Always Right Match Committee - Round 19 Vs Melbourne 2021

[DOG GOD]

Between the two Melbourne games, these are the differences:

OUT:	IN:
Hayden Crozier	JUH
Patrick Lipinski	Richards
Lachlan McNeil	Schache
Jordon Sweet	Hannan
Louis Butler	Med Sub

Looking at the ins and outs, I think we are much stronger this time. Garcia didn't get much game time and was subbed out.

For Melbourne:

Out	IN:
Jake Melksham	J Viney
Sam Weideman	B Brown
Tom Sparrow	Med Sub

Are Melbourne stronger? I don't believe so.

I’d say Melb are stronger. Many on here don’t rate Brown, but if on song he could pluck everything in sight. We might just play him into form it the rain holds. Viney is battering ram stuff, and while in and under, allows Oliver and Petracca to play their natural roles.

We are stronger on paper certainly, but Hannan, Schache and JUH could easily not touch the ball tonight.

Brown hasn't played a decent game in two years

[comrade]

Melbourne are just as strong as last time, we're slightly stronger.

Not sure about us being stronger, but we should be better prepared this time. Forewarned is forearmed. Go 'Dogs.

I saw what you did there, did you?

Melbourne are stronger because there Ins COULD have good games, and we are weaker because our Ins COULD have bad games.

I propose the counter position.

Let’s settle for the Ins make no significant difference to the strength of either side

[The bulldog tragician]

It’s not just the ins, is it, it’s overall team balance. We will soon find out.

[divvydan]

No late changes for tonight’s blockbuster.

Tom Sparrow (@melbournefc) and Anthony Scott (@westernbulldogs) are the medical subs.

All locked in.

[bornadog]

All locked in.

Come on dogs, lets do it

[The bulldog tragician]

I’m baffled. I get that we’re trying to avoid May and Lever mark everything. But with the wet what happens when the ball hits the deck.

Oh for a zippy half forward… I’d have much preferred McNeil in the team.

In Bevo we…are perennially puzzled.

Something about this match is filling me with foreboding. Not in great form, signs of fatigue, playing a top of the table match at the G with no crowd, several of our best unavailable, selection mysteries, and a match where we need to confirm we are in that same bracket as Melb and Geelong. Gee what could go wrong…

What a ridiculous post. I should ban myself. #inbevowetrust

Lol. Classic.

[Rocco Jones]

Awesome moves. You're all idiots and Bevo is a genius*

*in retrospect

[jazzadogs]

It's happening. The reinvention of Josh Schache. After ??one half?? of playing defence at VFL level.

I'm excited to either love it or rabidly hate it. There will be no in between.

It happened, and I loved it!!! Josh Schache the 2022 AA CHB!!

[Scraggers]

Geez it’s good reading back over the comments in this thread from when the team selection dropped to the final siren of an epic win.

[comrade]

In his last two games Schache set records for a selected player sitting on the bench. What Bevo is doing with this selection is setting a new record. Sorry Schache, you don’t deserve this. Call in sick.

Reckon Schache put in a good shift and would be pretty happy with his work. How did you see his game Danjul?

[Eastdog]

Go Bevo

I don't usually post much in these threads
