The only thing I'll give Scott West, is how the heck JJ survives based on the same criteria.

He'll likely be gone as soon as Williams is back.

West stunk it up last week so McNeil, who has done a much better job, comes back in.

FWIW I'm happy with the changes.

Are you happy with the structure of the team? I can’t say I am, and maybe it’s due it the injuries, but the team looks really unbalanced with several players going to have to play roles they don’t normal play or excel at.

Looks like Westy has come to his senses and deleted his comments.

Scott West having a mare going full footy dad, never go full footy dad.

Hopefully Riley is the injury sub to make his dad look like more of a tit.

Smarter move but he should give Bevo a call and clear the air.

Not a big thing, but the kids name is Rhylee.

This might just be one of those times where one squad selection blurs into the next, but I have a funny feeling last years squad for the Carlton game was one that seemed similarly unbalanced (think there was a distinct lack of talls in that case) and we got badly found out.

I am pretty nervous about this game.

I was just thinking that it feels like we’ve seen this before against Carlton. Third time’s a charm?

Given the last few encounters with Carlton there should be some nerves for today's game. We will need to play well.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8 Vs Carlton 2021

Like most I am worried about this game. Don’t mind the changes. Obviously still short down back so will require a real team effort to minimise the impact of Carlton’s talls particularly McKay. Pressure and turnovers up the ground are key to our success.

Lipinski needs to play a huge role today (and whilst Dunks is out). A big bodied midfielder that needs to throw his weight around. Also want to see more of MaCrae in and under dishing it out to Bont and Treloar.

Not really but don't think we can do much else.

I would have liked Young in to balance out that back 6. Buku is a ballsy move so don't mind that. It could sink us as well.

McNeil is a real handy in. I like him around our forward 50 and seems to work real both ways. West falls out there which is a kick in the teeth for the lad. JJ or Hannan could have been others to make way.

Sweet obviously comes in to cover Martin.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8 Vs Carlton 2021

Bevo, Turtle & Scott need to have a coffee and sort things out. A long time coach in the local league that the West kids play/played in has told me the youngest West is far and away the best of the four boys, at the same age. If in a few years we have a couple of his boys on the list, it’s in everyone’s interest to deal with this now.

To be fair, if that’s how you are going to spell your kid’s name, you deserve everything coming to you.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8 Vs Carlton 2021

What let Rhylee down was his undisciplined play. He didn’t play well, but then gave away the ball doing unnecessary things. Have a mare sure, but don’t let the side down with stupid stuff. Laith is sometimes in a similar boat.

West will get another turn, but gee, he wasn’t good and we’ve got someone who has been playing a role coming back.
