Always Right Match Committee Round 23 v Hawthorn at UTas Stadium on Sunday

[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 Round 22 match against GWS for our Round 23 match against Hawthorn at University of Tasmania Stadium on Sunday arvo.

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

Agree with this ... If not Schache, Keath

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Out - Martin and McNeil

In - Buku and Garcia. They were both unlucky to be dropped IMO

Time for Martin and Keith to hang up the boots.

[MrMahatma]

Bruce was better this weekend, he’ll come back in.

Bruce to replace Martin. Buku to sub and Smith out

[Dry Rot]

Can someone explain to me how VDM and McNeill get picked ahead of Garcia?

[josie]

Out: McNeill, VDM, Cordy (talk he might be suspended)
In: Maclean, Garcia, Khamis

[The bulldog tragician]

In: Schache, McClean

Out: Martin, McNeil

McLean….!!!!! Sorry BAD, could not resist.
Surely they won’t play Martin again…but selections have been so perplexing this year.

I suspect it will be
Out: Martin and Vandermeer
In: Bruce and McLean

O'Brien on standby for Cordy if he is suspended

If Bruce was managed not omitted then he has to come back in this week especially given at the end of next week it's either curtains for the season or there is a week off before finals.

An unfortunate fact is:

The only finals the dogs won in the last 5 years were won without Bruce in the team.

In fairness to Bruce he has been with us just 3 of those 5 years and was injured last year when we got to the GF.
Given his form in 2021 I think we would have been a better side with him available.
