You cheeky sausage.

It is a difficult task for the selectors to find a spot for our recruits. Stringer, Macrae and Hrovat all need to be tried.

Might have to leave out one of Higgins, Gia or Cross. The selection panel might just have to make a courageous and proactive decision.

The coach might be persevering with Cordy and Jones.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Can Young be the replacement? Both about the same height.

The other thing Riewoldt stages for a lot of frees and I believe he got 3 or 4 from frees on the weekend. Morris will have to be careful, he is a slippery customer.

I'm not sure he's that type of player. He's about the same size physically but I think Young's more of a third tall/rebounding defender, more like Hargrave, which is fine because we need that type too. We really want a physically strong player that can shutdown the slightly shorter and more athletic key forwards. I think Talia may develop into that player, plus he's a little bit more offensive than Morris. Although I doubt he could cover smalls the way Morris has.

If Young and Talia can make it as good players, with Roughead we have a very nice mix in defence. They will need plenty of matches together but their age profile is perfect.

Look how essential Nick Lower suddenly became to the team?
If Lower can stop Mundy and hold Rich, then I think Cochin knows he's in for a battle.

Morris did well on Jack in the NAB. Who was on Vickery in the Nab and how did they go?

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Higgens gets wayy too much attention from our supporters! He regularly scores and is getting on the park more often. I know everybody pencils in 6 points when he's running into the 50, very good kicking skills and is important to the team. This is Gia's last full season as higgens and Dickson are our future. No changes this week bar injury. Richmond may get a suprise this weekend for Crossy's 200th

Roughy took vickery for the nab, Morris to jack, picken to Martin while playing forward and lower will take cotchin again. Think we will win this week and Minson in top form compared to Maric who is having a fairly average start to the season. If only Boydy was in for his mates 200th!

Roughead. I thought he beat Vickery pretty convincingly.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

I am concerned about marking power in the forward line. Therefore:

Stringer in for either of Dickson or Gia (they had bad games against Freo). Stringer to play FF. Cordy to play FP/changing ruck. Murphy or Higgins to HFF.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

No change. Fremantle is a very hard team to play against and after our great win the week before all players deserve another chance to atone.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Dont know how supporters can ask for a change to the squad for players who had 1 average game against a very good side. They all keep their spots unless injuries stops them from playing. Soreness shouldnt be an issue as they get an 8 day break

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Gut feel Wood will come in, not sure who will be out (maybe JJ)

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Hmm, well unless there is an injury i can't see Markovic finding a spot, Macrae the same or if they drop someone for form.

I could understand Wood's inclusion, but just not sure who would go for him, unless maybe JJ, who has been ok without either starring or failing. Lost his man a little bit last week and wasn't able to provide a lot of run and carry, but it was the Dockers.
Would be a little unfair if he was dropped.

I don't think they could make any changes to be honest.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

I think no change but JJ was out of gas in the last quarter perhaps they will go for a more experienced hardened Wood .. no pun

We still need to inject more pace into the team. I would be happy to play Macrae at the expense of Higgins and have Wood play on a centre wing replacing Smith.
Markovic could be a good match for Vickery allowing Roughead to move forward and omit either Cordy or Jones. There is a danger of us stagnating by continuing with Cordy and Jones.Morris would then play on Riewolt.

They've just spent the week talking up Roughead at Full Back, why would they move him forward? There is a .01% chance that happens. I pray that Marko doesn't play. I'd also be disappointed if JJ goes out for Wood.
