    Match Committee - Round 23, 2017 vs Hawthorn

    If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 23, 2017 match against Hawthorn at Etihad?

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

    May as well bring in Matty Boyd for last game.

    Out- Stringer, Dickson, Young, Dunkley
    In- Lipinski, Collins, M Boyd, Webb

    Reward some VFL form, give a legend a send off and hopefully convince Webb to stay

    Happy with all that. Would also consider giving English one more run at the top level (plus Roughy was terrible).
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: Match Committee - Round 23, 2017 vs Hawthorn

    There has been a distinct lack of enterprise and boldness in our selection process this year. The forward line has become very stagnant. The playing of Bonti up forward was staggering against Port given their dominance in the midfield. Roughead has struggled for most of the year in the ruck with Ryder again dominant. Hunter needs a spell with his slow and poor disposal. With the emergence of young talent in Dale McLean and Williams we could do worse than introduce Lipinski. Dunkley has struggled badly since returning. Young was monstered by Dixon and will be better served playing in the VFL finals. I am still to be convinced that Cloke is the answer up forward.
    I would make 5 changes against Hawthorn including the inclusion of Matthew Boyd in his farewell game.

    You've raised some good points but I'd I don't think adding Campbell and Tom Boyd with Roughead is worth trying for one game. I'd imagine the Hawks will be fired up for Hodges last game so I'd be sticking with Cloke.

    I'd go with

    In's M.Boyd, Lipinski, Collins and Honeychurch
    Out's Stringer, Dunkley, Young and Dickson

    I would try and get JJ into that forward line

    I agree on playing JJ at half forward and would be happy to see Roughead at CHF and Tom Boyd at FF but agree with you that it probably will not happen.

    How do we pick a team this week knowing if we hit the jackpot in the other games, a win could get us top 8?

    We're the first game of the round too so late outs won't help

    Matthew Boyd wasn't that bad IMO when he was playing so happy for him to come in. Wouldn't go as far as Lipinski, Collins, English though

    Stringer out, M Boyd in, JJ forward
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Sounds like (from Bevo's presser) Cloke may struggle to come up after the 6 day break. Could we see 'Camhead' re-enter the fray?
