Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

I only saw up to 3 quarter time which Hrovat must have had a good last quarter. The 3 quarters I saw he was a case of the fumbles.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

I wasn't impressed at all.

You would need to bring back Crameri. Our attack was pathetic yesterday with just three goals from our regular forwards. Tom Boyd's reluctance to lead makes the forward line too static. It might be time to bring back Redpath following his 5 goals in the VFL today .He is a leading forward.This would leave to ruck Roughy and Boyd changing out of the forward pocket with Minson to miss.

Crameri was down on par for VFL level. I like the idea of giving Redpath another shot.

If you were to compare the impact each had, you'd think Redpath gets the nod if selection is purely based on VFL form.

Outs:-
Dale, Webb, Minson

Ins:-
Honeychurch, Biggs, Redpath

HC and Biggs are in to replace Dale and Webb. I'd go with Boyd as the second ruck this week and Redpath to help keep us straight when Boyd is in the ruck and hopefully string together a few good games at senior level. That being said, I'd be OK with leaving Minson in and allowing Redpath another week at VFL level if we think he's starting to build form and confidence and would benefit from that.

I'd like know posters reasons for dropping Webb?

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Might have something to do with little impact coming on as a sub with only 3 touches, although he managed a goal. Maybe the sub is the next step for demotion.
I hate the sub rule and the sooner it's gone the better.

Yeah, I'd keep him in..

Some are saying he might need a rest, well he got one yesterday.

I think a couple of things:
- Morris back along with Wood, JJ, M Boyd and Bobby means medium small defensive spots are taken
- Form hasn't been great (I rate him highly and get it's primarily about development)
- Winter is here and I think we need another senior/more mature body
- We can give other kids a guy/rotate the opportunities
- Being dropped doesn't have to be completely negative. Not like the olden days. He can play a couple of full games at VFL, it has it's own development advantages

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

In- Hrovat, Daniel, Redpath
Out- Dale, Webb, Minson

Redpath for Minson is the dilemma for mine. If next week's game lived in isolation, I would keep Minson, however his short and long term value to the team are low. The issue is that the other ruck options run a high risk of not being able to be competitive. I think if we need to give Redpath a go and this is the best/only? time to do it. He has had his best game of the season and we have two games that are a bit 'easier'. Hopefully it doesn't cost us the game.

I really love the look of Daniel. He seems the type of player who can do a lot with 15 touches, great decision maker, things happen when he gets it. I think he can some in and add a bit of value to the side, as well as getting games into him.

I would like to see Honeychurch in as well but can't fit 23 into 22.

That is an excellent point you make. I'm sure that is the message that the coaching staff would relay to the players, particular to the younger guys.

It is great that the young guys are getting a taste of AFL footy and seeing the level they need to be at to be a success. But, particularly with the sub-rule, it is important they continue to get regular game time therefore I believe it works to their (and the team's) advantage to be rotated in and out of the seniors.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Who will play on their big forward with the best grab in the league, he is a big boy Casboult and we might need a big body in Minson to push him out of the way to stop the big marks in packs.

Minson in a defensive role?

Roberts is the man for this job.. The days of having your rucking sitting back behind play finished in the 90's.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

I reckon we'll need Minno this week so that Roughy can match up on Casboult - Minno should also match up well with Wood and Kreuzer.

Carlton are much improved the last few weeks - no coincidence that it has been since Kreuzer has come back from injury. He adds that bull-at-a-gate competitiveness they've lacked in the middle. They won't be easybeats this week by a longshot.
