Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
Freijah for Coffield.
Baker potentially for McNeill but I think Lachie gets another week.
Harsh on Macrae & Sanders who deserve AFL time but there's nobody who doesn't deserve their shot. I really like Daniel as a sub as he steps on the field and gets the pace of the game straight away.

Some unlucky blokes on our list right now.
Agree with this.
JF deserves a return to the side, Sanders too. Think we’ve protected them a few weeks now and a good opportunity to travel to Adelaide with the side.
It’s going to be interesting to see whether we favour this approach (young players) or the experience (Daniel, Coffield etc) for a push into finals. I hope it’s the former but wouldn’t be surprised if we went with the latter.

I think it gives us a slightly better balance as well. A group of us last night were discussing what changes might happen and most went for Freijah to replace Coffield and Sanders for Daniel.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
If we are going to play this kamikaze style we can only play 1 of Daniel, macrae and sanders. Can?t have slow players. Freij has to come in for coffield. Already a superior player in both run and disposal.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
Seeing calls for Sanders/Macrae type to replace McNeil/Vanders each week... I get it, they are/seem significantly 'better' individual players but CBAs are limited and our team is showing so much chemistry. It's a thankless job, but the pressure small forward role really prioritises speed and pressure. Feels crazy play McNeil and/or Vanders over guys who destroy it at VFL level in the middle, but would Sanders/Macrae add more value forward?
Also with the sub. It's really coming to the pointy end of the season now where we've had/have to win every game to be a top 4 chance. Macrae has been sub one and Daniel twice over the last 3. I think we will go with Macrae, Daniel or Harmes (if not all in best 22) as sub as it's really hard for a non vet to come in and not get lost.
For next week:
I'd go Freijah for Coff. Think it improves us whilst not risking disrupting structure.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
Coffield has been disappointing, but I think he will be better next year with another preseason after his retched run with injuries and lack of games over the past few years. He really needs to fix up his field kicking as well.

I haven't lost faith I still think he can make an impact, he is still a little rushed but just needs continuity.

The club dropped Garcia for his lack of accountability he had 7 tackles last night I cant seem them dropping him. He could have a better game with ball in hand but he is better than Sanders at this stage.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
I'd be reluctant to make any changes now unless forced. We are winning so let's not fiddle with it.
Keeping the team together and settled is important. It's also important to back in the fringe players now that we have decided to go with them. Keep rising their confidence.
Freijah would be my next in line if we felt Daniel needs to play a full game at Footscray.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 22 VS Adelaide
Coffields lack of leg speed and questionable decision making make me nervous as the intensity of the game will go up a notch in September. Nothing to lose by putting Smokin Joe Frazier back in in that role. Would also swap Daniel with Macrae for added hardness around the ball, Sanders stiff.

Sanders is a better player, but right now Garcia is better at the AFL role either would play
