Always Right Match Committee - Round 4 Vs Sydney 2020

[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 3 match against GWS for our Round 4, 2020 match against Sydney at SCG on Thursday night?

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

In: Dickson
Out: Lloyd or Dale... 50/50 who.

Josh Bruce won't get dropped.. but he should be on notice, and Schache should feel emboldened to really give it his all on the track this week.
JJ is lucky we've no one else who can perform his role. I feel he need a bunch of his peers to personally challenge him this week. Put it on him. He shows little care with his disposal, and does not play the percentages enough when it is called for.

We played North today in a scratch match. Would be good to hear who played well.

[azabob]

Vandameer, Lloyd, Dale, Bruce and Suckling all under pressure to retain their spots.

I thought JJ was pretty good early, then, yeah I dunno....

Not sure why you are targeting JJ. I thought he played a good game, a couple of clangers, but fought hard including 7 CP of his 20 disposals.

Is JJ fit? Is Suckling injured?

If you listened to Bevo during the week, he had JJ playing a different role, more defensive and was pleased with what he did. He may have played a different role today as well

[SonofScray]

JJ played with some hardness at the ball, he was much better today. Par.

Lloyd played himself out of the side. I think perhaps Shache could replace him if he was fit and ready to go.

JJ ran hard, made lots of K's... but in several moments that mattered, butchered kicks, flaked contests. His worst outweighed his good. As I said though, he will prevail selection wise, there isn't anyone who has the attributes he does possess. I feel he would benefit from a stern and frank conversation from some of the other club leaders.

Lloyd should go. There is ZERO chance Schache is going to replace him, especially if Bruce and Naughton hold their spot.

Suckling is in terrible shape, IMO. Carrying way too much weight.

Bruce & JJ also enjoyed himself during iso by the looks of things.

Suckling has always been in terrible shape to be fair, even when he was at the Hawks. He's a naturally skinny fat guy.

Anyway before reading anything from the scratch match with North, I'd drop Bruce for Schache and think about Dale or Vandemeer for Lippa. Bruce hasn't fired a shot so far.

I know he usually rocks the skinny fat bod and has the muscle definition of a 43 year accountant but now he’s more just fat fat.

Bruce needs to shed some kgs, but I thought he provided more of a presence tonight. Deserves another week.
