    Always Right Match Committee - Round 12 Vs Fremantle 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 11 match against Melbourne for our Round 12, 2021 match against Fremantle at Optus Stadium 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.

    With no VFL it’s hard. Garcia is out with concussion protocol. Not sure who comes in. McNeil looked slower tonight, maybe he needs to be managed.

    Out: Garcia (inj), Lipinski, Cordy

    In: Scott, Gardner, West


    I'd honestly drop Crozier as well; been killing us with ball in hand and he hasn't been good enough since his return from injury.

    I thought Cordy was one of the better backs.
    Maybe Lippa out Wally in and who know without the VFL.

    Man, I reckon Cordy did as well as could be expected tonight.

    Same, he looked a million bucks on his non dominant compared to B. Smith. It was shades of me yelling at Suckling to just stick to your left foot, not everyone needs to kick both sides. Until he can show he can hit a target, or even just near it, take another option. The good thing is hopefully that’s the worst game he ever plays for our club tonight.

    Initial thoughts.

    Crozier is such a nearly player. He intercepts so well but doesn't defend well body on body and is less than good with ball in hand. I'd be open to trying three talls and bringing Gardner in for him.

    Garcia for Scott is an easy reverse change. We missed that extra crumbing pressure forward today. If Scott isn't right then whoever can play that role comes in, so Hannan, West and Cavarra are all candidates.

    I don't mind the look of Butler, but not sure who I'd play him ahead of. Lipinski was ok, and plays a different role anyway, so I wouldn't swap them. Butler probably stays as the sub i guess.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    I don’t even know what to say here. Like who was that bad that we drop them?

    Given the players we have out and some tough games ahead, I think we need to invest in some more senior types.

    Scott and Martin back when ready, but I'd also prefer West and Wallis over the likes of Garcia (inj), Butler (long way off it) and potentially Lipinski (might be needed for the short term as we don't have a heap of other options).

    In - Martin, Scott, West, Wallis
    Out - Sweet, Garcia, Butler, Lipinski

    ** I'd consider Young or Gardner dependent on Freos tall stocks.

    I think we were a bit cute with putting both Garcia and Butler into the lineup tonight.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    We didn't? I'm not sure the medical sub counts.

    Plus they were never on the field at the same time

    How was it cute?

    Both deserved their opportunities after good form at the lower level and if we don’t select those 2 who do we select?

    I think it's brilliant that we are 2nd on the ladder and still able to give crucial game time to our young players. Having used 38 or is it 39 players is something to be proud of

    I really don't think we have the options for making a lot of changes. Probably Scott back for Garcia. Is Martin ready to come back?
