Word is Libba is in real doubt for this week. If so, Webb is likely to get his chance as an inside midfielder.

Clay Smith must not play next week.

Smith needs a spell, miles off the pace.

We missed his defensive pressure, he seemed very slow. Not sure if dropping him to the VFL would help, or he just needs match fitness

Where have you heard the word from?

He gave us nothing offensively which was my major gripe.

And I don't think it's just the concussion

Wallis can't come in.. Let him get some miles in his legs & play against a proper team.

It might be tempting to do so but I'd wait at least one more week but preferably two more weeks.

Will Wally be named. Im thinking maybe another week or so. Played very well on Friday night in the VFL.

Please explain?

Re: Match Committee - Round 7, 2017 vs Richmond

Would be good to see Webby given a call up. The reports I've read from the VFLhave been very positive. How far away is Morris?

Pauline, he's been down on possession numbers for a couple of weeks and while that isn't always a strong indicator he hasn't appeared to be getting to as many contests late in games either. That would indicate he might have a few niggles that are being managed.

Still he is a Liberatore and might shake things off quickly.

Morris would be 3 weeks away if not 4.

Webby has been in good form but I think it's fair to say he has come into the seniors in good form last year and struggled to make an impact. I'd certainly give him a great chance to be selected though.

Will be a huge addition to our already hard working defence.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7, 2017 vs Richmond

With the Tigers smaller forward line, I would consider Zaine or Fletch up forward at times. Adams would be more suited to it, however I feel he is needed against Jack Riewoldt.

Dunks and Jong will hopefully help us compete against Rance aerially.

I mentioned it last week, the issue with playing Webb is he needs lots of time in the middle to add value. He isn't just another runner. I see him hopefully going from VFL to real AFL quality rather than the more common progression of adding more bit by bit at AFL level.

Re: Match Committee - Round 7, 2017 vs Richmond

We could give Webb til the bye if he can hold his place and if the numbers don't stack up maybe he becomes surplus at years end.
