So we have 2 definite outs in Wood and Daniel and both from the backline.
We also need more tall timber against St Kilda. That means Young or Gardner need to be brought in. Crozier gets the other backline spot, but I am not convince about Hayden as he flies too often and leaves us exposed at round level.
Expect Hunter to come in and Lipinski is most under the pump.
If English gets up it should be Hannan that makes way
I actually thought after a couple of iffy efforts (of which I was very critical in the game day thread) as he was warming into the game Crozier was pretty good. He stays which is logical anyway given Wood is out.
Hunter comes in for Smith, with the latter being a bit unlucky. I think we go with English for Sweet because of how Tim impacts around the ground and essentially keep the same set up in support of that. Right or wrong, I just think that's how the MC will go.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

We need the 3 headed monster back asap.
100%.
Bevo says we want the 'full of beans' Timmy. I hope we see that Timmy on the track this week. If so, the MC is going to possibly have the hardest discussion in a long while.

I'd be surprised if Sweet was dropped this week. He was very good and coming back from a bad concussion I do not envisage English playing long ruck minutes. Plus, Sweet was pretty good. Very good actually.

I'm more convinced than ever that a genuine #1 ruck and a good forward/2nd ruck is critical to our chances. Timmy is not a genuine #1 ruck but is a damn good forward/2nd ruck.

English has been out for two weeks. So get ready for a surprise.

Agreed.
English comes in as a forward and second ruck, he does not replace Sweet, Martin replaces Sweet when his ready.
If English is fit, he comes into the forward line and we see the English / Sweet combo for the first time.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 10 Vs St Kilda 2021
In:
English, Hunter as definite and Crozier maybe
Out:
Wood (inj), Lipinski as definite and Scott (managed) maybe
Scott to just have a refresh and come back in is what I’m thinking. No idea if he needs it, but a bit quieter last night.
Lipinski a victim of Hunter returning. Roarke stays in with his versatility - can play roles all over. Probably the player who goes out when Scott comes back in.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 10 Vs St Kilda 2021
I think Timmy might miss again, so
In- Crozier, Hunter
Out- wood, Roarke
Roarke to be sub.
I will never see #16 the same!!

If Tim misses again it's getting very worrying.

He's completing training, which is a good sign. Hoping he's not far off.
