Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

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

Not really. Campbell was always going to get a shot and most likely an extended run at being the first ruck.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

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

Yeah mate, the sub and 3 outs come from the extended bench
Possible that Tom Boyd gets a rest with Campbell, Roughead & Redpath all in the 18

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Collingwood

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.

Talia has to play, Coll have quite a few talls up forward and whilst they don't seem to pose a threat I'm not sure I want Wood & Morris giving away 10+ cm.

I agree. need one of hamling, roberts or talia and talia last man standing.

I'd have him in and agree that we can't go small against the Pies just because Cloke isn't in.

They've loaded the forward line on paper, with Moore, Gundy and White who are all very tall players. This means that one of Morris or Wood will be on a significantly taller opponent at various times.

I would be very surprised if Boyd is rested. He missed a game through injury recently and, for the season, has covered about as much ground as you would playing 18 holes at Medway. What he needs is to start leading and getting some decent delivery from up ahead. I have rarely seen him create distance between him and his immediate opponent and that comes about due to the interplay of the above two factors. We need Boyd firing; he needs the game time. He must play. Furthermore, I think he is contributing ok when he takes a spell on the ball and Campbell will definitely need a chop out against Grundy and Witts.

I'd be happy with:

Talia - White
Roughy - Grundy/ Witts
Morris - Moore

Sounds about right. Moore is pretty agile for a big bloke, so Morris is probably the best to go with him. Even though he lacks 10cm, he will be a tough match up and too strong for Moore in the contest. Talia and Roughie don't have the wheels to go with Moore.

Am I wrong in saying that most of Moore's year to date has been played at centre half back? Not sure he is necessarily loading the forward line...

He's been playing forward.

hmmm, I hope Boyd plays, he has had a couple of quiet ones lately but generally I have really enjoyed watching him contest the aerials deep in the forward line. He has clunked a number of beauties too.

I'd go Wood on Moore. Moore is nowhere at this point, he'll get 3 possessions all game. Put someone like Wood on him who can hurt him zoning off and save Morris for someone more dangerous

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

I would prefer to see Morris play on Swan who tends to play a lot of his football forward these days. Wood's marking ability should enable him to go to Moore. I was wondering if Biggs might come into the side as a tag on Pendlebury where he played a similar role last year with the Sydney Swans. Pendlebury and Swan have had a habit in the past of blitzing the Western Bulldogs and need to be closely watched.
