If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 6 game against Adelaide at Etihad?
As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

"Footscray people are incredible people; so humble. I'm just so happy - ecstatic"
There should be a few considerations for next weeks game
Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"
Out : Stringer, Williams, Gia
In: Dickson, morris, hunter
If Morris isn't fit, Williams stays.
Gia sadly is now way too slow.
More of an In Bruges guy?
Ins: Dickson, Morris, Hunter, Campbell (If Jones susp)
Out: Stringer, Jong, Gia, Jones (if susp)
Stevens to be ok from report.
Young seems to make some basic errors, but he's tallish, so he's got that going for him.
I don't know enought about Wallis, but he's not been trending well this season,
Williams seems un droppable when not injured, and Roughie is still out.
Minson given a rocket.
Higgins given one too.
In fact most given a rocket, this is the quintessential example of a scoreboard flattering a team.

I think Jones will be ok, not a lot in it - got low enough.
Out: Stringer, Williams
In: Cordy, Morris
Stringer needs a break. Young/Williams both very average today but we need to continue to persist with Young.
Cordy to replace String and chop out in the ruck, and Moz an automatic in.
I don't think it matters who we pick, the Crows seem to be getting their form back as our form has tilted a little backwards.
It may get ugly if the team doesn't get back to some tough football. It's no good being better in the spread if you can't win it at the contest.
In: Dickson, Morris, Honeychurch, Hunter
Out: Stringer, Williams, Gia, Jong
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...
Gia had chances to kick three today. Unusually for him he made a poor decision for his second opportunity and fumbled the last one.
In: Honeychurch (lock it in), Campbell, Morris, Tutt or Hunter
Out: Jong, Stringer, Jones (yes he went low but he chose to bump and caught Murphy high), Williams
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Dickson would be a lock one would think, Stringer would likely part way.
Hopefully Morris is right to go.
I'd keep Jong in and drop Wallis instead. Jong has more flexibility and can perform a role down back and even up forward if his midfield match-up isn't working. Plus he is far quicker than Wallis and no worse with his disposal.
I'm worried about Wallis. Thought the tagging role was going to be the making of him late last season but his complete and utter lack of hurt factor with ball in hand, and his plodding pace, means that he has to keep his opponent to single-figure possessions just to break even. He completely failed to control an out of form midget like Murphy tonight so what hope does he have against faster and bigger opposition mids?
Stringer was terrible in the first half but he really shone in the 2nd half with incisive passages of play and smart running to position and distribution. If he is dropped I'm ok with it, but I feel like he turned something of a corner in the 2nd half tonight and started to give us what we need and what he is capable of.
Out: Jong (showed his inexperience too often); Stringer (last quarter effort was ok but first three were woeful); Gia (too slow); Wallis (awful game); Minson (simply awful); Higgins (took it too easy - not acceptable); Cooney (same as Higgins); Williams (embarrassing display).
In: Morris, Dickson, Tutt, Honeychurch, Roberts, Campbell, Hunter, Johannisen
Officially on the Bus-wagon
