Always Right Match Committee - 2023 Finals Edition

[GVGjr]

Lets be bold and brave and back that we will be playing in the first week of the finals

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 Hawthorn in preparation for week one of the finals?

For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Drop Bruce for Schache call it Addition by subtraction

[Grantysghost]

And Bailey Williams he was poor I thought defensively. Got caught wrong side of his opponent a lot.

First draft

In : Schache, McLean
Out : Bruce, Williams.

[azabob]

IN: Garcia, Scott,

OUT: Bruce, VDM,

Depending who we play I’d consider KEATH for WILLIAMS

Bruce is just shot right now. All he did was act as a decoy and chop out a few ruck contests. Schache can do that and possibly be a bit more dangerous in front of goal.

Still need Pies to win, Carlton starting to look good.

I'm not sold on Schache but he normally does have one good game in him when he comes in.
I doubt the MC makes the call to drop Bruce though

Completely agree. I don't think they'll make any changes at all unless it's forced.

Scott for Williams

O’Brien or Khamis for Cordy (won’t happen though)

Schache for Bruce (won’t happen though)

West as sub not McComb or West for Vanders if injured and Cleary or Garcia as sub

[G-Mo77]

Sorry Josie. In no way shape or form do I want to see O'Brien in a team playing finals. I'm not comfortable having him play in a regular season game.

[Rocco Jones]

I want Darcy up forward. I actually see him as a defender long term but think his all or nothing approach down back atm hurts us a bit.

Idk if it's wise to throw Darcy into the ruck atm and he'd probably have to take over the R2/fwd role from Bruce but I'd go for it.

- Keath for Zaine
- Maybe smaller down back? Darcy goes forward and no Bruce?
- What Rhylee back in, VDM injured again? Scott or Tobias a chance as well.

Can we delete this thread before it's too late.

We will lock it down if the cards don't fall the way we would like.

[josie]

I think we should delete this thread now. Sigh.

[Mutz]

Blues 74 - Pies 75. Gotta leave this post up now.
I want to see Keath in for Cordy.
Also like to see West back in but not sure who, definitely McComb.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Out - Carltank
In - Western Bulldogs
