Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

No one screamed senior promotion imminent in the VFL game in my opinion. CD was good but I feel he has more improvement to be made playing VFL. Ayce needs to do what he did yesterday consistently to get back. Morris and Honey looked rusty and Hunter and Biggs played ok but need to tidy up their games a bit more.

I don't disagree but if your logic was adopted, we wouldn't have seen Dale, Webb and McLean in the seniors at all, let alone the amount of matches they have been selected in. Beveridge seems to be the type of coach who is ready to throw the young blokes in which will be to our huge advantage in seasons to come.

Personally I think we might see two changes this week...Crameri for Dale who needs a full game and CD for Hrovat who simply needs to win more footy to compliment his pressure acts.

I'm for keeping the Minson/Roughead tandem. Didn't work as well on the weekend but was fine the previous two. We could need Minson if the saints forwards get on top and we need to push Roughy back.

In Crameri
Out Dale ( very unlucky )

Can we put some work into Armytage this time !!

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Fit or unfit, I think Dale Morris is the best match up for Reiwoldt. If they play him on the wing again like they did last time, then let Roberts run with him.

Billy Longer killed Cordy last time ... Minson stays !!

I don't want to attack our small fleet though ... we definitely need someone to run with Armitage for all four quarters this time.


In :- Morris
Out :- Dale (probably deserves another games or two but ...)

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

If Morris comes in for Dale, where does Webb play? Time for a turn as the sub?

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Anyone think Grant could take on Riewoldt if he plays up the ground?

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

To quote an ex-coach, if they promote Morris to play on Riewoldt...I'll spew up.

We have to put trust in our younger defenders even if there is some short term pain as there is zero future in continuing to play Morris on the gun forwards. We've all been surprised how well our defenders have combined this season, so we should show some faith. If we are to bring Morris in.....have him play on the medium/small forwards.

Understand and agree somewhat, but I REALLLLLLLY want to beat the Saints after last time. And if it takes Moz manning one of their key forwards, I'm all for it.

Not sure he's 100% ready to go, but I would feel comfortable with him back there.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

As hard as Morris tries Riewoldt takes him to the cleaners every time. He's a poor match up for him.

Talia is probably the best match up but I can't see him being promoted after the weekend. I'd go with either Roberts or Hamling and focus on limiting his supply.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

We need players that can contribute over the 4 quarters and make their midfield accountable.

Crameri needs to come in and now I'm warming to Honeychurch and Jong for Webb, Dale and Hrovat.
I want to give the younger guys plenty of chances but we must get our best team in against the Saints.

Wood to take Reiwoldt is the best fit in my opinion

If by killed Cordy you mean won more tap outs you're right. Cordy clearly smashed him around the ground, however.

I don't think Cordy's ready for a call up as yet. I want to see him continue to play well at the lower level over an extended period of time.

That's not to say that I wasn't completely underwhelmed by Roughead and Minson last week, though funnily I did see some reports stating Roughead was influential in the second half and was a catalyst for our late surge, so perhaps I'm judging him harshly.

In - Crameri
Out - Dale

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

In T Campbell Crameri
out Minson, Hrovat

What's wrong with Hrovat is he injured?
I thought he did his bit. 15 touches and a goal is not dropping form is it?

Agree with this. Crameri needs to come in and it's time to unleash Honeychurch but I have no idea who comes out for him...
I quite like the idea of Hamling starting on Riewoldt. He matches up with him in athleticism and height although will struggle to stay with him for 4 quarters.

INS: Crameri
OUTS: Dale

In hindsight make that out Dale
