Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

Lobb looked pretty sore. Not sure why we rushed him back after ankle surgery.

Lobb did the hard work on the forward line, competitive in marking packs, bodying interceptors, and was as good at ruckwork as English when he relieved. Those qualities were glaringly lacking against St Kilda. Subbed off in the last 10 minutes or so, hope it's not serious.

I think we gotta drop Garcia. That might’ve been full on the worst individual game I’ve ever seen. I don’t really know who for but that can’t be abided.

I'm not ready to forgive.....all of his efforts were unthinking and costly.

If the MC is prepared to cop it and chalk it up to experience and all that then I'm not going to be too phased.

I like his energy levels. He was dirty on himself I'm marking it down to an aberration he's never done it before.
He stays for me.

I was angry last night, but will forgive him.

At this stage, barring any injuries from last night, NO CHANGE

You don't think that after the first one he may have started to think things through? Or the second?

I'm all for energy levels, providing they're directed at doing good things rather than shitty/ silly things.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

I didn't mind Garcia's game overall. I thought he was a bit unlucky with the Dunkley 50, wasn't really that late just unfortunate that he hooked his arm and it swung him horizonal. Was worth it in any case . Second 50 was a horrible brain fade but he knew that himself instantly.

Bevo said Lobb was fine, just jarred his ankle slightly but the sub was also about introducing some more run, just as Brisbane did with theirs.

I thought Keath was good last night, was a large part of us moving the ball from defensive 50. As much as I like Gardner that isn't his bag. I'm unsure how we go about fitting 4 KPDs into 3 spots as none deserve to be dropped.

I would also go no change.

It was frustrating. Have to say at the game I couldn't tell what a couple were for. The Dunkley one I saw, the other one was it knocking the ball out of the hand? There was a third I couldn't work out either.

If it happens regularly I'm with you.

The Andrews one he smartly had his hands up to prevent a quick handball off and then inexplicably decided to knock the ball out of his hands and you could see the WTF have I just done realisation instantly come over him.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

Really hope Garcia isn?t dropped. Usually I?d say you need to punish that level of poor discipline, and yes he did nearly cost us the game with the Andrews 50m, but he?s also one of the only players who can honestly raise their hand and say they?ve put in maximum effort for two games in a row. We need his pace and pressure in the side. If Weightman was ready, then maybe I could see us dropping him.

Hoping for only change to be:
OUT: Lobb (sore)
IN: West or Darcy

Gardner is best 22 but I’d give him another week or two to build in the VFL

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

Who we playing as a small forward if Garcia is dropped?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

No room for Gardner ATM, his time will come.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 V Richmond

I think we need to go easier on Garcia. He had a mare but he goes about it the right way. He's hard at it and gives his all. Sometimes in sport you just have a bad night where nothing is working for you. He'll learn. If someone was banging the door down at VFL level then I wouldn't argue against dropping him, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

Does Duryea come back in? Who does he replace?

Not for mine. I liked the mix back there last night, and thought the team effort on Cameron was terrific without our most notable 'stopping' small defender.

The backline has mostly functioned well this year, I think letting them spend some time playing together will help with cohesion. Gardner and Duryea have a roll to play this year, no doubt, but I think the incumbents deserve first crack.
