Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 20

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Jamar keeps getting named?

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

My, slightly autistic, bulldogs mad mate sent me this when i asked his thoughts. He has been spot on every time with his "analysis" in the past:

Beveridge throwing darts at the team list again like last time. We've upgraded a bloke who hasn't played a game in 3 years and has an average record at VFL level. Last week we were missing 7 of our best 22 and looked like superstars so who knows. Dees underrated again though but you'd think at Etihad the Dogs have the advantage. Money on the line for the Dees would be a good bet. Watched the Dees/North game and didn't think the final score was a very good reflection at all.

Also, no Roughead or Roberts back yet so Hogan will kick 5+ playing on 3rd string KPD Talia like he did last time.. Can't see Hamling playing on him and think he might be a bit quick/tall for Morris. Talia's probably the only guy not pulling his weight in our team at the moment but injuries have kept him in. Jamar, Salem, Stretch some pretty handy in's for Melbourne. Also sounds like a line up of James Bond villains.

I think your mate is spot on.

Mitchie should play the rest of the season with Toumpas in the two's

It should the other way around.

They're both bog slow but Toumpas is more creative when he gets the pill.

Mark Jamar farewell game??

they won't make it, they have already been overtaken by all 6 1st year players

Mark Jamar farewell game??

I would have thought too early for that. He will def get one tho, has been a great servent of the club through probably one of the toughest periods.

This hurt my brain

Really respect the great Russian. He was always filthy when we lost - fantastic clubman and a future ruck coach.

Stef Martin rates his influence on his development highly.

i respect the russian......but why future ruck coach?

i don't want gawn being taught to knock the ball onto his shoe laces

[Little Goffy 14,661]

I'm strangely keen for this game. Rationally of course it is possible to point to round 8 and say 'of course it is possible'.

But what I'm having fun thinking is "this is a great chance to win two in a row".

By winning the 'second' of two in a row before the 'first', we can break the cycle.

Similarly, this won't be the first time we win at Etihad, but the temporally reversed last of our run of Etihad wins which are yet to come.

I was out in the sun a bit today.

The best players don't always make the best coaches. He has got a good football brain, communicates well and is really rated by his peers as someone from whom they have learned a lot. I've heard Stef say it more than once.

Just on our record v the bulldogs am pretty sure we've also beaten the dogs at docklands in 2001 (rd 22) and 2005 (rd 2) - I remember going both games, unfortunately the former was the last time we saw the wiz in the red and the blue if I remember correctly ....

[SaberFang 7,151]

We're due for a win. Our last 5 weeks: L W L W L

[McQueen 17,867]

Infallible logic.

[monoccular 17,594]

we are fairly tall and they are small. Could work in either favour.

well, at least we know it won't rain.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Infallible logic.

In a peverse way it has some merit though...

---> regain respect and prove themselves... disappoint everyone again.. repeat -->

Your logic is impeccable. Stuff the kid's university funds, I'm sticking the lot on the Dees to win.

[What 18,810]

Every time i get a rush of excitement about a win this week I soon remember the game is at Shitihad stadium

Annoying

In another part of infallible logic, we never win on the rare occasions when Garry Lyon tips us. True to form, he has tipped against us this round giving us a strong chance!

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

we can't lose this week, the more you bet the more you win

[chook fowler 19,585]

If Dawes can maintain last weeks form our forward line could be a handful for the Doggies backs who are suspect against tall power forwards.

Apparently has requested a trade back to Vic also...

Totally irrelevant but Id like to know how many games weve actually won there since its inception.....
