If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for the game against Fremantle at Pattersons stadium on Sunday? As always a brief explanation for you changes would be good.

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
Please, please enough with the 3 rucks + Jones.
No need to risk Bob. I'd say rest Coons but would it help? Griff looked sore as well.
Wallis should come back in after his rest. The other ins depend on Willi. -
Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
Take your pick.
Jones has been absolutely woeful this year. I don't see how he plays next week on any grounds, unless we decide we want to trial him as a defender. He's been so disappointing this season -- his football smarts (or lack there of) is worrying.
Cooney was again deplorable. Should be dropped.W00F!Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
Out: Jones, Roughead, Campbell, Murphy, Markovic
In: Cordy, Austin, Wallis, Grant, DJ or Tutt (depending on form and fitness)
Campbell unlucky, but we need more pace at Subi.Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
I'm looking at 6 outs this week, but will wait until Willy plays. I definitely won't be picking Howard, Jones or Roughead for next week.Comment

McCartney mentioned in the post match press conferance that Austin, Cordy and Wallis will all come back in after a rest.Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
Agree with this...all 3 were very disappointing tonight, and Jones has been for weeks now. He needs to go back to VFL level for a month and find some confidence plying his trade at the lower level. It is hard enough playing in our forward line and being on the receiving end of our laborious, haphazard inside 50 delivery, let alone doing so with poor workrate and no confidence.
If Moles is fit and performing well in the VFL, I'd like to bring him in sooner rater than later. I'd like to see him get a 4-6 week sustained run to see if he is worth keeping on the list or not. We certainly need his type in the team right now."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
Cordy can stay in the VFL along with Roughie until they push someone out. Minson/Campbell got some scores on the board so I'd happily just take those 2 over to Perth next week.
I've been a big supporter of Jones as well but he needs to go back for a month and really find some form. Maybe he'll get better delivery at Willy.
Murphy will miss, I wouldn't take Cooney over either.
Before seeing what happens in the VFL.
I guess Marko would be under some pressure if Austin is coming back in although I didn't think he was too bad last night.Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
For the life of me, wht wasn't Marko opposed to Hurley last night? He actually smashed Hurley both times we played them last season, and it would have freed up Lake to take the resting ruckman and provide defensive cover and rebound, which is really his go. Crameri would then have been a tricky match-up, but maybe we should have played one less ruckman/tall and selected Austin and Marko instead?"Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: Match Committee- Round 15 vs Fremantle
With the prospect of losing both Murphy and Griffen, I think that it isn't unreasonable to make seven changes following the deplorable performance against Essendon.
I agree the 3 rucks+jones doesn't work.
BMcC has apparently stated that Cordy, Austin and Wallis will all return.
In: Cordy Wallis Austin Gilbee Veszpremi Panos Djerrkura
Out: Murphy Griffen Roughead Addison Jones Sherman Howard
B. Gilbee Lake Markovic
HB Wood Austin Veszpremi
C Wallis Boyd Cross
HF Dickson Cordy Dahlhaus
F Campbell Panos Djerrkura
R Minson Cooney Picken
Int Liberatore Smith Hargrave Higgins
I would retain Cooney in short bursts as an onballer and in the centre. Gilbee and Veszpremi would give us players who can dispose of the ball which we sadly lack at the moment. Campbell is preferred instead of Roughead. The factor against a talented line up as the Bombers proved that players like Sherman Jones Howard and Addison struggle against superior opposition. I am not sure that our MC would be ambitious enough to make so many changes although the losses of Murphy and Griffen are compulsory due to injuries. Panos could be the key forward we need as what we have now is clearly not working and hasn't really worked all year.Comment

Not going to happen but:

C: 4. Daniel Cross, 5. Matthew Boyd, 15. Jason Tutt

In: Austin, Tutt, Williams, Panos, Wallis, Veszpremi
Out: Murphy (inj), Jones, Addison, Roughead, Dickson, Markovic
(Cordy is interchangeable with either of Williams or Campbell, but I prefer Williams because at least he is mobile and will hopefully give us some acceleration up around the field)I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment
