Match Committee- Round 11 vs Fremantle

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 11 game against Fremantle at Etihad?

As always a brief explanation for your changes would add a lot of value to the discussion.

5 changes last week so I expect we would need 5 more this week

Couldn't be any worse. This is 0/10 stuff.

Would Redpath be a chance. Final year as a rookie would it hurt to give him some games?

Is that for Dickson (LTIL) GMo?

Yep. We've got a chance to try him out. Roll out Austin again or even give Greenwood a shot. I'd try Redpath out of them all.

Roll the dice... I tend to agree.

If we play Redpath we need to give him five games in a row, as long as he does the defensive things he should. Which I understand has been a knock on him in the past.

In/ Hrovat, Grant, Redpath
Out/ Goodes, Bonti, Stevens

Harsh on Bonti. Great talent just a bit raw/not ready. Think VFL is best for his development anyway.

Would also look at trying to bring in JJ, possibly for Stringer but bit harsh to drop a guy who is playing out of position.

Re: Match Committee- Round 11 vs Fremantle

OK I'll give it a shot (If nothing but to get the thread off and going)

Out; Goodes, Stevens & Stringer

Goodes - I think the game has gone past you now
Stevens - You just don't have enough skill and poor awareness and poor decision making
Stringer - Your not a backman and don't have the tank required to run off 1/2 back.

Ins:
Campbell - we need a guy that takes a mark i the forward 50
Hunter - Need a little sneaky boy in the forward 50 (Murphy didn't work out today)
Hrovat - We need to take the game on and run.

I have been to a few Footscray games this year and he struggles to do that at VFL level.

I actually rate him long term but atm is a massive liability up forward. A massive sacrifice to pay for about 10-15% TOG in the ruck.

I think we need to play Redpath and as suggested above, give him a 4 or 5 week block to show something.

Well I'm of the view that the year is over and think that we have actually gone backwards on last year (even with the injuries we know about) I think against the crows he provided a target and straighten us up a little. When Jones is back I think he would ned to earn the spot but with him up at FF, I think Stew would benefit also
