No Cody is a huge blow.

I'm gonna prefer to be glass half full and go a good to go Bont is a huge relief. We can win without Cody... I'm not so sure about that if Bont misses.

A badly bruised knee can be really hard to walk on for a few days, let alone run. He’ll play but probably won’t train.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3

I really can't remember too many times that he has 'indiscriminately crashed' a pack and stuffed up Naughton or others. Obviously you've seen it happen and its stuck with you. I'll look out for it in future. I would say that Bruce being out means that it is incumbent upon him to compete in the air. He's played 15 games this season - so its not like he just came into the side and the goal kicking of Naughton and Bruce dropped off. I think if he was doing that, the coaches have had ample opportunity to drop him.

You need your role players, and Hannan is one of those.

I want to see him take contested marks, I have seen a couple. And running past to receive at speed, I remember a good one from JUH. My biggest problem with the forwards though is they are not spreading to open up the defenders so they can’t form packs. That’s been a consistent problem in the last half of the season as the entries into the forward fifty have moved wider and their contribution has dropped.

We drew even in the 2nd half without Cody…but he is a big loss.

Assuming JJ is straight in, is it out of Richards, Garcia & Scott for the sub?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3

The new concussion rule gives an extra legup to the top 4 teams who win week 1. Any concussions would be available for the prelim and the teams they play have an extra game to lose someone. I’m fine with giving those team an extra advantage but it shows what we’ve blown by losing a top 4 spot.

But like 2016, one out one in. JJ/Richards/Wally. Time to step up. We’re gonna need our mids to kick a few.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3

If he is fit I’d love to see Richards in side or as sub.

If Richards comes in, his best position is HBF, but who does he displace there?

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3

Given there's no structural damage I'd like someone to try and stop him playing.

Yeah he's clearly playing....if he was in any doubt the messaging would be as conservative as possible until as late as possible.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 3

My guess
In- JJ
Out- Cody
Sub: Scott

JJ showed some good inside grunt in the game.
I saw Bevo encouraging him on the bench, and his tail looks up.
Happy to have him in.

Yeah his vibe before he came on looked good. Not passive. We need that again this week.

Could Rhylee West be the one to come in for Weightman?

He was an emg for the first final.

No Cody and Bont on 1 leg.
