Round #23 Match Committee

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

Have we pretty much scratched Hudson, Gilbee, Minson from selections?

I haven't watched all of the game yet so can't say who would be in line to be omitted.

From the VFL Hill didn't do himself any harm with his game on the weekend but would rather Wallis or Stack come in. Dahlhaus would be an obvious in if fit.

Lance Franklin declares he doesn't want to be rested before finals

Maybe Hawthorn will throw us a bone and rest Franklin this week?

;-)

Would make our selection / matchup problem easier...

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

Jones down back would most likely do better than Cordy down back.

Who would you drop for Hill to come in?

Grant.

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

That's exactly who I was thinking of as I posted.

Seriously though if he's okay Shaggy needs to play. We desperately need some old heads down back. On Buddy's matchup maybe Markovic in the forward 50 and Wood follows him up the ground.

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

Im happy to 'play the kids'. Not tank per se, but definately give the kids and fringe players a taste of senior footy and rest the oldies for next year. Let the team run out and give it their best shot, but dont play tired, injured guys in two essentially meaningless games.

Put hargrave to pasture for the remiander of the seaosn, what has he got to prove?

Sub barry at half time.

Play vezpremi, Cordy, Tutt, roughhead, Dalhaus, Schofield, etc...

Put hudson in the rack. Possibly play minson and hill.

Is it time to 'rest' Ward and play Wallis instead?

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

Shaggy and Dahl are the only two I'd bring back if they are fit enough.

Howard is first one I would have out. I really don't know who else should go out. I thought Grant was OK and deserves another go. He can also fill free up Jones to relieve Roughy in the ruck. Vez being dropped after playing as a sub would be rough. I think Cordy needs to stay in due to our lack of defenders and to give him some experience and I thought Schofield was OK as well.

Whilst Howard did not have a great game, was it right to sub him off for his first game in his home town, Adelaide. The game was over at the end of the third quarter anyway. Bit tough as players are only human, not cattle! And not good human relations in my view.

Serious?

If we think "he's gone...." then we should play other players instead of Ward. Another one to consider is Hill. We should play him to 'increase' his market value a bit so we can get something decent in return in trade period.

Willy's big win didn't throw up any likely inclusions. Dahlhaus looks to be the only certain in against Hawthorn. Hargrave Mulligan Stack and Hooper Wallis all didn't play at the weekend. Markovic deserves first crack at Franklin then maybe Wood rather than Cordy whose inexperience and lack of mobility a problem.

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

Imagine Dollhouse playing on Cyrill. That would be fun to watch!!

I hope they keep Howard in so he gets the chance to redeem himself. although he played a shocker last week we need to think longer term than just beating the Hawks. This is where a fill in coach wanting to impress is compromised IMO.

Re: Round #23 Match Committee

How can anyone have Hill in their side... he has had his chances time and time again

Williams has repeatedly said in the press that he is putting the teams development ahead of the personal gains that could be had if he played around with team selection.

I am starting to feel sorry for Wood at 185cm. Just because he can jump a bit we expect him to play on Gorillas. He has done that a few times and in every game has been smashed. We need another solution.
