Are we giving him a farewell game?

McCartney will give him a chance to see whether to retain him for 2013 (providing he has not made his decision).

But does he deserve a game?

Re: Match Committee - Round 20 vs Richmond

So Libba is an obvious out. Tutt has injured his hammy and will miss as well. I'll have another go at my selections

Nothing was mentioned about Dahlhaus on the injury report so I'm going to assume he's good to go.

Out: Campbell, DJ, Libba, Tutt
In: Wood, Williams, Sherman, Dahlhaus

If Dahl is fit, these would be very close to my changes also. Would also consider a forward (like Panos) for Skinner.

If Dahl isn't fit, I gues they'd go with DJ again - I'd rather give Hooper one last shot than DJ. That's said with not a great deal of enthusiasm I might add.

With Roughhead & Williams in, I think it's very silly playing Campbell

He has been injured the majority of the year and was named in the bests in the last game.
Did Skinner deserve a game?

Yeah, I don't think he did.

Re: Match Committee - Round 20 vs Richmond

DJ does a lot of running around without finding the ball. Tends to fumble as well. The question is whether this is a permanent state or whether he just requires time and patience. I like his attack and his energy but he lacks finesse and balance. I'd persevere with him for now. Get successive games into him to see if any improvement is possible.

Skinner has a long way to go, but again experience and durability can't be bought in 5 seconds. Play him for the experience and education.

Sherman on the other hand represents a problem in that he does not appear to follow instructions and structures. Was he one of those wandering around aimlessly that Macca mentioned a couple of weeks ago? JJ may well have his spot covered.

Luke Dahlhaus out for the season with an ankle injury.

Tell me it's not true!!

Well at least all the youngsters get a go.

Can we pull off a west coast like season next season and shoot up the table with all these young guys getting games this season and last? Or would we be another 2 pre seasons away from that happening?

We have had richmonds measure recently but I think the player selection this week out of the available we have is going to see us fall short with another 8-10 goal defeat.

DJ and Skinner can't play. Cut our losses and move on, there is no more point to playing them this year than there is Gilbee or Hargrave (at least Gilbee and Hargrave can play and deserve farewells).

Sherman will get another year but could easily see others pass him by.

Agree with all that.

Your thoughts on Veszpremi?

+ 1

It's a shame becuse DJ is 95% of the way there and seems to be a hard worker - but he can't get over his fumbles.

Sherman will be lucky to be offered another contract

Have all of our inclusions this year deserved a game?
