Always Right Match Committee R14 vs St Kilda 2025

[Stevo]

Looks like
In: Darcy, Hynes
Out: Harmes, Gardner

Gaz confirmed these changes an hour earlier than this. His strike rate in recent weeks has been spot on.

I love watching Dolan but he does need to kick a couple of goals.

should be sub and let the two first gamers have a full run. I am not a fan of putting first year players as sub as they don't really impact a game when they come on. McNeil could impact in the last - unless there is an injury

In general yes, but Dolan is a freak who has actually done ok as sub. The kid just has "it" and I can't wait for him to get another pre-season or two under his belt.

Having said that, McNeill to sub. One of Dolan or Hynes as tactical sub out late in the game most likely, barring injury.

I'm pleased to see Hynes in, but where does he play? He's form in VFL has been on-ball rather than forward. Hopefully we see him with some centre bounce rotations this week.

It's nearly always one of the challenges when we promoted a combination forward or midfielder.

My observations in the VFL are that he is in accumulator when playing in the middle, probably most like Sanders. Being a bigger body, ultimately we'd like to see him with a bit more strength and explosion. Perhaps his better form has given him confidence to attack the ball and go for his marks, but I suspect he'll stay back and let the experienced guys get the ball first.

It would be interesting to know what the development coaches are focusing on for a player like him, as any first round pick should be a 200+ game player for the club.

A question for WOOFers

Is it fair to say our depth is being tested at the moment which is why 2 changes after a disappointing loss isn't really being questioned?

After missing a lot of football Treloar and Darcy are coming in over the last 2 weeks without any real form so might have slow starts.
Garcia and Scott have missed a lot with injuries.
Harmes and JJ out for the short term, Weightman and Ugle-Hagan haven't played.
Duryea stayed a season too long, Coffield can't get a lot of continuity with his footy and Naughton is well down on previous seasons.
Baker and Poulter can't grab their chances.

To quote Rod Stewart "tonight's the night".
First game back for a while, he'll be itching to ice the cake.

Well you made the prediction which is fair enough but then thought it was worth quoting yourself as being right when the team list came out!
I thought that was worth challenging so I appreciate the clarity.
At least we now have a better idea how you made that enlightened call

Stevo, if you care to look at the post responding to Aza - I explained it, I quoted myself because I was lazy to retype the names again. Not sure why you want to try and call me out - I don't get what you are trying to gain???

Next time I won't bother

Do me a favor Stevo, please let it go.
