Round #2 Match Committee

[Go_Dogs]

In: Lake (if fit), Addison, Minson, Wallis

Out: Markovic (if Lake fit), Wood (inj), DJ (inj?), Jones

If DJ isn't injured might consider dropping someone else.

Wallis to play as a defensive midfielder. I'd have a lot more confidence with him sticking to the task than some others at the moment.

[Bulldog Joe]

In: Minson, Lake, Wallis

Out: Jones, Stack, Wood

Don't think we should waste Sherman as the sub again; unique idea to use it in conjunction with a burst player, but realistically its made for a second ruck.

Disagree on that strategy. We need 2 rucks available FROM THE START.

Sherman did fail to have an impact but the whole team were going poorly when he was subbed on.

[BulldogBelle]

I guess its not worth trying to select the team that the Match Committee (MC) would pick. They wouldn't know how to pick their nose, let alone an AFL side. So I'll have a go at the side that I would like.

First here is the pecking order of those innies and outies.

Auto Choices
Boyd, Matthew
Cooney, Adam
Cross, Daniel
Giansiracusa, Daniel
Gilbee, Lindsay (form to be monitored closely)
Grant, Jarrad
Griffen, Ryan
Hall, Barry
Hargrave, Ryan (auto inclusion when fit)
Higgins, Shaun
Hudson, Ben
Lake, Brian (auto inclusion when fit)
Liberatore, Thomas
Morris, Dale
Murphy, Robert
Picken, Liam
Ward, Callan
Williams, Tom L.
Wood, Easton

Borderliners and those who show promise

1. Roughead, Jordan can improve. You must look towards the finals and play those players now. Minson has now attained the best form that he is capable of. Minson is too stupid, and too likely to do something that will lose us a game rather than win us one.

2. Hill, Josh, seems like he can play back. Has some nice skills.

3. Wallis, Mitchell, the more games that you can get for him the better he will get.

4. Jones, Liam, no criticisms for his entry into the side just now, was a bit of a risk and I would have had him in the reserves, but you have to take risks every now and again otherwise you get nowhere. He has the potential, he is on the cusp of a breakout.

5. Reid, Sam, could develop into a permanent.

6. Skinner, Zephaniah, has special skills.

7. Schofield, Jayden, can run and compete.

8. Veszpremi, Patrick, can run and compete.
9. Tutt, Jason, can run and compete.
10. Cordy, Ayce, needs to show us something so we can move him up the list.
11. Markovic, Lukas, can run and compete.
12. Minson, William, risky due to possibility of doing something stupid. I don't care if he is presently doing better than Roughead, Roughead will be better when the time counts,

Need to show more
1. Howard, Christian
2. Hill, Tom

Hacks to be used when nobody else is available
1. Djerrkura, Nathan
2. Moles, Brodie
3. Sherman, Justin
4. Addison, Dylan

Dismiss these guys and save effort and expense and lost opportunities for others.
1. Hooper, Andrew
2. Stack, Brennan
3. Mulligan, James

We need to restructure the team somewhat to quicken up the midfield and make the backline more secure and to lessen the disruption caused by using only one ruck. Done in an instant by putting Cross to the back pocket and including Roughead. If during the match the situation arises that Cross can't kick the ball clear, he just employs the Collingwood around-the-boundary-and-oops-out-of-bounds method.

I would persist with Jones as he seems to be having a real go. Ward needs to go to half back flank.

Outs:
Stack, best he is ever going to be is a C grader, so why persist with all of the money and resources as we will at best just get another Addison.
Wood, Injured.
Sherman, I have not seen any form from him, also by the Sydney fans he is said to be a stupid guy, so that's a risk.
Djerrkura, might be injured.

Ins.
Roughead, relief ruck and relief key forward, on the bench
Wallis, relief centre
Skinner, can play forward and about the middle.
Vezpremi, for Djerrkura

Bring in Lake for Markovic if possible.

Out: Djerkerra, Wood (both inj), Jones, Boyd, Giansiracusa
In: Wallis, Addison, Minson, Skinner, Veszpremi

Where was our Captain today?

You drop two of the leaders after round 1? Great move. Your 'where was our skipper'
question implies you want to see leadership - if you want them to show it, you have to pick them first!

Out: Djerkerra, Wood (both inj), Jones, Boyd, Giansiracusa
In: Wallis, Addison, Minson, Skinner, Veszpremi

Where was our Captain today?

We should have made the statement last year, instead we went in completely the opposite way and made him captain. We've made our bed, now we have to lie in it.

The bold bit is designed to elicit a laugh, right?

Sherman, I have not seen any form from him, also by the Sydney fans he is said to be a stupid guy, so that's a risk.

And the Sydney fans are relevant because ???

I reckon that SquirrelGrip made a fair comment there. I never saw either Boyd or Gia going around trying to gee up the boys.

Should be Brisbane fans, my error there.

Tell me what you have seen in him then? I repeat that I have seen nothing at all and I have not seen anybody who has the courage to give me a favourable opinion.

[the banker]

Out Stack, Wood (inj) DJ (inj) Markovic

IN Addison, Roughead, Vespa, Lake

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Don't stress Greystache, he'll come good, It was just round one and I'm sure things will improve now and he Boyd will do us proud come the business end f the year.

A concern more for me is how the club can turn this game into a positive and keep the membership drive in full throttle.

Round one of 22...... Yes a poor start but we don't have our best side and the Don's had a heap to play for.

[LostDoggy]

Outs:
Wood (injured)
Markovic

Ins:
Lake
Addison

[Before I Die]

Don't stress Greystache, he'll come good, It was just round one and I'm sure things will improve now and he Boyd will do us proud come the business end f the year.

I have no doubt that Boyd would follow instructions to the absolute letter. So this begs the question; "What are the instructions he is receiving"?

[Dazza]

Did Willi play this weekend? If so how did Vezspremi and Wallis go?

[LostDoggy]

Did Willi play this weekend? If so how did Vezspremi and Wallis go?

Willi played intra club - Wallis got a corky not sure if he will be available. Conditions weren't great @ Whitten Oval.. Lake was really good He should be back in this week.

[G-Mo77]

I'm surprised to see so many want Stack dropped. I thought he did OK and with Wood out for a looooong time he'll be needed off the half back.

Obviously Wood will be out. Such a shame.

Markovic battled hard but just didn't look up to it.

Do we drop someone because of the terrible result as well?

Anyway my 2 at this stage.

Out: Wood, Markovic
In: Addison, Lake
