Always Right Match Committee Round One v Melbourne at the G

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round One v Melbourne at the G

Are there two guys on our list who are worse forwards than Cordy and Martin? I mean, the last set shot Keith took he almost missed his foot, but I struggle to think of 2 blokes who are less likely to actually take a mark up there - and therefore, 2 guys the Dees would be less worried about.

I reckon, if the grand plan is for Schache to play as a defender, then he should play there. I don't love robbing peter to pay paul and reckon getting a settled backline is important for the rest of the season.

Why Cordy is in ahead of JUH is probably the question I have. Cordy has 0 upside and what we get is going to be, well... average at best. JUH has loads of upside and he can actually lead and mark well. If we were to have one late change, I'd love to see Cordy out for JUH.

I suspect JUH's covid recovery is the main factor. He'll probably play a few VFL games before getting his chance.
I do feel like once he earns his second chance he'll be better equipped to stay in the side.

I reckon Covid / underdone. 75 percent having it is huge isn't it.

From experience in the PL some players take a lot longer to recover. But I think that was mainly pre vaccinations.

Alan Saint-Maximin for Newcastle was out for 3 months I think last season.

Edit : hey I just cracked the hall of fame.

Me and Bevo in the same year!

Congratulations!

If Cordy plays fwd he will be lucky to get 5 possessions for the game. Why is he even selected? Just goes to show where our list is at in this area.

Some speculation that Lever may be a late out - from Fox Footy though, the source of Lachie Hunter's "omission"

We should be fair to Schache - he played 2 games in 2020 - rounds 5 & 6

He then plays his first game in over a year in rnd 7 2021 V Richmond and wasnt great in a side that struggled and gets dropped.

He then doesnt play for another 12 weeks until Rnd 19 against Melbourne and plays a good game and holds his place through the finals where I felt he showed he is a good kick, good decision maker, goal kicker and good at finding space.

Its a credit to him that he was able to work through 2+ years in the wilderness

He was fine as far as I was concerned at the back end of the year. I guess all I was saying is it's weird to be surprised he might be playing forward when we don't really have anyone else and he has played there recently.
