Always Right Match Committee R7 vs GWS 2025

[Happy Days]

Damn that sucks for McNeil. He’d just won everyone over and was firmly in the 22.

Yep, and every game he gets a steal/block/smother that leads to a goal that he gets no credit for.
VDM is fairly "like for like' though.

Really crap week to lose Darcy as Sam Taylor just doesn't get beaten. It might eb a case of keep Bont on the 50m line and manufacture a couple of long goals.

I have big concerns with GWS - Jesse Hogan is outstanding, Toby Greene is a grub but can play, and Darcy Jones has a bigger impact than his stats suggest. Can JJ stay with him? We may need to rotate HBs on him (JJ & Bramble)

Libba has proven pace to go with him just ask Brad Hill

If Harmes & VDM are deemed fit I reckon they are almost automatic ins. Maybe Hynes as sub.

Lobb & O’Donnell to stay back with option if moving one forward & swapping with Buku if we need to.

Buku to play forward & relief ruck. Thought he did ok as relief ruck vs Saints.

I would not move JOD, he looked great in the backline. He sure has some speed as well for a big man

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Following the injury report:

OUT: Darcy, McNeil (Hammy) and Hynes
IN: Harmes, VDM, Poulter

I would love Harmes as the second tall forward. He knows his way around the forward 50 and would absolutely stay away from Naughton and he has reg smarts to kick 6 goals. VDM in
is a boy as as he will bring the heat and happy to be at the feet of Naughts.

we don’t need passengers this week in the forward 50

Rusty any chance you can say your INs and OUTs?

[Happy Days]

Naughton’s clipped Taylor a couple of times. I actually think they might go with Buckley on him and try to free Taylor up to intercept.

[Rusty12]

Rusty any chance you can say your INs and OUTs?

In addition to, or just ins and outs instead of a team?

[azabob]

In addition to, or just ins and outs instead of a team?

In addition to. I love how you are breaking your team and thoughts down.

Sometimes it’s hard to pick the INs and OUTs.

One thing Bevo loves is a settled 23 and eventually we are going to need a second ruck who is bigger than Khamis.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ryan Gardner come in to play that 2nd forward/ruck role in the next few weeks.

I would be keeping JOD back and eventually Khamis will be the unlucky one.

Big call on an untried ruckman.

Gardner has been playing that role over the pre season and for mine is a better solution longer term than Khamis.

Lobb for a handful of CBAs for me, and Khamis around the ground will do. Not worth tanking a spot, for 20%, junk ruck time.
My only concern is Khamis or JOD at CBAs.
