Always Right Match Committee Round 19 V Melbourne At Marvel On Saturday Night
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 18 match against St.Kilda for our Round 19 match against Melbourne at Marvel on Saturday 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.

Do we stick with the two ruckman again? Stats might say no but it might have helped the midfielders.

Yes. We should’ve stuck with Sweet last week. English has been poor two weeks running. Gawn will chew him up and spit him out next week.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Tempted to drop Cody, he needs to go back to basics has had a very ordinary year.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 19 V Melbourne At Marvel On Saturday Night
In: Naughton
Out: McNeil
I also thought Hannan was average and used it poorly, but think we’ll stick with him. If not Schache could come in and play back.

I can’t see how we play Sweet & Bruce next week… Bruce wasn’t even competitive and Sweet either plays as #1 ruck or not at all.

My concern is English hasn't been competitive the last two weeks.

He (English) was better in the ruck contests, but did very little around the ground…. Just don’t see what Sweet offers except being competitive in in the ruck. He was a liability when he played as a forward and wasn’t helped that Bruce was too.

Surely.
What do the results show when we run with two ruckman? If I recall it was heavily skewed in favour of playing both, despite the coach’s continued reluctance to do it.
I don’t care what Sweet’s stats are, his inclusion seems to generate an elastic effect on the midfield’s effectiveness.

Tim is mentioned by Bevo in his presser for getting us going in the first. Won the hit outs. Competitive plus. Not sure what else he has to do. His around the ground wasn't up to his standard and his marking too. Rusty if anything. Before he was injured/ concussed earlier in the season Tim was touted as the best ruck going around. Bit too hard on him Aza.

You don't feel like Hannan and Bruce are worth persisting with?

In Naughton, Hunter
Out Sweet, McNeil
Would consider Schache in for Keath.
