Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

Out:

Cordy (and that's it forever, sorry, don't let the door bang your arse on the way out),
Dickson (1 season wonder - cut at the end of the year)
Stringer (no tank at the moment - bit of a worry.)
Tutt (last quarter goal not enough to save spot next week)
JJ (surely will miss with injury)

In:
Roberts
Young
Picken
Cross
Hunter

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

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

I thought he did some good things. I also think it's silly to bring him up for a week then drop him, especially considering we're likely to lose JJ's run. Was outrun by his opponent a bit but wasn't on his own there. You'd take 18 possies and 2 goals from him most weeks.

Tutt kicked two goals the first a beauty on the run in the first quarter.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

In- Hunter, Roberts, Young, Picken

Out- JJ, Cordy, Stringer, Wallis

JJ is a massive loss and we don't have anyone to replace him really, Young had been good but obviously doesn't have the same run. Cordy just isn't up to it and hasn't improved in the last few years, it's time to make Roberts our next project. Stringer looks knackered and isn't having much impact at the moment. Picken to tag and Wallis is having the least impact.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

In:

Hunter (not sure the reason he was dropped)
Grant (last chance saloon, but has to play to see if he can redeem/revive his career)
Young (was in the first 5 picked before injury)
Roberts (time to see if he can take a step forward)

Out:
Dickson (is underdone, and not talented enough to get by with limited fitness)
Stringer (needs a spell, is a young kid wih an abundance of talent, but he needs to drop down to rediscover what he can do)
JJ (assuming he doesn't pull up)
Cordy (like Dickson is underdone, he needs another pre-season)

Calls for Cross to come back in are short sighted, his time is over. Great servant, but lets move on!

I know that. Every time I see him, though, I find he just about always fumbles the ball. He has block hands.

We're really going to miss JJ for the rest of the year. I don't know who will replace that run he gives us.

There simply isn't a lot of options. It's been a good year for his development though.

Well maybe Pearce has to step up

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

I'll throw a wild one out there, could we give Grant a shot or is the defensive side not up to scratch.
And would he have enough tricks to move the ball on.
We are at a loss with JJ type of player, I can see Murphy having to go back again.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

My view is we have no hope of getting close, so we may as well develop the kids,

Hunter (play the kid until the end of the year)
Young (we need his run)
Grant / Roberts (I would play Grant ahead of Roberts but only if he commits to tackle, we could do with his pace and smarts around the or wad line)

Outs:
The forward coach, what the hell are we paying him for!
Stevens (I thought he was really poor and just turned the ball over, can't see what he brings to the table)
Cordy (he needs to finish the Season down at willie)
JJ (injured)

I think it's not tie to give a fair well game to Cross/Gia/Boyd but we really need to look to next year and start now and advertise for coaches now.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Essendon

Although i know what you all mean, It is funny the term "rest" used when talking about Stringer. This is the last thing he needs. Yes he needs to drop down to the VFL, but for the opposite to rest, he needs to start getting the ball and working hard with it. Has to hurt his development seeing limited ball time. I'd almost go one week in one week out with him.

On further reflection, B4L, I was too harsh on Tutt. But he does fumble a lot.

In and outs: Tom Boyd for Ayce Cordy, Jack Billings for Tory Dickson, Matt Scharenberg for Jason Johannisen.
