I'm missing Crammers more and more as the year goes on. He's a gun and alongside Stringer they are almost unstoppable.

The problem with playing Campbell forward isn't just his agility/mobility, it's that AND his inability to convert his chances. If he could be a reasonable chance to nail his chances, his ability to clunk a mark would make him a decent enough forward target with Redpath and T Boyd out. I think we have little choice anyway as he beats Stringer/Fletcher Roberts at key forward target (obviously I think String is a gun, just much better when he isn't playing the main tall guy role).

Campbell has emerged as our best ruck man and neither he or Minson appeal as a key forward. Roughead looked ordinary when forced to play in defence last week and the combination of he and Campbell in the ruck has been a success. I would prefer to see Hamling tried forward and if need be interchange with Roberts in a forward/ defence role. The danger is that playing Campbell Minson and Roughead in the same team makes us look top heavy.

Anyone think that Hogan played a good game for Melbourne on the weekend? Me neither.

When playing as a full time forward, your game is almost wholly dictated by your kicking at goal. I just don't trust Campbell in front of goal at the moment, and his finishing totally negates anything else he might do. I don't think Will can come in if Campbell forward full time is the result.

Redpath to just suit up and play is a good chance. Whose going to stop him?

Those of you suggesting Minson, Campbell & Roughead in the same side must have short memories!

No thanks.

Prepare yourself. It's not from the usual Bevo playbook but is a definite possibility.

It's scary. That being said I don't want to go in with a lineup like we had against Hawthorn and Norf. We need a big target up there with Jake and Dicko. Maybe Collins in, Roberts forward?

Either way it's not ideal at all.

I always prepare to be surprised by selection! Its funny that this thread makes it to plenty of pages worth of posts every week in speculation - and we never get any closer to being on the same page as Bevo.

We were one week. I remember it pretty much went as expected. Which was shocking in and of itself.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9 2016 vs GWS Giants

My nostalgia remembers TC as a better kick for goal than we have seen recently.

I know zilch as to the intentions of the match committee, for all I know we will bring in a small to cover Red.

He's an elite runner too which would be very handy in the modern era of interchange caps. Given he won a club goalkicking award at AFL level 4 years in a row he'll be a fantastic addition o our best 22 next year.

I think a lot of us wonder if Fletcher could make it as a forward given his marking ability - though I also recall two passages of play from Collins' draft video where he played forward and converted nicely from the set shot after having a lead honored.

Would seem silly to debut at FF when you've spent most of your junior career and *all of your VFL career to date at FB, but from the limited sample, he looked to have some forward clues.

* I haven't seen a lot of VFL so far this year, though I believe this is the case

Re: Match Committee - Round 9 2016 vs GWS Giants

I think we will definitely see a tall replace Redpath up forward, whether it be Campbell or Roberts. Beveridge has talked about learning from the North game, this was the main lesson.

Yep was pretty obvious that game getting smashed for almost every F50 entry.
Campbell is the tall most likely to take grabs forward and actually kick a goal or two. I'd favour him forward as he's slightly less terrible kicking for goal than Roughy.

Might need to have 5-10 shots on goal for this to come to fruition.

Think this role is more about the ability to compete for the long ball and hopefully keep the ball in rather than to hit the scoreboard.
