Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 5 V Port Adelaide

it be interesting to see whch of the Mc is picked McNeil or McLean.

I hope it does not stamp Toby McLean paper if he does not get selected this week

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 5 V Port Adelaide

My guess would be Caleb and possibly Weightman though less likely given he's been out.

Caleb to midfield, Duryea takes his spot. TOB takes Crozier’s spot

Generally I thought Daniel has been somewhat lost in the first few rounds and really found his groove when he was moved back to defence last week. I’d be hesitant to shift him to the midfield so soon.

McLean just hasn't been as productive up forward as we would like. I don't think his papers have been stamped.

Select him as part of the midfield rotation then. Only place for him atm we're stacked for small / mediums in the forward line now with Arfer, Hannan and now Flea coming in.

Suspect Bevo will sub him and pull a tall at some stage.

If it is raining then it might happen.

Because he's garbage.

Well that's an opinion I don't agree with.

Let me tell you at a sponsors function he shepherded around a young boy who had a jumper to be signed. ALL NIGHT. Everytime I looked up he was taking him to another player to get his shirt signed.

I've had the pleasure of talking to him, you can NOT get a better person in my opinion. He's just a brilliant guy and so engaging with the fans.

Get behind him and hope he kills it! He has all the attributes. I just hope he gets a decent run at it (3 -4 weeks).

Last two weeks he has been very good at VFL level and the ideal guy to play as an interceptor. We tried to use him as a KPD last year and it really didn't work

He's got an amazing leap, and distributes really well. My only query is his ability to position and read the play. If we think of the gold standard, which is unfortunately one of the great knobheads of footy Lever...he just reads it before it's even kicked. He's a superstar and it's little wonder Melbourne with 2 of the best mids and 2 of the best defenders are so amazingly good.

I really hope we give him a good run at it.

TOB, Bruce and Jones might just work.

They've got Dixon, Marshall and Finlayson.

I dare say Bruce goes to Dixon, Jones to Marshall and TOB to Finlayson. It's going to be a critical area of the ground.

Any insight or more information how bad Bailey’s calf injury is?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 5 V Port Adelaide

TOB isn't as bad as some ride him out to be.

In the wet, I might prefer Gardy as I'm not sure it suits TOB's game but I think he's perhaps a better fit if we're playing Bruce too. Gardy is fine athletically but TOB is better and, perhaps more importantly with this set up, is a better distributor.

Aren't we last for scores from D50? That could be a consideration that playing 3 KPDs has restricted us in this area. TOB theoretically would therefore be more 'positive' in this facet of the game.

Did ok last week in the wet at the VFL.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 5 V Port Adelaide

Weightman and Arty mixing it with our tall forwards is an exciting anticipation, fast entries especially.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 5 V Port Adelaide

Maybe i'm a bit of a bleeding heart but i always hope the borderline players ie TOB, Roarke, Hannan, Gardy etc do well. It can only benefit the team if they do.

Calf injuries are not good. Hopefully not too bad, as they can take weeks.

Read a tweet earlier from Stevo saying that Smith’s calf is more tightness and not a tear, and that he may still miss the Freo game.
