    Always Right Match Committee Round Nine v Collingwood at Marvel

    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 Eight match against Port Adelaide for our Round Nine match against Collingwood at Marvel on Friday night?

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

    I would hope that English, Keath and Bont are all ready to come back in. Depending on injuries is who goes out. I hope Buku gets another week or two

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Nine v Collingwood at Marvel

    Based simply on output tonight I can't see how the following get a game.

    Vanda. Injured so out anyway.
    McNeil. Just doesn't do enough.
    Scott. Maybe a COVID pass. But 8 touches from a wing?
    Smith. Only 11 touches on the other wing? Some seriously week contests.
    Martin. Playing like he has lead weights in his boots. He is cooked. Finished. Can't play again.

    I don’t think we ever need to see Martin again.

    Cleary might be a smokie, although not very tall he’s been good in VFL and possibly play better than Williams who I think is in poor form.

    Some players only staying in because cupboard almost bare (McNeil, Scott, Roarke, Cordy, McComb)

    Presuming worst case for injuries:
    In: Bont, Keath, English, Cleary, West, Schache
    Out: O’Brien (inj), Gardner (inj), Martin, VDM (inj), Weightman (inj), Williams

    Could Dunks have delayed concussion with that tackle that led to his free kick and goal?

    With all the injuries I’d be hesitant to drop any of them. They left it all out there and there’s gonna be plenty of moving parts anyway.

    Odds on this week we get hit by some COVID protocols. I can just see it. When it rains, it pours.

    That was nasty. The side of his head was bruised and getting darker. Dare say he will have a headache tonight.

    Can't see Wally coming in as he was 1 to 2 weeks and with a foot we should take 2 weeks. These guys are a lock for out:

    Out:
    Cody Weightman (Collar Bone)
    Ryan Gardner (Ankle)
    Tim O'Brian (Calf)
    VDM (Hammy)
    Josh Dunkley (Concussion)
    Martin - too old and slow. Got burnt tonight

    but I think a couple more are lucky - McComb, Scott and McNeil. Rourke you could add, but I doubt we have anyone else we can add.

    Ins:

    Keath - maybe
    English - Hopefully
    Bont - I hope so
    Schache - if Gardner is out and O'Brien's out then he has to come back in unless we go with Crozier
    West - Dunks replacement/Flea/VdM replacement

    Would persist with Khamis - thought he was ok. Made some good decoy runs and created space for Naughts. I think he may improve if he gets more game time.
