Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1

I'm glass half full. All this talk of a big risk selecting Martin but my feeling is, given our deplorable ruck situation, we are actually taking a bigger risk not selecting him.

I have heard, not looking good.

You've heard that Martin won't be selected?

Very unlikely, but who know with Bevo.

I'd select Martin and have Schache as medi sub. If Martin is struggling pull a shifty injury sub saying his shoulder or groin is playing up.

If Schache comes in to play the third tall in defence then it only makes sense that Easton Wood is out.

Will just a squad be announced tonight extending our angst?

I think so. Depends who has flown to Tassie too.

Yeah...but what if we lose someone at the first bounce and the medi sub is needed straight away.

I get what you are saying but if we are planning to use a 'SUBSTITUTE' for a 'set rotation', well...nothing else had better go wrong. If I was coaching I just wouldn't like this idea.

Nothing worse than having to play one down for real halfway through the first quarter.

I think we have enough mid sized players to cover a mid injury but if a tall goes down we would be trouble. Schache makes sense imo either way

That's a very good point. Based on that I wouldn't do it either.

I see the Stef medi-sub thinking but he seems to have a legit issue with even getting to contests. Do do get him a scooter as well?

Can we get 2 for 1 and give the other to Zaine?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1

I heard that the whole squad, minus Bruce were all coming down…as they’ve been told they won’t be going home til they literally lose..so could be 5 weeks away from Vic.

Brilliant idea.
