    Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

    If you were on the match committee what changes would you make for next Sundays game against Essendon at Etihad.

    As usual a brief explanation for your changes would be good for discussions.

      Any news on JJ? Ugly hit and may miss next week.

      Will needs help in the ruck but I just don't see him getting any with Cordy. He's got to go back to the VFL.

      Dickson was ordinary and I'd also consider dropping him.

        Out: Cordy, Wallis, Stringer (rest)

        In: Roberts, Grant. Hunter

        The match committee must do something about the forward line. Roberts can't do any worse than 5 handballs for the day.

        Campbell is too lumbering like a Cordy.

            I'll give this some more thought but this doesn't appear to be enough changes. Also we probably have to assume Johannisen won't be playing.

            I'd have Picken, Lower and Cross in the mix

              Yes good point on Picken.

                Grant has to play.
                Ayce was useless today. Stringer badly needs a rest, Macrae could probably do with one as well. Dahl is probably in career worst form - he's only 20, probably needs a week off as well.
                He's been in good VFL form, just give him a chance.

                Don't know what's going on with Ayce, even in his bad games Jones looks significantly more dangerous. At least he always competes hard and provides a strong chase

                  Don't understand why you'd drop Dahl the week after he plays his best game in two months. Picken has to come in but Lower and Cross? Could we get any slower?

                  I suspect the MC is going to stick with Cordy no matter what....even though I agree Fletcher would be a better bet.

                  In: Picken, Young
                  Out : JJ (assuming he's not right), Tutt
                  I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                    Not sure what game you were watching .
                    Dahlhaus played well, as did Macrae.
                    Stringer struggled, Cordy has one arm and gets outbodied.
                    Don't think I'd be Bringing in Cross ( we already have to many one paced types)

                      Dahl was good in the last.
                      More that he'd be better with a week off to rest rather than criticism of his game

                        Grant does not have to play at all. he's a turnip. His form at willy is lamentable, he doesn't deserve a game simple really.

                        Out: Dickson, Cordy, Stringer
                        In: Hunter, Roberts, Cross

                          Time to change up the forward line

                          In: Grant, Roberts, Hunter
                          Out: Jones, Cordy, Stringer
                          If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                            I thought Tutt redeemed himself with a good last quarter, but I guess overall he was not great. I would give him another week.

                              Agree. Kicked a couple of goals. Definitely not the worse. Be silly to drop him after one week.
