Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

I don't know why anyone is surprised anymore. Bevo has shown time and time again that he will give blokes opportunity if their form with Footscray justifies it....and once they are elevated, he consistently gives them two or three games to adapt to senior footy. The club will reap the benefits of this in the next couple of years.

Agree, whilst I don't believe we have picked a team most suited to winning this Sunday, we are continuing to pick a side that will give us the best chance of success into the future.

I guess as we have been shitful for the best part of 5 years we are all clinging to the hope that we will see some finals action in about 8 weeks time, but this was always a year to develop and assess the list.. And we are sticking true to that.

Yep it's very easy to get short sited, we'll be better for it long term. Well said guys.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

This team selection looks future based, not as and now.

I think its firmly in the "Player development" focus, if Bevo was 100% focussed on the now he would pick different players, that I have no doubt. We are well ahead of where we thought we were and all the game time he is putting into these kids holds us in good stead.

Still i reckon this week would have been great for Toyd to play.

Minson would play every week if we were really wanting to win I reckon.

Paul Seedsman out for them. Darcy Moore in.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Well... we are extremely small now. Wood will have to take Jesse White? Morris Moore? Talia the resting ruck?

Who will give Campbell a chop out? Redpath?

Worrying.

It'll probably have to be Redpath but that was probably going to be the case anyway when Boyd got dropped.

I'm guessing Wood to Moore, Morris to White, Talia to Grundy/Witts.

If our midfield aren't tight enough it's going to be a tough day for our back 6 but it's not like they have an elite forward there who can destroy us. Can't wait for Roberts to return!

We're looking very thin down back now.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Jesse White come on down if you can't kick a bag tomorrow and prove Carey wrong you're never going to make it. I can see us restructuring our forward line around Jake and Redpath going back. I can't see how it is going to work down there with their talls to be honest.

Roughead is a loss but pleased to see Talia get another chance.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

If everyone chips in and plays team defence we'll be OK. If we let the ball out of our forward line easily, or let them get behind us we'll be exposed as we are every week when we allow it to happen.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

It's going to be the case study for whether you bother to play tall defenders up against a mass of average tall AFL forwards.

White, Moore, Witts/Grundy. It doesn't get any more tall forwards/low quality than that.

Played well last week against Geelong, so in not bad form.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

The umpires are paying free kicks for anything and everything today I assume under orders to avoid stoppages so hopefully we can benefit from that tomorrow
