NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

Whilst I wouldn't mind seeing Mulligan get a crack at one of Franklin/Roughead, it might do more harm than good. Rance was killed and was substituted off the ground after they threw him to the wolves. I wouldn't like to see the same thing happening to Mulligan. Hawthorn appear to be in good nick too so I'm not sure if it's the right time.

From DR's list, how many players miss? Is it just the two?

Out: Williams, Boumann, Markovic and Rose
In: Hall, Eagleton, Aker and Hargrave

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

Normally you would say Morris, but perhaps they may like to see Mulligan have a crack.

Yep, would be a could challenge and chance to see what he may be able to offer us during the year. Go for it, I say!

Going to interesting seeing the two Rougheads playing, I wonder if it will be a replay of Morton v Morton from the Richmond game.

Fair point. Boumann would have been a good option as well but has missed his chance.
Markovic is the one that should have been in the mix. Whilst he would not have had the pace to go with Franklin he might have been able to match Roughead for a while.
Looks like Morris will once again have to fight out of his weight division.

Can I assume you mean 'Out cold on the ground'?

I would really, really, really like to win this week, win well, and put every other side (and prospective member) on notice.

Perhaps the coaching staff have more faith in Everitt as a CHB than the majority of WOOF posters.

I am not suggesting he get first crack, but the list of possibles doesn't go any further than Lake, Morris, Mulligan, Jones and Everitt. Actually, I am suggesting he get first crack. Now I will sit back and read all the explanations as to why this would not be a good idea.

I'm all for testing Everitt but against Franklin or Roughead would be a huge one for him.
I've read a lot about him here and despite that I'm still not sure what his best position is and how we should best use him.

Maybe Friday night might show what Eade is planning for him.

I hope not, Everitt needs to be played forward of the center IMO.

Agreed, I think a floating Half forward flanker with a license to roam. See if he can create space and hopefully score or setup opportunities.

Perhaps they have less faith.

From what we have seen in the past Andrejs hasn't looked the part playing in defence, especially on tallish opponents and I would think the coaching staff would have taken notice.

I guess it comes down to:

(a) whether it is a must win game or a practice match

(b) what the coaching staff have ruled out and ruled in regarding Everitt's future roles.

If Mulligan plays he will likely be in a key back position. If the win is what matters most, Morris is our go to man, though his record against Buddy is crap. Everitt is bigger, stronger, fitter and apparently more desperate. He is 193cm and I believe he will have a career with us as a key position player (CHB, CHF or swingman between both) or he will move on to another club.

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

I would argue that Everitt is only taller than Morris, I would question whether he is actually stronger or fitter to play that specific position and I would also add that Morris is quicker and smarter in that role.

As others have stated it all depends on what we actually want to get out of the game.

3cm difference, but can make a difference depending on reach, leap an strength

One young pup might rue not doing the right thing & find himself watching from the stands on Friday night.

Are you still going to go comrade?

If Comrade needs a fix he could come to my high school. Bouman and Cordy will be there for some reason.
