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.

    • Shocked 1

    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?

    Here we go, Tommo!

    I will be rooting for him.

    Like that forward line as listed.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
