Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs North Melbourne 2021

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs North Melbourne 2021

Based on the press conference I would say it will be:

In: Wood

Out: Scott

I wouldn't be surprised if it was no change and Wood medical sub.

I'd rather Wood play another VFL game than have him sat there cold.

I’m backing in the Wood comes in for Scott. Then Scott will be the medical sub.

JJ, West and Buku keep playing. We will want to be 3.0 after this week. Once that is locked away I bet you that Bevo won’t be able to help himself. He will make changes the following two weeks and totally unsettle everyone and stuff up a perfectly good platform to launch the year.

I really hope I’m wrong, but as they say history repeats itself

I don't believe he ever does this and we can argue for pages and pages, but let's agree to disagree.

Half the fans will be screaming to play the likes of Sweet, West, Cavarra, Khamis, etc and if we do the other half will scream that he is messing with the team and making crazy selections. Can't win!

Not hearing much about Cordy are we?

Bevo mentioned him as starting to play some good footy in his presser, when talking about competition for spots.

I agree with this. I think its one thing to have a fabulous win against the WCE- hard fought, come from behind, type win. Good sides though will look at NM and eat them for breakfast. Are we a good side or have we just been in front for the last 2 weeks when the siren sounded. This week tells us as much about the players application and mental toughness - to do a job even when it should be easy - as the WCE win did.

Against a Collingwood with something to prove and a flag fancied West Coast. I'd say being in front at siren time against these two clubs implies we are a good side.

I think we're the only club other than Carlton to have played 2x 2020 finalists in the first 2 rounds?

100% correct.

Us= good
Carlton = still shit.

Way to make my night!

Are you sure? On the radio they told me five minutes into the second quarter of the first Thursday night of the season that Carlton were amazing and their fans should be really excited because of how amazing they are. Surely after that much exposed form they couldn't have been wrong!

Wallis & Lipinski out, Wood & JJ in.

I doubt anyone had those 2 as options.

There was certainly talk about Wallis but Lipinski? That's a head scratcher.

A forward and a mid out for 2 defenders. JJ must surely be going to play wing/forward?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs North Melbourne 2021

No surprise with Wallis. He needs to go back and find form.

Lipinski is unlucky, didn't think he had his best game v WCE but he was still OK. Wonder what the thinking is behind dropping a mid and a forward for two defenders? Scott or JJ could move up the ground, but I'm not sure Scott deserves another game in all honesty.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 3 Vs North Melbourne 2021

Anyone else get the sense that Lipinski gets a shorter leash than most?

I think that's a good idea - he's actually not a bad forward from the limited exposure he's had.

Wally was unfortunately well below par in the games so far this season. Wonder if the VC has had any effect?
