O'Keefe probably deserves the 3 but Goodes will get it because his play is very noticeable. Whereas ROK works his butt off around the ground, Goodes's possessions are just simply breathtaking and would attract the umpires' attention.

Fair point, but if Mathews really needed a run in the reserves, I'm sure we could have covered Power.Originally posted by ugg
The only reason Mathews played instead of Schmidt or Vogels was that he had to replace the Ablett in the role he was earmarked for - tagging Luke Power.
We seem overly obsessed with shutting down the opposition. We play most of the game like this when we could have blown them away.
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Mate, it does address your query. You know nothing about the team and the whyfors and whatnots. Neither do I. but I can speculate this... Matthew was brought into the team as a ready made, experienced seniors player to play a role on probably one of the lion's most decorated players. How simple is that??? Beggars belief your line of questioning.Originally posted by NMWBloods
Nothing you've said addresses my query. If Mathews wasn't ready why play him in the seniors? If he was ready to play in the seniors why say he's not ready and name him in the reserves. It makes no sense.
edit: and don't bother trying to extrapulate any more "reasons" for my beliefs from me. That's what I think and you can just live with disagreeing. ok?

So how did Matthews actually do? Better than Davis?

We did blow them away. 50 odd points is nothing to sneeze at in my books. On the other hand some people are just never happy.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Yes, amazingly Benny is very good at stopping jobs as long as he doesn't have to touch the ball. The inclusion that I was unhappy about was Bevan ahead of Schmidt.
I think both played their respective roles. Matthews probably addressed his role better, but thats just from the perspective of looking at the whole match and not the individual performances.Originally posted by JudesaGun

Look bevan is a fringe player at best, but at this stage of the year, I don't think schmidt would have offered anymore in terms of short term value. ie looking towards finals.Originally posted by ugg

edit: don't take that "Look" bit as condescending. Iwas in a sighing "yeah I agree with you but" kind of mood.

If Bevan was there to do a job on someone that it would be understandable. To me it seemed he wasn't assigned to anyone in particular and played mostly in the midfield, a position I think Schmidt would have offered much more.
I wasnt,i thought Bevan did a pretty good job last night his best IMO.Originally posted by ugg
