Always Right Match Committee - Round 10 Vs Port Adelaide 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 9 match against Richmond for our Round 10, 2020 match against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Monday 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.

Bump

[swampdau]

there are a lot of players I would spell but I'm not sure we have the cattle to bring in

[comrade]

Shuffling deck chairs.

Bring in Roarke Smith.

[westbulldog]

So many passengers should get off at the next stop Port Adelaide. Have to think about who.

[Eastdog]

Definitely need to drop Billy Gowers I would think.

[GVGjr]

Need some bold decisions for the game against Port

I'll give this some more thought but I'd be looking at the likes of Hayes, Greene and West. Lewis Young an outside chance

[Grantysghost]

Does Vanders have any worries re the head high bump on Balta in the last ? It looked like a dogs one weeker.

[Happy Days]

Greene for Gowers, West for Suckers and Lew Young for Bruce. Could be talked into Cavarra for Lloyd.

Good question, I hope not

So many players look tired. I would be happy for 5-6 changes to freshen us up. Suckling obviously one definite out.

Unfortunately I won't be surprised if Gowers gets another game purely because he is fit and energetic. He was worse tonight than last week.

Lipinski, Richards, Bruce are top of my list of those who struggled to cover the ground tonight.

Based on our injury list, fit players that could come in are:
2 Lewis Young
13 Schache
14 West
18 Butler
19 Weightman
24 Khamis
25 Cavarra
30 Greene
32 Hayes
36 Lynch
37 Roarke Smith
40 Lachie Young
41 Sweet
43 Gardner


There's not exactly a lot of cream in that pool.

This. Unless Hunter is ready or Dunkley and Naughts have miraculously recovered from their ankles team selections from here are for shits and giggles.

That's great.

[angelopetraglia]

West needs to come in. If it’s going to be dry I would also look at Schache.

Out: Suckling, Gowers

[FrediKanoute]

Personally I think Gowers and Lloyd's cards need to be stamped and their termination notices provided. Neither are going to be a part of any premiership tilt. Lloyds role has been replaced by Wallis - he is a better forward and can go i and get his own ball if necessary. Gowers is simply a liability who no only doesn't do the team things, but also doesn't get the ball enough.

To me - West for Lloyd and Lew Young/Schache for Gowers. Bruce needs support. He needs someone who will take one of the tall defenders and Schache to me needs to be allowed to fail and not be immediately dropped.
