Strategy Changes v Adelaide

[SayerTheCreator]

Don't expect anyone to, we rarely tag

It's ridiculous. The tag still has some merit these days.

I reckon it's a bit arrogant of Bevo to not consider it. Sloane to have 37 touches and kick 3

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Might not be a heavy tag - but I'm pretty sure we will at least give Sloane some extra attention.

Wallis was looking like becoming the best defensive mid in the comp for a while there. Can remember him consistently keeping the best mids quite while also racking up clearances himself. Too bad we don't believe that's an important part of football anymore... or that Wallis could be useful outside of the forward line...

Not only keeping them quiet but he was posting numbers better than his 2012.

Was Libba at the airport today?

I think that Bevos 18 man Zone stands up even though we aren't playing as well as expected this year we are still always in most games with a winning chance.

If he goes with a full on tag it compromises our zone.

I like that Bevo backs in our players as a group to deal with players getting off the chain. A good example was last years Geelong game at Geelong Dangerfield was carving us up but Bevo stuck with Libba and Macrae to get on top and they did and we looked like winning that game until they both got injured.

We've still won plenty of games with opposition players racking up stats. Tagging only gets brought up when we lose??

He said it himself about last weeks WC game that if our ball use was better then Gaff doesn't rack up the stats. We need to clean up the ball use.

 

[Mattdougie]

Doesn't mean you stop watching. Keep supporting the club you love.

Didn't say I wouldn't support but I simply hate Adelaide and will struggle to watch them smack us

Also can't stand Bruce so no real loss if I don't have to hear his cr@p

Short memory. Sydney & Melbourne games ring a bell?

Well that's 2 out 15. Wouldn't 13 out 15 be most?

 

[The Original Swooper]

Expecting Smith, Libber and Roberts to be given a run. Raffle the outs. I can't follow the MC any more. I'd like it to be Dicko & Suckling The 3rd out will be the weekly surprise injury.

I'm just a bit more inclined to go by recent form. We were also down by 5 goals to WC

 

[The Inbetweener]

Hearing Murphy is out with a hamstring

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Hearing Murphy is out with a hamstring

Where'd you hear that?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

According to Stevo, out Toyd and Dickson, in Cloke and Libba

ICYMI | Dogs selection update
OUT: T Boyd
TBC: Cloke + Liberatore in, Dickson out

Yes our recent form has been crap but I'll still back Bevo in for a while yet.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

According to Stevo, out Toyd and Dickson, in Cloke and Libba

Boyd didn't even play.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Boyd didn't even play.

Yeah. Stevo retweeted 7AFL. Someone has their wires crossed. Cloke was supposed to be returning via VFL.

Probably Libba for Dickson.

 

[ttomred17]

My guess.

Out: Dickson, Honeychurch
In: Moyd, Libba

 

[Doggy]

Yeah. Stevo retweeted 7AFL. Someone has their wires crossed. Cloke was supposed to be returning via VFL.

Probably Libba for Dickson.

Going small in the backline. That should turn out well

These things are constantly overlooked. First you need someone capable of doing the job. You then need to make sure that their loss of output is less than the amount of output taken off the tagged player.
Then you need to ensure structures, rotations etc aren't damaged or compromised.

It's more than Just, he's good...tag him.

I get where MD is coming from. It's like watching a video of someone you love getting bashed senseless. Too hard to watch.

I've been that way this year. It's hard to watch us play the way we are consistently this year when we all know what our boys are capable of.

 

[Dog Rising]

Murphy and Biggs out....ouch
Come on down JJ....please.

 

[Doggies_13]

Out: Murphy Biggs Campbell Dickson

[Doggy]
