    Match Committee - Round 19 2016 vs Geelong

    If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 19 2016 match against Geelong at Simonds Stadium?

    As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

    Dickson out is a must.

    Redpath and Wallis injured. Morris too?

    I'd drop Suckling if possible too.

    Morris, Redpath, Wallis, Suckling, Dickson out.

    If our circumstances weren't suddenly so dire, I'd drop Hunter too. I'm sick to death of his dinky little kicks.

    VFL watchers might have to tell me who comes in.

    Out - Jong, Suckling, Wallis, Redpath, Morris and Dickson

    In - I have no idea.

    Jong's endeavour couldn't be faulted but he's just not top four AFL team standard with his usage and decision making. He never will be. We need to move on and play players who will be up to the required standard.

    Suckling really phoned it in tonight and should be ashamed of himself.

    I'm annoyed at Dickson, he's likely not to get dropped and to be fair it was a really hard game for smaller forwards given the disgraceful way we moved the ball.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    I'm prepared to give all of our forwards a free pass tonight - not for the first time this season, delivery into our forward 50 was comically poor.

    The trouble has been the backline is not moving the ball quickly enough and the opposition clog up our forward 50 and cover all the space. Richmond game was the same, in fact alot of games this year.

    Dickson has had a free pass all year. A dipping bird will give a better contest than him at the moment. He is a liability. Play anyone - Dale?

    I agree entirely on Lin . I think his decision making and execution are never going to be competent AFL standard

    I'd be seriously contemplating pulling the tabled offer. Jarrad Grant offered more last year, but a hard and correct call was made to wait until the trade window closed. Lin is the same in my eyes.

    Might be one of those ambient claims that contract offer.

    Nick Gieshan has already left 10 voice messages with JMac that Lin accepts the two year offer.

    Out- Redpath, Morris, Jong, Wallis (you poor lad)
    In- Minson, Cordy, Stringer, Dale

    I'd drop Dickson and Suckling but I think more than four is too disruptive

    I need to give this some more thought but I like these suggestions.
