    Match Committee - Round 21, 2017 vs GWS Giants

    If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 21, 2017 match against GWS Giants at Etihad?

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

    Ins:

    JJ, Stringer, Collins

    Outs:

    Bob (rested for the game he played tonight), Clay Smith (we can cope with two KPFs, but his lack of speed and agility is too much), Wood (injured)

    Hope that Wood can play next week. He didnt seem too disappointed so hopefully it was just tight and they were cautious.

    Wood's injury is severe.

    I have concerns about the plastics run out of defence. Can we have Cloke, Redpath and Smith in there.

    I don't think you have to worry about Smith being out there next week.

    I'd back Webb in just like we did with honey after a poor performance. Finally looked likely last week forward then forced to play him in defence deserves another crack. Clay smith very lucky to be in the side this week.

    Webb has played 5 matches this year and other than 2 goals in the first quarter last week, has not impressed at all. I am starting to have my doubts about him. 4 games x 12 disposals and 6 today.

    Happy to see the back of Clay as well for now, but not sure who comes in? Maybe Dickson if he has recovered.

    I dare say our defence is awfully short with Morris, Adams & Wood out. Young can play the intercepting role, but Cordy might need another big body in Collins (good form) or Roberts (experienced).

    Yes, I can agree with that

    Hopefully there are a few ready to come back in as there are some obvious outs

    Out: Webb, Smith, Wood, Murphy
    In: JJ, Stringer, Dunkley, Dickson
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I think we'll be forced to play Murphy this coming week.

    Out - Wood, Smith, Cloke and Webb

    In - Roberts, Dickson, JJ and Stringer

    Cloke is unlucky, though if Dickson is good to go I think we look a bit better with Red at the moment - the latter should have had a five goal haul today.

    If Stringer doesn't come up, Cloke stays.

    We do have one (very) experienced backline player consistently doing well in the reserves. Does anyone think that Matthew Boyd is a chance for a senior game this week ?
