Prediction Changes v Bombers (Sat 17 May, 7:35pm @ Marvel)

[Mojorisin]

Vandermeer is a test. Will probably play.

I'm thinking VDM and Treloar both come back for the Geelong game. Very unlikely to be risked on a short turnaround.

Maybe but I've seen this script before with VDM

Tough to risk them both in the same game considering Treloar's troubles and Vanders getting subbed off every 2nd game.

I just had a look at what seats are available in the member’s section Lev 1 and almost all the seats that are usually spare in my area have gone. I’m betting most of the people who’ve bought those seats will be wearing red & black. Especially the middle aged slightly overweight guys in Bombers jumpers. Had a few problems the last couple of seasons with opposition supporters turning nasty.

I thought the club had at least changed those tickets to be on sold to Bulldogs members only, or as a priority?

Spoke to VDM last week and he is itching at the bit for next week's game. I personally wouldn't want any risk of him missing that game, will be good theatre as they say.

Looks like Luke Kennedy is playing his first game this weekend

When was the last time a father and son played in the same AFL side? I'm sure Matthew will be so proud to run out with his son Luke.

Aside from anything else, fresh legs at this point in the season can't be a bad thing.

These are seats that are always available for sale, so I’d say no Dog’s members have them reserved. I also wouldn’t hold my breath on them being available to Dog’s members only, I reckon that was a bit of lip service. There’s nothing to stop anyone buying them.
They’re selling for $118 for an adult at the moment ($109 on Monday) so I think clubs would be more than happy to take anyone’s money. This is the AFL after all.
I’ll prepare myself to have lots of “them” around me on Saturday night.

I think the biggest danger of losing this game is that it follows the Darwin game. Bevo will have the mind ready like he has done all season just hope the bodies are ready. We will be having the lightest of weeks on the track.

Good news … has it been announced yet ?

Not yet
Friend was down at the club today and mentioned everyone getting around him

 

[Libbaaaa]

Can't find any mention of this being a fully ticketed event yet you can't buy general admin on the website?

I have GA with my membership and have tickets

My mate was trying to buy GA and the button is just blanked out.

 

[Wetdog]

Libba can rest when we have a bye. He was phenomenal - we need to win these games.

Bloke gets better and better with age

He’s a real life Benjamin Button

Could he make 300 games? Would be an epic effort. What is he on now?

243. Would have to play the next few seasons without missing more than a few games.

Could easily happen. Footballers are like racehorses, the bloodlines can tell you plenty.

Plough famously thought Libba Snr was done as a 30yo (as seen in Year Of The Dogs).

Tough bugger had 6 good years left in him and was still going hard at 36.

Only Alby Morrison and Ted Whitten pulled on the jumper any older.

Tom has Tony's heart and a more AFL suitable body, anything is possible.

Cannot be a ticketed game. I surprised GA sold out probably get round 45,000 being dogs home game. If it was bombers home game it would be ticketed and round 50,000. Hope everyone can there we have been starved of Melbourne based games recently. GWS Canberra, Ballarat limited capacity, GC Darwin. Think it is a bad fixture for the continuity of bulldogs supporters wanting to go to games.

Note the game times and venues to be confirmed this week for rounds 18 to 24. I am lead to believe zero chance of the round 18 clash against the crows at Ballarat be moved.

Interesting. I’d just heard it had been moved from Ballarat to Marvel

Should've stuck with your username mate.

Still nothing about Luke Kennedy making his AFL debut

Yeap happy to be wrong people power have won out. mm i did email Ameet prior to the Port asking this game to be moved and quick reply from him saying there was a lot to balance in moving the game. Subsequent to that there was a report in HS saying it would not be moved. I think that it is more than likely this will a clash between to finals bound team and possibly a top 4 decider got it over the line. Now so many more supporters can go the game.

Because he isn’t
