Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

Boyd then will come back I'm guessing next week away to the Crows or in Round 5 when we play the Cats at Etihad our next home game.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

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.

I like the boldness of your thinking. I think we need to do something like that.

I'm not sure putting a quick first gamer in at the expense of an experienced player who's had one excellent game and one poor game is the way to go, just to speed things up a bit.

I don't like the idea of Wood playing this week, I think some more exposed form at Williamstown is required.

Roughead should really stay back, it's where he's been pinned for development and I can't see how Markovic playing will take us forwards. Same goes with Jones and Cordy, they're earmarked long term for the duties they're performing to this point, it seems a touch silly to me to not give them some continuity doing so.

Nah come on dude, think outside the square, let's *!*!*!*! everything we're trying to build because we lost a game where we played about to expectations.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

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

Got a feeling this will happen.

Higgins, Wood, Stevens and Dahlhaus on the pine.

No idea on the sub?

Agree.....take a look at the video of Rhan Smith announcing the team. He talks about McCrae being a possible inclusion but talks about Wood as if he is a lock for Sunday. Just a question of who goes out. The fact that Clay Smith is named in the starting line-up generally suggests he will play. The fact that JJ is named on the extended bench would suggest he will miss.

You lay your sarcasm on with a cement trowel.

Fair call but it's not really a medium for subtlety. I don't understand why we'd move Roughead who has shown some fantastic signs at Full Back, and has spent a whole pre-season preparing to play there, to bring in a VFL level replacement and play Roughy in another role (forward) where he has shown only a moderate aptness.

Final side, JJ out Wood in

Great call, this is what has happened.

Looks like the weekly move Lake forward calls are going to be replaced with move Roughead forward calls!

Disappointed by that. I don't think Wood has any form related compelling case to be immediately introduced. I'd argue JJ has shown more than Wood in the past 12 months.

My mail is that JJ is a bit sore - might be a chance for him to recover.

It might be a case of player management with the less developed players.

Re: Match Committee- Round 3 vs Richmond

I don't like players coming in without going through the VFL. Did Wood do that?

My perception is, that's one area where Rocket and BMac tend to differ.
