Re: Always Right Match Committee Finals Edition
I am challenged by Gallagher playing, and a few others but as others have mentioned nit-picking over the bottom 3 or 4 will matter for little if we get a good spread of contributors.
If our best 12-14 play well we will win comfortably and the rest can come along for the ride.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Finals Edition
I?m devastated that West isn?t playing. Other than an injury he needs to be in the side. Pressure, forward craft and the little blocks and Buzz he creates is infectious. He has aggression and can finish. Please can some one actually explain how McNeil or Gags actually add more value than Ryley.

Speed. They have pace. I agree West is a tough out.

He does have a broken jaw though, right? Maybe he just isn?t quite right yet.

Any chance Treloar misses considering Macrae and Harmes on the pine?

I don't think so. Moved ok on Wednesday at the main training session.

Looking at how much strapping there was on his calf last night, he has to be a chance to miss. I'm absolutely no expert, but I do a decent amount of running and calf injuries are b$%# to get right. Especially as you get older.

The photos of him yesterday his face looks swollen. Wouldn't be unusual to not be fully recovered from jaw surgery less than 3 weeks ago.

He played VFL last week? He’s fine and should be playing.

personally I would rather have Jj or Baker?s than McNeil, who is improving.
I understand that JJ has not sufficiently recovered.
But earlier this year I saw Baker kick 3 goals in a game. In the vfl he has been regularly kicking goals. Got three of 8 recently.
Earlier in the year I saw him outrun the opposition while taking bounces and deliver the ball to Naughton who goaled. And I assume he is familiar with the MCG.
I know our game plan has been centred on McNeil so I have my fingers crossed.

Sorry I said Harmes should come in. Was just a dumb thing to think and say.

I still would have chosen West over him.

Really disappointing display. I was sitting near a Bulldogs supporter who's convinced Harmes was planted into the line-up to disrupt our chances.

Conspiracy theory.
That was Gags.
