Match Committee - Round 15, 2017 vs West Coast

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 15, 2017 match against West Coast at Etihad?

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

What happened to Cordy?

Was taken off by the trainers late in the game, not to come back. Assuming he's injured, to come off in a vital time in the hands of trainers.

What happened to Cordy?

Bevo down played it when asked about it in his post match presser. Didn't seem to think there was anything in it.

So I'm not really sure what to do with the big guys. Roughy is probably the best ruckman, Campbell can't be dropped off of the best game of his career, and Boyd has to play.

I'm kind of inclined to play all three and leave Boyd out of the ruck entirely, but that's probably too top heavy. Can't see Roughead getting dropped either. Genuinely intriguing!

Dickson needs a spell; hasn't fired a shot this year.

In - XL-Boyd, Murphy

Out - Cordy (inj)/Redpath, Dickson

Agree.

To me you play T.Boyd with Campbell or Roughead. Not both. Roberts needs to play and Murphy for Dicko. Depending on Murph I'd also consider Smith for Dicko.

He had his legs taken out from under him.

With a studs up sliding effort on the ball from the NM player. Not far removed from the Rohan incident that caused the rule change. Yet, no call. That rule is a disgrac, punishing blokes desperate to get hands on the ball.

Tripping and kicking in danger accounts for all the scenarios that can pop up and it should've been utilised in this instance.

Can Roughead, Campbell and Boyd all play if Redpath doesnt? I wouldnt mind seeing Boyd play permanent forward

Gee.....I hope Kennedy doesn't get up to play next week. Have no idea who we will play on him. Thought Roughy was serviceable against Brown last night but he simply can't keep up with Kennedy. Big Tom's game last night creates a problem. Not sure we can play all of Roughy, TC and Boyd.......Redpath must remain.

With Jongy out I thought we lacked some running power so getting Murphy back is important and he should replace Dickson who has been poor for weeks and needs a spell with Footscray. JJ was marginally better last night but we simply can't do without his run....although his turnovers were horrendous last night on a couple of occasions.

Great to see Bont's return to form.....and the fact he played so much more in the midfield. Perhaps he is getting over whatever injury he has been carrying.

Is Kennedy in the frame to return?

Campbell was terrific last night and prefer him at this stage to Tom Boyd who has had an ordinary season. Murphy is an obvious inclusion and should replace an out of form Dickson. Prefer also to see Matthew Boyd return after two good performances in the VFL.
Happy to see Suckling miss but doubt it will occur.
In. Murphy M Boyd
Out. Dickson Honeychurch
