Some people never learn. Tipping the Prelim chokers over the reigning premiers? Ha ha.

Bad day at work?
Been fired up the whole thread you have

Not sure what we'll do with the ruck now. Boyd obviously can't do it all night by himself, and I think it was round 1 we went in with just Boyd, but Cloke was his chop out. But now Cloke is injured, and Adams and Roberts will need to stay back, we might see Dunkley or Jong in there.

Holy S**t that's not good.... I wasn't expecting Campbell to beat Mumford anyway but at least he is a recognised ruckman. I think we will get creamed now unfortunately, although Boyd did play well in the prelim when asked to step up but on current form I think not. Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it

It somehow worked in the prelim

Tom Boyd to ruck he whole game, at least he has the tank to run (well I hope he does)

 

[Gavin Excell]

If the umps show up doggies have a chance.

Shattered no Carlton on a Friday night

If we get a game half as good as last years prelim, will be a win for football fans

Thank god no more us on a Friday night this year.

Mumford will make it so hard for him tonight. Boyd will know he's played a game of footy tonight.

Indeed. I'll be impressed if Boyd can keep at it for 4 quarters

Thats pretty poor.
Surely the AFL can't be happy with this.

Well we do get free admission to the show to compensate. Think it's the best option, Spotless is a seriously good little footy ground.

 

[Bokonon_]

Been that way since year 1 and was a condition of government funding so we are all used to it.

Wasnt a fan of Canberra to start but i woke up. Our Capital brothers are just as important to us.

Early days but they seem to be turning out Giants fans tonight.

Now, will we get another dopey reporter asking why Will Minson isn't getting a game?

Are you at the ground?

My day was ok General. There is nothing like a clash against your boys to put the fire in the belly. The prelim final last year was possibly the best game I have ever seen. Regardless of my s**t stirring which is all bluff, I know how good GWS are going to be so a victory against them is like gold.

 

[GreyCrow]

The Giants have been the more convincing side this year. Wouldn't underestimate the Dogs though, I think they'll be primed for this match. However think the Giants win by a few goals.

This is me . Giants by 14 points. I think that's a margin where I can see the Bullies winning

 

[Bokonon_]

Are you at the ground?

Yep
We've just run for the pre warm up. Lot of empty seats still on the oppo side. Bulldogs fans still at the pub maybe. Too early to guess a split.

[Xtreme]

Nope. Still being repaired. Easter Show kills it.

Awaiting Gil to grow a back bone and complain about it!

Will be interesting to see the rough split during the game. Dogs supporters in the past have traveled to Manuka oval. A 14k crowd would be a good result for the ground going by recent figures. Is the ground still showing signs of sand or is it looking lush? Over the last few years there were complaints of excessive sand on the surface

Yeah I just did my tips, had the Giants by 22 pts. Can definitely see the Dogs getting up though. It should be good viewing and really interested to see how both teams perform since the last game they played in the PF last year which was a classic.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

How have the talks of the development of this ground going?

 

[_Mike_]

This is probably going to be a little similar to the Spotless game last year based on our outs and lack of depth.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Why is it in Canberra, is the showground not available?

This was two weeks ago - and after the cows left the precision driving Utes and motorcycles tore it up some more.

takes a while to rehab.

Why isn't Tim English getting a game?
