The "bad kicking or Carlton win" theory overlooks Duryea 0-1 (sitter), Naughton 1-3, Ugle-Hagen 1-2, Scott
3-1 (sitter missed from what, 15m out ?)
Anyway, fwiw I would have Cleary in and Duryea out.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Adelaide
Sorry that was about the Werribee Tigers and no one in the VFL putting their hand up.
If the Tigers had kicked straight the game would have been over a lot earlier.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Adelaide
This is a massive game for both clubs and Adelaide have been one of the more surprising teams this season. They've been extracting the best out of their youngsters and then players at the other end of their football journey like Taylor Walker are proving they still have a lot to offer.
I don't see us making any changes unless Treloar is available and I'll be hoping that Naughton, Lobb and Marra really make an impact for us this week.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Adelaide
The weather/conditions may impact who we play.
Current Ballarat Forecast for Saturday
Low 4c Max 12c
Partly cloudy. Very high chance of showers. Light winds becoming west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day.

Will rain limit the damage the crows can do? I haven't watched much of them but they like to move the ball very quickly don't they?

Not sure but they do have some impressive and strong midfielders and medium sized forwards we will need to contend with.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Adelaide
There's no way O'donnell should play, the conditions will be polar opposites for the need of a player of his type.
As much as it pangs me to say it, we need a mcomb or similar.
There is no way we should play treloar in these conditions either, its Hammy snapping territory.

This will be a big test.
Adelaide are a very capable team.

McComb might be a big body but his lack of skill will probably be further exposed. My expectation is worse conditions for handling the ball will offset any 'leveling' effect of the rain on kicking skills. That said I'm not sure we have anyone sitting in the reserves that does have the skills to thrive in the wet (maybe Cleary?) so I'd maybe chuck McNeil in for his pressure.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 10 v Adelaide
This will be what our fourth game this year in the wet? And do we ever play a home game at Marvel again?
I’d definitely be bringing in McNeil for JOD and maybe Cleary or Crozier for Keath or Gardner.

That's handy. Along with Billy Frampton not being on their list anymore to take a million intercept marks like in the corresponding game last year we should go in with some confidence, despite the Crows good form.

I think Khamis has some claims to replace O'Donell.

Nick Murray missed last week as well. He's probably been their best tall defender.
