Always Right Match Committee - Round 17 Vs Hawthorn 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 16 match against West Coast for our Round 17, 2020 match against Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval on Sunday afternoon?
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 - Round 17 Vs Hawthorn 2020
Ins: Cavarra (didn't deserve to be dropped a few weeks ago)
someone that can get more than five touches
Outs: Lloyd (he just can't even finish well anymore)
Richards (did basically nothing out there)

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 17 Vs Hawthorn 2020
I think ED comes out for Duryea. 5 touches for the night is not good enough. Hayes also was not effective with 9 touches and Roarke similar, although he did some nice things here and there and kicked a goal.

Did they not together put time into Gaff? I thought I saw them onnhim at stages? Gaff was a non factor tonight

There's still plenty to choose from.
Richards is due but has been fortunate for many weeks, Hayes and Roarke candidates.
For me, Lloyd isn't someone I want to see feature too often. I'd rather Dale or Cavarra, or West. Lloyd no longer finishes, but he still makes poor decisions and is goal hungry.
I'd like to get some time into Duryea if possible.

Lloyds stupid snap around the body in the first was school boy error when he was dead in front.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 17 Vs Hawthorn 2020
Out Lloyd In Cavarra (or Greene)
I think that is the only change I would make.
Bruce clumsy as but he did at least bring ball to ground when WC were kicking down the line and doubt we gave anyone else they can do that and ruck kind of ok.
Not sure Bevo would risk it with Dureya as he might run out of puff but agree swap him for Richards or Roarke possible. Suckling possibly too injury prone & a bit slower now? He is another who might get a call up. We need experience & good kicking. He offers both (except for the occasional too cute kick).

I echo this minus Suckling, I'd swap Ed Richards for Duryea, and Bruce out for Le Young or Schache.

Thought Bruce had an “almost” night. Took a few grabs, spilled a couple others, butchered it trying to create. I wouldn’t drop him (first match I’ve said that in a while!)

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 17 Vs Hawthorn 2020
Out: Richards, Hayes, Lloyd
In: Suckling, Lipinski, Greene
I’m resigned to experienced players like Bruce and JJ getting picked regardless, though I’d be happy for them to both have a spell/run around in a scratchy.
We lose Richards’ pace but what’s the point of speed when you get it 5-10 times a game at most. It’s like he deliberately runs away from where the ball is going.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Bruce saved by his start to the 4th after apparently having a key bump at 3QT. Respect to Roarke for hitting that goal but his 8 touches prior to it were all horrible.
