Always Right Match Committee Round 2 vs Gold Coast Suns

[Rocket Science]

Fancy earning three All-Australian blazers then being left out of a squad that includes Oskar Baker.

If we conflate this with him being dumped from the leadership group it's going to be weird AF seeing Jacko in different colours next year.

After one game, man youre a hard man bad.

No after the last season and one game

[Grantysghost]

No after the last season and one game

Ha. Touche

[Grantysghost]

GG you are the smartest person I know and I don?t even know you

Now im questioning your intelligence! Ha.

I'm taking a deep breath, and a leaf out of yhf's book and saying "serenity now". That works right?

When Dunkley left it's almost like we out smarted ourselves and decided to go with a rusted on cba group of Bont, Libba, Treloar, English. Our high rotations were a strength i thought.

You would think with no Dunkley, Macrae would be more important but it went the other way.

Did this happen to coincide with Lade's arrival?

Yes, it did.

A quick question about Jacko from a fanboi, did any of the training reports suggest he came back looking like he was in ripping nick and hungry? Was he training the house down?

What about Daniel?

[doggies ftw]

Bevo is a ****ing idiot, cant stand this ****. Let?s be honest the reason he?s not playing Macrae is because he wants to outsmart the media and prove a point. He?s genuinely cooked

I?m done until hes sacked, hopefully shouldn?t be long. That team selection is absolutely inexcusable

[angelopetraglia]

So in season 2021. We made the Grand Final. A few weeks prior to the season ending we were cemented in the top four and challenging for top spot.

Jack Macrae Season #2021. Stats for entire AFL.

Most possesions
Most handballs
Third most clearances (Top Libba)
Third most free kicks for
Fourth highest contested possesions (Libba five)
Most uncontested possesions
Second most goal assists (Bont fourth)

Why did he lose his spot in the midfield?

That's one way of looking at it but I believe we've seen enough last year to accept that Macrae is either a full time midfielder with a heap of CBA's or he is VFL player. He wasn't able to prove last season that he was capable of filling other roles for us.
With Harmes missing but only contributing 4 CBA's last week was Macrae really the right player to replace him this week?
For some reason, perhaps it's Lade, we appear to be set with how we want to run the midfield rotations and Macrae will come into stronger contention if that approach changes.

I get the angst with the way the club and players perform but is it really all on Bevo?

Matthias Cormann sums up how his gut looked when he came back for preseason in 2022:

[bornadog]

Bevo press conference tomorrow 8:30 - we will hear what he says about Macrae.

[westbulldog]

The selection idiocy continues, Macrae is not good enough whilst Vandermeer, McNeill and Baker's names appear in the team list for Sunday.

[jeemak]

Bevo press conference tomorrow 8:30 - we will hear what he says about Macrae.

I'm sure that'll make people happy, whatever is said.

Like every press conference he'll probably just answer the question directly and tell everyone the exact reasoning for the continued omission and people won't believe it.

[westbulldog]

And we can't wait to hear his exact reasoning for the continued selection of McNeill and Vandermeer.
