Always Right Match Committee R5 vs Brisbane 2025

I tend to agree, we all love JJ he's always going to be a Bullgod but geez, it's a risky move imo coming straight back in, bald move absolutely and a fit and firing JJ helps the side immensely.

if he isn't ready he wouldn't be playing simple as that.

3 changes. Cleary JJ and Hynes
Out Gags, Baker and Vandermeer.

So good to see Hynes making his debut, from the games VFL games i've watched he's played pretty well but certainly can have an impact in crucial moments, happy to see JJ back but at his age and his history of hammy's, bald move imo, i reckon he is crucial to our finals aspirations come September, have to feel for Jed Busslinger though seeing already two new draftees make a debut this year whilst he's been waiting patiently, he just seems very composed down back.

Khamis is the luckiest player on the list.

I've heard a bit of this and am told on tv he was 'horrible'.

At the venue he genuinely seemed fine - certainly covered for his back 6 mates on countless occasions...thought he played OK.

For anyone doubting the sun in the eyes thing, I was down that end and you basically couldn't see a thing...his opponent was bamboozled as well but had one great advantage - he was behind! So the Khamis error became his good fortune.

Anyway.

When Khamis comes into the team we're all surprised by his strengths, 2-3 games later everyone is frustrated by his weaknesses.

I think he's overall a positive as a 3rd tall type back and with JOD needed forward, Coffield never fit and Buss I guess marked for the FB role it's him or a runner (and we just dropped Gallagher from that role for a guy who, while good, has not played in nearly a year).

So I think Khamis is it for now (unless Jaques has a great next fortnight)

Really looking forward to seeing Hynes ply his craft but not sure that JJ justifies a straight in.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Interesting. JJ back with leadership and speed is perfect.

Haynes a nice replacement in the forward line and Cleary was good at the start of the year.

all in all we are in this up to our eyeballs and I have a sneaky feeling we get em this week

It's Hynes, more like hynem than the paint people and I'm excited.
A big bodied player that we lost in Dunkley.
Hope he gets a run.

I've cleaned up a couple contributions. Lets return the conversation back in line with the thread please.

[Stevo]

Is this a bit of a vote of non confidence in Gallagher? Rather roll the dice with JJ

It probably shows that from the MC's perspective Duryea is a step back behind a couple of others.

[Stevo]

Baker and Bont have to come in. Duryea or Gallagher for JJ.
