    Always Right Match Committee Semi Final vs Brisbane 2021

    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?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    It was a wonderland of booze and fairies (sorry … Essendon supporters that believe in mythical creatures). But by the end of the game, there was only one team left

    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.

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

    No reason they can’t do the same this week

    Josie raised Roarke Smith, I want Richards in the team and my question is can Richards play Smiths role?

    Roarke had a poor first half, but a better second half.

    I thought Wood held his own today. We need his experience so I woudn't be dropping him either.
