Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
Surprised JT dropped like a lot of others here, guess they see LeYoung as a better option....

Nah mate, i really dont think JT is suited for a job on Fogarty.
Maybe if Jenkins was playing perhaps he'd have a better role.

We pretty much ignored Lewy Young all season and after one game have now effectively confirmed he is in our best 22
You would have to think that if English was available last week Trengove would have been dropped a week earlier.
It seems like he might have been hanging on by a thread for a few weeks

English was available though up until the morning of the game.
Young only got the call up 7am game day.
Or you don’t believe that?
More of an In Bruges guy?

Except he wasn't and Lewy only came in because English took ill. From what I heard Young wasn't even in Sydney and had to fly up.
What Lewy Young did was perform superbly to hold his spot.

I don't quite believe he got sick the day before but it's a good point you have raised

Fair enough, I'm struggling with the decision but overall team first of course. Just thinking match ups are one thing, leadership, strength (only guy that took on Robinson with that hit on dunks), presence they are all things JT brings to the table. Have to back the MC that have got us here but it's bold this late. I think Jackson was dropped before Power finals series 2017 that went well.

Pretty much. Trengove wasn’t hanging on by a thread. It seems Young came in, proved himself and because Adelaide’s match ups suit Young better he was chosen.

I love ya Doc but we surely aren't comparing:
Key backs: Barrass/McGovern with LeYoung/Cordy
Key Forwards: Kennedy/Darling with Naughts/Schache
We aren't doing that are we? West Coast can go bigger than us 'cos at this point in there development, the Weagles bigs are better/more dependable than our bigs. I wanted to say 'particularly the backs' but then I thought about it and wanted to write 'particularly the forwards' and now I just want to say it just isnt a comparison.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

No it wasn’t at all my intention to compare who has the better talls at this stage in their development. The Eagles are undoubtedly superior in this area.
I was as much highlighting that you can go in big against a smaller line up if the talent and experience stacks up.
The Eagles on paper went in significantly taller than the Crows but they do have the talent, experience, and mobility where judging on height alone is secondary if not insignificant.
I’m not at all convinced that Cordy plays or is suited to a key defensive position which is how we’re using him.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
Are we expecting rain? I'm in sunny QLD so I don't know what it's like in Ballarat.
Just in the selection sense.

Around 1mm is expected Sunday morning. Temp will max out at around 9 degrees.

Forgarty leads at the ball carrier far, far more than Lynch who would be considered a 50/50 long ball / lead up forward. JT will struggle on the lead. A least as far as I'm concerned.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 23, Vs Adelaide
So is Trengove's omission a team balance change? I thought he did an admirable job last week.
