Re: Match Committe- Round 2 vs Adelaide

Don't agree with Wallis getting dumped again. 7 games into his career and he's still treated like he's been out there for 100+ Let the kid learn the game!!!!

DJ would have to be sub looking at that bench, surely they won't make the same mistake 2 weeks in a row. Hopefully Grant starts on the ground.

True he does seem to be the whipping boy but perhaps he shouldn't really be getting as many games as he has. I mean he hasn't really dominated at Williamstown before.

Mitch needs confidence. I want to see him get a steady run at Willy and learn to not worry about expectations. Learn to get the pill 30 times a game get the disposal efficiency up.

At the moment there isn't really a spot for him, as we need more run. I don't think DJ is the answer but perhaps he might surprise us.

Wallis showed some improved signs last week but I struggle to see
who else should have made way for Griffen? Grant needs the opportunity to play a full match and Addison plays the lock down defensive role.

I am disappointed with this as well. Has he EVER played 2 consecutive games? I was surprised as his selection in the R1 team, but once he was picked I would have thought two games at least??? He didn't cost us the game last week.

There is a famous story about Fraser Brown where David Parkin asked him what the problem was - he dominated in the 2's but was not the same player at league level. Brown replied that it was 'his (Parkin's) fault. Well, you and that other idiot who was here last year (Walls)'. When asked why, Brown replied that he had played 6 games and been dropped after every single one of them.

Howard made way for Griffen, that is all that was needed. If I was to make any other changes it would have been Cordy for Roughead but I'm happy to leave it that way. DJ can and should have waited it out at Willy.

He put together 2 last year, don't bother about counting his first as he only played one quarter of football and was thrown to the wolves. I'm really concerned with how we are handling Wallis. New coach I thought things would have improved.

Old Geelong Boy who was coached in the midfield by guess who.

Wouldn't surprise me if it did. He did bring Shannon Grant with him, and wouldn't be the first to look favourably upon someone he'd had previous involvement with.

And who was at Geelong whe DJ got the flick, the same with Moles could work against both of them.

You're speaking as if McCartney had a hand in recruiting DJ, like Grant with Campbell and Dickson where in fact, BMac was part of the team that traded him (and would have delisted him). If anything you would think it would be a bad thing for DJ to have a coach from a club that sent him packing.

Re: Match Committe- Round 2 vs Adelaide

I wonder what these players thought when Macca got the gig, looking at it so far DJ is getting another go but Moles has been completely left out.

It's not like injuries have played a part in that either.

Hasn't Moles been injured?

I think you are right.
