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

    Thoughts on whether we will be resting Martin during the H&A season, and whether we should have rested him in this game vs a hopeless side but with a gun ruckman?

      Another question - what does West have to do to get selected, and who might he replace?

        I can see why we persist with McNeil - his burst speed will become more of a weapon as his handling improves. Scott is lucky but I think he's being played out of position. I'd prefer him play as a forward/mid if we're going to pick him, so hopefully he gets a crack at the now vacant forward pocket role.

        If he has another quiet one, I imagine West is next one on the list.

          I’m not a huge fan of the inclusion of JJ AND Wood. They’re both defenders. Yes JJ can play up forward but he spent preseason playing defence correct? I’m assuming we will play him as a forward. In this case why haven’t we chosen a forward like Weightman, West or Cavarra to replace Wallis? I hope this isn’t simply picking JJ because he’s JJ.

            I'm guessing that's what we'll see, scott going forward, maybe Dale forward. Curious to see both Lapinski and Wallis dropped. Maybe there is an injury there?

                A forward and a mid out for 2 defenders. JJ must surely be going to play wing/forward?
                That's the head scratching bit.....is Bailey Dale going forward? A bit disappointed with this. I would have thought that Wally had some more credits, but he isn't even in the emergencies

                  Honestly I'm fine with Dale forward, has shown he can kick bags when his having a good year.

                    Wallis hasn't hit the scoreboard in any of the competitive games against opposition apart from the Hawks, and he completely butchered two relatively easy opportunities in front of goal Sunday. Which would be OK, if he'd have hit the scoreboard in previous matches.

                    He's an opportunistic forward and if he's not able to generate opportunities or convert them then someone else should get a turn to do so. I reckon we'll see Scott and Hunter forward, JJ to a wing and Wood in defence.

                      He's actually shown he can be elite as a forward.....just not for enough weeks in a row.

                        I don’t like Hunter coward at all, I would rather have Daniel and Dale forward as I think they both would impact and Dale would enjoy playing with these rules and the quicker ball movement. He has good leading pattens and repeat efforts to get shots on goal

                        Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                          Yeah it's a big no from me with Hunter forward too. He is another that seems to hate trying to kick a goal.

                              Hunter on HFF playing almost wing to HFF works, but maybe not deeper.

                                I would have thought we would pick a side to bolster our percentage. I must be short-sighted.
