Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns
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 7 match against Essendon for our Round 8, 2020 match against Gold Coast Suns at Metricon 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.

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns
Really tough one.
Contenders to be dropped are Vandermeer and maybe La Young and Lippa was quiet for a mid?
I think will depend on how players have pulled up and whether we rest anyone.

Richards needs to have a spell.
West in.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

No change. We blitzed a team that had lost once by 1 point and no one really earned their way out.

Am I the only one who thought Cordy was Gardner-esque tonight. Positioning was terrible. Looked lost

I like Cordy as a defender. Not as a second ruck at all.
Vandermeer could do with a freshen up week. I like Lachie Young, I really do, but he's not a wingman. He's back as a medium defender/interceptor, or not at all.
If Sam Lloyd is fit, he comes straight back in. Pick one of Schache or Lewie Young to keep Naughton's spot warm.

You’re not, but he got thrown around a bit (he definitely played a stretch forward, not entirely sure but think? he put some time into Ridley), and he’s been really good since coming back in.
Also, the replacement for a sort of Gardner-esque Cordy would likely be a fully Gardner-esque Gardner, so he has a long leash.

I don't fancy losing a pacy player before playing the Suns. Richards hasn't been great, but balance wise I'd say he stays.
