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

Also, Will is pretty poor in marking contests IMO.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Having watched a lot of the Hamling/Roberts v Riewoldt/Bruce match ups - where the work rates involved was outrageous, I'd hope our staff were watching Hamling and Roberts very closely this week.

Those two saints players are about as good athletes as you will find, so our guys would be pretty sore and tired. At one point very late in the game Riewoldt led, doubled back, led, change direction, led again - and this went on for about 60-90 seconds while the saints stuffed around with the ball up field. Roberts was probably delirious by the end of it! And I've heard that Bruce goes close to keeping up with Riewoldt at training (running-wise).

Minson in a defensive role?

I think Redpath is the ideal canidate for this role.
Can go forward if Boyd pinch hits in the ruck and vice versa for Roughy to give him a chop out in defence.
Has played both ends of the ground previously and also gives us that biged bodied strength factor.

I don't mind the idea of Redpath doing a spell in the back line. I wonder if he has the tank though

I would question that Redpath has the footy smarts to play forward and back. Redpath's appeal is as a leading forward who is still to prove that he is good enough at senior level. By contrast I could see Fletcher Roberts becoming a key forward. This could only occur if Talia was able to prove that he is capable of becoming a reliable key defender.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Can't wait to see what changes the committee makes or even if there are no changes. The committee has been awesome so far this year and have had a great playing group with which to work. We had a few that were down on form last week like Stringer who will hopefully step up. Reciprocally Easton Wood was magnificent and I hope he can be so consistently, there's no rule against it. It would be great if the committee deem Redpath can step up and take Rock the Casboult and help out in the ruck.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Brilliant to see Daniel get a crack, and to see Redpath get another shot.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Young Webb a tad unlucky.
Big chance for Jack Redpath as a mature recruit ,his career is on the line.
Well done to Caleb Daniel. Let's keep count of Height references to Caleb.
My prediction triple figures by Saturday night

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Good ins.

If Boyd has a niggle, give him time to rest and heal. No need to cook the golden goose

Redpath has every reason to play out of his skin, Honey will bring back relentless pressure in the forward half and Caleb will be hitting up dinky little 30m passes like he's Sam Mitchell's love child.

And for the record, in the under/over for height references, I'm taking over 100.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Hope Boyd's OK, but love the changes. The kids have had a good taste, Redpath needs another shot, Daniel is ready and we have missed Honeychurch's frantic pressure and forward line crumbing

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Awesome to see Daniel get a game.

I thought Biggs was a bit stiff not to, though another good performance will see him get a chance.

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

Stoked to see Daniel get a game, especially against carlscum who gave us that pick for jones, really hope he rips it to shreds while Tutt and jones tear up the vfl

Re: Match Committee - Round 14 vs Carlton

So in the 2s we have the following who have played senior footy this year and could come in and play a role:

Talia
Hrovat
Jong
Crameri
Hunter
Cordy
Webb
Dale
Biggs

Usually by this stage of the year you start realising the depth you thought was there, isn't. Doesn't seem to be the case in 2015.
