Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 15, Vs Port Adelaide
Welcome to the Always Right Match Committee Thread. The Match Committee threads has been named after long time WOOF member Always Right who tragically passed away in March 2018.
If you were on the Western Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make after our Round 14 match against Collingwood for our Round 15, 2019 match against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval?
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 15, Vs Port Adelaide
Can we bring McLean back yet?
I've always been a little bit of a fan of Roarke but he's that guy who is a good VFL player and an average AFL one. Not sure what we expected with selecting him. Been tried and tested and we got what we expected today. Dureya. Never should have been signed, a player we have surpluss of and didn't need. Just awful today.
Out: Smith, Dureya
Ins: McLean, Cavara/Porter.

Out: Roarke, Cordy, Williams if they won't play him at half back/Duryea
In: McLean, Le Young, West
Never going to happen.

Out Cordy until he learns what a defender is supposed to do.
In - someone over 6 foot tall who has an idea what "defensive accountability" means.
R. Smith. Time to "future endeavour" him, as they say in pro wrestling.

Surely its time for Young to get Cordys spot and get given the leeway he does so we can actually find out if hes any good. Or he leaves at the end of the season as hes not one of bevos pets.
The curse is dead.

Lewis needs to borrow Roarke's skateboard and skate with Bevo. It seems to work with Roarke in getting a game.

Cordy has not come on as I expected he might. For a tall player I’m scratching my head to re-call him taking an overhead contested mark or intercept mark. Time to give Lewis Young an extended run.

Cordy is simply having a bad spell but he has potential.
The fact that his opponents kicked 20 goals in the previous 4 games doesn’t really mean someone else would have done better. He just needs more time.
And his bad day today probably didn’t cost us the game. He just needs to work on giving his opponents so much separation, something the coaches would be managing.

So McLean doesn’t play VFL. Makes it hard for him to work on his deficiencies and play next week.
More of an In Bruges guy?

A bit tough, but he can't come back in. He hasn't played ONE decent game this year.

Maybe he's injured? I sort of hope that is the case for the sake of our selectors because it made no dam sense to drop him.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 15, Vs Port Adelaide
Is Easton Wood getting a free passage with our supporters?
Once again his possession count was down with 4 kicks, 3 marks and no tackles
Captain or not, he needs to perform better than he has
