Always Right Match Committee Round 2 vs Gold Coast Suns

[The Doctor]

In/Out

Darcy for Lobb
Macrae for McNeill
Keath for Khamis
Daniel for Vandermeer
Poulter for Willams
Garcia for Harmes

Gags and Sanders get another go. Treloar on notice.

I know it wont happen. Bevo will drop Bont before he drops Harmes.

Doc where do you play Naughton? Our forward can’t function with Marra, Naughton and Lobb / Darcy.

[mighty_west]

VDM and McNeil just don't do enough for mine, obviously Naughton won't be dropped, but he deserves to be, needed to get higher up the ground more often. English battled hard but looked out of it after copping that hit and Lobb just not enough, Darcy is really knocking the door down and deserves a spot, question is how many changes is too many?

Really wanted Harmes to put a hard tag on Oliver, he teams up well with Petracca and both were cutting us up (seen that before) when Gawn took ownership of Timmy, how to get Ben Brown back in form, play Buku on him, too tall and too smart for Buku.

In the gun : VDM, McNeil, Lobb, Khamis, Harmes.

With JOD out for 12 days, Buku lucky to go again next week given the Suns have a smaller forward line, he should get a better match up.

Out : VDM, McNeil, Lobb, Harmes
In : MacRae, Garcia, Darcy, Daniel

[MrMahatma]

Out: Khamis, McNeil, VDM, Lobb
In: Darcy, JOD, Jacko, Daniel

[GVGjr]

Out: Khamis, McNeil, VDM, Lobb
In: Darcy, JOD, Jacko, Daniel

I think you will find that JOD misses 2 or 3 weeks with the concussion he copped yesterday.

[The Doctor]

Bevo and the MC have to make a statement don't they? No excuses. Greatest prep ever etc. They threw in the towel and many played poorly. Quite a few put their hands up at WO on Saturday.

Make a statement Dogs. This is not good enough.

[angelopetraglia]

Bevo sounded extremley dissapointed at a few players who had good summers and went past players like Caleb. It will be interesting to see if they get a second chance or not.

I just wonder if we would ever throw the magnets around in the first week or two of the season. A few of the Footscray boys performed well so it will be interesting to see if we promote them.

[DOG GOD]

No change

[angelopetraglia]

On today's performance you easily make a case to drop.

Lobb. Seven touches. Dropped some marks.
Buku Looked undersized against Brown. Made some errors.
VDM Didn't do enough and went missing in a number of big moments.
Harmes 11 touches. Didn't have any real impact.
McNeil 14 touches. 7 clangers. No more needs to be said.

I can't see Bevo making five changes. McNeil can't play. Impossible. So he is out. I can see him perserving with Buku and Harmes. Potentially Lobb and VDM could go too.

[Grantysghost]

Out : Harmes, McNeil
In : Macrae, Baker

Baker sub.

Buku we have to see if he can develop. I wasn't impressed however worth persevering.

Lobb, he was shit but wont be dropped so early.

Williams for Poulter i'd consider he really shits we with his laconic attitude but i think we will play him as we always do.

Scary part is there's not a lot in reserve that will impact. Darcy of course.

[lemmon]

Out: McNeill, Laith, Coffield
In: Macrae, Poulter, Keath

Gallagher as sub with Caleb into the 22.

We were too small down back and Keath looks like the next man in.

Laith and McNeil didn't bring any tackling pressure, so Harmes to move into that forward role and Macrae into the midfield. Caleb to play the high half-forward role that McNeill was today.

[westbulldog]

Out (permanently) O'Neill, Vandermeer
In Macrae, Poulter ?

Keath might be the last tall standing in terms of defenders with Gardner injured and JOD concussed.

Brown is 11 cm taller and 18 kg heavier than Khamis. Add in perfect delivery and open forward structure putting them 1 on 1, I thought Khamis did ok. I was expecting a lot worse. Last year Brown got twice as many goals.
