Bombay Airconditioning

Not just Victoria is affected.

It’s not ideal.

Well I’m due for lie down then….

Just to clarify is Jordan the sub? I’m reading medi sub is named on the day?

My shirt arrived….

No change? No Hunt?

I’m sick of hearing about Caleb Bloody Daniel. Yes he has great vision and awareness, yes he’s a reliable kick, but he’s a reliable 11 metre kick. Most of kicks don’t go the required 15 metres, and I personally don’t see him as damaging as some of the other back flankers. Im also sick of hearing that the Dogs have the best midfield, on Saturday there’s a couple of slackers that go by the names of Oliver, Trac and Viney who I think will put this myth to rest.

If you were starting a team tomorrow would Wines be in your first 5 players picked?

I remember wanting Ben Brown before he signed his last contract with North. Not only a great contested mark and accurate set shot, he’s also a smart player who more often than not disposes the ball to the advantage of his team mate. Just spent the last 20 minutes watching some of his highlights, he is a weapon in our arsenal that the Bulldogs will have to watch.

I get both sides, but do we honestly think that if a player doesn’t play on the day regardless of his input throughout the season that it will feel the same to him?

List is in such good shape, just need the flag/s to confirm it.

Nathan Jones will forever be part of the fabric of our great club, loyal and selfless to the end, respected by all. Thanks for the memories Chunk.

It is but I think with our ball movement our forwards can expose their defence and some of our fwds could have a day out.

The umpiring during our prelim was pretty good, I can only hope that this continues. The umpires should be well aware of this as well as their 10 metres kicks.

Would love for Brown to kick a bag.

Kosi.

I’m pumped, I still remember waking the house up when he kicked the ball over his head against West Coast in 2018. (I think it was 2018….) Some of his performances during the opening rounds of this season were massive and helped pave the way for where we find ourselves next weekend.

Not sure if this is still the case but the 16 clubs that don’t make the GF are normally given 1000 tickets each (this may be less due to size of Optus). A friend of mine a few years back bought 2 tickets for $2000 from Collingwood. It also had entry to the GF breakfast. Considering tickets are worth $450 for priority 1 members it’s worth it in my opinion for what could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I’m heartbroken, 17 year consecutive Redleg member and I’m stuck in bloody Sydney. A good Irish mate of mine just logged in to secure himself a ticket, he’ll be wearing Red & Blue and cheering us on, he also went to the prelim.

In NSW you can get between $300 - $800 for lagging on someone.

For me it’s as simple as both teams have great system driven game plans, Dogs have some genuine gun players, we have genuine guns on every line. If we come to play we should get the win.

Some of these comments….Suddenly people are jumping of Melbourne. The Dogs beat the Bombers who haven’t won a final in however many day, the Lions with an intentional rushed behind, and they flogged Port, a team which struggled in big games for most of the year and choked in a home prelim last year. Our team has made changes with our fwd line through out the season but now we are now playing with a synergy that will deliver us the premiership. Our defence is the best in the league, all of our fwds are genuine weapons and have all had games where they have kicked multiple goals. We have the no.1 ruckman in the comp, Gawn had a career best game against Geelong, Jackson is a freak, I’ll back Oliver, Trac and Viney against Macrae, Bont and Libba any day. I’m sick of hearing about Caleb Daniel, yes he has good vision and uses the ball well but the majority of his kicks to me seem to be barely 15 metres. I was nervous last week but I was adamant if we win the prelim we’ll win the flag and that hasn’t changed for me. We need to tighten right up defensively and not be caught just guarding space allowing the Dogs to pick their way through. This is our year, the Mighty Demons will be bringing the Premiership home.

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.

Again just highlights how important mindset is.
