Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

The selection committee over the last two weeks seem to suggest otherwise - Jones was a late in when Cordy didn't pull up last week, and he's been named in the selected side ahead of Jones this week.
B-Mac thus far hasn't been one to play games with selection.

No he hasn't but rotations through the side have been very punctuated with some odd ins and outs (i.e. Grant (may be personal) and all of our big men.

Are we rotating our big men by neccessity or form or both? It's a raffle to me who will be in out of Jones, Cordy, Grant and Roughead on a week by week basis.

Geelong had a rotation policy too, perhaps B-Mac is mindful of the fact they're all youngsters and doesn't want to burn them out?

Will be interesting to see how he manages Libba/Wallis/Smith/Dahlhaus as the season progresses

Is that neccesarily a bad thing as long as the players concerned understand and accept the approach? Not having a shot....just asking the question.

Also sussing out who takes their chance on the big stage. Already knows what he can get from Dahl, Clay. I like this approach.

Skinner again? Sub

What does Zephi offer, even as a sub that Sherman doesn't?

Perhaps they want Sherman to work on aspects of his game in the VFL?

Not sure Skinner deserves to stay in the side but often we see posters on here (myself included) criticise the selection committee for not giving young guys enough games in a row to adjust, so maybe thats the philosphy we are adopting.

Surely it's time to see how he goes right from the start though. If we are going to judge if he's good enough he has to be given more than just his 3rd quarter for the year (and 4th ever).

He'd have to be.

I tend to agree.

I don't think he should be playing, but I can understand them trialing him at this level. However, to be fair, he really needs a proper game -- at least three quarters.

Would like to see him get the start but it's really hard to see anyone else taking the green vest this week. Maybe Wood wears the green?

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

We have to find out if Skinner will make an AFL player or not. If he can make the grade we win in spades. If not, let's move on quickly. Don't think we'll get an answer either way if Skinner plays at Willi.

Play Skinner for as long each game as his body/fitness can endure so we can make the judgement we need to make. Places on the list are precious and we can't afford to have project players burning too many opportunities.

Skinner over Jones defies logic to me.
