Always Right Match Committee R3 vs Carlton 2025

[Bornadog]

It would be exciting to see Croft debut. He certainly offers a point of difference with his height and run.

Williams to stay back. Bring in Jones and drop Duyrea .i would keep Buku in as an intercept defender. Maybe too tall down back but we need cover if Jones struggles with fitness.

Buku could play on Silvagni who is 194cm.

They'll have either Silvani or Kemp down there. I'd prefer to go Lobb, Jones, and JOD/Khamis in defence with the smalls around them.

[MrMahatma]

I think Bevo has shown he prefers JOD over Buku. I guess he sees more in the medium/long term in JOD. I'd expect him to come in. It's a decent set of talls back there with Jones, Lobb & JOD.

I also think Croft will get the nod. We're going to be tall.

IN: Jones, JOD, Croft.
Out: Buku, Baker, A Jones.

Williams and Croft will play higher up on the wings and Jones & JOD to the backline.

In your lineup, where does Davidson play? Does he move forward as a third tall or do the three of Williams, Croft and Davidson share the wing duties?

We always have at least 3 players sharing wing duties.

[JackCJohnston2000]

We always have at least 3 players sharing wing duties.

But usually it's 2 main guys and a couple others play short stints there. Whereas playing Williams, Croft and Davidson on the wing would be playing 3 genuine wingers in a game which I don't think we've done before.

In that case I would expect Croft to be the extra given he's fairly inexperienced on the wing and has played the vast majority of his footy forward. I certainly wouldn't describe him as a genuine winger at this stage. Davidson has played almost exclusively on the wing in his first 2 games so doubt we will change that.

Chances are of course that Croft doesn't debut but I hope we see him at senior level soon.

IN: Jones, JOD, Croft.
Out: Buku, Baker, A Jones.

Dropping Buku would be a poor reward for a pretty good game against the Pies. I am not sure we would do that.

I would think Croft is a forward/Ruck or we swing him back when required. He played wing in some match sims when he was coming back from injury in the preseason.

It would but he probably only came in due to the injuries we had so when they return it seems likely he’ll make way… which is unfortunate as I too thought he was solid last Friday..

[Garbs_7]

Really interested to see who missed out of the JOD / Buku pairing or if one goes fwd?

Can see Baker getting a full game this week, maybe Dolan has his turn as sub. Poulter knocking on the door also for a HFF spot if one is available.

I think you're one running back man light on there Mat. 4 taller defenders are a bit unlikely unless you have JOD playing some time forward or Freijah playing in the back line.
Despite his concerning form line Duryea has to play doesn't he?

Duyrea has to play; he has been poor but has the credits in the bank.
At least until Freijah goes back or Jaques is ready.

I see this differently. Freijah ain’t never not ever going back. If he does, it’s an admission of failure. He’s a midfielder.

Doc had his warning last year, time has not given him a get out of jail card. He cost us dearly last week. Time to move on. Khamis, Bramble, Dale & Gallagher can do the job.
