Preview Changes and predictions: Blues v Bulldogs Round 22

[Martyn_30_]

On form this year and time missed through injury Wood should be playing in the vfl, or logically he shouldn’t be playing at all given his hamstring history.

Timmy?

Roughy didn't do enough and should be dropped. Is Boyd still injured?

BTC reminder game, I am still on the list for a couple of weeks anyway. Lobbe fears Campbell.

No BTC I would rather English

This might be a stay in whitten bar and sink piss sort of game.

Every Carlton game is!!

The humour was implied, I would expect a phone call from Bevo before BTC should.

Hope we are not looking past Carlton in anticipation for the Tigers clash the week after.

This is exactly what I was thinking..
"One week at a time" as they say

So ... it's just Wood in and Cordy out? Or is another change on the cards?

 

[Werewolf]

SCRAY72 I'm fine with including English, but Boyd's stronger and more of a threat up forward. He had a decent game last time against Carlton, aside from a couple of narrow misses. But it seems that Boyd's still not available, which was my query

Likely. Where is Adams though?

Test last week, surprise out two weeks ago- still nowhere to be seen.


When he gets injured he disappears forever.

Hopefully English for roughy

Hope next time Bevo has a presser.He explains the intricacies of not playing English.When the kid needs the experience.
Or are we justifying Trengroves contract , or shopping Roughead.Really like clarification.

The fact Porter was named as a debutante, usually means he plays.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

First time we’ve doubled up vs Carlton in a season since 1937 ...

 

[jooce8891]

of course we vs you guys when you start building some form , anyways good luck and i hope young gets a game would love to watch him again.

My question: is this the least relevant game of the season? Discuss...

Nope. Likely the last time we will see certain players winning in the red, white and blue.

He has been named on the extended bench a load of times this year

I hope you're a primary schooler

Surely this can't be right.....

 

[Braybrook Son]

Out: Cordy, Roughead, lethargy
In: Wood, English, discombobulation

Would like to to see us put the foot down

I like this, and hope it happens. Seriously, what have we got to gain by not playing English for the last two weeks? Roughy is done and will be lucky to get on another AFL list. Hope he’s not on ours next year, or we are just going backwards!

We’ve played our best footy for the year with Trengove in the ruck.

Neither do I believe guys need to be playing AFL footy to be developing. English needs gym time as much as anything. He’s going to be a machine.

Trengove has earned his spot and should be our number 1 ruckman until English takes it from him.

Trengove Ruckman = good.

Best position for him, good RFA recruitment.

How the mighty have fallen. I think most doggies supporters would think that the AFL and previously the VFL view our club as a lesser entity for want of a better phrase and things like the inequity of fixturing and being denied blockbusters have reinforced that view over time. But I've felt we've worn that like a badge of honour for the most part. The scorned. The inconvenient truth.

And now we have been joined in the AFL's 'also ran' pile by the formerly great and relevant Carlton who now get to play other 'also ran' teams twice. How tragic.

It's a bit like some Toorak toff falling on hard times, losing his mansion and being reduced to living in the boarding house. As a long term resident of the boarding house we welcome them of course.
"Come in, come in. Take that room down the hall. Gets the morning sun and has a great view of the bay". Smiling wryly as we return to our room at the other end of the hall knowing full well that next to our new mate Carl lives our old mate norfie who pisses the bed and wakes up screaming and howling at the moon every night.
