Always Right Match Committee - Round 12 Vs Adelaide 2020

[Happy Days]

All I can say is we better not lose this one or this will be me

Oh yeah if we lose this week the toys are going out of the cot.

I don't hate that. Getting Gardner away from goal will hopefully get him out of those high ball situations where he's looked terribly shaky, and I think he has the athleticism and workrate to go with Fogarty. I could even live with him on Lynch.

Me too especially if we swing Wood to Stengle.

Lynch and Dodee both have a Hamstring after last night

That's handy for the back and forward line.

Talia will return but Doedee out will mean one of Bruce/Naughton get McAsey or Hartigan.

Himmelberg plays deep and is a very good mark I don't like the idea of Gardner on him. Fogarty leads up the ground and, outside Lynch is the most mobile forward they have. I'd play Gardner on him. Will be interesting.

That requires Lewis Young to play though (as otherwise it leaves Keath as the only real option for both Tex and Himmelberg) and there's been no indication that will happen. I hope it does though.

Who is a good matchup for Trengove at the Crows, I can't see one?

We could have gotten away with Keath and Gardner if Crozier was fit but I think one of the Youngs needs to come in.
Keath - Tex
Gardner - Himmelberg
Wood & a Young - Lynch & Fogerty. Otherwise you need to get Williams to play on one of these 2.

Apologies was tongue in cheek, there isn’t an obvious matchup. With Tom Lynch most likely out (low grade hammy) it may cancel out the Cordy injury.

Gardner Himmelberg makes sense as does Keath Tex.
Fogarty I’m not sure about. He’s an interesting matchup.
Williams probably takes Mcadam.
Stengle certainly needs to be accounted for he was dangerous last night. Does Wood do another Cameron role without Crozier?
I don’t know who replaces Cordy. One of the Youngs. Probably going on past will be Lachie.

Himmelberg was third highest ks covered last night. I didn’t watch entire game but I did see him up on the wing on occasions.

Apparently Lewis Young had an injury a couple of weeks ago, no mention by the club, but mentioned before Brisbane game and the reason he didn't play. The plot thickens.

BBQ chicken.

Apparently a small injury that had him miss half a scratch match, but the short days turn around to Brisbane game, kept him out.
Expecting him to play this week.

This is what I have heard

Reports on socials that JJ has been injured at training.

Can we go back to 5 day breaks so we don't have a chance to train? Give us an 8 day break and Cordy and JJ break down!

Potential big blow for the Bulldogs. Jason Johannisen went down with an ankle injury at training. Was driven away by staff member to get it assessed. Story and pics here @superfooty

I don't have access to the story

Western Bulldogs star Jason Johannisen has gone down with an ankle injury and left training.

The smooth running defender hurt his right ankle during the Bulldogs’ small group training at Metricon Stadium.

He was in significant pain and immediately limped off where he was attended to by a group of Bulldogs staff members.

He then was driven away from training by a Bulldogs staff member to get scans.

The Bulldogs play Adelaide on Sunday on the Gold Coast with a win required over the struggling Crows to breathe some new life into their season.

They will be without key defender Zaine Cordy, who picked up a chest muscle injury at training earlier this week.

Cordy is set to be sidelined for two to four weeks with the injury.
