Match Committee - Round 2 vs Adelaide

Re: Match Committe- Round 2 vs Adelaide

Not many posters want to drop Wood but he was bloody aweful on Sunday. I dont think he can stay in @ 1/2 back for much longer.

Yep, I mentioned this in a previous thread/post can't remember. Last year I was calling for him to be dropped to learn more and Develop more at Willi and was was shot down, so you better watch it there

Do you think Vez should be given a go at HBF?

Ok, what I am saying is both run around in circles, maybe DJ runs an extra circle (I guess that could be called the figure eight)

Nice! Maybe if we play them both we can really confuse the Adelaide Cows

Stack used to do some nice circle work Ah those were the days.

At-least read the whole post.




Roughead to stay as Ruck/Forward.

So you would play 3 rucks.

When ones forward and the other is rucking where do you hide the last one?

Cordy has been playing back at Willy and did last season when he got injured you could possibly line him up there on one of the Crows talls. The advantage we have with Cordy is that he's pretty mobile so he's not as much of a liability in certain parts of the ground as much as Roughead or Minson.

Maybe these players were told to play like you train and took it literally?

I agree with playing Cordy over Roughead as he is able to play(or pinch hit) in more than one position, something Roughie can't do IMO.

I just don't like the idea of playing 3 rucks and can't see it happening, the last thing we need is a ruckman resting on the bench all day.

I could have seen 3 rucks in last week. Cordy just plays back on the resting rucks. We were slaughtered because of the height they had down there and I think Cordy may have been helpful.

The only tall that gave us real problems was Kennedy and I couldn't see Cordy doing a better job on him than Marko.

Cordy on the resting rucks which frees up Brian to help out on Kennedy.

I'm not saying it would have worked but it's an argument for playing all 3. I wouldn't have gone all 3 anyway and rathered Cordy in instead of Roughead.

If you play Cordy as well as Minson and Roughead then one has to play a KPP role and not ruck.

Re: Match Committe- Round 2 vs Adelaide

If we look to next week - who will get the job on Riewoldt. That almost needs to be decided this week by who plays on Taylor Walker who is more the CHF type than Tippett.

Scary prospect who gets the big St.Kilda sook.

Well thats just frightening. I really do hope that the real(the old) Brian comes back soon - but he certainly wasn't on the ground on Sunday. He was hopeless. and he's going to need to get around on a motorbike to be within ear shot of Riewoldt.

With Morris out - the defence is pretty grim.

Lake is not the same player, Marko and Williams try hard - but lets face it - are ordinary footballers - and Shaggy is not suited to playing on tall, strong players.

This.

Cordy's not really ready to play ruck at AFL level, anyway.

He's a KPF who can pinch hit in the ruck at VFL level. Translating that to AFL, I'd say Cordy should be played exclusively as a KPF who takes the ruck duties in the forward half and is given a license to push up the ground -- such is his mobility.

We should play all 3 of Minson, Cordy and Roughead.

Jones has been getting monstered all pre-season. A mobile Cordy could help a bit, and I think Skinner needs to be considered too.
