    Re: Match Committee- Round 2 vs Fremantle

    Start smith as mentioned. Other then that no change

    I like how we have lower and picken who are both very good taggers but can damage the opposition.

    Bring on freeo think we have something to prove after our 100 point loss a few weeks ago

    Any big outs for freeo this week?

      Ballantyne is out.

      Pavlich had surgery on his hand but is expected to play.

      Sandilands also an obvious one.

        Yeah no change other than for injury.

        If we are forced into a change I would go with Tutt to bring us some run but really would love to stick with structure from Round 1.

          If Stevens and/or Dahlhaus don't get up, I'd love to see Macrae get a crack at it. Tutt would probably be next in line?

            I think he might have copped it in the sciatic (spel?) nerve at the back of the leg - would give him a really painful dead leg, but not necessarily any damage in itself.

            If Stevens cant play, bring in Stringer as the sub I reckon.

            Just watched the reply and I noticed a lot of stuff Cordy was doing that I didnt notice from the stands. Blocks and tackles and such. I think him and Jones might get some real chemistry going. He might not be the the best pack mark going around but he seems like a smart player, and at 202cm the opposition cant ignore him. I think we just need to be patient and see if we can get a 'twin towers' thing happening for us, finally.

              He got in the best players for Williamstown today so I'd expect him to be at the front of the queue.

                I was thinking the same thing as I was watching the replay. Cordy has a long way to go before he becomes a formidable forward but he is working really hard off the ball for his team mates. This is what you want to see from your young players. I've always been a fan of McCartney and I think this is an example of his coaching coming to the fore. It was great to see him kick a couple goals, and he would've had probably 4 if he held those sitter chest marks.
                They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

                  Yep, Macrae was the 3rd best player for Willi on what I saw. Tutt would be a chance as well.

                  Stringer isn't ready yet.

                      He was very good early in the match, i was very surprised as i hadn't seen him do anything like that before. He did start to drop a few marks he should of taken but overall it was easily his best game.

                      Jones i thought was back to his best in regards to defensive efforts. Last year he didn't apply much pressure where he had in previous years. Jones's efforts set the tone in the forward line early. The dissapointing part was his marking, still running under the ball, but i think this is largely due to Merrett. If Jones struggles to mark early then he starts running under the ball and trying to find other ways to mark the ball out of frustration, and it doesn't work. He needs to work on his smarts and know that providing a contest is far better than running under the ball and not even getting a hand on it.

                      No changes for me, I'd like Smith starting this week, maybe Stevens as the sub.

                        Good call, especially since his last two games he has been under an injury cloud.
