Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Do you realise Darcy Moore is almost 200cm and Wood is 187cm

He's played 2 career games and not kicked a goal, and he's struggled to get a kick in the VFL level. He's hardly worth structuring our team around regardless if he's tall.

Eade used to do this all the time - we had some weird stat that the only Bulldogs player to have played on a ruckman from every opposing team in 2007 was Lindsay Gilbee. Used to back him getting a chop-out in the air and then using his run to rebound.

I prefer Wood is used the way he has the whole season and not have to play tall.

yep and we had a great 2007.

If we ended up going in without Talia - then I'm very comfortable with Wood playing on Moore. Moore won't be able to get to many contests, Wood will zone off and take a heap of intercept marks and set up the play for us. It would be a massive win.

If Talia plays, then I'd say Talia should play on Jesse White anyway. Morris on the best player (ie. Swan if he is forward) and still let Wood play on one of the young kids.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

The whole Collingwood forward line will be running to dummy locations, they are expecting to win this with goals from midfielders, Swan, Pendlebury etc. these guys are highly underrated as forwards.

We will be seriously under the pump with our faux midfield, lets just hope that we can get enough of it to our forward line who on paper at least are far stronger.

If we don't win this game we will be lucky to play finals footy, so there is plenty in it for us.

Dale lucky to keep his spot.

Collingwood have gone with a small forward line, so we have left out Talia.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Does Roughy follow the resting ruckman into the the ruck to relieve Campbell or does Redpath give him a chop out? It will leave the backline a bit exposed if Roughy has to ruck, and the forward line without a genuine tall in Redpath isn't there.

This must be the shortest side we have fielded in quite a while.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

I get Beveridge's greater picture team selection thing but this week has me particularly baffled.

I get dropping T Boyd but combined with Talia not being in, makes us too short IMO. The resting 2nd ruck isn't super dangerous but can pinch a couple of goals just via being a bit too tall. I don't want us to sacrifice the rebound we get from our small-medium defenders. The thing is it is not like we are stacked with runners who can really influence the game too.

This is where Hamling would have been handy. Has T Boyd got an injury? Hopefully Roughy has a better game this week. Well done Tory Dickson on 50 games for our club. Lets hope you have another good day out.

Should have brought in Talia for Dale.

I think we have to go with Redpath. I am not a big fan of Roughy as the #1 KPD. Thing is, they don't have anyone that is a #1 KPF. Still, I think T Boyd or Talia would offer a lot more to our structure than Dale or Prudden.
