Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
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 Seven match against Hawthorn for our Round Eight match against Hawthorn at Marvel on Sunday afternoon.
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Id rather kids that don’t have scar tissue like many of these players have. Sanders & Buss played well today and they can’t do worse than Buku or Gags tonight.

Yeah, give them a go. So add Sanders and Buss

I think we need to see what we have with a few players. We know we have some cooked guys, so let’s see if some kids might have something. I can’t believe the way some have fallen off a cliff.

Do you think we stuffed caleb around and now he just can't get back his rhythm? The turnovers were costly

Caleb has stuffed himself. I can't believe after tonight that Bevo will still get criticism for dropping Macrae and Daniel. They are in serious danger in the modern game.
And subbing Dale has resulted in him having 2 of his very best games of his career. But again Bevo's fault for dropping him to the sub.

Not 100%. I’d put him in one role for the rest of the year. Right now he’s a jack of no trades on his way to a trade for a future fourth.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
Daniels did himself zero favours when he came on as the sub. Just lacked touch and his most important assett which is poise with the ball in hand has deserted him.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
Out - Khamis, Bramble, Lobb, Weightman, Gallagher
In - Busslinger, Libba, Marra, Clarke, Arty
** Arty and Clarke give us something different up forward with goal nous/pace, even if Arty's VFL form hasn't demanded selection. Need to pump games into him and if he isn't up to it, we move on. I'd play him on the wing for stints too.
** Happy to swap Harmes with Gallagher. Feel Gags needs VFL time though.

Yes Time to move from dureya. Move VDM to defence.
