Always Right Match Committee R21 vs GWS 2025

[Mat Lyons]

There will be 1 - 3 changes, depending on how things go today. The three VFL players listed below will have the spotlight on them to put their hand up.

Pre-VFL game, the following players will be right in the mix if they put together a good game: Harmes, Davidson, Liam Jones.

Vulnerable to be replaced: Vandermeer, McNeil, Busslinger (Poulter, Baker, Garcia and Cleary safe for now)

[Hotdog60]

Gotta start somewhere?

not sure why people are suggesting dropping Williams who would be top 5 in our BnF and has had a fantastic year

Williams has been off for the last few weeks and it's just little things such as decision making and disposal.
This is just my opinion and maybe after having a stint back at HB he hasn't adjusted to the wing like he was earlier in the season.

[doggies ftw]

I hate the fact that we’ll probably think we shouldn’t change the side based on a 90 pt win., and we’ll probably lose to a good side next week because of it.

Team selection still was poor last night and we absolutely have to get it right this week, not a chance we do though let’s be real here

[Bornadog]

Is that really an issue? People love seeing new players, that's the attraction for some members to suggest him.
His form at the VFL level and on training track will dictate his selection and he was an emergency last night so he might be around the mark.

How many games has he played in the VFL to warrant selection?

Davidson, Scott Harmes all playing well

How many games has he played in the VFL to warrant selection?

Has he played enough good games is the question. I think he is still just a bit off the pace.

We are singing from the same hym book

[doggies ftw]

With the VFL nearly done

Sellwood Buss JOD
Dale Lobb Bramble

Davo Libba Williams
English Bont Libba

Kennedy Naughty Sanders
West Darcy Buku

Freijah Cleary Garcia Harmes/VDM (sub one of these two)

In Davo, Buku, Sellwood, Harmes
out: Poulter, Baker, McNeil, JJ

its a lot of changes after a big win and most of those guys played ok last night but who cares we know what they offer against good sides and it’s **** all.

Buku probably won’t happen so JJ can be sub and Harmes & VDM both start.

We had two great wingers for the first time in years and we’ve butchered it, Sellwood in allows us to get back to our best side with Williams & Davo on the wings.

One of our best again today, a defender who can defend. Who’s keeping him out?

[Hotdog60]

I'll keep my power dry and leave it to the match committee as the conditions doesn't give you good indicator of performance.

[meenies]

My guess is that we will make no changes, right down to the three emergencies. Let the team last night battle GWS. Give them two weeks of consistency standing next to each other. Apologies for Harmes and maybe Jaques as the next two.

[Mat Lyons]

After watching the VFL, here are the changes:

In: L. Jones, Harmes
Out: Busslinger, Vandermeer

B: Johannisen L. Lones O'Donnell
HB: Dale Lobb Freijah
C: Williams Liberatore Sanders
HF: Kennedy Darcy Harmes
F West Naugton McNeil
Foll: English Richards Bontempelli
Int: Bramble, Garcia, Cleary, Poulter
Sub: Baker
Emerg: Davidson Khamis A. Scott

[Bumper Bulldogs]

My thoughts are we bring back in Jones, Harmes and Davidson.

I think Jones did a good job against Brisbane and we are better with him in the side. We will need him against GWS. Davidson is the winger we need and jones is hard at it and can finish infront of goal

my puts will be Poulter, McNeil and Buss. Poulter looked ok when hitting up at the logos but he isn’t infront of williams or Davies on the Wing.

McNeil IMO is behind Harmes up forward

My only problem is that I hope Libba gets up as he will be hard to replace right now.

[Pleather Sole]

So there's 23 NOT playing against plastic Greene.
He really hates playing at Docklands doesn't he?

Libba had boot stumps scrape across his ankle - depends how bad it was and how sore he is
