Always Right Match Committee - Round 13, 2018 vs Port Adelaide

[Eastdog]

Welcome to the Always Right Match Committee Thread. This has been named after a long time WOOF member who tragically passed away in March 2018.

Always Right

If you were on the Western Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 13, 2018 match against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval?

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

Bump

[Mantis]

What’s the WR for changes?

All of Boyd, HC, Smith, Lipinski, Dickson, Crozier and maybe 1 or 2 others shouldn’t be playing when we next field a team. Would also love to drop JJ who is going half pace.

[GVGjr]

In Wallis, Young and Biggs
Out Lipinski, Smith and Dickson

I'll have another look at this later

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How many can we drop?

JJ would be top of mine. Has there ever been a softer player pull on the jumper? He’s ability to squib a contest to avoid body contact is outstanding.

Roughead is sadly done, HC should be in the WRFL, Dickson injured/retired, Smith WRFL third division, Crozier out, Daniel horribly out of form.

Surely Campbell plays to see if we bother beyond this year. Ditto Webb and Wallis

He was having a nightmare everytime he touched the ball. But he still managed to stay in contests long enough to lay a goal saving tackle

What’s the WR for changes?

Think Brad Scott made 11 in the round before finals, before they brought in the pre-finals bye

[G-Mo77]

Does it matter? This can't be fixed.

Bring Wallis in, bring Campbell in I don't care who for.

Just reading the match report, I agree with your opening point. It's not even shifting deck chairs on the titanic, it's taking people out of the life rafts and putting them back on the titanic. I'm starting to seriously wonder what's happening at the club. There's a tingle of the prelude to Shocktober about the players and games.

In answer to your JJ question maybe his mate Stringer.
Agree with your list and I’d add Dahlhaus to it.

[Bullies]

Out: Smith, Honeychurch, Dickson, Roughie and Gowers (I still don't see what his guy brings besides his cheapies over the back)
In: Wallis, Jong, Campbell, Webb and Naughton if fit (like shufflng deck chairs on the titanic this team)

At this point it's almost about deciding who we're going to keep on the list. Give Campbell a game and see if he's going to be with us next year. Give Wallis and Webb some time to show if they deserve another year. Play HC and RS if you're still unsure where they sit (shouldn't be). Let Boyd and Schache stay forward for the rest of the year.

I don't know. It's hard to care at the moment. I'm enjoying the game about as much as in 2013-14.

He's good at giving away silly free kicks.... oh and missing set shots.

With those "cheapies", he is our leading scorer.

Perhaps the MC uses a dart board for their selections, its the only way that some of their moves make sense.

Here is what my dartboard says for next week.

B. Williams, Suckling, Wood
HB Morris, Cordy, Richards.
C Hunter, Wallis Macrae
HF Dickson, Boyd, Maclean
F Dalhaus, Schache, Lipinski
R Campbell, Bontempelli, Jong.

IC JJ, Daniels, Gowers, Trengrove or Roughie.
