Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 8, 2025 vs Western Bulldogs @ Ballarat

[Willsy10]

Is Burton in for Sinn actually that bad of a suggestion? Maybe Evans needs a few more games in the sanfl searching for the confidence he had towards the end of last year.

I also don’t subscribe to the theory that Atkins is totally dogshit too.

I think Sinn’s year so far has been overrated.

Looks like Evans has been Hinked after 1 season Lol..

Burton has a good kick on him but isn't interested in winning the ball himself to get that kick, or defending.

 

[all seeing eye]

Evans probably, although his form doesnt warrant it.

Contextually it's not. Sin has been very reliable this year, and that's a fair effort considering where he's come from.

Agree that Atkins isn't nearly as bad as made out.

It's bad because Burton has missed a lot of football and will be very rusty. One of the last guys you want coming in without any match fitness.

He got 18 possessions on the weekend.

Evans got 20 and 19 the week before.

Have they really been that bad?

Yep

 

[Seattle Mariners]

A bit disrespectful to have Port at $3.10 for this game.

Dogs are good but they're not consistently good.

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd be going with Evans there is absolutely no future in cooked spuds like Burton & Atkins.

Happy melt day

It’s because everyone seems to think Butters will actually suit up for the Dogs not us this weekend

Called a good value bet

 

[True__Believer]

Called a good value bet

The thing is you couldn't take the line. With our Jekyll and Hyde performances, we win or we get blow away. No honourable loss to be had in this one

 

[Alberton Proud]

Weather looking sweet

 

[Cosmicwinduptoy24]

Not sure SANFL form is a great measure. From memory almost no one was impressed with Evans form last year prior to being elevated to the AFL Team. Then everyone loved him.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Yeah Dogs should prob start favourite but we've won 3 in a row and have a great record in Ballarat. Shouldnt be over 2.50

 

[PortVic]

We limped across the line to the 2nd bottom team by 9 points at home.

 

[FishingRick04]

We limped across the line to the 2nd bottom team by 9 points at home.

And beat premiership favourite Hawks 2 weeks before and Sydney in Sydney. We don't have the best form line but enough to give 3/1 a crack, package it up with Saints to beat Freeo and Blues to beat Crows

 

[240volt]

I wouldn’t back the Dogs with counterfeit money.
They are either very good or total shit.

 

[RossFC]

We limped across the line to the 2nd bottom team by 9 points at home.

Make no mistake, it should have been a 40+ point win. The umpires might as well have kicked most of Norths goals themselves.

 

[Steve Dore]

... have a great record in Ballarat. ...

We've played two games there, the most recent seven years ago. Our form at that venue is hardly relevant.

I don't think the Dogs beat North by much either and they didn't have the same trouble with the umpiring as us.
