If Stef is cooked (and he did get worked over by Nank), I'm happy with all these. Schache and JJ can't play next week and Cordy just has no AFL level traits.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Martin won the hitouts but was beaten around the ground.
I wouldn't be dropping him.

Naughton, Bruce & Schache were all flying for the same ball at times. They all seemed to stand 10 metres apart and our mids bombed in their general direction, so that at least one if not 2 or 3 can contest for the mark. I didn't see a lot of synergy and working together. Riewoldt was dummy leading, blocking, leading up the ground or to the other side and moving the ball quickly to Lynch once he marked it
Until we can mature our setup and delivery I don't think we lose much by reducing the number of tall forwards. Schache was uncompetitive so is first to go
Martin was a witches hat away from the ruck contest, he looks old and immobile. He did alright at centre bounces, throw ins and ball ups but was otherwise a liability. Sweet's not great around the ground either but was dominant in the ruck in his first game. English has been great as a forward and serviceable as a ruck this year but had a terrible game before he was concussed, I don't think we need or use the extra tall forward and I rate Sweet above English as a ruck
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Cordy maybe, but only if you bring in Lew Young. I think the kid needs to play and its either him or Cordy, but I don't believe Cordy deserves the criticism he is getting here.

It is an interesting point though, what AFL qualities does Zaine have? There isn’t anything he really excels at and with the deficiencies he has he is struggling to find a role.
What about that sweet, sweet left foot?!

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8 Vs Carlton 2021
Just on all the JJ comments, is it just me or does he look a little heavy? He looks too big up top to me he has definitely lost a yard of speed along with the confidence to use it.

He is just not a small forward.

Is his left foot that bad? I was frustrated when he kicked with his left when he could have used his right, but it isn't like his left leg is only there for balance...
I think his body language is bad and he gives the impression he is cooked when he's fine...
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

That's just him giving his opponent a false sense of security and then like a praying mantis he strikes....

Could JJ do a shutdown role on Saad? He definitely has the wheels to go with him.

I think he could, he might need to start modifying his game to command a spot. Ironically it wasn't that long ago he was a defender getting tagged by the opposition.

He should have tagged Houli who killed us on the rebound
