Always Right Match Committee - Round 17 Vs Sydney Swans 2021

[Mofra]

Has the #1 pick ever made their debut for the top team before? Somebody ask Sir Swamp :cool :

I guess early in the season it's more likely but I'd say by rd 17 it would be super rare.

Top team in the AFL and VFL.
What a time to be a Doggies fan... with an expected top 3 draft kid tied to us at the end of the year too

Rarely negative about selection but we look quite weak in some areas on paper. With Jamarra playing I am concerned it limits our ability to play English forward.

Will wait for final selections but I’m hoping we don’t get too creative and definitely not too tall. Pressure and defensive actions must be maintained.

Wouldn’t mind seeing English & Young share the ruck duties with Tim taking most of the centre bounces and then Lewis doing the bulk of the around the ground work.

Swans are a bit smaller at both ends too. Do we bring in Crozier to help free up Lewy?

Bench mix will be interesting.

Definitely want Young in. Wally probably should get another go with 3 late goals and Naughts out. Ed was good against the Eagles I thought.

Sweet has struggled in the VFL for the last two weeks (not through lack of effort). McNeil gives us the speed/pressure, Crozier might cover Lewy but Richards in might throw that balance out and Garcia is pretty hard at it, just might not offer much consistently throughout a game at this stage. I actually don't think Schache would be a good call looking at Swans line up. Schache and Marra combo could really limit our defensive pressure without giving us much in the air/marking wise.

I would drop Scott and bring in McNeil.

Yeah but Scott in the 18.

[Axe Man]

Yeah but Scott in the 18.

BAD lives by his own rules!

BAD lives by his own rules!

Bevo is just as likely to change the team around. Nothing is set in concrete till the first bounce

Well unless there is an injury/illness the 18 on the ground are set in concrete.

Schache has to be the sub.

I'm hearing there is a chance for a late change.

[GVGjr]

Schache has to be the sub.

I agree, normally you don't want one of the taller players as a sub but I think that suggestion makes sense.

[bulldogtragic]

I'm hearing there is a chance for a late change.

I’ll give you a $100 to say Hannan.
