Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 3 match against Hawthorn at Etihad?

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

Any changes likely?

Bailey Dale for Dunkley would be my only change

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

A few of our guys were looking pretty sore at the end. Wonder if there will be one or two who don't come up. The new bench cap will test a lot of teams' depth this year. Could suit us as we seem to have another dozen who could step straight in.

Dunkley definitely seemed to struggle to run it out. Showed a bit again but could do with a rest and a game for a Jong or Dale.
Think a bit will depend on how some guys come up although an 8 day break will help.

Quiet game for Dunkley. Reward for effort means Dale takes his spot. This team is goin places!

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

Depending how everyone pulls up but I'd probably only look at Dale for Dunkley. It'll depend on whether Dale actually played well or just kicked 7 goals in a one sided smashing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dunkley get a number of games back to back.

I'd change Dunkley for Webb or Adcock.

I'm not convinced with Suckling but he will play against his old side.

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

Is Suckling trying too hard or he hasn't quite worked out the pace we play.

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

no change unless injuries and/or someone being rested.

No that is the way he played at the Hawks.

Re: Match Committee - Round 3 2016 vs Hawthorn

Anybody at the game notice if Stringer was moving ok after his goal in the 2nd quarter from the JJ intercept? Looked to be favouring the lower abdomen.

Yeah went off for a fair chunk of either that quarter or the 3rd. Seemed ok when he came back though.

There will be changes. We won't go 3 weeks without one. They were hitting our boys hard tonight, cheaply as well I might add so I'd expect at least 2. Dunkley will probably make way for Dale.

Out: Dunkley and M Boyd

In: Dale and Webb

Boyd to be managed and have a rest, whilst Dunkley may benefit from getting more opportunity with the ball in hand at VFL level for a few weeks after a good taste.

The two in's are the players I think are closest to selection at the moment and a game against Hawthorn is a great experience for them.

Ditto.
