    Re: Match Committee - Round 13 2016 vs Geelong

    I like Hamilton but my worry is whether he will be a passenger in such a big game.

      Adams for Hamling ( unlucky )
      Jong for Dahl
      Don't think we'll be bringing in Clay after one game back from an ACL

        I would be reluctant to bring Clay straight back in already not because of his knee but rather because he has played one game in a year.

        I'd be looking to get him back up to full match fitness and touch by giving him at least a month in the VFL. After that I'd be all for his selection but I think there needs to be a slightly slower approach considering he has played maybe 8 games in the last three years.
        I should leave it alone but you're not right

          Their best on ground V North - Dangerfield, Enright, Selwood, Menzel, Taylor, Bartel
          Redpath can be a real weapon for us if he can kick goals as far out as he did V Port and go right over their defensive set up.
          Maybe inject some pace and youth into our forward line to use speed against their older players.

              I think Bevo seemed pleased to see how Biggs went in the forward line. Honeychurch's scoring and defensive game were both good forward.
              They will be all over the tape of the Port game. While I would love to see another week of lead, mark, goal, I don't think it will be as easy for Jack this time. Bailey Williams is another I would consider.

                the second game is always the hardest as Clay will pull up sore so they won't pick him this week. Jong will come in to go with Selwood and Dangerfield.

                  Forwards leading at the man with the ball is great if you can do it. Worked well this week and I wish Stringer and Toyd would do it more often. Our best converters do it, Redpath and Dickson. Coincidence? I don't believe in Coincidence
                  Dunkley, Dahl and Hamling out for Webb, Adams and Jong. Incredibly Clith is going to make it back sooner rather than later but after burning them off in the VFL (he only has an OFF/ON switch) he needs another week or two to consolidate his game sense.

                    You are absolutely right about pulling up sore. He needs a few games under his belt. There would be nothing worse than for him to come back too early, blow up and be a liability for the 2nd half or last quarter of a game.

                      'Nothing worse than'? It's Clay Smith. Without being bleak, I can think of worse.

                        Are we planning to do anything about Dangerfield?
                        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              Play Daniel on him and hurt Geelong the other way.

                                Well, let's look in the recent history of his career and see who negated him and why.
                                Exhibit A: Bernie Vince V Crows in 2015.


                                Dangerfield has come out and said he would love a hard tag every week if it meant his team would win. But his body language doesn't say so in this game.

                                It clearly got under his skin. look at him on the bench with his head in his hands. But at the end of the day, Melbourne lost this game. Be mindful of that.

                                It's possible to get under his skin. I've never seen any of our midfielders do this before.
