Always Right Match Committee Round Five v North Melbourne 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 Four match against Richmond for our Round Five match against North Melbourne at Marvel on Good Friday.

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

How many can we drop?

Vandermeer, Butler, Scott, McNeil, Richards, Williams. I'd even send JUH down despite we need him to play. Anyone else I miss? None of these guys (- JUH, Williams) are going to help us at all.

There's not much else on offer we will probably bring in Martin for Butler and Jones for Vandermeer.

Crozier and Khamis for Williams and Butler for starters.

Schache or Bedendo for Wally. How far away is JJ?

Kind of feels like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Five v North Melbourne at Marvel

There are no obvious changes to fix our issues. We are devoid of depth at the moment. We don’t have marking defenders. We don’t have natural crafty forwards. They are our obvious gaps. The midfield is doing enough to win. But we don’t get the easy defensive intercept marks like other teams and we just don’t have the forward line to finish off our hard work.

Unless that connection from mids to forwards miraculously resolves itself, it is going to be a long, long season. Outside of a few unbelievable runs, that lack of connection from midfield to forward line has been a real issue in the Bevo era. It does have a way of clicking if we on prior history, but it looks a mile away at the moment.

Crozier/Buku for Williams

Stef Martin and drop one of the smalls in Scott, McNeil or Weightman

Martin wasn't very noticeable in the VFL. Are you recommending him more on form or balance?
