Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne
I would be more surprised if Schache was in the backline than I was when it seemed the building I was in this morning was about to collapse.
And even more so if Cordy was forward.

True
…except he started back before Keath pinged his hammy that night

To back your thoughts up….Schache has a good tank - maybe he floats around ground to counter Jackson & Gawn’s aerial threat and can also play forward and back to help out. Bont’s been great helping in backline during the 3 finals thus far too.

Maybe we don’t rate Brown or Jackson who will have significant reach over Cordy. Or speed. Or positioning. If only we had Gardner available.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne
We're not winning or losing based on Cordy or Gardner. The game will be won and lost in the middle.
I really feel for Gardner. It would be a bitter pill to swallow. He's improved incrementally every season he has been with us, and that's all you can do.

If we win we’re winning this in the middle with intensity around the ground

He hasn’t needed to. But I think he might be still capable of playing a role forward at times if needed. Finals are a different beast. I’m as bemused by this selection as other woofers - trying to put my Bevo genius hat on!! Having watched replay of PF Cordy was very good and his pressure and possibly his agility was at 2016 levels.

Cordy has kicked 2 goals in 5 years. Not even Bevo is that crazy to pull a move like that (forward).

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne
No tricks.
The MC just likes Cordy, Wood, Keath, Dale, Duryea and Williams as their core back six in this game.
I'm not sure if I do as well, but I'm not sure if I don't.

Maybe the news has been released early with both Gardy's and the club's blessing. Take away from any distraction closer to game time.

There are going to be heartbreaks and probably one more to come if Cody is selected (or not).

I heard it reported last week that Cody was already told he'd be playing.

Then who comes out and who is medical sub? JJ, VDM or a surprise?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne
Id choose JJ over VDM for sure, VDM still struggles to run out a game he is the perfect sub IMO.
JJ played his best game for the year last week, is a norm smith medalists and I wouldn't be surprised to see he and Bailey Dale swap in the second half if we are behind and chasing the game.
Cordy for Gardy is interesting, one things for sure Bevo has gotten it right most weeks with selection this year. Just a reminder to all we did beat Port by more then 70 points with Cordy and Gardy playing key defensive posts, who would of thought? Lets be honest Keath is the key here along with the collective back 6-7.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread - 2021 AFL Grand Final vs Melbourne
I mean given the point where we’re at, it’s hard to dispute Bevo and the MC. So I’ll back it. I don’t agree with it. But I have to back it as they got us to a grand final.
There’s got to be a matchup advantage they see somewhere as they didn’t drop Gardner for Cordy for the lions game.
