Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 vs Geelong (Gather Round)

So who will be sub? We have an extra backman, so does Williams go back to wing and Baker sub?

Sub would look likely to be Daniel or Macrae.

Why not Doc? 8 would be too many defenders would it not?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 vs Geelong (Gather Round)

I'm thinking Doc to sub, can't really have Naughton back for anyone suggesting it as they have Tom Stewart, De Koning, Kolodjashnij and Henry back there, we'll need to keep them as accountable as possible especially Stewart, so we'll need all hands on deck up forward to kick a winning score.

Possibly Jones to Hawkins, Buku to run around with Cameron and Williams on Henry. Would like to have Dale on a wing with JJ, Richards and Bramble back as i'm not sure Dale is defensively minded enough to play on Miers or Stengle, may actually need Doc to play a defensive role so perhaps Gags or Sanders may be unlucky with the vest.

Edit, i'll go Duryea (Sub) as Sanders and Gags are in the starting 18.

Say what now?

I?m a Cody fan, in fact I nominated him as my most improved player for 2024 in the pre season. If only one of us was a narc to go back and check

Hopefully he is good to go.

I just recall the carry on about it in 2022 and don't want to relive it. Not from you, BTW.

A small defender as a sub would be odd though. I'd be playing Doc on Stengel.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 4 vs Geelong (Gather Round)

Have to think Macrae is a massive chance to be sub.

I'm relatively pleased we haven't rushed back a tall defender for Cameron. Watching the cats live last week, Cameron spent much of his game roaming up to the wing or further and he beats opponents on speed and smarts rather than height/aerial presence. I think we have to back Buku in. I would just like him to be told to be conscious of Cameron dragging him up the ground and then getting out the back. Buku to maybe only go with him up the ground to a point, and stay in our half of the ground.

In any case, I'm far more conscious of Stewart's influence than Hawk/Cameron. The cats get smashed in clearance every week. We are going to get more than our share of opportunities to go inside 50. By far our biggest danger, is not taking advantage of those.

Cameron is only going to roam if they can’t win the ball at a clearance or they rebound like they normally do against us.

Yeah... wouldn't 6 small defenders also be a strange choice for picking a 22?

Not if 3 of them are playing on Jeremy Cameron

Any chance that Bailey Dale is the sub?

Thinking he was the worst defender last week and we have a surplus of them.

Although Dale made a couple of errors (4 clangers), he had 25 disposals and 10 marks. I wouldn't be moving him at all.
