Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

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

Replaying the game in my head (I won’t watch it), we lacked genuine leading options. Marra does that really well and has the pace to burn off his opponent. Plus Derm says the best ‘Shimmy Step’ TM.

I like that wide Cody & Naughton to lead too. Creates space for others. Hannan is not doing that. I get he’s more physical than Marra, but Marra can actually hit the scoreboard and has some X factor, plus lead really well. I’m prepared to accept the drawbacks of swapping out Hannan, for the benefits.

At this stage of his development, Marra is the third tall forward. With Silver Fox Stef back, Naughty and Tim become the first two, thereby making Marra harder to match up. Bevo has never been one to discriminate on age in the past. Is Marra ready to tear it apart? It would be so wonderful if he was.

One way to find out.

Publically questioning his selection then selecting him is even more of a Beveridge move than cutting your own hair

And then actually playing him as a half back flanker!

Lots of time to think about how I'd like us to line up tomorrow night and I think this team gives us the best chance to be successful both tomorrow night and then in the finals... assuming all are fit & healthy.

B: Schache, Keath, Williams
HB: Dale, Gardner, Duyrea
C: Treloar, Dunkley, R.Smith
HF: Hunter, Naughton, Bont
F: Weightman, English, JUH
R: Martin, Macrae, Libba

Int: B.Smith, Richards, Daniel, Garcia
Sub: Young (mainly as cover for Martin)

In: Gardner, Schache, Martin, Richards, R.Smith, JUH

Out: Cordy, Wood, Young, JJ, Hannan, Vandermeer

The last 2 spots in the forwardline who I've assigned to JUH & Garcia could easily be filled by any of Hannan, JJ & VDM.

I'm pretty strong on this defensive mix being our best in terms of both defending and attacking... I don't want Cordy or Wood in the team as they don't offer the skill set we need to play our best footy.

Well thought out Mantis & I agree with you. Like that you’ve got R.Smith in the side.

I don't mind the team - I just cannot see Wood not being selected. I cannot see Cordy not being selected. These guys have - with the exception of the pre- West Coast version of the team which rolled without Cordy - always played when they are available (and not just this year).

I think the backs will be Gardner, Cordy, Keath, Williams, Dale, Duryea and Daniel.
Martin to ruck with support from English.
Outside mids: Hunter, B. Smith and R. Smith.
Inside mids: Bont, Macrae, Dunks and Liber with Treloar rolling inside and outside.
Forwards - only room for 5 which is not great: Naughton, Weightman and JJ will get picked...then it gets pretty interesting. I think he picks Wallis and Garcia but I could be easily talked into Jamarra, Richards or VDM...I just don't see Schache being selected.

I agree that Young presents as the ideal sub.

I think Mantis put up what he would like to see and you have put up what will actually happen.

Wallis in may be an interesting one.

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

A bit like Richards since his emergence Vandermeer has almost always been picked, I'd be surprised if he was dropped especially after we only just got him back in.

I don't disagree that Lachie will likely play. I just have a feeling we are about to select Wallis and had to leave out one of two seemingly favourite sons in Garcia and Vander.

Cordy didn't play until Rd.6 this year and I'm pretty sure he was available at the time.. he just wasn't selected with Gardner & Keath as our talls. I feel Schache offers much more offensively than Cordy hence he gets picked... both aren't great defensively.

Wood's ball use counts him out and I'd much prefer Richards to play in his role as he is good in the air and offers much better run & carry. I don't want Richards playing as a forward.

Agree that the forward-line is a shit show.. just throw the names of the 6 or 7 players in a hat and the first 3 pulled out play.

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

I'd prefer Wood to Cordy with a full compliment.

His ability to play on a small, closing speed and aerial ability I think are a unique pod.

If Gardner is fit, then Cordy is out for me.

Garcia is going to be ok, in the next few years, but I don't think he should be picked.

I thought Gardner was injured vs West Coast and Cordy came in the next week? Did I get that wrong? Basically I'm agreeing with you agreeing with me that Gardner was prefered to Cordy earlier this year! :-)

That wasn't the question I was trying to answer!
