Petty??

Possibly but Naughton is so much more agile than Petty. The closest we have is Smith imo. 
 

id go:

Smith on Naughton

May on English

Petty on Schache

Hibberd on Weightman

Lever on Hannan 

DOnt ask who I’d drop for Smith though.

So exactly how bad is Keith's hammy? Three weeks puts him back in the frame for GF

Tom Morris just said he will play. Weightman back too.

We need a few Dogs injuries to good players.

So I take it you are not following Ange and his Celtics?

I thought the Celtics were a basketball team based in Boston Maldonboy?

Maybe we could just play 19 on the ground to ensure correct match ups and still enable Lever to intercept

I have severly overestimated Port. I thaught they were tougher than this but are completely peezweak. This is a real choke. 2 best sides to play in grand final.

Gosh the bulldogs are making me feel nervous about the Gf already. They are scarily good and the midfield is going to be a great battle in 2 weeks. 

To be the best you need to beat the second best.

In Round 11 Naughton kicked 1.1 from 14 disposals and 5 marks.

In Round 19 Naughton kicked 2.1 from 9 disposals and 3 marks.

Tonight to half time he has kicked 2.1 from 7 disposals from 6 marks.

In other words: twice this year, we've curtailed him.

Yes. I fear ports rucks and midfield more than dogs.

Hannan 3 goals in a half? This games just in a parallel universe.  We've got this in 2 weeks.

Thinking of the positives, a big win for the doggies will see them go in as favorites for the granny. will take some of the focus and pressure off us

I think a lot of people will still have us as favourites regardless of tonight’s result, Port’s body of work against top 4 sides is still a work in progress. Our premiership drought brings enough of its own pressure.

Awful prelim final weekend for neutrals. Last night was amazing for dees fans and tonight is amazing for dogs fans I'm sure, but how fun could a smashing be to sit through if you're not invested in the winning team?

this is starting to read like a normal nervous gameday thread.

Relax people and enjoy the game.

Reallity is that in the GF we wont be as good as last night and nor will Bulldogs have a run like tonight

A few dogs running into each  causing concussion , can i say that?

Concussion protocols need 2 weeks which would get them back just in time.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
