Match Committee - Round 15, 2017 vs West Coast
If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 15, 2017 match against West Coast at Etihad?
As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

More of an In Bruges guy?

Was taken off by the trainers late in the game, not to come back. Assuming he's injured, to come off in a vital time in the hands of trainers.

Bevo down played it when asked about it in his post match presser. Didn't seem to think there was anything in it.

He had his legs taken out from under him.

With a studs up sliding effort on the ball from the NM player. Not far removed from the Rohan incident that caused the rule change. Yet, no call. That rule is a disgrac, punishing blokes desperate to get hands on the ball.
Tripping and kicking in danger accounts for all the scenarios that can pop up and it should've been utilised in this instance.

Sorry I meant more in terms of the extent of Zaine's injury, not in terms of the level of crudeness in the NM player's action.

Out: Roughead, Dickson, Cordy
In: Roberts, T Boyd, Murphy
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Agree.
To me you play T.Boyd with Campbell or Roughead. Not both. Roberts needs to play and Murphy for Dicko. Depending on Murph I'd also consider Smith for Dicko.

Can Roughead, Campbell and Boyd all play if Redpath doesnt? I wouldnt mind seeing Boyd play permanent forward

So I'm not really sure what to do with the big guys. Roughy is probably the best ruckman, Campbell can't be dropped off of the best game of his career, and Boyd has to play.
I'm kind of inclined to play all three and leave Boyd out of the ruck entirely, but that's probably too top heavy. Can't see Roughead getting dropped either. Genuinely intriguing!
Dickson needs a spell; hasn't fired a shot this year.
In - XL-Boyd, Murphy
Out - Cordy (inj)/Redpath, Dickson

Gee.....I hope Kennedy doesn't get up to play next week. Have no idea who we will play on him. Thought Roughy was serviceable against Brown last night but he simply can't keep up with Kennedy. Big Tom's game last night creates a problem. Not sure we can play all of Roughy, TC and Boyd.......Redpath must remain.
With Jongy out I thought we lacked some running power so getting Murphy back is important and he should replace Dickson who has been poor for weeks and needs a spell with Footscray. JJ was marginally better last night but we simply can't do without his run....although his turnovers were horrendous last night on a couple of occasions.
Great to see Bont's return to form.....and the fact he played so much more in the midfield. Perhaps he is getting over whatever injury he has been carrying.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Is Kennedy in the frame to return?
