    Always Right Match Committee - Round 12 Vs Adelaide 2020

    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 11 match against Brisbane for our Round 12, 2020 match against Adelaide Crows at Metricon on Sunday 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.

    Gardner for Lewis Young is a sitter. I don’t want to make any other changes.

    Let's get a look at the fringes.

    Sweet, Greene and maybe Cav.

    Lipinski can’t play next game after some of his efforts.

    Out: English, Lipinski, Gardner, Richards, Wood, McLean
    In: Sweet, West, Lachie Young, Lewis Young, Cavarra, Greene
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I reckon Libba looks like he needs a spell to rest his knees - arguably he should have already missed one of the last 3 games. If Hunter is ready, he comes in to get a better balance of inside-outside.

    English looks flat as well. He really should have owned McInernay and Eagles but he was especially poor in the crucial 1st half both at stoppages and also in his usual strength around the ground. He did improve both aspects as the match wore on. Perhaps we should try 2 rucks like Port did today. Sweet as the stoppage Lycett type and English as the mobile Ladhams type drifting forward. I'd give Bruce a rest.

    Gardiner has done well to get to this level but it is simply beyond him. He needs to be replaced by Trengove or Lewis Young.

    Richards and Lipinski both need to be looked at closely as well.

    We have close to the worst half forward line in the league at the moment. We are not winning games against quality opposition with McLean, Lipinski, Dale, Richards, Lloyd operating in tandem in that area of the ball park. We need to find a solution there.

    English badly needs help.

    Serious question. If we lose to Adelaide, will you continue to back Bevo? Adelaide are horrific and there is absolutely no excusing losing to them coming off an 8 day break. I’m at the end of my tether with the coaching and playing group but a loss to Adelaide, for mine, means times up for Bevo. Forget finals this season is done for us. Next week is careers on the line.

    Those who deserve to be dropped won't be, those who should be selected won't be. All confidence in our team's selection process is gone. It is time for our club to make some harsh but necessary decisions on our coaching staff and MC, performances are becoming unacceptable and reputations should count for nil.

    Who are those that deserve to be dropped?
    Who and those that should be selected? Why should they be selected?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Gardiner stayed, and I’m expecting the MC to run English into the ground, so....

    In- West
    Out- McLean
    I will never see #16 the same!!
