Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

I don't think we'd do it, though you never know, but if Buss had already re-signed I do wonder if he would have had an opportunity.

It's not like Freo are small. And Buku really failed the test to do what defenders need to actually do, which is defend.

At a minimum, the uncontracted WA guys will get interest over the bye to their managers, even more so.

Freo forwards will have a field day against Khamis. Garcia omitted and Vandermeer playing is a joke.
Bramble 182cm v Treacy 195cm or Amiss 196cm, Khamis 191cm v Jackson 199cm

Garcia against Lions (rankings are for Bulldog players)

11 contested possesions #ranked 1st
5 inside 50s #ranked 2nd
8 score involvements #ranked 3rd
23 touches #ranked 4th

Some reasons he may have been dropped.

7 turnovers #ranked 1st
only one tackle

Not even an emergency.

With perhaps a doubt on Bont that surprised me just a bit. The captains runs have been a bit brief over the last couple of weeks so I'm not sure if I should make the effort to attend tomorrow.

Just curious but who is on the match commitee?

The families of Khamis, Vandermeer, Bramble and Daniel.

Garcia out for Scott? Wow. Just wow!

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Someone on bigfooty said early in the week that one of the Rileys will not play, I wonder if there was something more than form involved? Disappointing.

Its hard to be confident with Buku and JOD supporting Jones in defence, we really need to find a key defender for next year.

Just on Buss, agree we probably should have a look soon but from the games I've seen he hasn't been that impressive without ball in hand. His stats are inflated by a lot of cheap kicks/marks off half back, I would like to see him to blanket a defender/ control the air.

If we don't win this, there is no chance we make finals.

one of his issues is one on one defending

Do you really think Busslinger would have been less of a field day?

And why is Bramble listed? One for Jones, one for JOD, one for Buku seems straightforward to me. With Williams next in line. Bramble isn't going anywhere near them.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Disappointed about Garcia, but with Libba and Ed back he is squeezed. I think he has a lot of upside, and think that by the end of the year will be a fixture.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Oh my god, we're going to get slaughtered out the back by them going through Khamis' opponent just like last time.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Garcia surprised me but he's also playing an in demand role - 23 touches and a goal is great but with Ed and Cody coming in to that rotation someone needed to come out. VDM plays a different role so is irrelevant, but I agree I would have thought Daniel or Sanders were more likely to go first.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

I thought Garcia played a decent game of footy last week, but some of his disposal and decision-making early was really poor.

Wonder if they like Caleb in the sub role and that's why he's kept that spot.

I'd have played Buss because I think we've seen this defensive trio before and it doesn't work, so that's a big surprise.

My memory of that game is that our midfield got unceremoniously destroyed and it wouldn't have mattered if we had Rance, Scarlett and Silvagni in defence because we let their mids walk it in to the forwards repeatedly.

My memory is whoever had Khamis took him deep and exploited him one on one. Spankingly.
