Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

Agree BAD. This is why I want to keep both Macrae and Daniel into 2025.

Me to. I couldn't blame them for considering offers though.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

I thought both Daniel and Macrae were very good yesterday. Macrae came on about mid 3rd quarter and kicked two goals and picked up 17 disposals.

Yep, having a competitive Footscray side has helped keep players sharp. I thought both of them played well and their decision making in tight contests was spot on.

Macrae putting on a good show for his next coach /s

Still don't think we can have both in the team. We can't go back to the way we were. North were witches hats yesterday. GWS are full of speed and that is something we are working on doing and is the reason our form has flipped on its head.

Daniel is a very smart player and good with ball in hand but he also stifles our run by running around in circles when has the ball. It is part of the reason he no longer takes kick outs.

One needs to be sub and also means Sanders won't play with both Macrae and Daniel in the team.

Agree. That was as non-competitive a game as you will ever have and probably not a great lead in to the Giants who are the best pressure side in the competition.

Awesome win though of course. Have we ever had as many near 90+ point wins ever?!

I wouldn't mind bringing Harmes in for Caleb.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

One of Macrae/Daniel as the sub feels right to me, but both in the side slows down our run. I?d be looking at getting Harmes into the side as soon as possible - I like his speed and goal kicking - probably at Caleb?s expense.

We?ve also found our long term wing in Freijah. Kid is a star and I can?t wait to see him up close in the Rat this week.

Agree with the Harmes call. Can also hit the scoreboard which is an added bonus. If there is any concern with West then Harmes is straight in.

Freijah had a breakout game yesterday. Looks so assured for an 18 year old. Baffled how he went so low in the draft.

Freijah has looked the goods from day 1. So excited at what he brings. He's going to be mr dependable for us for a very long time.

Thinking about our opponents this week, who do the Giants play on Darcy?

They have a few options with all of Taylor, Buckley or Himmelberg possibilities... really depends on who they seeing as the better match-ups.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

They typically play Taylor on Naughton and Buckley on Jamarra, but I’m gonna assume the course of the season might have changed their thinking on that. Lachie Keefe played at both ends on the weekend, he has the height for Darcy but he also sucks really bad so fingers crossed that’s what they do.

Naughton has not done well against Taylor so that means Taylor will go to Naughton

Probably Buckley will take Jamarra

Will they use Himmelberg on Darcy?

Keefe could be the choice as he can also takes the ruck when Darcy does.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

He?s had 3 very quiet games in a row so in terms of selection integrity he must be close to having a spell anyway.

I viewed his subbing out for tactical reasons as a very clear shot across his bow that his form isn't good enough at the minute.

Agree, he hasn't played well, but also he could have been concussed as his head got smashed

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 24 VS GWS

If it turns out he's in concussion protocols then I'll take it back. I don't think we're in a position to be hiding concussions and calling them tactical subs.
