Always Right Match Committee R14 vs St Kilda 2025

If Darcy plays there is no room for Khamis

Khamis > Naughton every game he has played this year.

Id find a spot for him.

Ha.
Thats simply not true. They play different roles anyway.

[Bornadog]

It looks like in Darcy, JJ and Hynes, out Gardner, McNeil and Dolan

Hope Hynes is ok after Saturday. Came off at around the 20min mark of the last quarter with a sore leg and it was packed in ice after the game.

Why can't we play Khamis with Darcy back? What's the difference if Naughton, Darcy and Jamarra were all playing? I actually like what Buku has been providing as a second ruck option and is quite versatile as a player and allows either Naughton or Buku to lead up to the wings as a marking option with big Darce closer to goals.

[Critter]

I don't mind it but you are one running defender light on. We nearly always always play 7.

What if Harmes were to play wing and Williams was the seventh defender? You could argue Jones or Busslinger but, to me, its a much stronger lineup than we've put on the field in recent times.

[Virgin-Dog]

I did that team before watching the vfl now after seeing that I’d say this is what I think we should more likely go with. If Hynes isn’t good to go then Poulter the sub

In Jones Darcy JJ Hynes
Out Gardner Bramble McNeil Cleary

B Freijah Jones Odonnell
HB Dale Lobb JJ
C Davidson Libba Williams
HF Kennedy Naughton Vandermeer
F West Darcy Buku
R English Bont Richards
I Treloar Sanders Dolan Harmes
Sub Hynes

Emg Busslinger Poulter Bramble

Slightly off topic, but does anything know a way to watch repeats of the VFL game if we miss it live? I missed both the AFL and VFL last weekend, and would like to go back and watch both

VanderMeer just did a Ginnavan by showing the footy in one of the drills.
The players had a laugh

[Mantis]

In: Jones, Darcy, Hynes, JJ

Out: Gardner, Cleary, McNeil, Treloar

- Gardner & McNeil go into the never again folder. Neither have attributes which could make them competent AFL players.
- Cleary doesn't play again until he adds 3-4kgs to his frame.
- Treloar doesn't play until he proves he can run.

[GVGjr]

While JJ has trained a bit with the main group today, when the contact work started he went over to the rehab area.

Um - if 7-Mate don't have them I think it's only highlights through the app.

[Bulldogs201616]

In Busslinger Darcy Hynes JJ
Out Gardner McNeil Buku (stiff but Darcy is back) Bramble

I wouldn't be confident that JJ is ready this week given he spent time in the rehab area today. Hopefully he is more likely than not but there is some doubt.

We can but I don’t think it works that well. 3 blokes that are relatively slow means rebounds quickly out if they aren’t marking it.
Buku gave us very little last Thursday, his goal was probably not even a mark but given that Chol got one similar, we can’t complain.

[Scott2016]

Bramble Mcniel and Gardner have to go. Cleary has made less stuff ups and deserves to keep going. Im a big Buss fan so i hope he gets a go. If people saying he has flaws, so has Gardner and we learned he hasnt come on over time. Hopefully Buss gets as much of an opportunity. Still seeing the forward line an issue even with Darcy back in. Im willing to roll the dice one more time and see if Liam Jones can play forward in the Buku roll. Second ruck will be an issue. Dont want Darcy or Lobb doing that as it takes them away from their main roles
