Match Committee- Round 6 vs Collingwood

[always right]

Re: Match Committee- Round 6 vs Collingwood

Historically we have been reluctant to play Lake on the opposition best forward (apart from Buddy). Obviously we prefer to have Lake play on the lesser light to allow him to be a little more attacking and for this reason I expect him to take Dawes.

Going to be a tough night for Austen.

In Gia, Hargrave
Out Cordy and Grant both injured/sore

Apparently injuries are Cordy back, and Grant Hip

Re: Match Committee- Round 6 vs Collingwood

Cordy unlucky and looks like Marko hasn't come up. Big chance for Austin to see what he is made of. He will probably take Dawes and Lake on to Cloke? or the other way around

Could get ugly. Would have played Marko on clokeif available, now Lake has to do the job.

Sounds a bit like They were dropped/rested, i might be wrong but someone had to make way.


Curious to know who the sub is, with wallis, gia, higgins and libba, logic would say Gia is going to be the sub!
Higgins and Libba have been recently, Wallis is starting to play some good footy and would be a bad move to relegate him back to being a sub. That leaves Gia.
Perhaps it will be another half time sub like last week.

I'd go with DJ. He has the lethal combo of speed/burst + not being very good that makes you suited to being a sub.

That or Libba/Wally because of too much grunt/not enough speed (which is no doubt the case, just that I rate Wally/Libba more).

I think the sub role would really hurt Gia as he hasn't got speed and is a more of an intelligent, find his way into the game type of player.

I think DJ was named on the forward pocket.

I'd rather give Lake some responsibility to shut someone down rather than chasing kicks 20m off his opponent.

Don't understand the Grant omission? They list hips but it's just rest. I thought he'd been playing well over his last two games and would have thought playing against one of teh leagues best would help him. No I haven't given up on Grant yet.

Cordy unlucky. I listed he or Roughead as my outs so not surprised one of them makes way. I hope "back" is cover for rest.

Talia, Smith and Dickson on the emergency list. I've got my doubts on Coons and would expect to see Dickson in for him.

Bollocks. Ghost Dog has a lot of time for DJ.

Re: Match Committee- Round 6 vs Collingwood

Last time we played the filth, Brian Lake made Leigh Brown look like Wayne Carey. I hope 'old' Brian is banished for good because that was a sad sight to see last year. He's not back to AA form yet but hopefully he continues to take steps in the right direction. God knows we need him at or near his peak tonight.

FWIW I'd still play him on the lesser forward, Dawes. Let Cloke smash it. If Austin takes Dawes instead, he is a good enough player to dominate and Cloke will just play the support role and run Lake into the ground by opening up the forward 50 for Dawes to monster Austin. Whoever Austin gets will dominate tonight so I'd rather it is the player further from goals (Cloke) so that we preserve some of Lake's attacking drive and ability to cut off the most dangerous forward entries. Put Lake in a purely defensive mindset on someone like Cloke and it will end in tears.

Re: Match Committee- Round 6 vs Collingwood

A lot of hate for Easton Wood. What an absolute ripping game he played until he did his hammy. Some massive contested marks, some dash and found targets. Just played with real confidence.

Very disappointing that he will miss a minimum of three (according to Peter Larkins).

It was easily his best game for the club.

A real shame he got injured. We looked unsettled after he went off a bit.

I do too. I don't mean he is crap, I mean he isn't very good. I think when it come to the sub rule, some people try to be too clever by half. A massive part of who becomes the sub is how close they are to the 22nd pick. I like DJ but he isn't a star, he does his job. His role is also suited to being a sub.

Fair enough. Not sure about that. We need someone to do what Sedat calls " the donkey work" down back then bring on some lighter bodied as the sub who can run and harass? I doubt he has the pace to get into the game at a late stage?

The thing I like about Addison is he doesn't get ruffled. Does turn the ball over now and again but is capable of alot of that bullocking work Mitch Hahn used to do.
