Always Right Match Committee R9 vs Gold Coast 2025

[Scott2016]

Davidson has a very learnt kicking technique, you can tell he has a process. I think the wind would do that no favours. I think it's something track watchers were pointing out early (his kicking). I wouldn't be dropping him, like, ever.

I wouldnt be dropping him but he needs to kick the ball longer and avoid kicking short. Handball 15 metres instead of kicking

I think that's it. I've got a feeling he's got the same voice in his head that coaches used to drill into me all the time "take a steadying step before you kick it, no point running flat out just to shank the kick". That was burned into my brain in my playing days. He looks as though he takes that steadying step after a burst, but almost slows too much and loses power / drive into the kick. Maybe someone with a sports mechanics background could study it. He kicks fine when he's coming off a mark, or isn't moving at pace. His 3 or 4 shanks on the weekend were all after taking 10-15m long bursts I reckon watching it from the ground.

I thought Buss had earned an extended stint in the side after the GWS game but I'm now thinking that Bevo is liking the two key back set up, he can always swing Williams back if he wants.

If you look at the game just gone, McNeil had more of an impact than Buss likely would have if McNeil was the sub instead.

I just can't see who gets dropped so I think it's quite likely Buss leaves the 23 and someone like Poulter or Baker is the sub.

[Critter]

My opinion is that currently we have only two effective wingmen - Sam Davidson and Bailey Williams. There is no way I would be dropping Davidson. He has all the traits of an effective wingman - pace; hard, two-way running; strong attack on the ball; and the ability to switch quickly between attack and defence. Other contenders for the role - Baker, Treloar, Poulter, Sanders - don't have the full artillery in this role.

I also believe that Lobb, Buss and JOD all need to play. Hardwick has a thing for tall forwards, so I expect Walter, King & Read will all play, as will Mac Andrew and Sam Collins down back. We need to be able to compete in the ai

The weather forecast is for no rain but, as always, the ball will be slippery. I think this will play havoc with Vandermeer's ball handling capabilities so I reckon McNeill should play and VDM should be sub.

I wasn’t at the game but thought Williams was down back and Harmes on a wing. I really like Davidson. His disposal is neat rather than penetrating so might have suffered more than others with the wind. He sure does run hard.

[Critter]

I wasn't there either and my understanding also was that Williams started down back. But that's part of the week by week selection with Williams. His start position on the whiteboard is wing but when the opposition lineup is factored in, he sometimes moves to a position of greater need. Davidson has pretty much lined up on the wing all year and, yes, he runs very hard.

Out: Busslinger
In: Arty Jones (to be the sub)

Given the location up in Darwin and the conditions, plus the opponent and the opening of Bont's Milkbar, all signs point to Arthur.

I am onboard with this view.

Surely we reward form in the vfl and Poulter gets a crack.

Do we trusted Artie to get able to play the intense style of football we now play?

Not sure he's good enough defensively.

From the VFL replay I thought he was the most involved I have seen.

The conditions shouldn't hurt his strengths.

Arty was excellent in the VFL this week. Poulter, Baker, Gallagher and Scott continue to also do their chances no harm.

Agree, a change in sub is the only change.
