Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

That’s a bugger. I think we really need some speed. When the game is quick we like ok good. Very good.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

I'd consider

In Sweet, Gardner and either Poulter or Bruce
Out Jones, O'Brien and Lobb.

Lobb looked good without Naughts in the forward 50. He had three good leads that were not honered.

Should’ve ended up with 3-4 but for poor decisions by teammates. I thought he looked good tonight.

But I'm keeping Naughty forward and Bevo won't move him back unless he absolutely has to.
Lobb took one overhead mark and wasn't much chop in the ruck.
I don't mind sticking with him but we have to admit he's not offering much.

I saw an interesting stat on the weekend. Apparently leading up to the game we'd targeted Naughton ~80 to 85 times, Jamarra about 70% of that and Lobb less than 50% of that. So if you want to know why his output is low compared to last year, there's your answer.

He'd have probably had the ball kicked to him at least twice as much last year, and funnily, kicked more goals! Here's the comparison in output for last year, we just need to look for him more and the example of Jamarra ignoring him yesterday was a perfect example.

For me I am not too worried about goal kicking but rather his success (or not) as a chop out for Tim in the ruck. When he rucks he needs to play better than he has. Marking has been an issue around the ground. If he gets a goal or two a week then forward play is ok as he takes another tall away from Naughton and JUH.

I tend to agree that he could impact the game more when taking a turn in the ruck. Interestingly for me is he's spending 83% of time on ground with us, and was up around 97% for Fremantle.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

I'd like to see Naughts down back but it won't happen.

In- Bruce, JOD, McNeil (starting)
Out- TOB, Jones, Baker (becomes sub)

I know Bruce was awful against Port but I liked what I saw of him in the VFL more than Gardner. Bruce can at least possibly be swapped with Naughts too if we want to change it up. Thought JOD was great in the VFL and I think suits the KPD3 role way more than whoever is left from Bruce or Gardy.

I haven't seen JOD play the previous weeks. Did he play in the backline at all? I know that is his position, and maybe that is where he should play if he comes back in.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

He did play back last game. Took an all mighty leap over the pack on the wing during the last game and if he'd marked it instead of a hefty punch it would have been about mark of the year. Correct me if I'm wrong for those at the game as I'm relying on TAFE TV.

Played back last week. Bevo mentioned him in the press conference and how well he did. He'll be in for TOB.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

An inexperienced JOD, a cooked and slow Bruce and an out of form Gardner suggested as ins ? Freo forwards must be salivating already.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 v Fremantle

I'd bring in Gardiner.

Match-ups would determine if I brought in another tall or someone more mobile.

It sucks that Jones is out for so long.
