Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, 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 10 match against North Melbourne for our Round 11, 2019 match against Wast Coast Eagles at Perth Stadium?
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
We need a second tall target:
In: Schache
Out: Richards, seems a little out of sorts today
Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
OUT: Richards, Trengove
IN: LaYoung, LeYoung
Would love for Schache to knock on the door with a big game but not holding my breath.

you can add Dale - not an AFL player

Harsh. If Hayes got a good run at it, Dale deserves at least one more chance.

He gets the Gowers & Hayes selection treatment as a matter of fairness. If he doesn't comment his spot in the side after another four games, he gets traded (currently uncontracted).

He has to show a bit more hardness though BT. The same can't be said of Gowers and Hayes.

Whilst I don't disagree, its first first game in about 12 months at this level I think. I'll cut him some slack this week along with Lippa.

I have never rated him, and today just justified it. I was prepared to give him a go, but his lack of hardness is letting him down.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
Perhaps in Lynch, out Richards
I'd like to try either Schache or Lewis Young but I need to have a closer look
Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 11, Vs West Coast Eagles
In Schache (Westcoast are a bit short down back, missing Barass).
Out Dale, needs a wake up call or a trade.

Lew Young should have played today. When Englissh was beaten in the ruck, Trengove could have gone there, and Lew Young in the backline. Instead we were forced to put Cordy there, which left us one short .

Actually Cordy did ok in the ruck although Goldstein still beat him around the ground.

It was his first AFL game in 12 months and whilst his performance wasn't a good one he needs to be given another 3-4 weeks to show his worth.. if we're having the same discussions then, he will have to be replaced and also looking for a club in 2020.
