Match Committee - Round 18 vs Essendon

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 18 match against Essendon at Etihad?

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

Bump, Zaine Cordy a chance to debut?

In my dreams.

Roughy, Hrovat, Robert & Hamling possibles.

Was our best in a crap team display.

In: Hamling, Boyd
Out: Talia, Dale

Hamling is hopefully right to go. Boyd to come in and play second ruck too.

Talia, I'm not prepared to write off and thought he'd had some tough match ups today with his opponents at various times having too much height, speed and agility but prefer Hamling at the moment. Dale unlucky but think Prudden has done enough to get another game.

Would be great if either Roughead or Roberts can come in, but I'm not sure either will be ready. Tough to decide who would miss, too.

Safe to assume Macrae will get a fine at most?

How was Honeychurch yesterday? Think we need his F50 pressure, probably at Caleb's expense.

I would have Roberts, Hamling and Roughy in our best 22. I wonder if they would risk playing all three coming off injury. I think it's less of a risk than playing Talia as a KP defender.

Based on the vision, for sure.

He was good, got a bit of the ball.

Talia's lack of height was evident today as was Morris'

Did Morris lose a 1 on 1 contest? I can't remember it happening.

Do we go tall and try to get Hooker playing defence?

Roughy and Boyd could be the ones to play ruck, defence and forward with Campbell and Redders??

Only one I can really think of against Grundy but that was a clear Collingwood break and the big was perfect for Grundy.
