Always Right Match Committee - Round 12 Vs Fremantle 2021

[comrade]

I hear you, until he gets stronger in the area, I would prefer him in his current role. The issue is we need someone to take up added load and I prefer him to Lip. Is there a run/tag type we could go with?

Toby McLean was really finding some form in that role prior to the ACL. *!*!*!*!ing COVID has put his comeback on hold but if he can somehow get match fit enough, I'd be replacing Lippa with him in a heartbeat.

Mclean should be available. He needs a couple of games in the VFL, and he can be brought in to do the run with role.

Edit: Comrade beat me to it

[Ozza]

so we have the following on the bench

Martin, Butler, Sweet, R,Smith, West, Lipinski, Gardner, Scott

who are the final 4 (and the 1)

I'm going with;
Martin, R.Smith, Lipinski, Gardner - and Scott as Medi Sub.

Think Westy, Sweet and Butler will miss out.

That would be my guess as well

[comrade]

When are Sunday teams finalised now?

EDIT: Nevermind

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Interesting changes. Essentially Scott for McNeil and Martin for Sweet. But then we've brought in a forward and tall defender for 2 mids.

[Axe Man]

Not surprising. The match committee love Scott and have previously shown they have little patience when Lipinski underperforms.

[comrade]

Will be interesting to see how the extra height in defence works for us, unfortunately neither Cordy or Gardner are proficient at intercepting but it might free one of them up to give us some ability to win the ball back in the air in D50. Maybe we even try to get Keath off the leash?

I like the ins and really hope Stef can get back to his early round form.

[kruder]

Lippa has had his chances, I had my fingers crossed for him but until he can improve his defensive aspects of his game he stays in the seconds for mine, I couldn’t trust him in a prelim at this stage.

Would like to have seen Westy get a look into our midfield rotations while we lack depth in there.

[bornadog]

I am happy with the team.

[Grantysghost]

I am happy with the team.

It's time for Bevo to go, he's had his chance now we need some fresh ideas

[G-Mo77]

Gardner straight back in? He did nothing wrong pre injury but bloody he'll, what has Lewis Young done to Bevo?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Team looks unbalanced for mine.

I don't disagree with Lipinski - he's been putrid basically all year and I'm not sure I'd play him again this year.

I think West as a mid/forward would have been nice to see, given we're a bit light in the midfield.

Bevo alluded earlier the week he’d like to look at the taller defence with a view to our games against Geelong and the Eagles with their tall timber. I’m actually surprised he followed through with it.
