Match Committee- Round 2 vs Fremantle

[Greystache]

If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for next Saturday's game against Fremantle at Etihad Stadium?

A brief explanation for your changes would be good.

Any changes for next week?

Re: Match Committee- Round 2 vs Fremantle

Saw Stevens was hobbling after being subbed, so depending on how he pulls up there might be a change.

Re: Match Committee- Round 2 vs Fremantle

Both Williams and Wood suggested they will play for Williamstown next week. Talia might be a chance if we feel we need an extra tall.

I don't anyone needs to be dropped so it probably comes down to match-ups and team balance

Apparently Stevens is going for scans, but they think he'll be right.

Match-ups permitting I wouldn't expect many (or any) changes.

Stevens has a Hammy concern so that might be an issue.

I know you don't always believe the Presser, but B-Mac said it was a corky.

I was just going on the guy sitting behind me who heard something on the radio. If it's just a corky then he should be fine.

I was hoping Stringer would get his chance next week, but after today's performance I'm happy to wait a bit longer!

Will be interesting to see how Dahl pulls up, that looked like a nasty corky.

Would go in unchanged if we have a clean bill of health.

I think Macca said it was a cramp.

He ran it out though, I believe (I know you can't "run out" a corkie, but the really bad ones keep you off the ground). Hopefully he pulls up ok.

Swap the subs around. Start Clay this week.

Jonesy would have Jake in his rear view mirror.

"Running it out" doesn't necessarily slow the bleeding. He'll be a sore boy this morning and will need to be managed accordingly. I think he should be right but would be surprised if he isn't.

Re: Match Committee- Round 2 vs Fremantle

I can't see many changes this week, barring Dahlhaus or Stevens not getting up for the game. It sounds like no one at Williamstown has really put their hand up.

Start Smith and and make Stevens the sub to lighten his workload. Our balance was excellent this week and I really liked that we didn't have any players who can't win a contest.
