Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 8 2016 match against Melbourne at the MCG?

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

Its a different and far better Melbourne we will be playing next Sunday. Who comes in and goes out?

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

Ins: Tom Boyd, Stevens/Jong/Dunkley
Outs: Roberts, Adcock

Roughead, resting back or playing back.
Would like to see Collins or Cordy.
Hrovat to the VFL. Suckling & JJ still in the rehab room.

Think Boyd will need at least a week in the magoos and I can't see Bevo naming a team with Boyd, Red, Roughy, Campbell.

Roberts and Adcock, definite outs. What was Fletch thinking trying to mark that ball at the end?

Agree with this depending upon who of Hammer and Dad are in better form. If T Boyd is ready I'd also have him in for Campbell, but he might need a run at Footscray first

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

As awful as Roberts was, I want to stick with him. He was one of our better defenders for quite a while last year, until he went out with injury. I think he can return to the form that saw him able to out-mark and or spoil his opponent and to have the judgment to know when was the appropriate course of action.
Adcock though needs to have a rest. Whilst Roberts was a human witch's hat at times tonight, Adcock committed various errors that were effort based. That is not excusable, especially from one who was an AFL club captain.

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

Let's see who puts their hand up for Footscray tomorrow. Cordy and Collins have an opportunity if they're ready, Cordy for Adcock and Collins for Roberts. Hamling is listed to play FF. That may change given Roberts poor display.

Hamling is very unlikely be promoted unless there are injuries and I think Stevens will need another week. Collins being rested wouldn't normally bode well for a call up but you never know.

I thought Campbell played really well tonight, why do you want him out?

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

I can't see Adcock missing. Bevo pointed him out as an important part of the big 6 in the press conference

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

I don't necessarily but I preferred Roughy as ruck and Boyd as a forward, hence Campbell would be my choice to go out. If Boyd isn't ready he stays in.

Well he ain't gonna pot him on national TV.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Dale and/or McLean make way. McLean for a rest more than anything.
