    I hope Butler is in for Vander. We are in nowhere near good enough form to be playing too much inexperience. We still haven't really settled in with Juice and Keath yet. Although Keath was good against GWS it's only 1 good game out of 3.
    However, we won in a scrap on the weekend with no real synergy between the lines so I hope the MC doesn't mess with the line-up too much and changes are on a need to only basis.

    In saying that Lloyd or Dale need to go.

    In - Butler, Dickson

    Out- Dunkley, Dale/Lloyd (flip a coin)

    Dickson' s lack of pace won't get exposed as much on the small SCG so happy for him to come in. He's a smart player who leads well and puts on decent forward line pressure.

    Good luck to Louis Butler, make the faithful proud!

    Knowing Bevo it was more likely to be this Butters:

    I think we were a touch better than that, but you're not far off given our forward connections from upfield didn't really deliver what we'd hope.

    Can't flip a coin between Lloyd and Dale, I reckon the former goes as the latter did more positive things and negative things throughout the game, with the negatives at least proving he was involved.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Is Butters in to replace Suckling?

    Keath was one of our best against Collingwood, even received 3 votes on here in the Marmo.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 4 Vs Sydney 2020

    AFL.com's take:

    With Josh Dunkley (ankle syndesmosis) out for at least six weeks, Patrick Lipinski should re-gain his spot in the side. The Dogs could get Jack Macrae to play the role Dunkley has taken on this year, while Lipinski can take on Macrae's duties. Louis Butler is a confirmed debutant and could replace a veteran in the backline.

    Verdict: Patrick Lipinski, Louis Butler replace Josh Dunkley and Matt Suckling. - Jourdan Canil

    Makes complete sense, so chances are things won't go exactly like this.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Butler would probably be no more detrimental then Suckling was last week. I'd rather blood a 1st gamer then let Suckers skate after some of the shit that he did. I'm usually a fan of Suckling and think that we focus too much on the one or two bad kicks but his kicking was actively hurting us out there.

    Oh Comrade, you need to stay positive, I can see Bevo or the MC taking any risks this week as anything could happen (Like Essendon) so he is smart enough to realise we need a win or its season over as we will be to far back of the pace.

    Butler straight swap for Suckers, McCrae in the Guts, McClean to the wing and Lipinski to the 1/2 forward line
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    I'd prefer McLean to take over a mid role over Lipinski.

    We'll miss Dunkley's hardness but McLean can bring that. I like Lipinski but I'm not sure he has that in his game. I'd still like to see Lippy in the side, but I'd be giving increased mid minutes to McLean.

    As someone who suffers from chronic achilles tendonitis it’s really one of those injuries that needs management. Or stay off it for weeks... he can’t take a trick poor guy. Let’s hope it’s on the lower end of the scale and we can manage it and get him through.
