Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

Hasn't played well the whole year. Should have been dropped a few weeks ago.

Agree BD. The Mumford tackle was big but Tom's form was waning before the GWS game. Nice reasoning for those outside the Club to refer to but not accurate and probably time to send Tom back to find some form i'm afraid.

Also feel that the Toby dropping was about due. As much as I like him he just hasn't risen to the next level and seems to be coasting too often. He should be in our bests given the talent at his disposal but is just not commanding it.

Anyone else think Boyd's 'shoulder injury' is possibly an omission in disguise?

Yeah it's what I thought when I heard the teams on SEN on the way home.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

I don't see the coaching staff being honest about their thoughts on Boyd's form last year, omitting players due to form and being open about it, but all of a sudden giving him an excuse this week.

McLean's not kicking the footy, Libba hasn't been either. Piling on the handballs doesn't cut it and would be a big reason why they're out of the team, it smacks of not running hard enough, getting into space and being an option.

5 premiership players out of the team.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

do not understand why you would recall Cloke and not Roughead if fit.

Roughead is not match fit at this stage, whereas Cloke is even though he missed a few weeks. Roughead will get his chance, and it is better to ease him into the team.

No doubt Roughead will be (or should be) back next week.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

I must say i really like the fact the match committee stuck fat with Webb and Dale for another week. We really need to see what these kids can do this year(3rd year players I doubt anyone knows if they are AFL players or not yet) and a Friday night game against good opposition is another great development opportunity. They both are pretty solid by foot something we have been seriously lacking for a while now so do provide a point of difference particularly with a leading Dickson and Redpath back in the team. Here's hoping they have a break out game.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

Libba isn't performing at best 22 levels and was our WOG last week. If we're going off current form, Webb/Williams/Dale are all ahead of him (existing credits not withstanding).

Agree, also had a chuckle at the acronym/double meaning!!

Why the *!*!*!*! do we have to play geeling after 3 losses and they are opening the new stand ??
Why wasn't Dangerfield tagged as well as Selwood .. It's proven you stop them you beat Geelong .. FFS
I'm pissed off at our coaches game plan tonight.
Don't usually comment after a loss but this one really irks me.

Re: Match Committee - Round 9, 2017 vs Geelong

Who would have tagged Danger or Selwood?

Picken? I'm 100% convinced he has not been right since his concussion.

Who else?

Couldn't agree more.....must be close to being dropped, along with Hunter.

Picken ended up with 20 disposals and 7 tackles. Whilst he was poor in the first half, I thought he was good in the second half.

You're right....his second half was much better but he is really struggling to impact games. He needs to be more than just a link player.

He had 4 kicks... For a player who plays on the flanks/ wing that isn't good enough.
