Prediction Changes Round 14 vs Dees

[bunkyboy]

This is gonna be a real test this game.

Melbourne full of belief right now and Gawn comes back (hopefully underdone)

Boys have to bring that pressure like they did v Cats, interesting to see how they back it up.

Play like the doe prior to the that and it be a similar game like v GWS & GCS

Agreed. If we can bring the same angry attitude and tackling, we can get over the top of them.

 

[wadistance]

Also they got the shit Jackovich so they'd be pissed at that too

 

[King LeBron]

Out: Shuey, Nelson, LeCras
In: Masten, Wellingham, Karpany

First two changes will definitely happen, last one won't.

Shuey will be fine.

Great post Keys. Also great memory. Lyon would have come up against Jackovich at his best?

Lyon was lucky v WCE and others that Schwarz was at his peak and got Jako & best defender mostly.
Playing against that WC backline was daunting for any forward though.
Have heard, only here say though, that Lyon is one of those that believes the roids thing

Also they got the shit Jackovich so they'd be pissed at that too

Allen Jako has a great highlights reel, was a hell of a player on his day...bit of a loose cannon, but very entertaining.

 

[Ok Boomer]

We are lucky this is at home.

Just saw the highlights of first half Dogs Dees game, well, the brawling highlights.
If the Dees bring that niggle, our boys will shit themselves and we'll be flogged.

Didn't see them take a backward step v a very hardened Geelong midfield.

As long as they come to play and get dirty we'll be sweet. If they come and expect a free flowing game, they'll be exposed.

Listened to the radio so don't know how much niggle was in the WC Cats game. The Dees brought the Agro by the dumptruck load. Will be interesting to see how we respond to such physical tactics if thats what they bring.

Do yourself a favour if you can. Watch a replay. Haven't seen this kind of WC side for quite some time.

 

[FKASC]

But hopefully it's a WC side we do see for quite some time.

Footy is so much better to watch when your team cracks in. Even losing is that much more palatable

 

[Chris_6678]

They could be without watts and n jones

Couldn't agree more

Shuey will be fine.

$1000 fine?

Can't see a bunch of changes happening to a winning side unless forced.

JK in is basically a forced in, Nelson out the forced out.

We had a pretty fierce rivalry with Melbourne in the early 90's. In fact it'd be fair to say they were the first side we had that with

Melbourne beat us in our first final in 1988 when Wrenstead missed a running shot at goal in the last minute that would have put us in front. Early days they had our measure winning 6 of the first 8 games between the two sides

We then spanked them in the 1990 first semi-final in an upset - that was the days when there were no finals outside Victoria at all so we had to travel despite finishing higher on the ladder (on percentage) and it was our 5th consecutive away game after H&A games at Carrara and Kardinia Park to end the season then consecutive qualifying finals against Collingwood due to the drawn first final. It was also our first finals win

After that we dominated Melbourne in 90's winning 14-2 including that final and knocking Melbourne out in the 1991 first semi-final (in Melbourne with that finals thing again) and the 1994 prelim final at the WACA. Our average winning margin in those games was close to 8 goals. Lyon finished playing in 1999 so for most of his career was used to getting his arse handed to him by west coast

Melbourne were also one of the teams that would regularly racially sledge Lewis which has been admitted by Lyon and was a factor in the Lewis-Viney biting incident. So there was some bad blood between the teams during Lyons playing career

Yep well that all makes sense why Gary Lyon hates us and is a total flog.

How do the Dees go when they have to travel (generally)? Particularly to Perth.

I don't think Kennedy will play.

We are defiantly too tall though and more leg speed and depth through the middle.

Out: Nelson (inj), EMac (team balance)

In: Wellingham and most likely Redden. Would rather see Karpany. Butler also a chance, Dees have a few medium forwards to deal with.

Will JK be ready to come back in by next week for thought I heard he hasn't even trained yet since his injury?

Haven't won here since 2004 (I think), lost 17 in a row including games v Freo

They won every category v WC last season in Perth but couldn't get the win

It'll be a tough game for our lads

I don't think he'll play

What actually happened to Nelson ? Still have not heard.

Have only had to leave Victoria twice this season

Beat Adelaide in Adelaide and Gold Coast in Alice Springs which was a Melbourne home game

Gave us a real run for our money last year in a game we arguably didn't deserve to win

Their road form has actually been good

Hammy I thought?
