Match Committee - Round 2 vs Adelaide

Re: Match Committe- Round 2 vs Adelaide

I have trouble understanding why so many people want Wallis to be dropped... i thought he showed a few signs on the weekend.... Playing at AFL level can only help his development......

The first question asked before anyone is selected is "Is a guy good enough to be a premiership player by 2014/15?" or "will a player help our younger players develop enough to be premiership players in 2014/15" ...... Dont pick them if the answer is no......

Wallis will be good enough in time....he seems to be finding it ball better at AFL level...... his disposal efficiancy was 72% (Not great but better than 13 others)....

I noticed that Addison is listed as 100% disposal efficiency...... Well done...... I hope you stick it to the doubters this year....

I though Wallis was terrible early but improved quiet a bit as the game wore on. Actually started to show some decent signs by the last quarter. I still think he is a bit of time away.

We need to get rid of one less plodder in the midfield. Griffen will have an impact but I like the looks of DJ this season and Cross is my number one player to be moved on in this development year. He may be better than some of the kids right now but they need games to improve.

Griffen set to play this week, following on from training.

Excellent news, we badly missed him last week

As opposed to Sherman? Are you serious?

Are you saying DJ is better than Sherman?

But Cross is only one game into a 2 year contract... It would be a waste of money to have playing at Willi for all that time.

Sherman looked better in 2011 for sure but I watched the VFL game on Saturday and DJ was far superior. His ball handling and disposal were very good. He was an emergency for the Dogs last week and would be a strong chance to play against Adelaide. If Griff doesn't pull up then I think he's a certainty.

And regardless of what any of us think on here, it is apparent that he is popular amongst his team mates and the coaches value what he brings to the team.

In: Griffen, DJ

Out: Howard, Wallis

If Griffen is not available then I need to rethink my changes

Medical report on the WB site says he's off their books. So good to go.

Exactly. Cross still has plenty to offer us.

Are you saying Sherman does not run around in circles like DJ?

I'd be surprised if Griffen plays. No inside knowledge but haven't heard anyone from the club say yes Griffen will play.
