Prediction Changes - Round 14 vs Saints

[maddog37]

Jones is cooked.

He and Duryea are in the same boat...they both cough up easy goals in live play.

We just need to hope for an Indian summer of good form at the right time essentially.

Same as we got from Fletch and Hamling.

Been mentioned several times as a possible in, but what number does the inanimate carbon rod wear?

Also Busslinger's biggest issue is a hairstyle like an extra from Easy Rider. I know for a F.A.C.T. Bevo hates that movie.

Sellwood in the same boat. Get a hair restyle fellas... or remain in Bevo's bad books. Bevo's a "Mel Gibson mullet in LW1" guy.

The rod has been wearing number 2 - its current owner is about as useful as the rod, so its only fair

Hi all, just checking if we still want Gardner in this week? Or have we all had a change of heart ?

Just on the matter weather or not if we want Gardner or not with all honesty no i don't i dont think Gardner is no longer an AFL player stantards in my opinion i think busslinger is my kind of player that can really feel his gap

I find the last three words of this post rather disturbing.

 

[Zeno The Great]

Do we know if Sam is a definite in. It will a bit of Deja Vu the last time he played was against the saints. I expect to win in fact the supporters demand a win Bulldogs Bigfooty will explode if we lose. Just get the feeling the saints would have learnt a lot from last time and it is not going to be a walk in the park, they are capable of an upset on their day.

 

[AFDogs]

OUT: Gards, McNeill

IN: JJ (play him forward?), Buss

Got through training fine yesterday. Aslong as he doesn't pull up sore he will be in.

Do we need to find a defensive tagger for star opposition mids like the dees did with Langdon on Daicos yesterday. I know Bevo does not normally tag but it is food for thought. The three I would consider are Poulter, Baker and Bramble.

How effective was it really though? Langdon is usually a pretty reliable contributor. They lost that contribution, lost the match whilst Nick still had a pretty respectable game in the end.

If you could pluck a player who doesn’t usually contribute a whole heap (like the ones you’ve mentioned) then I’d be all for it, but I thought it was weird to give up one of your running weapons only to sort of stifle the effectiveness of the oppos best player.

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

I'd trial Treloar off half back. I think we're ok for mids and with JJ missing and Bramble completely out of form, we don't have a lot of run out of the backline

Is JJ missing again? Wasn’t it illness?

 

[Relic Dog]

i have a bad feeling in my gut .....hope its what i cooked for lunch and not the team selection tomorrow

Harmes out

 

[Doggies7]

Damn Harmes out and JJ still unavailable are pretty big outs for us, two senior players who are important to our structure. Harmes especially has been really solid this year, hopefully back next week.

 

[Doggies7]

I wonder if Treloar will get a bit of wing time this week? Probably depends how good the fitness base is currently.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Harmes out opens the door for Hynes, you’d imagine.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Harmes concussion and JJ still out perhaps saves a few.

Harmes - Hynes
Gardner - Darcy

Dolan to start. McNeil to sub

I feel this is most likely aswell.
I'd prefer McNeil out obviously but unless we shuffle the magnets and debut Jaques or move Khamis back and bring in Poulter as the third tall up forward it looks unlikely.

Personally I'd look at trialling Gallagher as a small forward likely at VFL level first. Our lack of capable options there + the lack of clear role for Gags has me thinking it'd be worth a trial atleast for this year while Weightman is out.

At what point is Poulter not just another Gardner? Tear it up in the VFL, fail to reproduce that form in the AFL.
