Good to keep getting games into Daniel, McLean, Williams, Dunkley. They're four players who will only get better and we know we have something with all four of them.

Williams can also play on a wing, Murphy seems to be playing better football this year as a forward.

The big worry is Matty Boyd - we haven't won a game with Bevo as coach with Matty Boyd out.

I wonder why Dale was taken ahead of Webb

What would be your suggestion?

Re: Match Committee - Round 6, 2017 vs GWS Giants

if that was the case they would be taking 24 or 25!

Because they only have 23 it means 2 of Dale, Daniel and Williams are playing!

You're right. It doesn't add up properly otherwise.

I think!

Must be looking for some outside polish or run and carry. I'd suggest we're playing enough flankers and would've preferred a genuine mid though.

Without knowing how guys are rated internally, it's hard not to feel for Lukas. Seems to be overlooked pretty regularly while being one of Footscray's most consistent performers.

Bevo said in his presser that Webb is inside mid and we have a glut of them, however with if he continues his good form in the VFL he will get a chance to be promoted.

I find this interesting as I reckon we've missed some inside grunt with Libba being a bit down compared to last year. Clearly MC grading our inside midfielders on other things I do not pick up e.g. defensive pressure on oppo mids.

Re: Match Committee - Round 6, 2017 vs GWS Giants

Looking like Matty Boyd out, guessing Caleb in and Williams for Biggs

A big cigar for BAD....that's exactly what's happened. And perhaps if Dunkley is sore then Dale will play.

That or we are just bereft of finishers atm.

Happy to see Williams included - think he could be a real gem.

I get Libba has been a bit down but I don't think it's as bad as some as making out.

1st in the league for tackles and 12th for contested possessions. Rate both stats a lot more than finding it 30 times a week.

A bit has to do with pace as well.

Outside players have to be either extremely (like elite level) clever, or unbelievably fast as space closes up so quickly. We don't have anyone on our list that is both of these things.

Yes we do Lynch and he can't be far off getting his opportunity.

I haven't seen enough of him to determine whether he's elite clever mate.

Spending so much time on a forward flank is definitely another reason his disposal numbers are down. With Dale in and our clearance work being pretty average lately, I'm hoping it means he'll spend more time in the guts.
