Changes v Bulldogs

Being such a young list, they have to drop off sooner or later.

I hope so, but....

They're as ferocious as Port were this time last year.

Ye but that was after Port went through their crap phase. Bulldogs haven't done that yet.

 

Call me crazy but i reckon we'll win this week. We have been competitive against the bullies in the last couple of years and our defensive systems should hold up and help negate their run. They won't smash us in the centre like the Roos, they don't have a player like Brown who stretches our defense for a match up and if we bring our top shelf intensity we can beat them in the stoppages. And we have Hogan who scarily for opposition teams is yet to have his break out game.

Call it the vibe but the dees by 23 for my money.

Like the vibe binman. Hogan and Dawes in form. If Maxy gives our midfield first use we may just cause an upset. Shame vandenBerg is missing.

You're crazy. Hogan has had plenty of break out games, he hasn't kicked 8 yet due to lack of service and that will continue. Either Dunn or McDonald should stop Redpath but Stringer, Crameri and Dickson are a super trio.

We were too strong from them at the G but the indoor Etihad conditions will see them run all over us as they have many better sides than us. Our forward line sucks at ball retention, our backline just doesn't get the ball out with speed or skill and our inside mids might be accountable but Shaun Higgins was the latest in a long line of outside types to run all over us.

If we can find this bloke and see whether he can leave the roof open we might be some chance

aD2rZZQ.jpg

B Howe, Dunn, Jetta
HB Lumumba, Garland, Grimes
C Watts, Vince, Salem
HF M Jones, Hogan, Harmes
F T McDonald, Dawes, Garlett
Fol Gawn, Viney, N Jones
Int Tyson, Cross, Neal-Bullen, Brayshaw (sub)

In: Salem
Out: Michie

• I wouldn’t make significant changes. While I would like to give Michie one more chance, I couldn’t find anyone else to drop for Salem.
• Brayshaw could do with a rest but I would rather start him as the sub.
• I would think about trying McDonald forward again, although he might be required to play on Redpath.
• M Jones to take Murphy.

I hope so, but....

Interesting that we matched up well on Port last year as well.

 

Bulldogs are playing a good brand of football to watch but I'm still not totally convinced. They've had a very soft draw and I don't think they've played a top 8 team since about round 7.

Minimal changes, Salem is an obvious in. Michie out.

I don't think you're the slightest bit crazy. We beat them by a comfortable 39 points 11 weeks ago - and although we had Vandenburg in then, we didn't have Tyson, Dawes, Jetta, Gawn, Viney or Salem. Last week we played a dominant half against a good side and we had the flu. Dees by 20.

Battling Etihad hoodoo too.....

No chance.

you ignore my 3 excellent points in order to be negative and talk about a superstition

whatever

Sunday bloody Sunday. When did we last seriously challenge with an extra day against not Brisbane? WB. That's who. Excellence.

Edited by Skuit

Pig Dog's form recently could warrant a recall, but for him that form doesn't translate when he plays seniors. JKH also played well, but needs more consistency at that level before we even think about bringing him in. Has been sorely disappointing this year when fit.

Salem to come in for Michie is my bet.

Two changes

Out: Grimes ( forever) Michie

Inns: Pig Dog and either Salem, Newton or JKH

I reckon jesse is due for a massive day hogan to kick 7 garlett 5 and vince 46 touches dees by 42

Actually, I wasn't replying to your post....

Anyhoo, I just don't think we're at the Bullies' level of performance at this stage.

Stop sooking.

i just get annoyed sometimes with idiotic posts

like ignoring real facts in favour of an apparently cursed venue (it's haunted ooooooh)

obviously you had nothing genuine to say about those facts so you just pretended they weren't there huh

par for the course round here

like I said, 'whatever'

With those stats, I'd expect we'd win by quite a bit more than 42 points.

There are facts for both sides. I think we're definitely a chance, but it's a 'fact' that we haven't won at Etihad for a long, long time. Forget about the hoodoo.

so I suppose you have some tangible explanation as to why we lose there so often apart from pure coincidence

We suck...?

im gonna chime in with my 2 cents worth, I'm usually on the negative side & I'm either all or nothing but i think we are one of the hardest teams for the Footscray game style to play, our win last time was our softest for the season & l'll be backing it up with cold hard $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The tangible explanation is that we lost everywhere & to everyone, it's not just Docklands...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
