Always Right Match Committee - Round 15 Vs West Coast Eagles 2021
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 14 match against Geelong for our Round 15, 2021 match against West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium on Sunday Arvo?
For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

It's time for JUH BT. I don't care if Schache kicks 20 in the VFL I'm not picking him over JUH again.

Tobias was awesome upon his return, but he pulled up lame a few times, hard to get match fitness in during such a short recovery period.
I think we need to sit on the injury news, but if naughts is out, we need to unleash JUH.

Agree Toby was a great story tonight. Thought he gave everything and showed he's got a lot to add to our best team going forward.
Not sure unleashing JUH in Perth for his first game is ideal. He didn't show a great deal in VFL tonight.

We really needed Martin tonight, hopefully he is ready for next week.

I wanna drop Hannan but I’m already really bummed out at the thought of playing Schache again.

English had no influence. Ratugolea did a lot of hard work around the contested ball that Martin would have negated. We missed him.

You have to reward performance and Schache performed. Good 5 goals that he got. Would have him pencilled in v WCE and ask him to bring the same level of intensity that he did in the VFL tonight.
JUH- no., Got 2 cheap goals and looked sore. He is a brilliant, but next week is not the right week.

Going on the VFL game yesterday, it’d be less an unleashing and more a release him to get destroyed. He looked a mile off AFL football yesterday.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we just replace Naughton with Martin and Wally goes out, although Lipinski, Schache, Garcia and Richards were all good enough in the VFL to warrant selection.

Immediate thoughts without knowing who is fit / who isn’t:
In Martin (if healthy)
Out Naughton (if injured)
In Richards
Out McLean (seemed a bit proppy, who knows?)
In Wallis (let him tag Sheed)
Out Roarke (good depth, but not offering us quite enough - did he have a defensive role? Hard to tell on TV)

Do you think we dropped him because he wasn't ready? Could it have been because of the conditions?
