With such a great win you wouldn't want to make too many changes. Liberatore for Reid would be worthy of consideration.

Hill didnt get much of a chance today, but I think Barlow offers more as an outside runner than Hill. His height and versatility is a bonus that Hill doesnt offer

Reid also may be skating on thin ice..couldnt really get into the game today. Would like to see what Addison can offer this week in Reid's place as a defensive forward and rotating through the midfield. Addison's form at Williamstown since returning from injury has been reasonable.

Think Barlow will miss 2 or 3 with the hand injury Dog House.

I like the reasoning but maybe Libba or Ves instead of Barlow

OK

Thought I read somewhere he had a small operation to his dislocated finger to stabalise it and was expect to only miss one week...

He had a massive bandage last night at the Willy game.

Still not sold on Hooper, but he did work himself into the game more.

Could be safe again this week.

Agree on Grant, was very poor again tonight.

Hopefully Hooper keeps on improving.

Re: Round #17 Match Committee

Why would an established player come in as a sub, play one quarter and then get dropped? Fair dinkum bring a sub in like Zeph and give them a taste but why stuff around with all these ins and outs each week. Swap Hill for Reid as sub for next week and leave the team as is to settle and to also validate cusp players by showing that we have faith in them.

No change until Barlow is right giving us a few weeks to assess Hooper, Reid, Hill et al.

Re: Round #17 Match Committee

Huddo was immense today - the master of the doubletap to himself and clearance.

Grant never seems to be in the right place, but saw more of it in the second half. The thing that gives me hope is that when he does get in a contest for the ball, he is good. Just got to be in the right place more often.

Because some have little faith in Hill, and he doesn't do much to give it to us.

Re: Round #17 Match Committee

Grant was very disappointing so I wonder if he needs another reminder to keep his intensity and work rate up?

I thought he was OK when given an opportunity. The problem is, he doesn't know where to run to find the ball. He probably doesn't work hard enough (eg. multiple leads) either. I'd still keep him in though. He looks down on confidence.

Hill would be the only player I'd drop. Veszpremi is due for a game.

I thought Reid was solid. May not have found the ball but was tough IMO.
