Preview Changes: Round 21 vs norf

[Bulldogs Legend]

If I ran the world Biggs would be my first de-list. He have us so much in 16’ but he is not the same player and we have plenty of half backs on our list.

I hope Bev was taking the piss

I have always thought with Biggs his best is good but he has a tendency to not bring it consistently enough even back in 2016. I would see him as a delist and then potential rookie if we are allowed to do that.

Despite being named our best player in the VFL last week he didn't even make the extended bench.
Does that indicate he's on the way out, or is it that he's secure and we are just giving the youngsters a go in the last few games of the season?

There was a whisper comment some weeks back when Biggs got promoted that a Premiership Player who was recently back in the Seniors thinks he could be palyting his last game for the club. Not sure if they meant Biggs but wouldn't surprise me.

Or it could indicate that whoever does the "bests" for the VFL has no idea

I think that's established fact (either that or they are deliberately playing funny buggers), but his stats were pretty good last week so he probably played OK.

 

[Bodicifer]

I have a feeling there'll be a late change, English might get a run as well.

Who takes Brown and does someone run with Higgins?

I expect that those doing the best for the VFL probably only go by look and stats and wouldn't know about roles and tactics and footy history is full of players who can dominate at VFL but struggle at AFL

I reckon we will smash Norfs Finals dreams on Sunday and its gonna feel good!

Could be Biggs, could be Roberts. Hell, it could be a number of players who might be traded.

INTERCHANGE
35 Caleb Daniel

So it's only Gowers in for Roarke Smith

 

[Spectre]

That's been our problem as a young side. We need to be better for longer!

Aren't there pills for that? Asking for a friend...

Jong/Dunkley to run with Higgins. Naughton on Brown and Cordy on Waite.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Who do you see matching up on Brown, Waite, Ziebell & Wood?

I suspect Morris will go to Ziebell.

What is a Ziebell? Is it french?

 

[footyfan000001]

Brown - Naughton
Waite - Cordy
Wood - Crozier
Ziebell - Morris

Wouldn't be surprised if Higgo is a late out.

 

[go you pups]

Stop Brown, Higgins and Cunnington then we're a chance.

Whether it happens is another thing though as these three were the difference last time around...

 

[Golden_6]

I swear we played North like 6 weeks ago.

 

[go you pups]

I swear we played North like 6 weeks ago.

7 weeks ago I think

Similar scenario to playing Port twice though in short time

Stupid fixturing, just like us playing 4 away games the last 4 weeks after multiple weeks of playing 3 home games in a row

 

[Snake_Baker]

Brown - Naughton
Waite - Cordy
Wood - Crozier
Ziebell - Morris

Interesting.

No double teaming for Browny this week.

Brown is guaranteed to kick 6 tomorrow. We have no one who can go with him. We're better off just conceding that he will mark it when it comes to him and try to deny his supply.

 

[Del165892]

Really looking forward to this game. Hope its another close one. Our rivalry with Norf is like the minnow version of Hawks vs Geelong.

He has been down on form the last three weeks. More interested in wrestling his oponents. The spread of talls might find you out but also might get found out defensively when your mobile back six run the ball out at will.

Will be another close one. We've had some good games in recent history hoping this one is no different.

 

[maddog37]

Had a very vivid dream last night we were leading by 40 points over North.

You need to work on your "Vivid dreams" none of my classics involve North Melbourne or football come to think of it.

More like they throw darts at it. Bests don't seem to correspond with stats either.
