Match Committee - Round 23 2016 vs Fremantle

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 23 2016 match against Fremantle at Domain Stadium?

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

There always appears to be some vacancies in our side.

Who makes the trip to Fremantle and who makes way?

Please try and advise some of your reasoning's behind your changes

Clay Smith and Dunkley just don't offer enough to compensate for the constant ball butchering.

More class is required and Williams has it in spades. Roberts is just too much of a liability, so Cordy can go back into defence.

OUT: Smith, Dunkley, Wood, Roberts
IN: Williams, Stringer, Morris, Campbell

On the basis Wood misses, I'm thinking similar to you comrade.

Williams would be a good inclusion for us, as would Campbell. Both played some good minutes earlier in the year and help us address a few issues.

Not sure on Moz given he's missed a few now, hard to see him making the flight to Perth.

Three of those four ins as a minimum. Cordy is a natural defender, and a potentially bloody good one, it's time to send him to the men's club and reunite Camhead. Stringer has hopefully got the message. Hopefully Morris & Suckling are ready to come back.

Are you resting Roughy?

yes, I think it would freshen him up before the finals.

Fair call.
I'd like to see Morris, Suckling and Macrae play if they're ready. Think Clay and Dunkley are probably first out. Wood obviously won't play.

That's a fair call. Has carried a huge load and looked in need of a spell today. Maybe they'd prefer to give him a game with TC before finals though, given the week off before finals.

Tricky team to call next week given the week off then finals. I'd love to see Williams get a go as he could really add something.

I'll go Williams, Campbell in, Wood, Roberts out.

There is a bye right after the game. Seems excessive

Re: Match Committee - Round 23 2016 vs Fremantle

We have been beaten soundly in the ruck in the past two games against moderate opposition. Campbell needs to return given the fact that both he and Roughead have been our best ruck combination this year. Wood is a huge loss which to some degree is helped by the return of Morris. Without Wood Liberatore and Macrae we need the return of Stringer's class with his dropping hopefully seeing him refreshed for a return. I can hear the calls for Fletcher Roberts going out but having stuck with him all year believe he should be retained. Getting senior games into Hrovat Dunkley Cordy and Webb augers well for the future.
In. Morris Stringer and Campbell
Out. Wood Clay Smith and Roarke Smith who can be considered unlucky in what was a promising debut.
