Preview Changes for the Mighty Dogs into the Grand Final

[perro_loco]

Will kick several. The boy can play.

NORM SMITH MEDALLIST!!!

UPDATE: No scans for sore Dee after injury scare at training

An injury to Charlie Spargo saw him leave training on Saturday night but vice-captain Jack Viney says the small forward will be fit for the Grand Final

www.afl.com.au

Charlie Spargo jarred his ankle during training. Had to receive medical attention from Dees staff. Didn’t take any further part, but didn’t have it iced.

Steven May and Joel Smith were just running laps.

They wouldn't show their hand by icing it on the bench if there was concern that would have been done behind closed doors. He should be fine with a week to go

 

[Doggy]

Pretty obvious Melbourne supporters are worried.

It's also why they were cheerleaders for Brisbane and Port.

 

[Angak]

Anyone notice the bruising on the right on the hamstring or my eyes deceiving me? Same one he pulled up on during the game V the cats.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Injury update sounds like VDM is at no concern of missing the GF due to unavailability and should be back into full training at the end of this week.

I still think he will be the unlucky one to make way for Cody and it’ll be decided out of VDM, Scott & Richards for sub. I think Bevo will go for Scott due to the added flexibility.

Id go for the shock and have JUH as the med sub, hopefully its after half time so he is on when the Demons are are little weary and can cash in with a few quick ones.

I think May will play but it’s a big call from the Dees as they have to roll the dice on him. Imagine if he got taken out of the game in the 1st quarter .

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Something just feels off about May. From his comments post the Geelong win (no way in hell I am missing) to no scans being reportedly undertaken either. If Joel Smith is named as sub look out...

He is scared of the Astronaut

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Watching the highlights of the Port game; if VDM is fit he’ll play. Tight call between him & JJ but the latter will probably be the medical sub.

JJ is a better set shot but VDM is in everything and puts the fear into defenders.

He has that Mooroopna mongrel about him

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Agree.

It's strange how little many Melbourne supporters seem to think of us.

The general consensus is "if we stuff this up". Not ''if we win". It's almost like they think the only way they lose is if they make errors

Melbourne supporters have always had NFI about footy

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Yeah because you always train seperately with a corkie. Don't get runnning with stories like that he didn't appear to be banged up in the Prelim.
Still got a full week to recover either way he will be fully fit for the match

Good I don’t want any excuses when we kick their arses!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I was perplexed with the media about our chances of winning against Port, yes we lost our key defender but getting back our ruck made us stronger in the midfield. In the end I was telling myself to get ready for a loss, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that we would win.

Now fast forward to Melbourne I keep telling myself to get ready for a loss, and their are some omens (I saw three land drovers in a row the other day ), I can’t imagine the Dees winning. How is everyone else feeling?

I saw 4 Black Swans and then another group of 6 Black Swans on Lake Hawthorn this morning. It’s a well established scientific fact that if you see 4 and 6 Black Swans on a Lake named after an AFL side and they are the numbers of your Captain and star finals player then your team is definitely winning the GF this week.

Note this only applies if Black Swans are the symbol of the state the GF is being held in!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Does this bye week kill our momentum?

I know Melbourne had had 2 in relative quick succession.

How has our form been after byes in previous years?

I don’t think so, with the quarantine mixed in it’s not too much of a break and off the top of my head I believe our post bye form is excellent

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

In the words of The Bont on RSN “ no point in borrowing problems from the future”

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Steven May sporting a large bruise on the back of his right thigh.

It’s come down his leg from thinking about Naughton

 

[Fossie 32]

Id go for the shock and have JUH as the med sub, hopefully its after half time so he is on when the Demons are are little weary and can cash in with a few quick ones.

My dream scenario would be JUH to play and kick a bag

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I’ve spent the week just thinking about how much is on the line next week.

Win, and Bont is a 2 time premiership player, premiership captain and the talk of him being our best ever player becomes legitimate, all at the age of 25.

Win, Baz and Naughton are premiership players at the age of 20 and 21 with 12+ years careers still to go.

Win, and we get one over Melbourne. I really think it will be our two teams fighting it out over the next few years.

Win, and we’d have to be regarded as one of the most successful teams this century.

Win, and the club gets a massive financial boost. Our finances would essentially be secured for the long term.

Lose, and I have no doubt we will all be saying we will win one over the next 2-3 years. That’s true, but there is no promises. GF’s are hard to get to, even harder to win, so if you get a crack at them, you have to go all out. I’m confident we are in this up to our eyeballs

Win and if anyone on BF talks about sacking Bevo again I will spew up

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

My dream scenario would be JUH to play and kick a bag

Would not surprise me especially after Bevos presser it sounded like he had something up his sleeve

Yeah I am a bit superstitious

We have a ritual in our family, driving in from a regional area for the game, to look for the first bumper sticker of a Bulldog, if it’s the oppositions that’s a really bad omen.

Port Adelaide final, I saw heaps of Doggy stuff in unlikely places so I took that as a good omen.

Oh and whatever you do, don’t wear the oppositions colours, or hum their theme song, that’s bad juju.

Does anyone else have any superstitions, or am I the only nut.

I’m wearing teal today, is that ok?

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

It’s never ok to wear teal

 

[Dog 36]

He is scared of the Astronaut

May was on radio about 2 months ago and was asked who his most difficult opponent is. He’s answer Naughton because he can come into a marking situation from anywhere and his ground level skills and speed are weapons

 

[stefoid]

Anyone larger than a small defender is learning not to take play on if naughton has missile lock.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

The fact you follow me just shows how pathetic you are

You will all be happy to hear in simply over this ceasepool and the collective morons in it.

Have some serious issues outside this hole im concentrating on so keep worrying where I am and what im doing.

Footy is far from a priority at the moment so discuss me all you want

Hope all goes well MD

That’s why he was going to be a great defender …….but that ain’t happening unless JUH, Darcy, Schache and English give us no reason to keep him forward.

Oh you mean normal clothes with oppo colours, thought at first you meant like a Dees jumper
I wore my Chris Grant match worn jumper on the days of all finals in 2016 and every final this year [never any other time as it is sacred] so that brought good luck [have blocked out any finals in between ]
