    Match Committee - Round 12, 2017 vs Sydney Swans

    If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 12, 2017 match against Sydney Swans at the SCG?

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

    Edit:

    Outs: Bob (injured), Hunter

    Ins: Libba, McLean

    I'd like Cloke, but I'm not sure how to squeeze him in as I wouldn't drop English.

    I'd go Cloke for English. Not sure, depends on how Murph pulls up, Matt Boyd probably comes in for him if injured and maybe Bailey W if not

    If McLean plays well tonight, I'd include him for Murphy.

    Yeah, I'm struggling to squeeze 30 players into 22 spots. Good luck to the match committee, especially if Footscray players play well tonight.

    I'd love McLean, Dale & Daniel with elite foot skills feeding our forward line, and guys like Cloke, Boyd & Stringer presenting for it.

    Yep. Kept him under 20 possies and played well himself.

    Hunter destroyed Steven today. He was one of our best as Steven can cut you up.

    Based upon VFL, Maclean in for Bob. They may put Cloke or Webb or Honey in for English, however I would like to see Tom get another go.

    Hunter may have played well on Steven, but his ball usage let him down.

    Hmm, thinking about Swans, maybe Roberts plays for English or (my preference) Suckling.

    I think Suckling had very little impact on the game and must be teetering on the edge.

    Out:-
    Bob (injured), English, Williams

    In:-
    McLean, Honeychurch, Cordy

    McLean and HC appear to have had consistent, strong fortnights at vfl level. I like McLean for this game because where space is at a premium his tricks will come in handy. HC adds some more tenacity to our front half and with Boyd/Rough now spending more minutes forward, I'm keen to see what influence HC can have at the drop of the ball.

    Cordy for some height down back and added flexibility.

    Fletcher or Cordy will have to be considered to counter Franklin et al

    I'd hope McLean and Libba beat down the door also
