Match Committee - Round 22 vs Sydney Swans

[Eastdog]

If you were on the Bulldogs match committee what changes would you make for our round 22 game against Sydney Swans at Etihad?

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

I'm not sure anything can make a difference, but more tall defenders please.

Fletcher Roberts. Even if he's not ready the other option is Austin. Maybe they want Roberts to play in a successful side?

Time to give either Roughy or Austin a spell and bring in Roberts/Talia.

Austin was horrid at times today, by foot, falling over, out positioned. Wasn't playing on a gun either.

Minson is hanging on by the skin of his teeth, too. Campbell is a much better tap ruck man.

Gia is well and truly cooked.

OUT: Austin, Gia, Grant

IN: Roberts, Macrae, Honeychurch

They may as well sit this game out and let their under studies kick a bag each.

Austin on Buddy will be fun to watch.

Re: Match Committee - Round 22 vs Sydney Swans

In- Roberts, Talia, Cordy, Young, Gia

Out- Roughead, Austin, Minson, Grant, Macrae

Roughead looks done for the season. Austin is making is unbalanced by being a key defender sort. Minson is a liability, and Grant shouldn't have got a game.

We're going to get a belting next week, we may as well get belted playing what might be our spine in future.

Re: Match Committee - Round 22 vs Sydney Swans

Really clutching at straws who to bring in.

Six changes is way too many to make but we need to bring in some key defenders and also some players with will get their hands dirty, which will be needed against Sydney.

IN: Cordy, Young, Roberts, Jong, MaCrae, Honeychurch

OUT: Minson, Austin, Higgins, Hunter, Grant, Gia


Minson will most likely be suspended and if not I'd consider bringing Cordy in for him regardless. What else do we have to lose?

Roberts in for Austin

Young in to try and give support to the defence

Jong & Honeychurch to bring in some hardworking defensive pressure - They replace Higgins and Gia.

Was really disappointed with Hunters kick for goal today - should be dropped for that act alone.

MaCrae if fit in for Grant.

Why would you drop Higgins when he was one of our better players? He went off with a shoulder injury, so that may keep him out.

I don't think he uses it well enough - and that is his role. I strongly doubt he will influence the game next week.

His first kick of the game when we had a chance to go inside 50 he turns it over, and then we don't get another chance to score for nearly an entire quarter.
