Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

Going with just one tall Cordy makes sense as he can do the ruckwork when the ball is forward to give Roughead and Minson a break , Ted Richards will do the same as Mumford is underdone , Roughead might spend some time dropping back to do the same

If there is a late change it could be Smith in for Skinner to be the Sub

.

Sydney do have a second ruckman playing.

Given Smith played a full game for Williamstown in Melbourne today I'd say that late change is highly unlikely.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

Totally agree, Jones was much, much better last week, his reward is to get dropped... I don't understand that one.

Jones would be alright if he knew how to kick goals. Yet to prove himself at AFL level. Another poor game today for Williamstown justified his dropping. Cordy and Roughead are still a work in progess but I would see both of them ahead of Jones in their development.

Just shows that I did,nt look in the Willi thread before pushing send

So the Z-Man is the Sub then , wet contested footy is heavily in the favour of players who stay on their feet , when he comes on his opponent will most likely position himself in front and let Skinner jump for the ball when it comes in , the wet weather and his hard hands won,t be a good combination and his opponent will be able to break away

Unless of course he gets put at FF to compete for any balls kicked over a contest , his speed and agility could be give Richards problems

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

It's an issue across our entire list of young tall forwards, you could add Jarrad Grant to the list of questionable set shots too. Really of our young key forward Panos is the only natural goal kicker, and his year has been disappointing so far.

Cordy does strike me as more of a natural goal kicker than the other two, however his career record of 3-3 doesn't really indicate that yet.

Too True,

They are all shockers for kicking accuracy, Roughead and Cordy's technique is ok but seems to fall apart under the pressure of goal kicking, where as Jones is a bit unco in general and Grant's legs are all over the place physically and i don't get how the club let him get away with that stupid ball drop.

I really hope it's just a confidence thing with most of them but i fear Jones and Grant will always have problems due to their poor actions and physique.

Not necessarily, Pearce didn't play today so he could still play.

Is this something that they can change at this late stage o his career, I recall we touched on this many threads ago and it was offered up as you work with what you've got and not change to much.

For me this should have been built into the workings on the prospects of drafting him. Concern to see that out of anyone over the age of 6 Grant is the only person I see kick with this type of action.

Campbell seems like a good shot on goal, or at least he was at the one Bulldogs game I have seen him play in Ballarat.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

I don't live in Sydney, but looking at the radar it doesn't look good. Looks like alot of rain coming.

Will surely be a late change. I can't see Zeph being effective in the wet, still bemused by his selection.

Me too, especially when we have Roughy, Ayce and Will already in the side. Perhaps we planned to have a look at how bad the rain would actually be. I think it would have been a great opportunity to give Clay a crack.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

I'm not suprised that Jones got dropped. I love his contested marking but the fact that he goes back to have his shot on goal looking like a rabbit trapped in the spotlight needs to be worked on.


I'm happy to see Skinner get some consecutive games too. The two goals he has kicked in the last two games have both been from outside 50 at vital stages of those games.

Re: Match Committee- Round 10 vs Sydney

Pearce in for Skinner. He is also the sub.

That's the funniest thing I've read today.... Thanks.

Firstly it is not funny. As BMac said all three players are neck and neck at the moment and they will probably stay that way for a little while. Then no doubt one or two will surge ahead of the other(s).Cordy's game today against Sydney more than stacked up against Jones's yesterday in the VFL.
