Always Right Match Committee - Round 18 Vs Fremantle Dockers 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 17 match against Hawthorn for our Round 18, 2020 match against the Fremantle Dockers on Sunday at Cazaly Stadium?
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Hard one to call this week.
Out: Mclean
In: Wood
I don't think we will remove any others unless they don't come up fitness wise.
Don't piss off old people

It’s going to be interesting.
But only that change makes us very very thin in the midfield rotations.
More of an In Bruges guy?

We don't have any other mids?

What do you mean?
Hotdog made one change a defender for a mid, I think only making that one change leaves our midfield thin.

You said we need another mid, and I said we don't have any? However, forgot about Lippa.

And very heavy for defenders.. we saw today that we played JJ & Daniel up forward as we added Duyrea to the defensive group (maybe as a result of the injury to McLean too) so I’m not sure adding Wood in, without replacing a defender is a sound option.

Yeah, I’m concerned about that. I really think only one of Wood and Cordy can play, and had Cordy in the gun at half time but his second half was better.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I think your changes are needed, but not quiet right team balance wise.
Afraid to say Suckling was a lot like Dickson a week or so back.

Suckling I thought was poor albeit he played in forward half which is not his best position but not sure who else we could replace him with and guessing Bevo will go for consistency. Perhaps Lipinski in for Maclean?
Would be worried about having 3 older players all back from injuries (even though Dureya & Suckling played today) if Wood brought back in.
Roarke did ok today. Gardner did well I thought. Personally I’d replace Richards but Bevo has given him leeway all year so do not see that happening.

I don't know much about ACL's but the footage of Mclean in the change rooms looked like he was walking ok with no limp.
Hopefully it may just be a ligament strain.

Once they're done and the initial pain subsides you can walk on them. It's actually more comfortable if they clean tear.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I said Wood because if his right he'll most likely be an automatic inclusion.
Don't forget the ball of muscle is waiting in the wings.
