Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

Looks good. Wouldn't mind Young for Cross though.

Like everyone said he wasn't a well man yesterday. Don't expect him to be right for next week. But yeah I'd have no complaints about switching Cross and Young.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

Two of Addison/Wallis/Dickson need to go. Given that Smith got injured, it may save Wallis, but Lower (or Cross) could be preferred.

I'd be inclined to give Stringer a game at VFL, but I'd bring Macrae straight back in.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

Smith is through injury? And Roberts goes from the development team to the seniors?

Why not. In my opinion we were one tall short today. I don't count Grant as a tall and he shouldn't be playing a KP role. Of course Smith out due to injury.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

Out: Smith, Addison

In: Macrae, Stringer

VFL performances weren't enough for a recall other than Campbell, Austin and Cross, but can't see them getting recalled. Campbell is very close, but persevere with what we have for now.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

It's a big ground in Tassie so we need some running power

Out: - Smith (injured) Addison (Form) Dickson (Form) Wallis (Form)
In: - Lower, Cross, Macrae and Stringer

Picken will have to mind Cyril
Lower to Mitchell now that Smith is out
Macrae to five us some poise
Stringer to replace Dickson
Cross to provide some more on field experience.

Whoops. This falls into the category of something I didn't know

He played tall today and wasnt too shabby.

Out: Dickson and Addison (omitted), Smith (inj)

In: Macrae and Stringer, and Cross

As good as Campbell was I'd rather he build up consistency at the lower level than play 10% in the ruck at AFL level and struggle again. Dominating VFL didn't seem to hinder Minsons development.

Would like Young in but obviously he isn't available.

Cross deserves a recall and I think will offer us more around the ground than Lower will, who hasn't been too impressive as a tagger in recent times.

Would love Campbell to bring that marking and long penetrative kicking deep into the forward line that he displayed on Saturday. It will happen in time.

I thought Wallis did a few good things today, although hasn't quite turned the corner. Addison gets another chance based Dickson not quite being able to have an impact 3 weeks in a row.

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

I'd love to see Campbell come in for next week. We need to try and stretch their defence with a bit of height. And definitely bring back macrae and stringer, and lower. I wouldn't drop addo. Even though he struggled he's hard at it, and can change ends if needed. So outs are smith, Dickson, probably addo(even after what I said, and wallis.

I agree with your ins and outs and would add another in promoting Campbell as a fourth change replacing Wallis. Our lack of height against Essendon was obvious and will be needed against Hawthorn. Both Campbell and Cross were very good for Williamstown yesterday. Campbell's overhead marking was as good as I have seen from him.
Cross will provide the aggression that is needed with Smith's untimely loss.

Loved his game but what I am saying he is a Either a forward pocket or half forward

Re: Match Committee - Round 17 vs Hawthorn

In- McCrae, Stringer, Lower

Out- Smith, Addison, Wallis

Smith is a huge loss, Lower to come in and play his run with role on Mitchell or Hodge. Addison struggled and Stringer is rested. Wallis is a huge concern and McCrae gives us more run and better ball use.

Out - Addison, Smith, Dickson

My thoughts on Cross' future at the club are well known, though his excellent work in the VFL shouldn't be ignored and I think there's a job for him to do on Mitchell or Hodge. Neither of these guys are very quick, and Cross will be able to run on them all day. Unsure how well Lower has been doing at VFL level, and with putting Picken into a genuine tagging role on Rioli there's no spot for him.

Dickson either needs fitness or is just putridly out of form. He needs to put together a couple of very good weeks in the VFL before coming back.

I think I'd prefer not to see Addison in the side again this year. We can't afford somebody of his age and experience to fumble as much as he did. Our team doesn't need to play plodders any more, rather, we need to put talented young people in for extended periods and have them develop.

Wallis is lucky survive. He should be started as the sub, and needs to make an impact as soon as he comes on.
