Match Committee - Round 6 2016 vs North Melbourne

[Raw Toast]

Outs
Beveridge - He's making a mockery of our club right now with his refusal to focus on the most important part of the game. Clearly just taunting us with the dream of brilliance and more than glimpses of us playing the best style I've seen a Bulldogs team play. Obviously he wants to take us to the edge of greatness just so that he can break our hearts once more.

Ins
Peter Rhode - Helped us get Cooney and Gryphon. Now that we've lost them we're terrible at one phase of the game, need some new versions asap.

I think it was a bit rested/didn''t play too well the week before out. He was very good tonight and I would keep him in unless he is physically struggling (as with any week/anyone).

Suckling needs a rest, would bring in Hamling for him.

If Daniel is fine to return I would have him in for Adcock or Dale. I have doubts over Dale being able to help us short term against quality sides but Beveridge is more positive than am I and will probably wanna keep him in. Tough call.

I would have Dunkley as the next small in.

Good calls all round.

McLean was going to be rested this week but with Daniel out he kept his spot and he played well. Does it make him a candidate to be dropped this week?

Surely he can't be dropped on that performance

[bornadog]

Bevo said Suckling likely to miss one game at least.

Out Suckling, Dale

In: Hamling, Daniel

[The Underdog]

Bevo said Suckling likely to miss one game at least.

Out Suckling, Dale

In: Hamling, Daniel

I'd be tempted to go along these lines.
6 day break may have an impact.

Out- Suckling
In- Webb

Rebounding half backs are really being stretched and Webb is next in line. Otherwise I don't see any changes being necessary.

[Rocco Jones]

A few posters have Webb penned in as a HB replacement. He has being playing as an inside mid for Footscray. I watched chunks of the VFL game online today and noticed Hamling took the game on a bit.

[Webby]

Webb's a versatile one. Can play in or out. He'll be a jet 200+ gamer. A great type to have. Wouldn't sell him short in any non-spine role. Safe hands with that kid.

Another Dalrymple selection that was nailed. The club has him developing as a quality all round footballer. Every week he adds a string to his bow. He's one of our flag players in the making.

Surely he can't be dropped on that performance

I tend to agree but if he really needs a spell when does he get it?

[hujsh]

Do we consider playing Roughie as a tall defender and the back-up ruck, playing Campbell as the main ruck and bringing in Redpath if we need a tall forward?

He and HC are the best players at Footscray at the moment and he's wasted at HB at that level. At AFL level he'd play HB. I'm surprised Dale got the nod ahead of Webb. Webb has looked more composed at AFL level than Dale. Out of all of last years arrivals who have played Dale looks to me to be last on the pecking order.

I agree that Hamling has to come in to replace Suckling. Hopefully Daniel comes in for Dale. I'd still prefer HC over Adcock but see the sense of retaining Adcock.

Heh. You're funny.

Redpath seems to be way off at the moment. I am starting to doubt he will make it.

[meenies]

Saw the Footscray game yesterday and thought Hamilton played well at the start. Biggs like. Webb was the centre general. Fletcher back general and thought he was best down there. Redpath got crap delivery and spent a lot coming up and finding it himself.
So possible replacements:
Fletch for Suckling.
Redpath for Dale (that way could put Roughie down back if need) also Dale did not move around so Redpath shows more mobility.
HC did not play any game so hard to put in without a run.
Webb and Hamilton emergencies for anyone sore.

Merrett on game-day was asked who wins next week Dogs vs North, and instantly replied dogs. Asked why he was so quick to answer, said the dogs pressure is manic, stops you playing the way you want and that defence (dogs) always beats offence (North).
