Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

I missed Stringer in the side. There goes my shit theory.

Well not yet.

No one on WOOF would claim to know what the MC would be thinking.

We'll indeed!

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

So are we going to win boys? I'm right up in the tipping was thinking at going the emotional hedge. Tip Melbourne and hope the dogs win. It will be a really good win from the boys considering the outs....

Thoughts?

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

I think we can win but probably expect a loss. Cross out hurts them a fair bit.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

No Williams in the squad, we look small down back unless Redpath goes back there

Melbourne have gone with Gawn, they don't come much taller, maybe to stretch us. No Hogan, Dawes or Mitch Clarke though and they still might stretch us.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Dawes is in.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Like the inclusions
I'd say if Grant pulls out then Jack will get a gig. Time for a look at him in senior company.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Any chance you think Redpath might end up making his debut as a defender?

I don't disagree with you by the way. I'm just pushing a theory and want some validation.

I'd be staggered to be honest.
Although nothing shocks me ATM.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

I am Tipping us to win I know we have a lot out but we play the dome better than Melbourne and we have got better depth than Melbourne.Last time Roughy didn't play and we took care of there forwards.
Like the ins Hunter Honey And Darley will give us some good run and energy And Big Jack A Good Target up forward Go Dogs!

Well if Grant plays, and Campbell plays does Redpath not get a game?

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Our selection policy makes no sense to me. Does anyone else think they just pick our best 22 regardless of shape and size or a need for some sort of structure? In the better teams, a half back flanker goes out, a half back flanker comes in, even if that inclusion is only rated the 27th best for that week. This has been our weakness now for years. Not a perfect system either I know, as it would proberbly mean Williams would be at CHB, but if would also mean that we some sort of identifiable game plan too. The only consistency I see in structure is a policy of only playing one ruckman, which again makes to sense to me ( I'm very negative tonight, need my medication) with Will being in pretty ordinary form for a majority of the season and us screaming out for a tall target up forward. It's great to see the developing midfield coming along so well, but give them something to kick to!!! Very concerned this week that we will be to small down back, and just as we get something that resembles a structured forward line. That being said, if the midfield gets on top we might be a chance.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Hoopsnake, where do you see Campbell playing if he's eventually included as named?

How would you set up the side?

[BulldogBelle]

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Close to goal for Campbell, rotating through the ruck and interchange in a three way rotation with Will and a medium sized forward such as Cameri. I would have played one of Williams, Roberts or Talia, depending on match ups. If Honeychurch is in then for me it's Tutt that goes out. From a structure point of view it's a bit of overkill to have Dahlhaus, Hrovat, Tutt and Honeychurch all playing pretty much the same role. Hunter on the other hand is a slightly different player and a good replacement for Gia. Those two plus Dickson are all similar, and I'd only ever play one (not counting the sub)

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

We have some options

I'd go with an IC bench of Stringer, Hrovat, Hunter and Redpath. Hunter needs to play.
I don't think Grant is right, Tutt will be unlucky and Campbell is very close. It's a coin toss between Campbell and Redpath.

We need Stringer because we need his versatility. He's played some good football and we can use him in a few positions. I hope we give him a good run at it.

The harder question to ask is who should be the Sub this week. It might be Hunter or Hrovat.

Agreed.

Sub role is difficult this week, as in an ideal world we'd get a full game into all these young kids, but somebody has to be it. I think it'll be Hrovat.
