    Always Right Match Committee Round 3 vs West Coast Eagles

    Welcome to the Always Right Match Committee Thread. The Match Committee threads has been named after long time WOOF member Always Right who tragically passed away in March 2018.

    If you were on the Western Bulldogs match committee, what changes would you make after our Round Two match against Gold Coast Suns for our Round Three match against the West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

    For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion

    No Richards or Coffield is going to be hard. JOD & Buss not match fit. I guess Keath comes into the frame and Williams stays at HB.

    Assume the MC rush Harmes back. Sounds like Macrae & Garcia played well and Lobb too.

    Richards will be a loss for sure.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Even if macrae was the sub, surely he’d offer more than Poulter.

    How did Cleary & Duryea go in seconds? Hoping Cleary is given a chance in seniors and makes most of it.

    Garcia or Macrae sound like they were very good, but whom do they replace?

    I thought he played ok, although he didn?t get a lot of it his pressure acts were better than last year. Agree he is one that might be dropped though.

    VDM probably gets a week for that high bump, but good thing is Garcia got 36 touches, 7 marks, 7 tackles and kicked 2.2 so he pretty easily slots in for him.

    Keath into Coffield?s role. Is it too premature to give Freijah a go in the seniors? Means we keep pace and run in the backline with Richards to miss. Otherwise Cleary

    He just fumbles too much (yes they all fumble), but he seems like a deer in head lights type players. He’s ok, but macrae is better. As long as they play Macrae where he does best, and not at HF

    Good points. If only one of Garcia and Macrae were to play who do you reckon should get the nod? I only watched bits of 2nd & first half of last qtr of VFL . Both looked great but Garcia was electric. Hard call by MC but with VDM possibly suspended perhaps both get the nod.

    Unfortunately we'll lose Richards but may get suspended anyway, Coff yeah that sucks.

    Do we rush JOD in? would be the ideal swap for Coffield.

    Out: Richards, Coffield, Poulter

    In: MacRae, Garcia (wanted him in for the Suns game), if we don't risk JOD go with Duryea as WC don't have a big forward line anyway.

    I’d have macrae in the centre and sanders off the half back.

    If Jones gets Darling then who gets Allen? I'm thinking Williams and that leaves Buku to Intercept. Means Bakes stays on the wing and Macca comes in for Poulter maybe. Maybe Harmes for the Sub.
    You keep on using that word... I do not
    think it means what you think it means.

    Oscar Allen is injured for a few weeks.

    Sanders struggles when he isn’t playing permanent midfield.

    I fear he is a tad slow to play HB.
