Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

We have been beaten in the centre nearly every game since Dunkley and Treloar came back in; something is not right. We have the best midfield on paper and the opposition are using that paper to wipe their collective butts.

Hannan has to go; so does JJ. Young stays and goes in to the backline. Cordy goes forward. Wallis comes in as does Sweet (if Martin is unfit). If Gardiner is allowed to play, he takes Young/Cordy’s place.

I’d also bring JUH back in, so possibly Cordy and Young out for Gardiner and JUH

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

They haven't dropped JJ or Hannan all season so Bevo isn't going to start now.

Cordy will get rubbed out for a week for his tackle so that is something to think about.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

We need forwards urgently. So English goes forward. We bring in Martin to ruck, if he is not right it’s Sweet

JUH comes in and Wallis if fit as well

Outs: JJ, Hannan and Cordy

Young goes back for Cordy. Then can pitch in the ruck. I think this gives us a better balance, you can’t continue to post back flankers in the Forward 50

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

Out: JJ, Hannan
In: Bedendo, hayes

It won’t happen, but why not…it won’t matter anyway.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

This is the team I want next week
In : Wallis, Richards , Gardner
Out : Cody ( suspension ) , JJ , Hannan( offered nothing today ), wood

Young to Ruck for the whole game
Wallis plays fwd, last game before we trade him
Richards at half back

JJ is done
Hannan I had my doubts on his effectiveness when midfield is shot and today confirmed it

I'm guessing you're a fan of Modest Mouse's album 'Good News for people who love bad news'...
I know today was shit.. but come on.... reign it in....we're not entitled to anything. We're in a bind right now, but even through out the good times, you seem to look for the cloud that may come to ruin it all.
We've got 1 game to go. high stakes stuff.. If we beat Port, and Geelong lose to Melbourne we finish second... If Geelong win we finish 3rd... Even if we lose, we're still a good chance to finish top 4.

As disappointed, sulky (ask my kids this evening!) and angry as I am, I refuse to submit to negativity and stop doing anything other than willing and backing our guys in.

Hang on a second..my post was a tongue in cheek…drop 2 players who won’t be dropped and bring in 2 players who are the only guys to not get a game. I said it won’t happen anyway. And I’m not sure what your “reign it in” refers to. Sounds like you’ve only read my posts today and ignored the majority on here.

I’m sick to death to being pinpointed as the only “negative Nellie” on here. Read thru the game day post, or the “can we make it” thread over today and point out others…not just me thanks.

No wonder I feel like just F’ing off and be done with it.

Play everyone in the list in one season. Nice touch.

Apologies. I did know this was tongue in cheek. Perhaps it is the cumulative effect of reading the whole diaspora of super negative posts here tonight, not just from you. I probably shouldn't have caught up on them. I guess I hoped that there'd be some erudite and positive minded poster on here who would make me feel better about our chances after the rubbish we served out.
I should not have let my lack of finding that result in a post aimed at you. I'm sorry DG.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

The MC have themselves in a real pickle now.. They've sunk games into Dunkley, Treload and now Vandermeer with zero VFL matches behind them.... I know there were no VFL matches to be played...

I think we have to stick with Dunks and Treloar, but Vandermeer's selection really puzzled me.... For me, he's not yet an automatic selection... unlike Dunks and Treloar... I am not sure if it's worth sticking with him next week. I think I'd have preferred us to give McNeil a go before him.

It's our midfield that is the elephant in the room. It's been our one wood.. the thing that has enabled us to mask deficiencies in other areas of the ground, but it's now dysfunctional these past two weeks.
We don't have any great midfield option to bring back in.

Our forward line wasn't the issue today, apart from the usual problems in front of goals. Unlike last week though, where we murdered a plethora of chances, this week it was a lack of supply.
I can't remember a game this year where we've had less inside 50's. Our mids have got to own this, and given there aren't any serious option to replace Bailey Smith (our most out of form mid), the challenge simply has to be thrown to them to respond.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

We’ve got too many pure mids playing, don’t have a genuine ruckman, essentially 1 natural forward (Weightman) and 1 decent key defender. The side is out of balance and now sadly out of form at the worst possible time. We’ve completely *!*!*!*!ed our season within 7 days.

Okay. So group apology now. Sorry to all that my emotive and hurtful post seems to have lessened our group further. I'll have to reflect. I enjoy this community and hate to think I'm responsible for shrinking it
It's been a challenging day.
