He had company, that is for sure.

Yeah but most of his company has runs on the board. He doesn't. At the moment he's too good for VFL, not good enough for AFL

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

Lay off Jake, he tried to make things happen through the middle. Bailey Williams best game. Libbas an aberration, hunter too but one game wont define them. Jong out, out of the list. Wood in. Stevo in. Roberts out, good back up player.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

for mine Campbell is a much better player than Roughead

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

If we don't play TBoyd I'll scream. We're paying a talented young kid a million a year to play VFL. There's some players you just need to pump games into and he's at the top of the list. I don't care if it means we play all of TC/Roughy/Redpath too, or one is dropped, but Boyd must play.

While I get what you are saying I think he needed at least 2 games at Footscray to make sure he has at least some touch. I think it possibly does get to the point that we might need to give him an extended run at it.

Wood if he's fit (obviously) and ditto Stevens. Webb and Clay should be considered.

Possible outs include Dunkley, Williams, Jong, Roberts, Redpath/Roughy.

Stevens might be a hard inclusion due to the length he's been on the sideline.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

JJ will play in the VFL after the bye. Confirmed it today

I had a chat to him recently and he has been ready for awhile. They have been ultra conservative with him.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

Am I the only one who thought Jong was in our best half dozen tonight?

Dunkley needs to go back to the VFL. Roughy started well but faded badly.

I'll have to wait until we see who is ready to go. Am praying Boyd earns a promotion tomorrow.

No you're not the only one who rated Jong's game.
I am admittedly not a Jong fan - but he played his best game for the year. Had 20 and a goal, 7 tackles. Had some really good moments.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

Jong wasn't the worst by a long shot . Williams was ok and stays in for mine. Omitting Stringer is absurd.
Wood in for Dunkley.

No, you are not. Folks seem to have the radar on for fringe players making mistakes and forgive clangers from our stars. Thought he got better as game progressed and at least provided an OK marking target and some woefully missing energy and tackling efforts from midfield crew.

Great shot of the deltoid there clearly showing the acromium process, with pennant head of the deltoid attached to it.
Ready for action!

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

Ins: Wood and Boyd
Outs: Dunkley and Roberts

With Wood back I'd like Suckling released to play a higher role. I'd like Roughie to go back to full back with Roberts out, althoiugh this won't be as critical with Tippett out.

I'm convinced Campbell is a better ruckman than Roughie and Roughie is a better key back than Roberts. Roughie is an ok mark but it doesn't matter, he doesn't really hurt you by getting into dangerous positions and he can't kick.

Boyd to play forward / second ruck. How much ruck time can Campbell carry?

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 2016 vs Sydney Swans

Wood and Tom Boyd in looks obvious, as does Dunkley out.

Not sure who is the 2nd out. As 1eyedog has suggested, I think it is out of Campbell, Roughy and Roberts.

Maybe we go with Roughy / Tom Boyd as two 2nd ruck options, allowing us flexibility of extra tall forward or defender. Wood coming back helps us aerially. Forget raw height, Wood is clearly as a better 'tall' defender option than Roberts.
