Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Richmond

[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 Eight match against Hawthorn for our Round Nine match against Richmond at the G on Saturday evening.

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

Going to go early with this


In: Busslinger, Cleary, Freijah, West

Out: JOD, Duryea, Williams, VDM


Those are the three that I would start with. Give Clarke an extended spell in the seniors because Weightman is gone for 8 weeks anyways.

Almost always debutants get games in recent times.

Youth. The season's done, might as well work out if we have a player.

I get the point, but playing at a level he’s not ready for can also be detrimental.

But also who do we play as the specialised small forward with Weightman out? We know McNeil isn't up to it, Jones just doesn't have enough impact with the little he gets, Bedendo has more impact but doesn't get it enough.

I've been hanging on with support for Bevo all this time, but it's time to either walk or get the tap on the shoulder, so many issues with the way we play, set up, game style, it's just sad to see our good players rotting away in a mediocre team.

Clarke was a fish out of water today and throwing his mouth around rather than getting a kick, that's just crap, love his energy and his niggle but maybe wait till he gets a few kicks before running the mouth off, back to the two's, we need poise especially down back and Smokin' Joel brings that in spades, he really deserved a game before Clarke imo but Charlie was rushed in to cover Cody and Westy.

Clarke can?t play after what he showed today.

He didn?t handle the moment. How bad were those grubber miskicks? One resulting in a direct turnover goal.

I felt so bad for the kid. But he needs to go back to the VFL after that.

He's never shown enough to get a gig to be honest, however it was harsh to sub him i thought

It was harsh but it had to be done. No clean disposals and never looked in it. As bad as Baker can be, his kick to English before 3/4 time was not something Clarke would have done tonight.
