Yes English was exceptional around the ground v Geelong but we still marginally lost the hit outs and Stanley didn't play. If people want to continue with the same old same old after losing 3 in a row then you are welcome to that view. We could be sitting 3rd and now have Geelong and GCS on our heels. Also the "kick it to Stewart" was a tactical coaching masterpiece" (not).

A lot of the clearences we won and have won also aren't clean centre clearences. Suns got 4 or 5 goals from their direct clearences as did Port due to the fact that their mids had the ball hit down their throat. This is where clearences if not to advantage are over rated. Part of the reason I would like to Sweet play as he is considered one of the best tap ruckman going around. Would be nice to get some clear air in the middle.

Exactly. I certainly wouldn’t be resting any players. It’s a bye the week after.

Can you please point me towards an article or opinion piece that states that Sweet is one of the best tap ruckman in the AFL?
