    Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 16, Vs Geelong

    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 15 match against Port Adelaide for our Round 16, 2019 match against Geelong at Marvel Stadium?

    For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

    Based on VFL reports, McLean was BOG and Cavarra kicked a bag.

    In: McLean, Cavarra

    Outs: Suckling (half back or VFL), Roarke (based on bringing in a small forward for balance)

    Surely Roarke won't be dropped after that game.

    I'd like to bring in Cavarra but there's no way that I'd drop Roarke after today and I feel that Suckling is in just in case we want to rotate him to defense.

    Probably not. The other names are Bailey Williams or Duryea. If I were picking the team, I'd like a couple more specialists than a gang of half backers.

    In - mclean
    Out- duryea

    I don’t really rate Roarke, but I thought his ball handling in those conditions were top notch, and would be hard to drop him.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    I was ready to throw Duryea in the bin half way through the second quarter - but thought he was incredibly important in the second half and his position and decision making was really really smart. I'd be surprised if Bevo was unhappy with his overall game, particularly with him spending time on Gray, who was kept fairly quiet.

    There will be some sore boys after this game. Think the indication is that Caleb may miss, reckon Suckling goes back if he is out, and McLean comes in to play forward.

    We may have others too sore to come up.

    I was a bit like you, thought Duryea was going to be a bit of a liability but he came good and did some important things.

    No changes for mine if everyone's fit and fresh enough. McLean doesn't have to come in from my perspective, largely because I have no idea what the conditions of a return to the senior side are. If he's met them one week at the lower level, I reckon we get him to meet them for two weeks.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Gee it'd be nice to get Cavarra in there, but if Richards was the only casualty you'd imagine McLean would get the nod.

    Bound to be someone sore after Saturday. Really keen to blood Cav and see what he can do, it's a position we need and he has the tools.
