Preview Bevidge will absolutely disengromulate the Blues

[Del165892]

It's on this round.

Bevidge has put down the crossword puzzles and has focused on out-strategising Bolton and revolutionising the game all over again.

Rumours I'm hearing from inside the club is that English will be playing on a wing while Lachlan Young has a go at the ruck. Easton Wood will be taking Schache's spot in the forward line while Hayes plays that intercept marking role across half back.

In regard to the GamePlan, expect us to try and win the ball in the contest and take territory. Our plan will involve keeping the ball locked in our forward 50. We will kick behinds rather than goals and you will all lament our poor skills, not realising that this is by design. Luckily, Bevo is smarter than us and he knows the one way to guarantee that the ball leaves your F50 is to kick a goal. It's not about scoring, it's about stopping our opponents from scoring and the best way to do that is to keep the ball at our scoring end.

Bevidge, you get a lot of crap on this forum but this weekend we will all be in awe of your genius.

I'm not confident at all. Yikes!

I agree that whatever game plan Bolton comes up with, it will be extirpated.

Hayes can’t turn it over to Liam Jones in the forward line if he’s already turned it over in the midfield

 

[NBates]

It's a full moon. My spider sense is tingling. I am anticipating a total meltdown on thus site when we lose Sunday. Sunday is not the day to make changes. It's the day to threaten last chances. I will be there. Go Dogs! I just hope my prediction is proved wrong.

If we can kick at least 15 behinds, it will mean we have successfully locked the ball in our f50 and bevinge will be mastr coach again. Go dogs

No Suckling, no Suckling. = No Suckling.

Huge if true

Are you suggesting an x-files style conspiracy to go with the Behind theory in the OP ?

If so I like it !

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

These threads have only a 50% success rate.

But I applaud the lateral concept of not scoring goals.

Oh my god. In a weird sort of way this actually makes sense.
God help us all.

The sacrifices I make for this club. So... since I'll be going out for Easter lunch on Sunday, I can not have my footy good luck meal on that day. Instead I decided to go down to the fish 'n chips shop late in the afternoon while the sun was still out and order the Fisherman's Platter, just so I'd technically actually have fish 'n chips since I was so cruelly admonished for getting potato cakes instead of chips on my last lucky meal quest. Fine. I was feeling well enough to walk down to the shops with my trusty walker.

I left my unit at about 5:20pm so that it would still be light on my journey back home. How wrong I was. I forgot that Australians become very religious on Good Friday, or rather very piscean. The wait in line that stretched out the rainbow PVC strip door just to order was ten minutes. I decided to go all out and order the Fisherman's Platter - 1 flake, chips, 2 calamari, 2 scallops, 1 prawn and 1 crab stick. Now if that isn't an award winning footy good luck meal, nothing is. I was told there was a wait of about half an hour. I decided to take my walker outside since it was so hot inside the shop and sit on the walker seat. As I waited, I heard a commotion. It reminded me of Black Friday sales at Walmart back home. A lady came out the door quite upset and said that a guy yelled at her for trying to cut the line. Her mortal sin(Good Friday reference) was thinking that since she had telephoned her order in that she could just amble into the shop and gather her order. LOL Apparently she cut in front of a very hungry millennial.

I decided to go back inside the shop to listen for my order. At last it was ready after forty minutes. However, it was now dark out and the footpaths in our western suburb seem to have been forgotten by the last ten Victorian governments and walking back home in the dark was a tad bit dangerous. However, I made it just in time to watch norf lose to the Bombers. Sophie's choice.

So... I lived through a near riot in the shop, almost died of heat stroke while waiting to order, sacrificed my beloved potato cakes so I could have "traditional" chips and risked my life walking home in the dark, just so the Bulldogs can earn a win on Sunday because of my lucky meal. Bulldogs easily over the Blues.

Not getting potato cakes is ridiculous. They are literally the best part of fish n chips. Flake + chips + potato cakes + dimmies is the way to do it.

But I felt pressured to get the damn chips since I was criticised for saying that I was getting fish 'n chips last time when I really got fish 'n potato cakes. I was made to feel worthless and chipless. I'm just not good under pressure. I didn't even finish all of the chips tonight because there were so many. No more chips for me! My usual is one barramundi, two(or three if I'm feeling piggish) potato cakes and a pickled onion. I did not get a pickled onion tonight. It was my Good Friday sacrifice.

I'd disengromulate all over the keyboard if I ate all that.

I hope your fish story is not an omen for 'the one that got away.'

What's on the menu for tomorrow though Chicago?

I'm preparing for the unpreparable. A line has been drawn for the Blues (hope that's the correct expression), we've had a fair amount of changes (first gamers, team cohesion question), my Footscray 50 years learned experience (we always lost the unloseable), good odds for the Blues this week apparently, and the questionable changes to Chicago's menu/pre game degustation.

Oh well. At least if that dick Norf supporter sits behind me again and bags us all day (He's there with dogs supporters) I can give it to him.

I'm not sure about what we're having for Easter lunch, but I'll give a full report after we eat. We should finish by gametime. My friends are Indian so we'll probably have a mixture of chicken biryani and a lamb roast with veggies. I went to our game last year on Easter Sunday so had some chips and maybe a hot dog. We lost, so I'm hoping that's not on the menu for tomorrow.

I have leftover fish and a handful of chips from last night. I'm not supposed to eat big meals on doctors' orders, so saved some for today. If I get food poisoning after warming the stuff up, it will one more sacrifice I will have made for the club.

BTW I put my 30 year member pin(should have been 40 - damn you, Perth) on my jacket yesterday for the first time. I rubbed it on my head first for good luck(pin was in clasp). Surely that should help for a victory tomorrow.

BBQ tomorrow - Birthday time - so it’s TV for me

I’m a fish & potato cake Guy too - hope your talking about food?

To the footy - I feel its experiment time again

I don’t think we are good enough for that at the moment

I’m hoping I’m reading too much into it

Go Dogs

This is a very sleepy thread for a game preview. Anyway, stating the bleedingly obvious, a win tomorrow puts us back in the mix around the top 8 and a loss will probably confirm what a lot of posters predicted pre-season: that we would finish around the bottom 4.
We have two tall players in the team (I don't count Cordy because he doesn't play tall) which even by our standards, is probably unprecedented in recent times. This is a winnable game for both teams and whichever brings the most effort for longest will win.
Hopefully we don't have to rely on the usual suspects yet again and we get more contribution from the likes of: Richards, Dunkley, Wallis, Smith, Wood, McLean, Lloyd, Gowers, Dickson. Did I forget any others? Hopefully English getting his hands on just a few more ruck contests than last week would help also.

Yeah I don't share your pessimism even if we are 2 and 3. That would put us 1 game outside the eight with 18ish to play. Much water yet to go under the bridge.

I don't think this thread is the right place to be trying to have a serious discussion about the game.

Under-appreciated tactic is extirpation
