Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
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 23 match against POrt for our first week of the finals (Day, Time, Location and opponent To Be Confirmed) ?
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
No change is what will happen….
We can win, but probably won’t.

It’s deck chairs, titanic stuff.
I’m doing my changes even though they won’t happen.
In: Schache, Martin/Sweet, Marra, Richards, Wallis, Gardner
Out: Cordy, Wood, JJ, Smith, VDM, Young

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
I reckon we will bring Martin in. Draper isn’t an aerobic beast and we found something with Young tonight to give us versatility beyond English.
May not happen but I would bring Gardner in for Cordy he is just getting hit up on too often. Even aerial balls he just doesn’t make body contact.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
Wouldn’t mind Richards as a half back option. Daniel was exceptional tonight but I felt we missed his clean hands as an option around the ball at times.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
We need Schache up forward. He would have some confidence after playing down back. Richards in for Wood. Maybe Gardner for Cordy to play on Wright.
I have a feeling though we are cooked. So many guys are either under done or over done.
In : Schache, Richards
Out: Vanders, Wood

He has to play instead of Wood… just has to.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Finals Week 1
I mean, if Bevo is serious, Wood can’t play. That’s just a given. If he’s picked, there is absolutely no selection integrity and it’s a piss take to think other wise.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Can we go back to the future with Cordy and move him forward? He is struggling badly down back and we desperately need some aerial aggression up forward.

As bad as Easton was tonight, he will still be in the side next week.

Agree. They won’t drop wood, cordy or JJ this late in the game.

Cordy can’t get to a contest… his movement is like that of the slowest moving thing on this planet.
But he’s a favourite so he plays when he likes.

I can’t say selection integrity has been an absolute constant this year. Sure some weeks, others made no sense.
I asked during the week why the club ignored the ‘1 Year if over 30’ rule last yea4 with Wood. I wonder whether Wood has done enough of the cours3 of this year that if the club did stick with the rule, whether Woods last game this year would be his farewell game?
