    Always Right Match Committee - Round 15, 2018 vs Geelong

    Welcome to the Always Right Match Committee Thread. This has been named after a long time WOOF member who tragically passed away in March 2018.

    Always Right


    If you were on the Western Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 15, 2018 match against Geelong at Etihad Stadium?

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

      In

      Greene, Jong, Suckling, hopefully some run and carry player is fit

      Out

      Smith, Honeychurch, Lipinski, JJ/Hunter (leaders should be held to the same standards as followers)

            I thought his run was good. I thought his kicking was by and large lacking. Hunter would be my first out, but I see JJ as an easier call for the MC if they want to make such a decision to drop a senior player like they've done with Stringer & Libba previously.

              I thought some of his sweep work and run was excellent.

              Might be hard to find too many ready to come in from the VFL, at this stage I'd take out Smith (switch a Williams/JJ/Richards back) and bring in Greene, if only for team balance.
              Suckling an automatic in if fit. Halftime interview mentioned he has to see how it came up after his rehab training today.

                  Him and Smith just offer nothing. Tonight showed them up. And it was prob Smith’s best ever game for us. He was rubbish.

                      Honey, Smith, Lipinski out and Greene, Suckling and Jong in. If Suckling not ready Lipinski gets another game.

                      Sick of Hunter’s turnovers too. What would he be worth on trade table and is he out of contract end of this year? I like him and know he is part of leadership group but he seems to have plateaued and still lots of turnovers, not that many tackles and awful shot for goal. Sorry, I know this is wrong thread for trade talk.

                      Our day will come
                      And we'll have everything.
                      We'll share the joy
                      Just like '54 again.

                        Hunters miss at the end of the 3rd quarter running into an open goal was unforgivable.

                          Suckling for Smith
                          Lipinski for either Greene
                          Jong for Honeychurch
                          I know Roarke hasn’t played many games, but with his injuries and time on the list, he needs to make every post a winner

                              This.

                              I’m a broken record but I can’t fathom how we play these two. Both are suburban level players.
