Always Right Match Committee Round 7 vs Fremantle Dockers

[Scraggers]

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 Six match against St Kilda for our Round Seven match against the Dockers at Optus Stadium on Saturday evening.

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

Bump

[GVGjr]

Libba and Marra in for Lobb (terribly unlucky) and Sanders.

Out Harmes

Out Harmes

I liked his fancy shoes

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Hard to make many changes from that.

In - Libba and Marra
Out - Sanders and Darcy

** Darcy super unlucky, but Lobb is a better second ruck and against Jackson that might be important.

Libba and Marra in for Lobb (terribly unlucky) and Sanders.

No way Lobb goes out, I thought he was great tonight.

[GVGjr]

Serious question, Libba is back, Treloar was brilliant, Bont is well Bont, Macrae has lifted his work rate, Richards did a fine job so how do we manage Garcia next week in terms of midfield rotations?

[Happy Days]

We kinda need Lobb to play against Freo. They’re ready to jump the fence and kill him over there, I actually think it gave us a bit of an edge last time out.

Was VDM injured?

[GVGjr]

Was VDM injured?

Copped a knock, not sure if it's anything more than that.

[westdog54]

Was VDM injured?

Came off after a heavy collision. Looked like it was precautionary and an excuse to get Sanders into the game.

[macca]

In: Libba, Marra
Out: Brambles, VDM (injured)

Garcia to replace VDM
Richards : half back, with a few CBA

[Go_Dogs]

Lobb looked to go off with an ankle late in the third, had some pain relief and came back. Two weeks in a row it’s caused a niggle. Maybe means he’s an out.

Hard to know who else to change up if Libba is also back.

Note, I’m assuming Marra is good to go.

Good question. We have been too reliant on three players this year so it is good to have some options. I like speed of Ed and Sunny so it is good to have them in the mix as well as a fired up Macrae. A better mix allows Bont to drift forward and manage Libba’s time as well. We will need to keep check off Serong next week thus rotating players will keep them relatively fresh.
