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

Stoppage wise what do we do to change up the mix to get a better defensive balance?

I'd be ok with adding more Dunkley and Treloar and less Bontempelli. I think Marcus forward is such a weapon and I like the look of Libba, Macrae, Dunkley Martin.

Not saying don't have Marcus at stoppages but change the mix a bit. Thoughts? We can talk all want about the defence and forward line but it's clear to me where our major problem lies at the moment.

Yeah agree, I reckon with Bont its more about him getting just outside the contest, less grunt work rather than him starting forward.

He never looks like a significant marking threat permanent forward Bont but when you give him space to roam in the so-called striker role look out.

Treloar and Dunkley love to do things together lets get them in there to do some heavy lifting.

Yeah i like that idea.

Thinking centre bounce Bont forward more and he can push up and be the +1 at times around the stoppages. We need to try something unless we just think it's going to come good on it's own or with Stef back.

I'd prefer we mix it up.

Bont covers the entire ground, one minute he is in the centre, next he is up forward and then spoiling a mark in the backline.

I wouldn't change his role too much, just give him more help in the centre.

Time for Dunks to step up.

How do you propose that happens given he isn't seen as one of our first choice mids and attended less than 25% of centre bounce contests on Saturday?

By attending more centre bounces.

It's a tenuous theory im running here for sure. He just looked like he was trying to do everything himself last week and maybe it's a way to put the onus on others. I'm certainly not saying take him out of there for large periods. Just change the mix.

This was the centre bounce attendances v Hawks :

15 - Liberatore
12 - Bontempelli, English, Macrae
7 - Smith
6 - Young
5 - Dunkley
2 - Daniel, Treloar

If it was Dunks 8 Bont 7 something like that. I don't know to be honest really. I think though we get this right we are a big show and it's our main issue atm.

Treloar has to come in more too I think I'd drop down Baz for him.

I can think of one role in the centre bounce that needs filling...

At who's expense? You obviously want Bont in there so is it Libba or Macrae who spends more time in another role?

Treloar has to come in more too I think.

It's actually a different mix to what we were mostly running when Trunkley was out. Most weeks were going with a really limited rotation outside Bont, Macrae and Libba. It was mostly working but was also probably unsustainable. Seems now we are struggling to find the right mix.

I know who was in there, but that doesn't solve our problem.

One of our main midfielders (Bont, Libba or Macrae) needs to spend more time outside the centre square in order for Dunks to spend more time in there.. it's that simple.

Would you get Treloar in there more as well? Or just break glass if needed. I recall the Eagles game first time around and Treloar came in to the mix for the last quarter and really added a different element. I mean he's done it to a very high level for a very long time.

The issue is we have too many players we need to get into the middle who suck in other roles.

Bont is our best mid, but is also the best at playing another role as required... the rest aren't so adaptable and given they all don't defend if we don't get the game played on our terms we get opened up.

I forgot Roarke. I would have him there running with Amon.

Give me strength!

Have you forgotten our first goal in the 2016 Grand Final ? Forward defensive efforts pay off.
