Emergencies are Bedford, Sparrow, Weideman and J Smith (i.e. Sparrow, last week's medi-sub, is "out").

I like it, I like it a lot ?

[titan_uranus 25,043]

Dogs have gone tall, bringing in Schache to play alongside Bruce and Ugle-Hagan (and Naughton, of course).

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,938]

Dogs going all of Naughton, Bruce, Ugle-Hagen and Shache.

Looks potent on paper, if the latter 2 snags some goals along with Naughton and Bruce.

Trying to stretch May, Lever & Petty. Could backfire if wet.

Interesting call given it is likely to be a wet night

[loges 6,767]

Going to be wet

[brendan 3,437]

Dogs clearly want 1 on 1 in our backline to stop lever intercepting, expect shache to try and play a negating roll on lever

English too.

I wonder whether this is a ruck issue - they don't want to be too small when Bruce is in the ruck giving English a rest, so they want to ensure that at any time they have Naughton, Ugle-Hagan and one of Bruce/Schache forward to keep May and Lever honest.

And our weakness down back is covering mid size and small forwards

More fool them. Lever prefers summer rolls

[Jaded No More 68,972]

Interesting calls all around. 
Don’t know that Vanders did much wrong and Harmes is in luke warm form at best. But he’s more attacking which we need as I think Viney makes us too defensive. 
 

[demonique 314]

Harmes on Libber

[GCDee 3,199]

Schache lol.

Vanders didn’t do a lot wrong, but he is way to slow. And his disposal isn’t great. Harmes is an upgrade. Reckon that’s all.

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Happy to see Harmes back, but disappointed to lose AVB

Was far from our worst last weekend.

Weather is wet and windy, the nemesis of a tall forward line... bad call by Bevo i reckon unless he thinks we are playing under the closed roof of Marvel Stadium.

[Gorgoroth 13,016]

Shache in screams late out. Although Jamarra is good at ground level.

It is the blueprint to beat us, so not surprised at all. Just have to ensure that the midfield brings an extra level of defensive intensity and sustains it for 4 quarters.

Advantage us.

[GCDee 3,199]

Bevo still having nightmares of may and Lever obviously. 

Hilarious selections.

This his to be the reason, Bevo is out of his mind if he thinks that could work on a wet MCG
