Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns

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


If you were on the Western Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make after our Round 7 match against Essendon for our Round 8, 2020 match against Gold Coast Suns at Metricon on Thursday night?

For those new to these threads, please give a brief explanation for your changes ... this would add a lot of value to the discussion.

Sorry GVG, dropped the ball. thanks for starting the thread

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns

Who is our second tall defender if you drop Cordy?

I don't like Young as a defender.

I think Young did a fine job late last year as the first or second tall defender. If it's a question of size I think Young can physically cover just about anyone Cordy can. Perhaps it's not the size you're concerned with though?

You are right, Young did well last year.

I like the idea as Young as a second ruckman. A defender being a second ruckman will require organisation and awareness by our players not to get caught out.

Out: Dale
In: Lew Young

Young will provide as much defence in the F50, but adds another tall option and can chop in the ruck. Appears he’s a mile off selection though.

Ultimately, I think we will go unchanged.

Just a shame there's nothing stickied on this site to keep us in the loop.

We should ask Axe Man to do something, I heard a rumour he's handy with that kind of stuff.

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns

I'd go

In: Lloyd, Trengove
Out: Dale, Richards

I am fine with Richards, just think an extra tall is better with balance vs Suns. Trengove gives us a bigger body too if a bit dewy/wet. Have him supporting in ruck if needed. Him or Zaine to go forward. We can do it with Lew Young too. Either or I gues.

BTW JT got some love from Gia in scratch match review.

“Jackson Trengove’s form has been solid, when it’s quite difficult playing in a four-man back-line and there’s a lot of space to defend."

Not a lot of detail, but probably all we can get.

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns

Based on the scratch match,Lloyd will come in

Re: Always Right Match Committee thread Rd 8 vs Gold Coast Suns

Having watched the game a second time, I am at loss to understand why Cordy and Dale feature so prominently. They both were responsible for a good deal of heavy lifting, and team play during the game. Its not all about the stats.
