Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

[Greystache]

If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for the game against Essendon at Etihad on Saturday night?

A brief explanation for your changes as always would be good.

Is it possible to drop everyone bar 2 or 3?

In: Minson, Hargrave, Djerrkura
Out: Jones, Roughead, Smith
Based on our performance today you could quite easily make up to 6 changes. The one feature being Tom Campbell's debut with 29 hitouts. Our lack of pace and skill was a major problem today. Minson and Hargrave will add badly needed experience with Djerrkura giving us a crumbing forward which is sadly lacking. Jones, Cordy and Roughead together on the forward line is too slow and cumbersome. This would have been our worst performance for the year.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Ins
Minson
Panos give him 3 weeks too see what he brings (at least he can kick)
Sherman ( need the leg speed desperately)
Hargrave
Markovic or williams
Djkerra

Outs
Jones
Cordy ( could do with a spell)
Roughed (like to see Campbell again)
Clay smith ( not a footballer at this stage needs to learn the game and some poise)
Austin ( not a genuine key back)
Addison ( try's hard but just not good enough)

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Ins Minson, Veszpremi, Grant (if fit) and Sherman.
Outs Cordy, Smith, Campbell and Jones.

We need more run and hopefully Veszpremi and Sherman can supply that. Jones misses out due to his form. Cordy was pretty poor today

I think that's about right. If Grant isn't fit- who do we include? And if Shaggy is fit, would he come straight it?

I know what your saying, but this isn't helped by having Gia, Higgins, Dickson & Cooney as the smalls.

Plus our field kicking to advantage is almost non-existent.

Hargrave will be back and I should have included him. Williams said today he will play for Williamstown next week. He's not 100% in fact he's is far from it but it's unlikely to get worse. Said his injured arm is a lot smaller than the other

Out: Roughy, Jones, Smith, Cooney (Rest)

Our forward line just didn't function today, insipid performances by Cordy, Jones, Roughy and Cooney. I would persevere with Cordy at this stage. We need a spark across half forward and id like us to move Murphy there, he just isn't that good defensively (shutting down an opponent) at the moment yet his work in turning defence into attack is good. Hargrave to play in defence, Sherman half forward and Onball, Grant forward, Campbell 80/20 and Minson into the ruck.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

In- Panos, Hargrave, Minson

Out- Roughead, Jones, Smith

Agree with Slim, Murphy needs to go forward, he's a liability in defence and teams are exposing him. He may also add some class to a forward line desperately lacking it.

Cooney created lots of opportunities for himself but couldn't kick goals. I tend to agree with your changes and wouldn't mind chucking in Gia as well and bringing Vez in.

Re: Match Committee- Round 14 vs Essendon

Outs:
Roughhead - needs a spell
Cooney - body failed
Jones - makes baby harp seals cry
Dickson - no defensive pressure.

Ins:
Minson - form was great prior to brain snap.
Sherman - we seriously need leg speed
DJ - Leg spead and run from half back.
Panos - needs a look at the big time.

Those lucky to survive the chop: Wood, Cross, Libba(looks tired)

I was thinking of maybe making Gia or Dickson the sub, but I wouldn't mind that. Vez actually gave us something in the forward line when he was there or maybe debut Panos. At least Panos kicks it well.
