North Melbourne vs. Western Bulldogs

Can't wait for this, gotta work during the game though

Being in the ACT, we get the joys of GWS v Carlton instead.
Ah, well, I need to do some cleaning before a rental inspection during the week.

 

[HBF]

Should be the game of the week this one.
Less than a goal in it.

 

[Abomination]

How much of a factor will Goldstein really be when the Bulldogs are so fast at converting?

I reckon they'll bounce back strongly after last week's embarrassment.

 

[Greater Gattsby]

It'll be a very high scoring game. Both back lines aren't the greatest, whilst both forward lines can get quick goals.

Going to be a battle of the midfields. Both teams love the contested ball, but the team who makes use of the space on the wings will win.

 

[bkozican]

Possibly the game of the round.

My Bulldog supporting friends had a domestic this morning and aren't going as a result.

An excellent omen.

 

[Adz]

The dogs. Comfortably.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

My concern is with the travel back from Perth. Unfortunately, we haven't dealt with the next week well. Collapsed against the Saints, lackluster against Geelong. Lucky the Port game had a bye after it. Hopefully resting a few helps this time.

 

[HBF]

North for me.
Not sure why. Just have a gut feeling.

I really shouldn't laugh at them having a bad fight but god this post is hilarious.

Info on the fight? Fisticuffs?

North Melbourne by seven or eight goals.

 

[Langa]

Roos will get the chocolates. Doggies are a beast at Etihad but Roos have had their measure in recent years albeit a different doggies side now. Kangas to make it 8 straight.

Z Cordy the sub, no Tom Boyd. Weird decisions all round.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Bulldogs to show that Norf are just big overrated pretenders.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I don't understand how the dogs are $2.30

 

[The 747]

Reckon the Dogs will cut em up today

 

[nowhereneargeelong]

North are rubbish.

Dogs by 33

 

[King_Steele]

Go Dogs.

 

[HTPunter]

Should hopefully be a good game. Just got to ensure we don't let them get the fast start - the Dogs capable of blowing it out of the water early. If we can keep with them, should have enough in the tank to work to the 4 points late. First half crucial.

Should be an interesting North backline v Dogs forward line match up. Very different forward line to the one's that usually cut us up (multiple big talls), Stringer/Dickson/Crameri is very short, as I think Roughead will have to play down back, Redpath in the ruck? Thompson, Hansen, Tarrant, Firrito will have their work cut out for them once the ball hits the deck, especially adding in Dahlhaus, Honeychurch etc...should be good challenge for us.

Come on doggies

But you don't tip against a team who has won 7 in a row.

 

[Super Hans]

We've made some really weird decisions. Hard to see how Goldy and their forwards aren't going to dominate.

Our running defenders (Wood, Boyd, JJ, Murph) are going to have to play really well for us to win.
