Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Would hate to see Jones thrust into [ even part time 2nd] ruck until he has another 5-8kg on his frame. Then maybe, if it were needed.
That would be as big a risk as it was last year to try using Tommy W. that way. Underdeveloped kids, or fragile individuals [ in TW's case] is just to big a risk, for to little potential reward.
We have Will., Campbell and Roughy who are all sufficiently physically developed to cope, why the hell would you risk anyone else?
Makes no sense to me at all, at this time.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Am I? I said Roughy and Jones out and only Minson as a big man in.

Apologies, so we go with Campbell, Cordy and Minson?

I'm not sure on playing Minson and Campbell in the same side.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Minson is an unrestricted free agent. Rather than trade him, all we could do is watch him walk away. The AFL would give us a 3rd rounder as compensation, though.

Won't that depend on what contract he is offered?

Mostly it would depend on a whim of the AFL

They would have to feel sorry for us(or I hope they do) as that would be three players in three years they have caused us to lose.

They? I think we have been our worst own enemy in losing Harbrow, Ward and possibly Minson.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

In: Minson, Hargrave, Djerrkura, Sherman, Grant
Out: Gia, Addison, Cordy, Smith, Campbell

Campbell was good last week, but his fitness levels aren't where Roughy's are.

Jones gets the nod over Cordy.... just.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Campbell was good last week, but his fitness levels aren't where Roughy's are.

He was pretty tired in the second half last week.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

We definitely need some pace so would bring in DJ and Sherman (even though from reports he has been average at best at Willi). Where is Grant at? Is he fit enough to come back into the side?

Earlier on in the season I was of the opinion that Jones should stay in the seniors but I have changed my mind and think that it is best he spent a couple of games (at least) at Willi to get some confidence back. Same goes for Roughy. I would like to see Campbell have a go at FF, though that leaves me thinking what to do with Cordy - can't see them both being selected. Therefore Campbell heads back down to Willi

Ins: DJ, Minson, Sherman, Grant (? depends on fitness)
Outs: Gia, Jones, Roughy, Campbell

If Jones and Roughy are dropped who plays at CHF?

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

I'll take a stab this week. I'm sure the actual changes will be a little more conservative though.

In - Minson, Grant, Djerrkura, Panos, Sherman
Out - Cordy, Cooney, Smith, Roughead, Giansiracusa

Minson in for obvious reasons.

I'm taking Jones over Cordy this week, play Jones at CHF and leave the FF spot open for....

Panos, promoted him to the senior list after last season and it's the perfect chance to get some games into him. I'm still not sold but what have we got to lose.

DJ comes in to provide some pace and pressure in the forward half.

Don't know what's been going on with Grant but I'd have him back into the team. His presence up forward has been missed. 2nd efforts, tackling, chasing have all improved a lot this season.

Sherman in for more run and carry.

Campbell over Roughead. Nothing to do with Roughy's game as he was OK on Saturday but more to do with Campbell getting a string of games together.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

This week we combat....

Hille and Ryder and speed and speed and speed.

I think Minson, DJ and Sherman will be automatic inclusions. Jones, Gia & Roughie or Ayce Out
