Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

But he must be delisted or promoted according to AFEL rules. MUST. So which is it. Has he shown enough to be promoted to the main list or otherwise be demoted. There’s no other option.

I'd promote as this stage.

Not sure if we have the guts for four or five changes but ...
Out: O'Brien, O'Donnell, Arty Jones, Richards, McNeil
In: Keath or Bruce, VDM, Gallagher, Crozier
West, Poulter or Cleary as sub

I’m cutting him. Said in another thread, he’s the slowest quick bloke I’ve seen.

I’m curious. With list spots at an absolute premium, and depth a major problem, what does he have going for him for a fourth and probably fifth year with his first three very poor from a statistical perspective?

Pace, good kick, pressure, good link play.


And my love.

He’s a good kick? Really?

He simply refuses to kick and often handballs to players in worse positions than him.

And I don’t feel he has good pace… or if he does he doesn’t know how to use it effectively.

I’ve loved Jarrad Grant and many others. So I know the feeling. But as Mantis says, I don’t see what you see at all.

Gallagher has played 2 VFL games off an interrupted pre-season. Put him in now and you’re setting him up to fail, surely Cleary and even Poulter are ahead of him.

Good, not great.

Yes I think he has pace.

I get he's fringe too. However we need young mids / wing forwards so I don't think we'd find much better at his level of investment.

Fair enough.

I still think he could’ve made it. Cut down by Bevo in his prime.

In: Keath, Bruce, Poulter, Cleary
Out: TOB, Gardner, JOD, Ed (inj)
Sub: Vanders

I don't like TOB, Gardy, Bruce and Keath but I'd go with the latter two as being more dependable/safer. Gardy really struggling.

If we cut McNeil which we may well, what type are you looking for to replace BT?

I’m hoping that Clarke takes his spot next year. I’m hoping we land Lohmann too.

That gives us Weightman, Clarke, Arty, Lohmann with Scott as back up as the smaller forward brigade. With three talls.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

It's a list management post but I'd retain McNeil. He is 21 and he can create pressure. Small forwards don't have to do much to be effective. Killer that he combines a pretty poor kick with (seemingly) massive nerves in front of goal. Like if he can get some improvement with his goal kicking, maybe there is something. I am fine with him being cut though.
