Roughy, Ayce and Liam .
Way to top heavy, and a lack of run

Yep - going in slow again.

Assuming Ves is part of the random player rotation...bewildering

Saw Macca chewing him out on the bench at one stage and figured this might be coming. Fairly hard done by in my opinion. Shame he isn't more of a leader.

Vez actually gave us a bit when he went forward.. Strange move.

I get the feeling he's not a favourite for one reason or another. He's got deficiencies for sure but I think his attributes are the ones that we struggle for which elevates his value slightly. He certainly showed some good nous up forward against the Swans and to me he's a player who'll continue to benefit from more senior football.

I don't think BMac rewards "poor behaviour". Grant has been sent to boot camp and Ves will be a borderline best 22 player and will play a fair bit at Willi until they prepare themselves better and are physically capable of repeat efforts and adhering to team structures. (Just my take on Ves given the recent interviews with the coach.)

Re: Match Committee- Round 12 vs Port Adelaide

Is there any chance he'll play? I've got to be quite honest - I couldn't pick him out of a line up - has he been playing exceptionally well for Willy?

Has shown great poise down back. As SS said, has been taking the kick-ins and doing a good job of that. We do lack a few of those 'all round', 'basketball pysique' types a coach can slot in all over the ground. A reasonably fast, mid sized player with a reliable foot, getting up around 195cm - we need more of those. Fletcher I very much like as a player but I find it hard to define. A good mix of attributes?

Vezpremi missed some straight forward shots on goal last week. He'll be made redundant if he can't kick those. Should be his bread and butter, wet or not, 45m out straight on. He's not young by AFL standards and been in the system a while. Hope he stays up forward and is made to assume a bit more responsibility. If he gets outscored by Andjres Everitt this season I'll be filthy!!

In all, hope we can explore a few new mixes as we build up: happy to see Gia have a run in the midfield or Roughy to go down back. Mix it up a bit and see who shines in different roles.

He also kicked one and managed to show enough smarts to put himself in good positions to get the ball in the first place, which put him ahead of a few guys I can think of. He may not be uber young but is still relatively inexperienced at AFL level on total games. I seem to rate him a little higher than most just on basic talent level but regardless I would have liked to see him given a forward role this week.

Yes, Fair points. He looks much better in the forward line doesn't he? McCartney seems unconcerned about players missing shots on goals. I think the standard line is ' The little things will take care of themselves'.
