If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 5, 2017 match against Brisbane Lions at Etihad?
As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

"Footscray people are incredible people; so humble. I'm just so happy - ecstatic"
Crameri, Wallis, Dicko, Roughy & Morris all not back.
Question marks on Tom Boyd & Cloke. I'm not sold Matty Boyd is doing enough. Outs will depend on injuries.
Lipinski kicked 4 goals, so I'd like to reward that.

Hopefully Crameri is fine to come in for Cloke. Daniel in for Moyd who is struggling.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Bailey Williams in
M Boyd out
How's English going? I'd bring him in as a roving CHF if Cloke is sore. He's in hospital so doesn't look good.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
English still a ways off IMO. Liked whay he did today but he is just so lite. We may not have a choice though.
If the temptation to bring English in for Cloke the one thing in his favour is the Brisbane don't have any monster rucks.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...
Injuries are really catching up with us already. Hard to know who we can bring in for T. Boyd and Cloke.
M. Boyd is close but with no Morris and an out of form Wood, we probably need to persist.
I wouldn't ruck English just play him forward. We need to rotate a few players through the side to find the right balance or rough gems we can polish. Williams and English would be my ins for M. Boyd and Cloke. T. Boyd looks ok.

I'm a believe in playing your best players and not giving a game to someone just because you NEED a tall but having both Cloke and Tom Boyd might stretch that. We just do not have a tall who is worth to play next week. Happy to see Lipsinki play as i feel we could do with a natural goal scorer (relying on reports here) and Caleb apparently played well.
Just thinking without Cloke and Tom Boyd...
Stringer and Zaine as key forwards? Zaine, Jong and Bonts offering relief in ruck? Yikes...
I just feel English will be lost at the level but maybe we just have to.
As the person who coined the phrase "a shit tall is still shit", I agree with you . But I do think English can impact in other parts of the ground, and his strong football IQ mitigates his slender frame - Campbell still does the vast amount of the ruck work for mine, but if English can chop out 5 mins a qtr it will really help, otherwise we burn out Campbell and then we'll really need to bring Minno back. Dunks, Bont and Jongy will also be doing plenty of secondary ruck work around the ground in the next week or two while we wait for the cavalry to arrive.
