Always Right Match Committee Round 5 vs Essendon

[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 Four match against Geelong for our Round Five match against Essendon 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'm indifferent on VDM and who takes the pressure forward role but my lord Daniel looks slow as hell nowdays. Did everyone catch on that you can pressure him and not just let him dance in place for a while until he finds a kick he likes? Or has he actually lost a yard or some agility?

Garcia with his pace would be a better fit for...whatever role it is we have him doing.

I'm so over VDM and his role as a pressure forward. His skill level when he eventually gets the ball is ordinary to say the least. If you want a pressure forward who can tackle get someone from Melbourne Storm.

But if Laith isn't playing who will we have doing zoomies while his opponents stand still and move the ball around him?

He reminds me of a kid driving a dodgem car. One speed only, over which he has no control, bounces off one obstacle after another while the operator stands calmly in the middle watching him with bemusement.

would you be surprised to know VDM disposal efficiency was 79%? I was, he had 2 turnovers for the game. For comparison sake Flea went at 56% turning it over 4 times.

Nothing to lose playing Garcia and Clarke/Artie to replace Daniel and Macrae

I have never understood the continual calls for Artie. He flashes in and out of play, IMHO but could never be relied upon for consistent contributions.

I mentioned it in the game day thread swap Dale and VDM.
Garcia in for Daniel
Macrae for Treloar.

Wow. That is harsh on Ads. He had 10 coaches votes last week. This week he gets 37 touches and kicks the goal to get us back in the game. Five tackles too.

Maybe it is but he frustrates me more than the other midfielders But that's just me.

Hotdog60 is very harsh on Treloar imo, of 19 woofers who have voted 9 have Treloar in their votes, I'll take a game of 37 possessions, a goal, 5 tackles and 6 clearances anytime.

I did hear during the telecast or post game that he was running at 50% efficiency for the night. 37 touches and turned it over half the time.
