Always Right Match Committee Semi Final vs Brisbane 2021

[Scraggers]

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 Elimination Final match against Essendon for our Semi Finals match against Brisbane (Day, Time, Location 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.

Why would you make this?

[bulldogtragic]

Heavy legs I imagine. I’d like if fit Richards & Marra.

Not sure I can fit them in. Gardner is an upgrade on Cordy so no change.

Dunks and Adz in the second half looked like a small switch had flicked. If it’s the big switch when fitness meets talent, next week could be ok.


Them: No Hipwood & McStay will hurt them. Keath to Daniher. The best we have for Charlie Cameron. Defend the entries well and it seem ok on paper.

Under normal life conditions I would be now scrambling to book flights … on the flipside, so happy to have another week alive in the finals to distract myself from this COVID mess. Thank you Western Bulldogs.

Why would you make this?

I made it at half time … surrounded by 350 Essendon supporters at the pub. I had confidence

I think Vandmeer should be under pressure, either JJ or Garcia to come in.

VDM has lost his confidence and isn’t attacking the man or ball like he did last year.

If we made a change, he would be the one?

Would a fit Martin come in to play his old team?

Martin would be doubtful wouldn’t he.

Young performed very well I liked how he attacked the ruck contests late with some momentum and spiked it forward.

I mean this in the nicest possible way but I hope we don't consider Cordy. Gardner was fantastic today. He's miles ahead of Cordy.

I want Richards in, maybe for VDM who is OK at times but still a bit messy / needs to stick tackles consistently.

Martin for Young maybe a consideration.

I actually like our ruck mix today. All 3 worked over Draper.

No reason they can’t do the same this week

You can’t drop anyone from a defence group that kept Essendon goalless for a half. And there were some hairy moments in the first half that they managed to absorb.

The extra height and closing speed Gardner has over Cordy is very noticeable.

Anyone who played today would be very unlucky to be dropped.

[Hotdog60]

I think no change and VDM has been improving each game even if only slightly.

Yeah the defence held up well. There were quite a few high entries and none of them were marked. Cordy cannot come in and Gardy cannot be dropped.
