Always Right Match Committee - Round 11 Vs Brisbane 2020
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 12 match against Port Adelaide for our Round 8, 2020 match against Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Saturday 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.

English? With 7-8 hitouts to advantage in the first quarter alone?

He's cooked. Ladhams was one of Port's best.

Schache v Harris Andrews?
Please no!
Hopefully Naughton is good to go.

Bruce is going that badly, Schache is my preferred option.

We can't play Weightman again this year, well at least against half decent opposition... he's absolutely miles away from being able to contribute.

I had him as my 5th out but thought 5 was too many. He's a kid against men.

Honestly, the ins and outs matter little. Our bottom 5 are completely ineffective and we have a completely incompetent forward line which cannot be fixed by current personnel on our list. Naughton helps but he's one player.

He has endeavour but the kid just isn't ready. Especially in a high pressure game like that.

I've given up on 2020 as a season we can do any damage in, so don't mind giving the kids a chance to develop. He's not the difference between a win and a loss anyway.
We need to send a message that performances like tonight from experienced players like Wood, JJ and Bruce won't be tolerated. We apparently put so much weight on training & scratch match performances yet continue to overlook what actually happens on match day.

We simply don't have anyone to come in for Bruce, the only thing we'd do is put in Trengove and let English play more forward, which he's only shown glimpses of being able to pinch hit at. The MC selections have been confusing to say the least so that may happen. I don't think Sweet can ruck a full game even at 16 minute quarters yet, so if Sweet comes in English also stays and we need a tall (and Schache is a flanker, like Dale, more than a tall).
I still think Cordy can be thrown forward at a pinch, he's aggressive, but that means Trengove (or Gardner) plays back and the MC seem hesitant for either to happen now.

I'm not huge on Weightman thus far but considering the amount of non-factor players we are carrying I would rather the point of difference he could provide over some of the other guys.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Agree, I would drop him for Fergus Greene who kicked 4 in the scratch match.
Vandermeer was ordinary tonight as was Roarke Smith, Lipinski. We are carrying too many players but who can come in?
West, Hunter, Naughton, Schache, Dickson may be ready to come back in
