    Always Right Match Committee - Round 2 vs West Coast Eagles 2021

    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 1 match against Collingwood for our Round 2, 2021 match against West Coast Eagles at Marvel on Sunday arvo?

    For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

    I'd love to see Rhylee West come in for McNeill.
    McNeil has some great attributes and now has had a sniff...but West adds some steel, and is a one touch player and it's his time to show he can contribute.
    Having said that I reckon Bevo likes to gives blokes more than one game.

    From all accounts Wood, Cordy and JJ did well in the reserves and Jamarra, well he has done his cause no harm.

    Outs.....always hard to pick a couple after a good win. Wood, Cordy and JJ are backline players, and the backline was pretty good so you would be hard pressed to pick someone who should fall out. Maybe a case of bide their time. Maybe Wood for Scott, but no certainty for me.

    Is Wallis in trouble? Do you swap McNeil for Jamarra?

    Gut feel is that allowing for injuries there will be no change.

    Jon Ralph quoting Chris Grant saying that JJ is out because 'As a defender you need to defend'

    Be surprised if he's back this week.

    Big fork in the road moment for JJ. He's been living off 2016 for a long while.
    He can either take on board the feedback and become a real asset, or his career will fizzle out.

    Said it before, if we felt this way we should have offloaded him in October when he had some currency, not let him rot in the reserves for a season and then give him to someone like Essendon.

    This would be my change as well, and for similar reasons. We haven't seen the last of Mcneill, but West/Cavarra can offer more in that role.

    I thought Scott was serviceable. I don't think any of Wood, Cordy or JJ are walk up starts anymore.

    Wallis was poor but has credits. Everybody else played their role and will be there next week.

    I didn't like the way his contract extension played out after 2016. I'm probably wrong, but he made his re-signing hard, and I reckon that was a small part of our downfall post premiership. It just seemed to my eyes to bring a 'me first' mentality that shattered the tight bond that group had.
    I know these guys have a short window for remuneration, but it still rankled me that he made us wait, and held us to the flame, when we'd been really patient in his development as a rookie.
    JJ at his most committed is an undeniable asset to us, but only if he commits to what we need him to do. He was a fortunate Norm Smith Medallist, and benefited from our 'total team ethos'. We need him to recommit to that if he is going to be a part of our growth.

    Logical but rare that debutants don't play the next week. I don't see Bevo leaving Wood out either which probably means Scott the more likely casualty.

    McNeil was like a deer in headlights tonight, needs a good block of VFL form behind him. Scott was more influential but I want more aerial ability and experience down back.

    Out: McNeil and Bruce
    In: Wood and West

    I just think we are not ready to play three talls forward. Wood gives leadership and experience, West gives us a hard edge and crumbing forward
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Bruce took 11 marks and was quite often out bail out kick down the line... I can’t see how you replace him after one of his better games in our colours.
