    Match Committee - Round 4 2017 vs North Melbourne

    If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 4, 2017 match against North Melbourne at Etihad?

    As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

    Let us know what changes you would make and why.

    Quite a few put their hand up to be dropped

    At the risk of being lined up, Caleb Daniel just isn't doing enough and his up and under kicking was dangerous tonight to team mates. Picken may not get up with a 6 day break. Cordy was a non factor. We seem a HBF heavy. Campbell was very poor around the ground, no real difference than Minson.

    Will Crameri get up? Dunkley & Smith must be itching for an opportunity. Has Webb done enough in the pre-season?

    Need to make a few changes. That was a bad loss, leading at 3/4 time and not giving a yelp in the last quarter.

    I don't think we'll go overboard but yeah a nice wake up to a few wouldn't hurt.

    Just can't warm to Suckling, real liability defensively, afraid of contact and looks lazy at times.

    Adams, Biggs, Daniel, both Boyds and Zaine need to be looked at.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I thought Toyd was OK in fits and spurts.

    Eager to see Daniel play twos and get some confidence back in his ball use. His dinky kicking has been disappointing in recent times.

    Adams needs to play next week, but must be counselled on his limitations and how not to expose them.

    Biggs upset me at times tonight too, as did Cordy.

    We need to talk about Tom (Boyd)...
    Form in the first 3 rounds has been pretty poor. Probably lucky that we have bugger all tall options

    It often takes a loss before our faithful look hard enough at team selections. It's good that it's been a while since that happened
    Cordy and Daniel should have been mentioned more last week but I'll give it a bit more thought.

    English or Crameri for Campbell (concede ruck hit outs - use Boyd with Cloke as pinch hit, however improve mobility around ground)

    Smith (if Picken does not recover)

    Dunkley for Daniel

    Williams for Biggs

    Cordy moves like a 1980s robot. I'd definitely consider him for dropping.

    Out: Cordy- if he isn't playing in defence he doesn't play for mine
    Daniel- needs to get some confidence

    In: Smith- need some aggression in the forward line
    Crameri- better forward than Zaine
