Match Committee- Round 22 vs Geelong

[Greystache]

If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for next Sunday's game against Geelong at Skilled Stadium.

As always a brief explanation for your changes would be good.

Re: Match Committee- Round 22 vs Geelong

Just some quick thoughts.

In Hargrave, Gilbee and Grant
Out Roberts, Djerrkura and Skinner

Hargrave and Gilbee should be given send off games and Grant should play out the balance of the season.

Roberts struggled with his fitness and skills, Djerrkura just can't string enough good football together and I think Skinner hasn't done enough.

I'm not sure if someone could come in for Cordy but I would consider it.

Re: Match Committee- Round 22 vs Geelong

Only minor changes for me

Out: DJ (nowhere near AFL standard), Skinner, Cordy

In: Jones, Grant and Gilbee


Don't expect to see Hargrave in the tri-colours again, would like to see Gilbee get a send off.

I saw JJ limp to the bench holding his hammy.

Interesting to see if Hargrave and Gilbee get farewell games (assuming the rumors are true). Grants papers may already be stamped, can't see why we would not play him before DJ.

Re: Match Committee- Round 22 vs Geelong

I'll second the above. I think thats three fairly solid straight swaps.

If DJ hasn't played his last game for this club there's something seriously wrong. He's had chance after chance after chance. Skinner tries hard, but he's simply not good enough. I don't particularly believe that Roberts should be dropped as such but Hargrave has earned one last game if he isn't going to go on next year, you'd think that surely that decision has been made already.

Why just pick on DJ, the other 2 aren't AFL standard either.

Panos in for Cordy.

While I can't speak for SP, the answer I'd give is that Cordy is still a work in progress and Skinner (while I accept he's probably not going to make it) is in his second year in the AFL. DJ has had 4 years in the system (Again, I'll concede that so has Cordy but injuries have let him down) and was absolutely awful today.

DJ's had 6 years in the system if you can believe it, 4 years at Geelong and 2 years with us. A rolled gold eker.

I knew that was coming

I'll go the other one and have Hill in for Skinner.

I stand corrected. That means he had 2 years on Geelong's list where he didn't even play seniors.

Re: Match Committee- Round 22 vs Geelong

Four Changes...

OUT - Djerrkura (I shook my head when we recruited him...words simply fail me), Cordy (absolute shocker today, squibbed it in front of the members wing at one stage), Roberts (I think glaciers move quicker) and Skinner (does look get when he gets the ball...but rarely does).

IN - Panos (give him a go FFS), Jones (play him CHB), Hargrave and Gilbee as a farewll reward for what they have given over the years.

Yep 4 games in 4 seasons, which makes me wonder why we were so keen to get him.

All bar Panos would get my vote. I'd replace Panos for Grant.
