    Always Right Match Committee Round 7 V Hawthorn

    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 Six match against Fremantle for our Round Seven match against Hawthorn at Marvel stadium on Saturday?

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

    Just the one change,

    McNeil in for McLean.

    McLean has lost three yards of pace and McNeil has pace and I really look forward to a forward line of McNeil, Jones and Weightman.

    Hopefully Smith can get some more miles in the legs and come in the week after.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      McNeil has great biceps too.

        McNeil can find the ball in the forward line and has good tackling pressure. He just needs to improve his kicking. His only 21 years of age.
        His worth investing games into

        So his worth investing games into , to build a calibre of crumbing forwards in Jones, Weightman and McNeil. If they kick 20-30 goals a year when they mature, it be a great forward line .

        I like Arty's work rate today up the ground. He managed to find the ball and not get caught holding the ball.

          One think I like about McNeil is it feels like he has more scope for improvement over some other recent rookies being a young'un.

            Hope they all pull up well. No change but start with McNeil. Toby as the sub

            We are a much better side with Bruce not in it. Sorry to say as I love him but he isn?t a Key back and. The backs looked so in sync last night.
            BB.

            Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

              Keath did quite a few Keath things.

              I’d look to bring in Gardner if ready for him.

              The McNeil for McLean change makes sense too.
              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                And the top he was wearing for the first three quarters looked so much better than the one the other 22 had.

                  Same changes for me.

                  Keath fought back really well in the third term but he was a liability before half time. I don't think you can make those kinds mistakes while a very capable Gardner is playing in the twos.

                    See how Gardner goes today before I think about him coming in.

                    VDM maybe another to consider after today.

                      Is Barry fit? Think he'd come straight in if so, probably for McLean.

                      I’d swap McNeil and Arty too.

                        I like these changes.

                        I love what Arty brings, but time for a spell.

                          There's no scenario in which Smith doesn't come in if fit.

                          Does anyone know if JJ and Libba have any ongoing concerns?
                          TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                            I did read somewhere last night they were fine. I'm still in disbelief that Libba didn't get a free kick in that incident.

                              Crunched. I was very surprised too
