Always Right Match Committee Round 23 VS North Melbourne

[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-Two match against Adelaide for our Round Twenty-Three match against North Melbourne at Marvel on Sunday afternoon.

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

Looks good to me

I'm surprised Coffield has stayed in over Freijah. He's been quite poor since his return.

Sold.

I love Libba, but does anyone think he might be dropped or rather managed/rested? I think it’s possibly line ball whether we should drop Libba before Garcia. His effort was there but to my eye Libba looked slower and more fatigued than normal today.

Liberatore was subbed last week with an ankle injury, no surprise he was extra slow.

Why do we play injured players? Bont was too.

Libba can't play for whatever reason on that ground again. He continues to get cut up there. Father time catches up quick and as Hawks/GWS/Swans prove that in today's game you must have pace on the ball. I worry about Ballarat being such a big and wide ground what GWS could do. Still not sold on Garcia though.

And Naughton I reckon.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 VS North Melbourne

I?m in agreement

Freijah, Sanders and Macrae are no brainers, they were stiff to be dropped originally

Enoughs enough with Vandermeer, it?s one thing being a flog but he cant be a fumbly unskilled one, I don?t care how much he runs around like a headless chook. Baker could do this better

Coffield, Khamis, Garcia havent done enough

Agree with this. I’d be inclined to give Garcia another go though.

Going by the presser we might see a few changes for the next game.

I don't want to see an overreaction in the aftermath of this game. The poorest performers were mostly either 'undroppable' players or role players with no pressure for their position coming from Footscray.

Coffield out is a no-brainer. Not sure why he wasn't moved onto Fogarty but if we don't trust him as key defensive backup then I really don't know what he's there to do. He sure as hell isn't any kind of creative with ball in hand.

The guys in line to come in are midfield rotation players, so who are we dropping or shifting to make way for them? Garcia? Richards? West?
