Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

[The bulldog tragician]

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

I thought Tutt was reasonable
In Boyd Hunter Redpath ( elevate for Christ sake)Campbell JJ
Out- Minson ( beaten up by a third stringer) Williams ( not the answer) Stevens ( another one pacer)Howard ( even prefer John Howard, and that's saying something Higgins ( I'd say his injured)

You've at least raised my first smile since 1/4 time Remi.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

I will add some reasons later but at the moment it's

In JJ, Hunter and Boyd
Out Howard, Stevens and Bonts

I'd consider 3 other players in the mix as well

Surely some semblance of a forward line player has to come in?

It was a rushed effort but I did say there was 3 others I would consider. Jones, Stringer and Redpath were the 3.
I want to stick with Williams so I struggle to know who else to drop.

I thought Grant was disappointing tonight. Just didn't seem to be in the game at all.
I wanted him in 2 weeks back but I got it wrong.

I don't want to make wholesale changes but Tutt is close to being dropped. He has that one skill with his run that we badly need a bit more of.

Hard to help that dysfunctional forward line in your first game. He needs a bigger body around him so does Crameri. One of Jones or Redpath has to come in.

He doesn't seem to have any football smarts. There was a passage of play in front of me in the third quarter where Williams led out but he chose to just slam the ball into the 50 and of course Brisbane just took it away. He really had a shocker tonight.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Take your pick in terms of omissions. Williams, Howard, Tutt, Stevens, Minson. (Bonti - but i'd rather we play him).

That wasn't what disappointed me about his game. Minimal pressure acts and some very lazy leading. He has to play with a higher energy level regardless of what is going on or not going on around him.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

In- Boyd

Out- Tutt

I've given up trying to select teams that I think will make us better, i think we'll just bring in another mature inside mid with poor skills and leave out some run.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Outs - Howard, Stevens and Williams - (assuming Higgins is right)

Ins - Redpath, JJ, Campbell - if Higgins is injured, bring in Honeychurch for his taste.

My rationale is, our forward line needs some targets, Redpath has had a good month of football and should be given an opportunity for at least 4-5 weeks to show what he's got. Chances are he'll offer more than Howard.

JJ is required for his run and taking the game on - he hasn't had a great year, but he has the talent and we should persist with him for a block of games. I like Stevens, but he needs to slim down a bit and improve his speed, work on his disposal and decision making.

Campbell for Williams, again Campbell hasn't had a great year, but we simply need to persist with him - he's our best chance to take a contested mark and split a pack up forward. He can offer some more relief in the ruck.

I hope Higgins is ok, but if not, I'd bring in Honeychurch. He needs an opportunity to play some AFL and whilst it might not be the best week to bring him in, I'd reward him and see how he goes. If we do, I'd move Griff to half back to replace Higgins, have Dahl and Hrovat spend more time up field.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Is it time to send a message and drop Minson for Campbell? You don't realise how hard it is for me to suggest this.

Re: Match Committee - Round 13 vs Collingwood

Out : Howard Wallis Stevens
In : Boyd 1 of Campbell/Redpath/Jones JJ

I agree. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago we've got to find ways to get Campbell into the team as a Ruckman not a Forward/Ruck. Now is the time.
