Re: Match Committee - Round 21, 2017 vs GWS Giants
Webb was I recall playing in forward half week prior and only played back to cover for Wood and JJ out?
Would really like the kid to have a decent run at it as his disposal is good. Play him in centre and/or forward half not backline.
Also to bring in 3 players all from injury in 1 week plus Murphy who only played on weekend coz JJ late out plus 6 day break again is not wise. So for me:
in: Stringer or Dickson and JJ
out: Wood and Murphy rested.
Tempted to bring in Roberts and omitt Smith (love him, one of my faves but appears to be slower - hopefully a conditioning issue which can be addressed in off-season). Hope Honey has another go too before end of year now he is right to go, but perhaps not this week unless one of our midfielders or wingers is sore.

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.

Woods injury is a massive set back. It really has messed with our overall team balance. Other than Bontempelli probably the player we least can affoard to lose, also coupled with no Morris is huge.
With Toby Greene to come back in and Patton likely we need to bring in Roberts or Collins with Young to be the third tall.
I really hope Roberts can discover some form as Lewis Young is looking tired and I don't think he's ready for finals type intensity yet.
If fit JJ, Stringer and Dickson should come straight back in.
At this stage I'm looking at
IN- Roberts, JJ, Dickson, Stringer
OUT - Wood, Webb, Smith, Cloke or Redpath

Redpath's conversion was poor. Should have kicked 3-4 goals given his opportunities
He kicked 3.4 and at least 2 were from 50. You would hope for better but if it was 3.2 and two kicks to the top of the goalsquare, would it be an issue?

The 2 x 6 day breaks thing is a reason to bring in more players IMO, not less. Giving Webb another go as a forward might be an idea if it were for Smith or Dale, but Stringer & Dickson are too important and valuable. Even a good game from Webb v Brisbane may not have been enough to keep him in with the players returning from injury
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
