*3rd game off a six day break in a row
*No Lloyd and replacements all injured
*Loss of another runner (Jetta)

Realistically, we have got massive hurdles in front of us to even stay in touch with the Doggies tonight.

Just go easy on the guys and know that this is probably (hopefully) going to be our lowest point in terms of manpower and fitness for the season.

They will all make mistakes but please bear the above in mind before being overly critical.

That said I will still be cheering them on.

Go Bombers (Dons :D)

Is expecting us to win by 100 points too much then? :D:D

The tone of the coach this week is defensive. Goal fest not likely.

Anything less than 100% commitment from every player and I'll be pissed.

We need to go in hard, tackle and harass for 4 quarters. We can win this if we do that and that's what I expect.

Players should lift their game to cover for the others. In the gun for me are Laycock, Dyson, Watson, McPhee.

Laycock the laggard needs to make a big announcement tonight - " I have arrived !

But Pears is playing I cant wait :D. Hope he gets the job on BJ and Ryder can play in the ruck/rotate into forward line:thumbsu::thumbsu:

For one week it probably plays in your favor. Because your guys know how their forward line will be set up.

And our guy's wont have any friggin idea.

Unfortunately the art of surprise is a good weapon for 1 week, whether it remains effective the one after or even after half time is another matter.

I think our back guy's struggle against small forwards a bit.

If we dont respect you, we will get hurt.

The Paddy Ryder miss probably cost us but I'm very proud with how they played tonight.

Enourmous.....

Rama missing when he was tired and could have ran it in didn't help either.

Can't fault them though, they were out on their feet. Interchange, poor first quarter, and a failure to make the gap as big as we could have in the second and thrid cost us the win.

Good signs though.

Or the mark that wasn't paid to McPhee just before all the injuries. Could have been 16 points up at that stage. :mad:

Yeah that was no good. Umpiring pissed me off again tonight, but I think it was reasonably balanced overall.
