Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

There has been a lot of talk how good Cripps, Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett were against the Tigers. Can we stop them or do we just turn the game into a shootout. I am concerned about this game. We need our mids to dominate and control the game for large periods so that we get enough inside 50’s.

Questions for mine are for both Cordy and Schache play? One or the other with O’Brien or Marra as ins. Not convinced Hunter is fully fit - maybe rest him but not sure who comes in.

I don’t want to ever see Schache in the ruck. Use his strengths,not his weaknesses.

He is an excellent lead and kick. So put him where he can lead a backman away from Naughton and kick some nice long goals.

Poor bloke doesn’t know whether he is coming or going. Forward line, backline, ruck, wing. Give him one job and give him a season to settle into it.

For the record, he has kicked almost as many goals per game as Naughton and Weightman - and nobody is going to muck about with their roles. And we certainly need some stability in the forward zone.

We have a support ruckman and third tall forward. And that was the structure that worked well last year.

I just had a crazy thought when you suggested all that. He would do very well at Richmond as a third leading tall. You don't see Riewoldt or Lynch get thrown about, but they are a different type of forward. They stay as fwds.


Richmond have specific roles and the amazing Martain ( before he was injured) who could turn games around in space of 5 mins. Shai Bolton is kinda threatening to become that player.

I just wonder in today's games, the leading forward type has really suffered from congestion and zones ?

Naughton's great strengths are his aerial timing and power and his amazing agility for a big man.

Stef Martin wasn't himself last week apparently not sure what that means, but that's why he wasn't playing either level.

Cerra out too with Covid.

I just want us to bring in Sweet so we can maintain our structure up forward and give English a competent chop out. Cordy & Schache aren't it and Sweet is a more effective forward than Martin.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

I'm expecting minimal changes. Sounds like Hunter retains his spot, and JUH comes in. I'm gonna say Cordy comes out and Schache gets another go (but in defence, unless TOB is in). Someone not in the previous 23 will become the sub, but no idea who as the club has told us nothing about who played well in the VFL (although i now know Treloar thinks Avocados are overrated so at least the club is telling me something).

It’s simple..
Carlton have a better forward line than us. That’s where it will be won.

Yes that is the biggest concern. We need to negate their forward entries. To win we will need twice as many inside 50s as them. Not a good sign.

Williams pays for his errors

Whilst he was bad, I would have preferred to have him in than out

[Bornadog]

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Cordy lucky

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Ultimately we need Duryea in the team when fit and thus we needed a small defender to go, Williams played as bad a game as he ever will play and had to make way.

Yeah, he was poor, but surely he has more credits in the bank than Cordy who has touched the ball 4 times (just 1 kick) in 6 qtrs as forward/ ruck. (including the pre-season game vs BL)

Cordy lucky

Got a feeling he'd be out if O'Brien was right to play.

as I said above he is lucky to be in the team.
