How did Goodes look/where did he play? I still think he's short odds to be elevated and replacing Libba to be honest

I thought he was okay. Often around the midfield and maybe off half back

He was very good. Played midfield/half forward from what I could see. Wasn't really looking out for him, but he was noticeably good. I believe he kicked a couple of goals.

One other thing just jumped to mind. In the unlikely scenario that Jake Stringer didn't rate R Murphy as a player, I reckon he certainly would now! Whilst I'm at it, I can see Murphy being a bit of a Michael Tuck. (Touch wood). I think he can play well in excess of 300 AFL games. To see him turn a 1 year captaincy into a 4 year captaincy and to spend his last moment in footy lifting the 2018 AFL Premiership Cup would be beyond nirvana.... I should stop now... Getting carried away...

But, I think Murphy is in the Tuck/Fletcher camp. I really do.

Re: Family Day and Intra Club - 7 March 2015

Maybe a question for another thread but can we play Boyd, Redpath, Minson and Campbell in the same team?

Boyd has a long way to go IMO no where near aggressive enough at the footy but he has to play surely. Redpath and Campbell both are really putting their hands up and Minson is still the number 1 ruck at this stage.

Thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing.

Ditto can we play Boyd, Redpath, Minson and Cordy in the same team?

Nope. Only 3 out of the 4 can play in the same team. I think from a mobility aspect we would struggle with three big men in our forward line.

No, I don't think so.

Our best team at this stage would be Boyd, Redpath, and Minson or Campbell. We can't play both Minson and Campbell with that set up. I think Minson will get the nod for round 1 but it wouldn't surprise me to see Campbell go past Minson early in the season. Campbell has far more upside.

The question in the past has been, who can give Minson a short break each quarter in the ruck while still contributing to the team for the rest of the time. Equally, if Minson is injured during a game, who can we turn to?

Right now we appear to have Boyd, Roughead and Redpath. That is sufficient ruck back up, particulary if two out of three of Talia, Roberts and Hamling are also playing, as this gives us KP back-up to free up one of the above ruck options.

If a second ruckman can force their way into the team, then either we would have both all Australian ruckmen playing for us, or Boyd and Redpath are both on the injury list.

No we can't and it's the reason why the coach is wanting Boyd and probably Redpath to spend some time in the ruck during games.

Yeah I'm with you grey I really like Campbell right now. I actually think Boyd will get rested etc hence should provide a chance for him but he is far too good to playing at Footscray all year.

It's interesting where it leaves Cordy? I just can't see him playing seniors again this year...

Even if they give Tom Boyd a rest during the season a Minson and Campbell combination is still a difficult one to see working for much more than a couple of games unless Campbell is kicking goals.

As for Cordy, I'm still a believer that we need 3 genuine ruckman on the list and Ayce can come in and be our number one ruckman if Minson and Campbell form some reason weren't available. While opportunities will be hard to get he is worth his spot.

I can see a future where Campbell and Cordy will play a fair bit of footy together for us. They built up a really good understanding playing for Footscrat in the VFL last year. I was a little disappointed they didn't get a chance to play together in the game Wil Minson was rested from.

Agree we do, but I think we made a mistake not drafting another ruckman this year. The ideal situation is to have a depth ruckman that has the potential to become a good AFL player. That's what Campbell was, and we should have been looking for another like him.

Cordy is OK depth at a pinch, but he's not likely to develop into a very good AFL player. We missed an opportunity to upgrade our depth ruckman from Cordy.

I think Cordy position within the list is strengthened because we are reluctant to draft ruckman and probably key position defenders with an early draft picks. I guess we could use Roughead in the ruck if we had at least one more genuine tall defender.

Re: Family Day and Intra Club - 7 March 2015

In theory we now have Roberts, Talia, Hamling and Z Cordy on the list as key backs.
