Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Interesting - how come?

Not sure if serious, in either initial suggestion or question, but Libba has been out of the AFL coaching system for 5 years and his stint then ended badly with him burning bridges on the way (not to mention some of the spats he has had within our club). He would in no way be the best candidate if the role was to become available and to institute a former club legend for romance's sake is folly of the highest order.

He has to mean Tom? Playing Coach?
Blimey it's getting very Big footy on here.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

In: Boyd, Hunter, Jones
Out: Stevens, Howard, Williams,

I'm inclined to keep Bonts in the side, agree he is still raw, but this will fast track his development which good god we need.
And surprised with the amount of vitriol directed to Tutt, he has the one thing we are a lacking most other than a key forward which is some outside run.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Out: Stevens, Williams, Howard.
In: Hunter, Cordy, Stringer.

For mine Stevens and Tutt are both what I would describe as 'play changers'. When they get the ball, it's nearly always the case that they will disrupt the play that's in motion - for better or for worse. There's no predictability there for teammates to feed off, and I don't think they can both play in the same team. Stevens goes.

Williams didn't play terribly, I absolutely loved the tap and shepherd to create the first goal of the game, but he just isn't providing the physicality that we need to bust open some spaces in the forward fifty.

I'm glad Howard was given a second game, there was nothing so awful in his first to suggest breaking that policy, but on his performance he has to be dropped.

Hunter put in a good performance for Footscray and is one of the few players on our list who has genuine forward smarts.

It sounds as though Ayce played the perfect second ruck role at Footscray, he comes in to help Big Will and provide a presence up forward.

Stringer comes back into the side after playing well for Footscray, let's see how this Grant-Crameri-Stringer forward structure operates.

If Boyd is right to go, then he comes in instead of Stringer.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

In Boyd Jones JJ Campbell Talia
Out Howard(Never To return)Wlliams (sorry Tom you are not a forward)Stevens Bonti(Not Ready yet)Higgins(inj)
Think Talia has to play Pies have a big forward line Cloke White Witts and we must get games into him.
JJ To provide much needed run Gia to play full game Tutt to be sub.Campbell Must play to give Will a Chop out and at least TC gives us something to kick to.
A forward line of Grant Crameri Campbell Jones will make us more dangerous.

These are desperate times.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Changes are needed, not just one, but multiple. To lose games we should win or to lack competitiveness and the consequences being only one or maybe two changes to the lineup sends a poor message to the playing group and supporters alike. For many seasons I've thought that the achillies heel of this football club has been the match committee's ability to put together a compedative team. Will Minson is in terrible form, but we play one ruckman. Too many players of the same mold. Rant over.....
Outs: Howard, Tutt, Williams, Stevens
In: Cordy, Redpath, Jones, JJ

Why would you drop Wallis, he was one of our better players on the night.

I'm guessing for gogriff but maybe Boyd and Wallis in the same side is overkill and that might be the reason

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Out- Howard, Williams, Stevens
In- JJ, Cordy, Boyd

Can't believe I am advocating Cordy getting a game.

[Bornadog]

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

I don't believe Williams will be dropped. Kicked two goals and did some good things in assisting a couple of other goals.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Boyd, Cordy and possibly Campbell need to come in for my mind.
Not even going to guess who gets dropped as the match committee seems to differ so much from any of my thoughts.

When Brisbane got on top Taylor, Green and Zorko were literally running rings around us. We don't need an inside tagger like Wallis in the side, we need more speed

Would it the be better then to keep Mitch in and leave out Boyd ?
