English stays in, Bruce brought back, Johannisen too.

[adonski 13,062]

Controversial 

[Radar Detector 1,347]

Will be a tough game, good to have stability.

If Preuss can hold his own against Grundy last week, then I'll back him in to do the same against English.

Bruce doesn't worry me at all, although he has that 'Kent Kinglsey' vibe about him.

Johannisen will give them some dash, so he is the pick of their 'ins'.

Love the fact we made no change and I think, on paper, that we should be knocking them off by 3-4 goals.

[CHF 2,817]

Good selection. Looking at the emergencies, it shows me that we have a very fit list at the moment with a lot of depth. Any of those four could have been slotted in and there would be little argument.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,364]

Crozier is also a pretty good in for them.

That’s fine, good to test ourselves against a full strength side. To borrow a modern footy term - football audit.

Doggies close to full strength, looking pretty solid across all lines.

[binman 44,723]

I really like it. No change is a great sign.

[DubDee 26,412]

A credit to the club to have the list in such great shape after 3 months off and then all the short turnarounds 

most teams making 3+ changes

TMac is a little lucky ... hope he hits the game hard and successfully.

[Bravo Oliver, Bravo 182]

No change  ..  really happy with that

[FritschyBusiness 1,478]

Both teams at almost full strength, I am so keen for this clash
 

[DubDee 26,412]

The Dogs team is strong enough. Good midfield   Solid down back

not that confident for this one

[Pates 9,689]

What was the question mark on English? Any way we can exploit it?

I felt that Preuss held his own against Grundy (with Grundy clearly the classier player) so hopefully that may give him some confidence going into this match. 

Settled teams are usually good teams, happy to take the same group from the Pies game. I feel like we win this week finals are well and truly in sight, and we can push further up the ladder. A loss and we’re back to the pack again, back to fighting.

I thought he was starting to gain a little confidence over the last couple of weeks, he’s getting to more contests and bringing it to ground he just isn’t clunking marks. His hands just don’t seem to being coming up in a confident way, it’s more like he’s swatting. 

But through his contested work we got a few goals last week, steps ahead.

Bruce in worries me.. he kicked 4 last year when he played us and ragdolled Omac.. how will Lever go one on one.

That's some handy ins for them. Crozier and Johannison are good inclusions also.

Unfortunately not as confident.

Preuss just has to brutalise English 

[Deeoldfart 8,165]

I love it!  Both teams at near full strength.  Should be a good contest and go some way towards sorting the real contenders from the pretenders.  I think we are the former!

Tomlinson will get Bruce

Preuss to give football an English lesson.

English is ripe for an old fashioned Preussing.

[Garbo 1,559]

English likes to drift fwd to create a miss match , something to keep an eye on

The main area exposed last week v Grundy was the pies ease at getting it out of the centre clearance, if Preuss can halve that this week we should be fine
