Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions

Who makes way for Gardner? Does Bruce play forward, does Keath get omitted and what to do with Sam Darcy?

I think it's Darcy and or Marra but it could be Keath. Moving Bruce forward if Lobb isn't available might be a decent move.

Is anyone seriously suggesting we play Arthur Jones for his first game on a Thursday night having not played for (I think) 4x weeks?

That would be a prayer, not a selection. You really think getting in a first gamer is the solution?? It just reminds me of Homer getting the job of Head of Sanitation (or whatever it was) in Springfield - "some-one else, some-one else....". "Hey - I'm 'Someone Else'".

Absolute desperation if Arty plays.

He was in the round one side until injured and he’s not going to do worse than some others have… if he’s fit enough, I’d play him. No idea if he is fit enough.

Darcy should be learning his trade at VFL level for a little while.

Couldn't agree more with this. We're gifting him games when he's nowhere near ready.

I'm pretty content with what I've seen that he'll be a player,but he's not strong enough or fit enough at the moment.

There was that one pre season game where it all clicked though EW...
We need more time in real games to make sure it's a bad idea.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions

Few people on BF suggest Marra wont play and is on leave from the club?

He had the day off today, but hopefully he is ok.

Out
Daniel Darcy West McLean

In
Sweet Cleary Khamis JJ

What does JJ add? He is soft as butted. I would prefer West's 1 kick, but a heap of pressure than JJ's 5 kicks and no pressure.

He is not a forward and is not good enough to be a back half ball carrier (or maybe he is and Bevo has f*cked that up)

There wasn't much choice Fred, JJ just pipped Hannan

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions

West and Garcia are midfielders not small forwards. Play them there.

W....We haven't had that since Clay Smith.

You are right, hesitation didn't exist in his game. Clay Smith was a bit more than mongrel. 4 goals in the first win of 8 attempts at a Prelim,

So don't make the change - work with West. No point making change for change's sake.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 3 V Brisbane Lions

Beveridge spoke of being innovative to match Brisbane.

Would this innovation be playing West or Garcia in their natural positions? I mean, they put good showings in the VFL and earn a call up to the senior side then get whacked in a completely different position. It stinks.

O'Brien has missed a bit too much, needs to play at Footscray.

Needs to play in the VFL permanently. We'd be really scraping the bottom of the barrel bringing him in. Who knows, we're already scraping the bottom with McComb. Bringing him in might be being "innovative".

I'd be surprised if he plays this year. He's and 'interceptor' who doesn't use the ball well enough for his position.
Crozier is playing that role now anyway, and if Garnder's fit Keath could well slide into that spot anyway.

O'Brien for all his faults, is a much better kick of the ball than our tall defenders & Crozier.
