Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Could JJ be a chance for an omission? He's a run and carry player as well at VFL level. Same the same type of role.

Wouldn't have thought so. Was good against Geelong - 22 touches @ 90% and named in the best.

I certainly hope not. Think JJ has become one of our most important players. Recently when we have been cramped for run, he has started slowly (as has the team), but JJ coming into the game and breaking lines has coincided with (and been a big factor in) us getting back into the game/or getting on top in the game.

Agree and I wasn't advocating for him to be omitted. It would be a like for like selection because they play a similar role. Smith probably a bit more defensive minded, JJ more attacking. Maybe I'm pigeon holing both players.

The stats certainly prove that. In first halves he is ranked 52, but second halves he is ranked number 2. (run and bounce)

He might replace Boyd and Boyd goes into the middle

Still no Hamling, which may mean Talia gets another look this week.

Would be interested to see either of Biggs or Darley get a run, too. Mainly because Darley must be up for review if he doesn't start to demand senior selection and Biggs has been a consistent performer at VFL level who deserves an extended run.

You would think the Sontaran (Daniel) and Toyd would be in the 22. I can see Hunter is picked as starting FP but I'm not sure he really is in the 22 based on form. I don't like the idea of Wood being CHB - Morris or Talia instead? I'll give it to Bevo, he has picked an extended line up to keep everyone guessing.

Hunter on field, so not out and not sub
M Boyd named in the back pocket
Redpath at FF and T Boyd on the bench

Strange grouping of ins.. Oh well, wait and see what the final side looks like.

Agreed but I often find that strange. Beveridge seems to have a set of team rules/expectations as a prerequisite to get in, so can be hard to guess.

If we go with Talia and Biggs for Dale and Prudden it will be pretty much what was expected. As has been discussed, Jong's ability to get through an AFL game physically is an issue.

Is that how it works, if named in the 18 they have to start? Or can they be one of the 3 omitted?

I would be happy to see Talia in the final 22 without Hamling and Roberts being available.I think the jury is still out on Darley Biggs and Hunter as to whether they are good enough to be in our best team.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

The intriguing thing about this is that Minson is not back, but named for Footscray.

The three omissions come from the list of 7 players on the bench.
