Match Committee - Round 21, 2017 vs GWS Giants

[Eastdog]

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.

A few coming back into contention and it's a huge game

[bulldogtragic]

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)

[Topdog]

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.

Out:

* Webb, 6 touches doesn't cut it at this level

* Wood, Injured


In:

* Stringer

* JJ

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

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 ?

Webb just doesn't have the aggression and desperation for AFL level. He showed it for about 15 minutes of the first quarter last week then went back into his shell. Didn't even poke his head out today.

It was a meek performance, but what I find strange is that we have been developing Lukas as an inside/outside mid, but he is yet to spend anytime in the middle... Maybe you have to earn it, and the situation meant he had to go back, but I doubt he would have spent much time across HB in the past 2 years.

I think Dunkley is the best direct replacement for Smith. His injury was upper body so would've retained his aerobic fitness over his recuperation (and undoubtedly would've left no stone unturned given his character) so 1 week in VFL and a solid performance should be enough.

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