Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
I think Bailey Dale is due some time in the VFL - he's shown enough that he'll be back but at the moment he doesn't have the form to pick up enough possessions to keep his spot.
With Morris back, Webb should go to the VFL as his strong suite is the same position that Morris plays.
I'm not sure about Minson. He is not suited to our game where we are tactically electing to not go long around the boundary line and use boundary stoppages or bomb it long and hold it for a stoppage if we couldn't win the contest. Last night we were clearly choosing to hold the play up and shift the line of attack to the centre corridor or the fat side of the ground using keepings off rather than go long and hold for a stoppage (the hallmark of the McCartney era).
Tactically, next week I would like to see more long kicking to position in the forward line and look to win the contested ball on merits, either marks or crumbing. Dickson and Stringer should be positioned much deeper to support Toyd. I thought we blew Brisbane away when we started doing this in the second half last week.
If we play Minson again, we should be prepared play more stoppage situations, reset and go again - this worked well against GWS, I thought.
Basically, I thought last night, like the first half against Brisbane, there was too much finessing in the middle, there should be more long kicking, even if the results are boundary throw ins or ball ups 50-60 metres downfield. Beat the zone with long kicks, that in turn can open it up through the midfield as the opposition starts to anticipate and flood back deeper.Officially on the Bus-wagonComment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
Carlton have 3 big forwards, Henderson, Casboult and Kruezer. So whilst I'm not a fan of Roberts, Hamling, Morris all playing as well as Rough and Minson. It's probably needed again this week.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
I think with Morris back in, it makes it hard to find a role down the chain for Webb. Bob, M Boyd, Wood and JJ taking the medium/small roles down back.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
After today I'd go
In. Redpath, Honey and Daniel
Out. Minson, Webb and Dale
Carlton Ruckmen aren't very good so Redpath or Boyd to give Roughy a chop out."Loves a scrap....oh yeah & he's a pretty handy footballer as well"Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
Jones kicked 6 on a witches hat in the VFL today in a 170 point win. We might have to bolster our defence if they rush him back in, so perhaps Daniel?Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
I'd be going with:
In - Biggs
Out - Dale
Hrovat really tried to create for us today, and if we think Webb should be dropped we might let him in.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton
After watching todays game i think Hrovat is the only player who could possibly come in.Comment
