Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Why? Despite a big win last week our development players weren't that great. I think Hamling was on McStay and was beaten convincingly. I'm surprised to see so many doubt Moz.

Not sure I agree with that.. Whilst McStay kicked 3 ( included 1 joe the goose) he was hardly a damaging player.

He wasnt going to break the game apart but I thought he bet Hamling on the night. Certainly not disgraced though.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

After a very very rusty looking game in the VFL last week - I have some trepidation about Morris coming back in. Particularly for a different type of player in Hrovat.

I'm not too phased with Crameri coming back via VFL. He hasn't had a great season, which I guess you could trace back to both missing the pre-season games, and then having some injury related interruptions. Thought it was time to give Bailey Dale a VFL stint.

With Moz coming back into the lineup, does this now force one of JJ or Boyd into the midfield / wing? Maybe Boyd will get a run with role on Armitage?

I think we need Boyd in the backline, he is playing career best footy. I would imagine Web may move up the ground.

For mine Webb is too light to rotate through the centre at this stage. Possibly could come off the wing. I could see Webb being the sub and save for an injury, replacing Moz at some stage during the game.

I agree he is not a mid, I was thinking more wing.

So apparently Crameri was straight up dropped, not "managed" or whatever...

Not sure it's quite career best. Take 2009 for instance - best and fairest and all Australian in a side that went within a whisker of a Grand Final. Boyd was one of the top midfielders in the league for a few years, lets not undersell that.

The consistent approach from Luke continues.....

I really like it in all honesty. Crameri has been not so good this year, and his continued inconsistency and infuriating lack of discipline costs us each and every game.

He'll get back but he's far from beyond demotion.

I like his approach to senior players. It sends a strong message through the group. The decisions have all had merit behind them too (especially with Macrae and now Crameri).

My only surprise is how hell bent he is on playing Dale/Webb/McLean. In an ideal world I'd only be playing one, maybe two at times.

Agree it is confusing how they are going to line up. Another defender means Fletch may have to go forward, or Perhaps Roughead.
The saints are playing 3 tall forward, although Riewoldt may push up the ground further. Either way will be some interesting changes. I hope we don't lack for run minus a midfielder.

I thought Dale was ok as the sub, Luke doesn't drop the sub to the VFL and I think that is a fair way to do it.

Bevo has gone on record previouslly that he dosen't want Mozz to play on key forwards and nor shoud he for the better ment of the team and for the continued development of our playing group.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs St. Kilda

Personally if Criewoldt does push up the ground further I would like to see one Spindleshanks have first crack.
He may just surprise a few people with what he can do given the chance.
