Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Outs, Smith, Webb, Roberts and Hunter
In's, M.Boyd, Biggs, Hamling and Grant

The logic,
Grant comes in as a replacement for the unlucky Clay Smith.
Biggs slots into half back spot for Webb who could probably do with a quick break.
Hamling for Roberts is just to add some athleticism that we lacked today.
Boyd in for Hunter who was disappointing. I'd look for Boyd to spend some more time in the middle.

I tend to agree. MBoyd may be needed in the centre.

Jong said on Friday on 774 that he would be out for at least two.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Koby could barely walk along the boundary after around half time and Stringer injured his groin and was walking with a limp.

Stringer fades in most games so we will have to wait and see. Stevens is resilient so I hope he comes up. It would be hard to replace them but Redpath is one option for Stringer and maybe Hunter stays in Stevens doesn't make it.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Minson , Redpath , Hamling , Wallis , Biggs and Dale will all be put up the board for consideration , will have to wait and see the final toll with injuries

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Out: Smith, Stevens, Hunter, Cordy, Roberts, Webb
In: Jong, M. Boyd, Biggs, Minson, Hamling, Dale

- It's a fair few changes and unlikely to happen, but this is what I'd do. Smith/Stevens due to injury, Hunter/Roberts due to form, Webb/Cordy rested.
- If Wallis is right, he takes Dale's spot.

You are right on the correct selection path TBB. Out: Webb needs to be rested, shouldn't have played today. Stevens (injured), Smith (injured), Cordy had his best game, yes, but we were still smashed in the ruck and Roughead was spending too much time covering for Ayce's lack of stamina - we have to play our best and most proven ruckman, Will Minson. Hunter goes out unless there is a permanent forward role for him next week. Macrae, Dahlhaus, Stringer, Hrovat, Honeychurch and Crameri all went missing in the second half and I think if any of them has soreness issues for next week they have to be rested. On form alone, Hrovat, Honeychurch, Roberts and Crameri could well do with some time in the twos. If there is so much pressure for a spot in the team, today's result should bring about more than just mandatory changes for Smith and Stevens, both injured.

In: Minson, Matt Boyd, Hamling, Redpath, Biggs, Wallis (presuming he is available), Jong (if available). If Wallis or Jong are not available, I would be looking to Grant.

Basically, there should be around 6 to 7 changes for next week's match. Players who were too sore to run out this week in the second half won't have recovered enough by next week after today. Players who had poor games and players who have been carried the past few weeks should be dropped.

Yeah noticed Stringer limping in the 4th, thought there must have been something wrong. Stevens would have found it hard, that corky would have ripened nicely during the break at half time.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

In Biggs Dale Hamling Wallis( if fit) Jong ( if fit) Boyd Minson( has to come in for Sandi, Ayce may get eaten)
Out Clay, Roberts, Stephens , Ayce ,Webb( needs a spell)

I don't reckon they'll play him there.
May need to

Smith and Stevens injured and sore respectively, Webb to be rested.

Wallis and Boyd fill the gap around the ball and down back, Biggs in to be a running player.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Wallis is only 50/50.. Heard him talking to a fan today.

l heard thru a close (very) family member of his that he is right to go.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

Don't know about changes except there is no way known I'd be leaving Cordy out. If we are ever to know whether he is going to make it, or not, he needs to stack a few games together. It makes no sense to rest him after his best game for us. Cordy at least has the height to match Sandilands and, with a bit of confidence under his belt, now is his time. to go for it, jump all over him and make a name for himself for all the right reasons. Leave him out of the side now and we're still no closer to answering the question: Is this guy a league footballer?

I'm going to add a couple more changes.

Out: Macrae, Roberts

In: Dale, Hamling

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

In: Wallis, M.Boyd, Biggs, Redpath, Hamling, Grant (if Stringer inj)
Out: Smith, Stevens, Webb, T. Boyd, Roberts, Stringer (if inj)

Tom Boyd looks like he needs a spell. Could only half heartedly commit to outnumber a contest leaving his man free for an easy out. Would keep him in if they're confident he can run it out, but I'm certainly not.

Webb also just a rest, he looks best 22.

Time to see what Hamling can offer.

Would also consider Dale for Hrovat

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

I don't think we'll do huge changes this week although with a few injuries our hand may be forced that way.

Ins: Wallis/Biggs, Boyd
Outs: Smith, Webb

Stevens I think will be good to go if not I'd give Biggs his shot. If Wallis is not right then Biggs to come in.

I did hear Cordy will be rested this week. If so Will comes in for him.

Fingers crossed with Stringer tough to replace him.
