Match Committee - Round 16 vs Geelong

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 16 game against Geelong at Simonds Stadium?

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

Bloody hell, Geelong at Simonds. Tough ask, Roughy, Grant, Tutty, Griffen & Cooney hopefully in the frame.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Geelong

Really depends on who comes up this week, but:

Out: Jones
In: Redpath

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Geelong

I thought the young 'uns all played well and deserved to keep their spot unless one of Griffen & Roughie or Grant make an extraordinary recovery. I agree with Gogriff - give Redpath a go - tough initiation though. I've got a feeling Campbell might get a gig in place of Jones and that'd be OK too.

In. Campbell
Out. Jones
A bit of magic from Bontempelli and the subbing of Jones got us over the line. Big Will was thrashed by Jamar in the hitouts and once again it highlights the stupidity of playing one ruckman.
Campbell was again BOG yesterday in the VFL

Bringing Campbell in is trying to solve 2 problems with one bloke, who will spend 70% of his time in a role he hasn't been successful in.

Fletcher Roberts did a much better job in the ruck after Jones was subbed off

In - Campbell, Grant
Out - Jones, Honeychurch

Don't like only giving a kid a single game but we need Grant in the side and someone has to make way for him.

Will desperately needs some help and we need to start giving Campbell some games as he's earned them. The good sides have two rucks and we're exposed when we don't have Will performing well or taking a rest.

Jones was disappointing today. Managed three tackles but just couldn't get his hands on the ball and needs to go back and find some touch.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Geelong

Asuming none of the players missing through injury are available

In- Campbell, Redpath

Out- Minson, Jones

Jones has been terrible 2 weeks in a row, it's time to give Redpath a go. Minson is getting slaughtered every week, it's time to move on and see where Campbell can take us. Roberts to pinch hit in the ruck.

Roberts isn't a ruckman, Campbell is a ruckman. There is a big difference. Don't get me wrong I like Fletcher Roberts in the team but not as a make shift ruck man.

Would like to see if any of our injured players are available. But I think Jones is on very thin ice.

I reckon that was his worst today. I think he's got the talent there but it's starting to become a real worry.

Yes I am a fan of his and would love him to be more consistent but he needs a stint in the ressies

I thought Minson was actually quite good today, competing against Jamar and Gawn who are both big-bodied ruckmen who were wrestling and exhausting him all day. Still think he and Campbell can be an effective tag-team, so I would like to see Campbell come in for Jones.

Bottom few players today were probably Jones, Hrovat (was good when he came on), Honeychurch, Crameri. If Griff, Grant, Roughy all come up this week there will be a few unlucky players. Would be happy to see Cooney come back through Footscray when he's ready.

Re: Match Committee - Round 16 vs Geelong

I think we should look at the Geelong game and just use it as a "blood kids game"

We can't win so rest anyone (Will) and play the young ones.

Don't bring back Griff, Coons or anyone else that is nit 110% fit.

Look to the week after IMO

Why the hell not?

Jones out for Redpath, but I really want Roughie back if he's fit, will need him sorely.
