Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

[Scraggers]

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 One match against Melbourne for our Round Two match against Carlton at Marvel on Thursday.

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

Some minor adjustments or some big changes?

The last quarter will tell us a bit but I think there's a handful who are on very shaky ground.

Schache has to go. His decision making, disposals and marking ability tonight was disgraceful. He looked like a deer in the headlights at times.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Schache was really poor. When he's off he looks like he has 0 attributes that would make him an AFL player.

My early assessment would be:

Schache and VDM out but apart from Naughton, Smith, Treloar, Dale and English I didn't see a lot to get excited about.

Schache and Vanders have to go. I’d also have Libba in the gun if he serves that tripe up again.

Schache needs to play back and stay there. He is not an AFL key forward, however could make it as a solid second / third tall defender.

We lacked a lead up player - JUH must come in.

Hannan, while he didn’t do a huge amount had some brief moments, but it’s probably between him and Hunter for who comes out for JUH.

JJ has to come back in if fit, probably for VDM on tonight’s showing.

So…

In: JUH, JJ
Out: Hannan, VDM

Schache back, Keath or Cordy forward (boos from many here for this call I’m sure).

Do we think it was Covid related? I've got a feeling it was. So unlike him.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Serious Q: was Libba really that bad? Burnt a few balls but plenty of mouths to feed and didn’t think he was terrible. It’s unlikely he plays as well as he has in peak years, and needs to reinvent himself a bit. I wonder if he needs to find a role tagging / Angus BrayshW type role.

Why play him then? I reckon he attended 2 CB’s which is where he excels… and when he was in there he looked slow and went to ground too easily.

He looked like he did in the second half of the GF.

I love Libba but I'm officially worried.

Backline needs to settle. Whoever is there, stay there.

JUH needs to play. Whatever happens, we do not win the flag with that fwd line. Need to play the young man. Could be anything.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Two v Carlton at Marvel

Schache - as i said earlier today, hasn't proved a thing, made too made errors and is soft.
Hannan - taking a spot
Weightman - disappointing, should stop flying for everything
Cordy - not up to it
Hunter is out of form
Libba out of form
Roarke - To me still hasn't proven he is best 22 - makes vital errors
Williams - tries to take on players and refuses to handball

Can't drop them all, but I will come back to this post

Roarke had so many terrible moments with bad turnovers. Really costly ones too. Very poor tonight.

He was horrible.
