Always Right Match Committee Round 14 v GWS at Giant Stadium on Saturday Night

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 v GWS at Giant Stadium on Saturday Night

I agree I hate the AFL media, however for many members this is a normalised source of connection to the game and their club. So it's a necessary evil and I think the head coach, being probably the main face of the team needs to be able to live in that world.

I do worry about that behaviour internally too.

Being a bit calmer or planned in his delivery of why he is rejecting such sources an option too.

I don't watch any of the footy shows.

AFL360 is ruined by Slobbo and the others are all the boys club.

The First Crack on a Sunday night isn't too bad. Focuses on the actual game rather than the politics.

I thought 360 had improved but I'm off it now. For whatever reason I don't mind footy classified and as much as I don't like Garry Lyon On the Couch is occasionally worth a watch.

Imagine Schache taking that set shot instead of McComb

Meh... 5 goals in a tight contest. Hit up leads. Contested marks. Whatever...

He looked like he wasn't trying hard enough. So he mustn't be selected.

But I think we need to play one of either JUH or Schache in the AFL each week. Whichever one is going the best.

Exactly!

The side needs structure up forward.

Khamis/Cordy are a third forward option. Bruce's absence means it is either Schache (more versatile) or JUH.

JUH is not ready and as much as we want him to be ready he isn't so we either accept that his output will be up and down (much like Khamis) or we don't pick him.

Schache I think probably deserves a run this week as a replacement for Khamis. He can 2nd ruck if we aren't going to pick Sweet.

I saw a comment here somewhere about kicks against the eagles and thought that the team must have had a lot. So I looked it up.

218. But against Collingwood, a much better opponent, the dogs had 269 in only a nine goal win. And that’s was the most in the first eleven games.

And both Bont and Treloar had their biggest tally for those games. Why is this?

What has this post got to do with team selection against GWS?

Well it's not hard to be 2nd ruck under Bevo. You or I could do it. Don't need height, don't need to jump, don't need to do anything really. I might go down to training this week and throw my hat in the ring.

I'll go with

In: Roarke, Crozier, Schache
Out: Baz, Gardner, Khamis

Very disappointing from Baz, we don't really have the kind of performances in the VFL midfield that warrant promotion, so he'll leave a hole. Roarke can at least cover the ground in a similar fashion and might be able to assist plug holes down back with his trademark third man up elevation.

If Gardner is alright I'd keep him in, bring Crozier in for Baz, and move Daniel to the midfield rotations (Roarke stays put). Crozier looks to have recaptured some form in recent weeks.

Great development experience for Buku the last month, and he's gone alright, but form dictates that he be replaced by Shaq.

Gardner's Wrist.

Gardner's Wrist.

Gosh you're quick BAD! Thought I'd got away with the edit before your eagle eyes arrived

Have you heard anything with regard to the severity of said wrist injury?
