Never change Bevo.

If he was properly trolling, Roarke Smith would have been an in.

Sheesh-kicks clutch goal, just start to find yourself adjusting to pace of game and dropped. Thought La Young showed a few good things.

So glad Toby is in.

Good Lloyd has another go-x fingers he kicks straight.

Come on Billy - kick a bag son!!!

Reckon Tim might be a late out with Sweet and Trengove on bench. Love to see Trengove get a call up. Versatile big man-gives his all.

Geez Young isn't setting the world on fire but still think he's pretty stiff to miss this week.

Gowers is extremely lucky, don't like him in there but it is what it is. I would have had one of Lloyd or Gowers in and not both as they're playing the same position.

Great to see McLean back in.

Would have been a good week to drop Gowers and bring Sweet or Trengove in, and Timmy play a large %, forward to really stretch Richmond.

Suckers lucky.
Billy was always a lock

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 9 Vs Richmond 2020

Got a feeling Gowers' brain fade actually lead to him getting picked again this week. Ironic.

Suckers has to play up the field. Terrible inside 50.

Thought Bevo may have put Gardner down back seeing it is going so well down there.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 9 Vs Richmond 2020

I get that if we dropped Gowers it probably would have done in his confidence forever, but please let this be his last chance.

What would he play like then if he lost confidence? that would be a must see. WOOF would be in melt down.

Does the match committee EVER intend to give Trengove, Sweet or Lewis Young ANY opportunity ? Their apparent disdain for these players is bewildering.

Their chances will come. If we keep winning the MC is essentially making the right calls although we can still debate the merits on if they can be improved.

Really interested to see our match-ups against the Tigers

I thought Trengove did an awesome job on Lynch last year so thought if any game it’d be this game he came in for. Alex Keath has changed the role Trengove can play IMO devaluing him to a ruck only - in which place he seems to sit 3rd with his ability to cover the ground.

I’m like others here in thinking Young is stiff but there is surely some list management tactics which need to be employed over the next 20 days for us to play 4 matches so I assume they are lining up A, B and C lists which is the only explanation I can see for suckling and Gowers playing againx

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 9 Vs Richmond 2020

One player interview mentioned how Gowers works really hard to constantly present, that must have saved him. Schache would have been in otherwise (if not for concussion) as we know Schache covers serious ground.

I think we're missing a trick by not playing Young in some capacity, particularly up forward with Naughton injured and Schache a pariah. We trained him forward all pre-season, played him there in the pre-season games and then...nothing. Now it sounds like he's back in defence in the scratchies.

Playing him forward provides 2 benefits. Takes the load of Bruce and it allows us to give English a chop out or push him deeper forward to stretch the defence while Young has a brief run on ball (similar to how Oscar Allen and Natanui work in tandem).
