Always Right Match Committee Round 22 v Hawthorn

[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 Twenty-One match against Richmond for our Round Twenty-Two match against Hawthorn at UTAS Stadium on Sunday.

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

Great game to rest a few. Only forced change will be Scott

Out Scott, Poulter rest him as it’s been a big year for him

In Keith and Baker

This is a danger game. Our record in Launceston against hawks is terrible. I’d be very careful of who to rest.

Yep. Finals or not, there’s a rest in 3 games time. If we’re sticking with West, JOD, Poulter & VDM we need to put games into them. Need to build up Lobb too. Hopefully he gets a bag vs WCE and gets super confident into a possible EF. While generally trying to create competition for a possible EF spot.

Wouldn’t mind Williams & Smith hitting their potential in the next little bit too. There’s some more potential here sitting untapped to their full extent.

Moreover, just come to play like last night!

Our forward line will be a nightmare for Hawthorn next week.

We beat them last year when we needed to win to make finals. In 2021 which was the prior time we were there, we need to win to lock down a top four spot. We got smashed. 9.10 to 5.7 (Hawks only won 7 games that season).

The prior three games down there against them have all been losses too. 70 point loss. 62 point loss. 19 point loss.

Our record against Hawthorn at the ground is P7. W2. L5.
