Match Committee- Round 8 vs Gold Coast

[Greystache]

If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for next weekend's match against Gold Coast in Darwin?

A brief explanation for your selections would be good.

Can we make many changes? Is Austin doing enough to hold his spot?

I think Austin is getting better with each game, he now is starting to create as well as defend. Deserves his spot at this stage.

Jones, Cooney at a minimum.

You need to list a couple of outs to balance things.

That's the trouble on today's effort. Smith and either of Ruffy or Cordy but on reflection maybe Jones will get a VFL game.

I thought Cordy performed well inside our forward fifty. Is holding a few more marks than Jones?

With all due respects the forward line looked a lot better without Jones. I would suggest just the one change next week with Cooney back to replace Smith.

High praise of Austin from Malthouse. I agree with azabob, he is getting better every week.

I would drop Smith and Roughead for Jones and Cooney

What did he say BAD?

I'd drop Smith for Cooney.

The Cordy/Roughy/Minson combo has worked well the last two weeks.

My mate had the radio in his ear so I didn't hear it directly, but commented how well he was playing and spoiling the balls that never looked like they should have been spoiled.

I think Austin was very good last week and this. He is a good pickup and still only 23 for a big man.

He also took a couple of nice marks. He appears to be stronger than he looks.

No way. Smith was right into it today. A good choice as sub. Needs urgent help with his kicking. Hard to understand how Dahlhaus can get so much distance while Clay can't.

You're kidding me. If we had 1 decent tall forward in the first half we would have been 5+ goals in front.
Jones has to play. We have 4 developing talls there and he is the best of the lot ATM.
