Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

Interesting Brisbane only have 6 injuries on their list and they're ALL knees! What are the odds?

Just reported on Ch 9 that West is free to play this week (insert smiley emoji)

Very interested to see how they replace Darcy.

Out: Harmes, VDM, Darcy
In: Libba, Richards, Jones?

Feels like we have too many mids again... does Richards go back and Freijah takes a more permanent place on the wing to replace Harmes I wonder.

I can't see Jones getting in. I only saw a half of the vfl on the weekend but in all the other games he is just not 'in' the game often enough. And his goal kicking is fairly average at this point. Fingers crossed that Vander makes it.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

Out: Darcy; Vanders; Harmes
In: Richards; Libba; Jones

With West in I think we give Jones a shot at replacing Vandermeer and Clarke leaves my team. I suspect he's probably closer to being able to replicate the repeat efforts of Vanders and being a like for like. If he's not super involved outside that and misses some goals then is it that different to Vanders?

Edit: just realised McNeil is not in my team. I think it makes sense for him to retain a spot given his performance last week

Out: Darcy; Vanders; Harmes
In: Richards; Libba; McNeil to first 18.

If Vanders plays then Darcy and Harmes out, Richards and Libba in. Caleb to sub

Is Scott ready to return or still in protocols?

Still unclear whether he will exit and be available I think.

Listed as Test, but Bevo said in his press conference that he won't play - but that was Friday.

There is a Press conference tomorrow at 9.30 so we will find out.

I look forward to your future edits and edits of your edits.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

The libba and Richards inclusions couldn’t be timed better .
Lobb and English will have to go forward when not rucking , that means Daniher might give us a bit of trouble.
Also Andrew’s will go on Jamarra so we need Lobb to stand up again.
Will we chaos ball into the forward line I wonder ?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

Sorry - wrong.

This debate is exhausting as it happens every time...just lead up and play through the non-forward with zero forward craft...

Well it appears it's not a debate considering your first sentence. That's the funny thing about opinions, you can have differing ones and neither person be wrong. If you ever find your 'debates" are becoming exhausting, consider it's maybe because it's hard to have a reasonable discussion when one party is always "right".

That's a huge out for us. I know we were incredibly brave last week, but I feel like going back to the well for a second time will be an even bigger effort.

It's not a debate.

Seen it done your way so many times. The ONLY way your 'be a threat' works is if it is the best forward with genuine craft. THEN what happens is the oppo put a genuine lockdown on that player and the interceptor is again free to go play their own game.

Some things in footy are eternal - true intercept players like Andrews could care less against a (no disrespect) forward line 'no-one' like JOD trying to hit up on them...they will just create a 2v1 and intercept mark. And if - to use JOD as an example - that player actually flukes a couple of goals, Fagan would simply change the match-up.

The ONLY way is to stick a player on him with nothing but defensive intent. Stick your elbow in his back and where he goes, you go. When he jumps, YOU JUMP. Don't try and mark it...just bring it to ground.

That's how you beat an interceptor and that's how you break a system like Brisbane's.
