Always Right Match Committee - Round 18 Vs Gold Coast Suns 2021

[comrade]

Out : Wallis, Ugle-Hagen, Hannan (he was rubbish)
In: Dunkley, Naughton, McNeil

That's mine too.

Wallis can't play at senior level for us again, IMO. JJ on very thin ice.

JJ was extremely poor today. He will be exposed big time in the finals.

It's forward or bust for JJ. Can't trust him to beat an opponent in D50 anymore, needs to purely be a pressure forward from now on and if he can't do that, bye.

He got outmarked today by Dawson, when we needed him to win that contest or at least spoil. Offers nothing aerially.

JJ has $600,000 (nearly 5% of our TPP) next season. I’m firmly in the bye category now.

Wally seemed to arrive at contests a second after it had been run and won. I don't see him in our best side.

Unfortunately, we're stuck with him. No one is taking that on.

I don’t see him in our side next week. When he is dropped, that’s should be the moment he accepts another clubs offer. I didn’t see him last year, but save for some junk goals against 18th last week, I don’t see how he fits into our plans going forward. In a different forward line maybe he’s of value, but with us I unfortunately just don’t see it happening.

[bulldogtragic]

Unfortunately, we're stuck with him. No one is taking that on.

Everyone has a price. I’d take almost a draft points type trade, forgoing any tangible return and pay some of the contract if pushed. We just can’t tie our TPP up with 5% to an average forward pocket. Another club looking for a marketing face and thinks he can be a hbf might be tempted. This is the one really glaring contract we need to fix up. And Sam Power has to fix it.

[comrade]

I would also probably be ok if Marra got another game.

Something like:

Out: Wallis, Hannan
In: Dunks, Naughts

And once Martin is right to go, Marra comes out.

[angelopetraglia]

I love Wally. Love his energy, leadership and what he brings to the group. But he had a few pivotal moments today and every time he didn't get the job done. Dropped marks, fumbled, missed targets by hand (which is one of his key strengths) and just doesn't do enough (only 8 touches today). He can't play. I would have a number in front of him in that position including McLean and even Lippa who dominated in the VFL again.

In: Naughton, Lipinksi, Dunkley
Out: Marra, Wallis, Hanan

[The Bulldogs Bite]

We have a lot of players out of touch currently.

Hannan and Wallis top of the list, JJ is struggling, Scott has been quiet but I still think he's ahead of others, the ruck situation is an issue and also doesn't allow Lewy to settle as a KPD, Williams is struggling and Cordy...

Marras debut was awful if we're being honest. I'd rather play him than Hannan though.

I still hate what we're doing with the ruck.

In - Dunkley, Naughton
Out - Hannan, Wallis

McLean is one I'd ideally like in the side if he's OK to go. Sweet should have played today so I can't see why we'd play him now with Naughton coming back.

We really need a few of our injured players back as we can't keep carrying Hannan/Wallis/Marra/Scott/Garcia etc.

[Scraggers]

If Dunks is right, then he’s an instants in. Hannan makes way for Naughts.
So McNeill, Scott and Hannan out
Dunks, Naughts and Crozier (sub)

[Grantysghost]

If Dunks is right, then he’s an instants in. Hannan makes way for Naughts.

Dunkley spoke prior to the game to the Player Sponsors and said he's ticked all the boxes and is definitely ready to go. Said he would've played this week if it was a final.

Dunks said a few telling things today.
If it was a final, he was more likely to have played.
He didn't think there were anymore boxes to tick.
He's been in contact drills for a few weeks now.

I guess the only question is if he gets a week at Footscray.
