Surely, the temperature will drop by the time the game starts🙄

 
 

Can't believe some of the above posts.

People actually go to the footy and don't drink booze!!!

I just opened a Shiraz to help recover from the shock.

    Predicted to be between 27-30 at bounce time.

    Those hot sessions out at Casey over summer May just come in handy

    Lucky the numbers are big on that team sheet.

    Bulldogs have named their 4 head monster in the starting 22.

    But their bench looks very pedestrian:  J.Johannisen 39 J.Bruce 17 O.Baker 13 M.Hannan 29  

    Their sub from listed emergencies:  B.Khamis 24 H.Crozier 9 T.McLean 16 J.Sweet 41  unless Beveridge does one of his last minute switcheroos!

    Gee whiz Tomlinson. Last I saw he couldn't turn, jump or push. Naughton will have an absolute field day. 

    Disappointing they didn't go D Turner.

    So Tommo in… ok then. What are the matchups given Doggies are playing 4 talls? 

    You could have lined Turner up on Darcy, kids played like 2 games. 

    Petty takes JUH

    Tommo Naughton 

    Lever to Darcy

    Gawndy on Lobb

    We really need to dominate midfield and not allow clean clearances to the Doggies otherwise it will be a goal fest. 
     

    Also read May has a hammy not a calf. did anyone else see that?

    Is it still four on the bench plus the sub or three plus the sub this year?

    4+1

    Here we go, Tommo!

    I will be rooting for him.

    Like that forward line as listed.

    Not sure about that selection or the reasoning but will love to be proven wrong

    Really not a fan of Tomlinson here but if Baker is in their 22 their depth must be struggling

    Thanks.  I guess Jordon would be the favourite for the sub position.

    Lever trying to reach Darcy's hands, Tomlinson trying to keep up with Naughtons acceleration off the mark, Gawndy on Lobb while potentially losing him at the defence ruck contest with anyone from WB potentially in the ruck, English floating Forward to cause mayhem. If we lose, it will be because of confusion! And if we win it might also be because of confusion :laugh:

    Bulldogs love pace. That’s how they beat us at Docklands last year.  I think they see us as beatable again with forwards and pace.  Tough one with 4 of our best 12 players.

    I’m going for this outcome, D17. ❤️💙

    Love the optimisim, but I'm sitting here staring at the team line-up just announced and  heroic will be the word for sure defensive-wise if we get up.

    It won't be for lack of trying though.   Trac and Clarrie will see to that.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
