Round #16 Match Committee

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

I have no problem with gilbee on gartlet or betts, he is OK defensively.

Good luck with that one.

More to the point who is marcovic going to pay on? I think he might have to sit this one out.

Would think that Markovic would play on either Waite or Kruezer.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

I would have Williams on Waite as he would be too mobile for Markovic. Markovic can take Kreuzer/Warnock as he is good body on body.
I would have Wood on Walker and Morris can be the bookmaker and take Betts.
I like Higgins for Garlett as I think he will worry Carlton if he plays like he did against Melbourne. Murphy as our floater and his run will also concern Carlton.

Gilbee is the bench relief defender who can also get under their guard.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

What about Gilbee forward this week?

Please baby Jesus don't let this happen. Betts would be a bad match up but Garlett would be utterly scary.

I think that only works if he has a back up opponent down back, which he doesn't IMO. I actually think Gilbee still has something to offer but not against forward lines with no real weak links.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

Why do people have Lake as an in? He is a mile off being an AFL defender ATM.

I didn't mention him coming in as a defender Roc.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

Carltons forward line is incredibly dangerous and their real strength has been the multitude of goal kickers. For me i would set Picken for one of Betts or Garlett, this would prevent a tight tag on Murphy (Carlton) but may shut down one of those carlton smalls. Wood gets the job on the other as a pure negating role.

Initially i would have payed Morris on Walker, but considering Higgins job on Sylvia last friday i would consider giving him the role.

Certainly plenty for the MC to consider.

A scary proposition. Higgins was able to play the way he did last Friday night because he was on a far slower, less dangerous opposition player than Garlett. If Higgins goes to Garlett it will be all he can do to restrict him and I don't think we will be able to expect any rebound or set ups from Higgins. If Garlett and Higgins had a 100 metre race Higgo would still be at the 50 as Garlett crosses the tape.

Totally agree. Yet another reason we can't play Gilbee IMO too. Gilbee and Higgins in the same backline against Carlton's forward line depth would be a recipe for disaster. Both are attack before defence type defenders but Higgins is better at both attack and defence atm. I think Robinson will go to Higgins.

I only see one man for Garlett and that's Morris due to his pace (Picken is another option but you'd think he'd get Judd or Murphy).

I would back Higgins footy smarts and strength in the contest. It is not just about running speed.

Really see our rebounders as dangerous counter attack for Carlton. Higgins did really well at getting the footy, in the air and on the ground.

I see Betts as the most dangerous Carlton forward and that makes him the one for Morris.

Yep, I can get that line of thinking mate. I think Garlett is more dangerous when given space and more affected by a tight leash if it makes sense. Sometimes it's not just about who is the most dangerous but also who is most affected by tag, Danyle Pearce is a good example.

I think pace wise and the tight leash reasons make Morris our match up for Garlett and taking a punt on Bobby on Betts. Either way I can definitely understand your line of thinking though, it's just personally how I rate Garlett and Betts.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

Picken to stay down back, Boyd to Judd and Gilbee forward.
Barlow for Roughy.
Marko for Lake if he is ready. The reason people call for Lake is because he is a gun full back and we miss him. I dont get to watch any Will matches.
Libba for Reid or Hooper?

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

Id be looking at bringing in Addison or playing Hooper as a defensive forward on Yarran, we really cant let him have space, he'll cut us up through the middle. Id be playing Boyd on Judd as an inside tag. You really need a bigger body then Picken on a guy like Judd with his inside contested work, look at the success Hocking has had on these types for the Dons, Boyd to Judd and Picken to Murphy who is a superior outside runner anyway. Down back is where all the questions seem to be, I'd go Morris to Betts, Williams to Waite, Markovic takes the ruckmen, Wood to Walker and Murphy to Gartlett, if I was Ratten though I'd be looking at really isolating Woods opponent so we probably need some more defensive cover, Hargrave would be really nice so I wonder if theres any chance of rushing him straight back in? If not then it probably has to be Schofield or maybe even Stack for Gilbee.

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

Barlow is out with finger injury.

Roughead in?
