Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Probably Hrovat. I guess it all depends on who is healthy. If guys like Stringer, Stevens or both are missing it could change things. Fingers crossed they're both out there Sunday.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Worried about Stringer who was clutching his groin throughout the last quarter. Hope it was just general soreness but won't be surprised if he is rested.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Smith for Boyd for obvious reasons.
If Wallis is fit, then he has to come in. If Stevens is injured then that's the swap there, if not then Webb gets a rest after a very impressive first few games. If neither Stevens nor Wallis are fit then Prudden comes in as the one remaining fit inside mid type we have on the list.
If Webb is being rested then Biggs takes his spot.
If Cordy is rested then Campbell takes his spot.
If Stringer isn't right then Redpath takes his spot.
So basically:
Outs...................Ins
Smith.....................Boyd
Stevens (if inj).........Wallis (if inj Prudden)
Webb (rest).............Biggs
Cordy (if rested).......Campbell
Stringer (if inj)..........RedpathI should leave it alone but you're not rightComment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
My gut feel is Wallis will play this week, and we know Boyd will (according to a press conference last week).
Who else has played well and deserves a game? Dale, Biggs, and Grant as well as Minson played well in the last VFL game.
Outs:, will depend alot on injuries and of course one certain out is Smith. Stevens looked extremely sore and I can't see him playing.
Where does that leave us? I will wait till the injury news tonight.FFC: Established 1883

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Much as I like Roberts I do think he is bit slowish. If Freo forwards are quick would love to see Hamling get a go.
Would also like to see Roberts and /or Hamling get a go in forward line sometime - no doubt the MC will experiment at appropriate times so we groom some players who can swing forward or back.
Agree with likely need to rest Webb & perhaps give Biggs a go (Darley just back from injury I recall).
I'm not sure MC should keep Hunter in - although dropping players after 1 game is not good, not playing the team mantra is not good either.
Macrae has not been his normal self either in last 2possibly 3 weeks. Possibly needs a rest. Perhaps give Dale a go?
MBoyd auto in for dreadfully unlucky Clay.
Wallis and Jong look like they are a week or two away. If they were available I'd swap them for say Hunter and Hrovat or Hunter and Honeychurch. Out of the three H's I've admired Honeychurch the most. Here's hoping the other 2 H's become consistently good soon. Yes I know Hrovat did ok in last manic 15 mins vs Sydney however I'm not convinced he is best 22 yet even with injury list and Hunter even less so. I think I have become spoilt with young players debuts and expect too much after Bonti/Stringer/Macrae when on song !!
Also think we should not chance Stringer and Stevens if there is any doubt so if they are then bring in Redpath and/or Grant.
At risk of being shot down I liked the game of Kelly as inside mid player in last VFL match played at WO - thought he looked quite composed and has a good build, however understand he is now injured and slowish and therefore probably no better bet than Goodes. Although Goodes definitely subscribes to team mantra I recall 3 or so really crucial turnovers - mostly in Q4 against Saints and would really prefer another inside midfielder gets a go (if we have any left to choose from !!).Josie :)
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Four big changes although I don't think we'll get four, perhaps three.
OUTS: Smith, Goodes, Cordy, Webb
Smith obviously, depth player Goodes back to the VFL for Boyd and Cordy and Webb to have a spell.
INS: M Boyd, Wallis, Campbell, Biggs
We desperately missed Boyd and Wallis on Saturday. I would play Campbell against Sandilands and leave him in for a few weeks to afford him the same opportunity afforded to Ayce. Likewise Webb for Biggs. I thought Webb was running on the spot a bit on Saturday.
This is of course assuming Stevens gets over his glute. If Stevens does not come up then Grant in for Stevens.
Hunter as the sub. You can't just bring him as sub, play him out of position (granted that we needed to) and then drop him.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
Outs:
Cordy, Smith, Stevens, Webb
Ins,
Minson, Boyd, Jong, Wallis
If either or both the latter are unavailable then Grant & Dale
Thought Goodes showed enough to stay in.
Cordy, while better, is still a liability. He cannot hold his position when pressured body to body.
Minson gives us more.
Many others looked sore - hoping for a light week for Stringer.I'm paying money, the girl's happy, she's got no money, I got my rocks off, how good is this...Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle
I'm hoping we make 4 to 6 changes this week and give a few of the young and sore players a rest.
We are a very slim chance to beat Freo with our injury list and their current form, but we have 2 very winnable games soon after so I hope we take a long term view with our team selection this week.Comment

Happy to leave Roberts in again , Hamling will get his chance soon , Wallis back in the engine room , M.Boyd back in so JJ goes to the bench , Biggs on the wing so Macrae goes to the bench , Minson and Campbell in for Cordy so we can rotate the two of them and Campbell can start at HF , Goodes was cover for M.Boyd and did what was required of him but drops out , Stringer can have a rest , Cordy has done what the Coach required of him but having two competing ruckmen against Fremantle is a stronger matchupComment
