Round #16 Match Committee

Re: Round #16 Match Committee

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).

That would be a win for us I feel. It means that he won't go to Bob Murphy and it should free Bob up a bit. Furthermore, Robinson has been very damaging in the midfield, probably their most improved next to Murphy and if he plays a defensive role on Higgins then there only other reall defensive midfield option is Carazzo and I don't rate him.

Barlow is out with finger injury.

Roughead in?

I get your line of thinking bornadog but Barlow hasn't played the 2nd ruck role for us. I think what we lose most from Barlow being out is his run and I would like to see him replaced by a runner/mid.

For mine Roughy should be battling for the 2nd ruck spot with Jones. As much as I love Jones, he doesn't offer us enough ATM without ruck duties. I'm happy to have either in.

I don't get this. Jones is our only lead up forward. Why do people get in their minds he doesn't offer enough?

I think the MC will bring Roughead in.

Barlow is out with finger injury.

Had an operation on Monday and he said he will play next week.
