Always Right Match Committee - Round 7 Vs Richmond 2021

[bornadog]

But he is still without question the biggest sook in the AFL and if Ron can get one or two early it’ll be all over for him.

sure is

Balta was playing against his own team? A bit like Lachie Young seemed to be playing against North on Good Friday?

Thanks for your audit check

I noticed a couple of Woofers have suggested Hannan as a possible in for this week. In the past two VFL games he has had to go off the ground each time for some ‘work’ with the Physios (not exactly sure what and if for the same reason both weeks), so I would suggest he needs to genuinely get thru a full VFL game before putting his hand up.

It looked like his minutes were being managed last Thursday. I don't think he's going to be considered this week.

I'd be tempted to bring Wallis in as a mid for Dunkley so we don't have to shuffle too many players around. Flexibility is great within games if something isn't working but it will help us to keep as many players in familiar roles as possible

As per my comments in the Jamarra thread.
I hope we keep our powder dry on JUH this week, and instead reward those in the VFL who have performed. JUH kicked 5, but I would not have said he was an influence.
Schache has been consistent in the first couple of weeks, especially in the areas we really want him to be, namely hardness, work-rate and energy.
So to Lipinski and West.
If we're to maintain keen competition from our VFL players, we've got to reward them in a coherent manner when places become available.
I'd be telling Jamarra to keep his head down, and work hard and be ready for his chance, when it comes. I don't want us to jump at shadows just because Adelaide lucked out with Thilthorpe's from the clouds selection last week. The Hawks ain't Richmond, and we need to keep winning.
Outs
English,
Dunkley
Jong,
and possible Vandermeer (based on Bevo's comments)

Ins
Schache
Lipinski
West,
McNeil.

Few people reckon VDM will be omitted due to his back spasms again as well, good chance all 4 will be bought in, who knows what we do for sub.

[bornadog]

This weeks gut feel is Roarke Smith comes in.

[Axe Man]

This weeks gut feel is Roarke Smith comes in.

I don't mind if we pick him as the sub as you can plug and play him in a few positions but I do hope he doesn't come into the 22.

FWIW, Stevo on Twitter is pushing Schache as the obvious replacement for English. Saying Jamarra is unlikely for this week.

That makes sense to me. Schache has worked hard for his chances and covers a lot of ground.

[Happy Days]

Tigers are debuting Riley Collier Dawkins, if for no other reason than to prove he actually exists.

We really should win this game.

TBH Wallis hasn’t been an effective midfielder in our AFL team since 2015 when he filled the void left by Libba... not sure we go back to him in that role when we have other options.

I went back and watched the Bulldogs/Richmond game from 2019 (yeah, I've gone full nuff) and was surprised to see Wallis was in the midfield rotation that night and was at multiple centre bounces.

Would be nice if Naughton had a similar night out on Friday.

Wallis has always been good at the in and under, but due to his lack of pace, not good on the spread.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I'd argue Wally isn't as clean as he needs to be in order to play that mid role either.

For mine it's either Bailey Smith into the rotation / Lipinski or Hunter to the wing, or we give somebody like West a run at it.
