Changes v Adelaide

[Pugz89]

Who does Gibson go to? Surely a tag.

Macrae. Will be interesting to see if Bont stays forward more as well. With Crouch bros and Sloane out, think we have enough to match them without putting him in there which means a Boyd/Bont forward line could be in order.

 

[JTCWBFC]

We expecting Trengove to follow Jenkins into the ruck when he gives Jacobs a chop out?

 

[BEaston]

If they tag Macrae I think we should play Bont on the ball as much as possible to punish their unbalanced midfield. With Rough in I don't think we'll need Bont up forward as much. Hope his hip is feeling good.

 

[hutchy31]

I’m going to this - first away game in a long time - and now feel like we might be in with a shot, rather than the 10 goal defeat I envisaged a few weeks back.

Still a young team going across but you won’t get a better opportunity to beat the crows at AO than this. Good test of the group after a few good wins, albeit against poor opposition.

As an aside, if anyone has any recommendations for pre and post game beers that’d be appreciated

 

[Go the Guts]

and no tex, no mcgovern, no luke brown + bringing in underdone players...Our season has become derailed by injuries and you guys are every chance to knock this crows team off as it is nothing like the dominant team last year

I'd like to see our injury list ATM, feels like half our side out.

Macrae's style is almost untaggable I reckon. Wasted effort, he'll still rack up 35+ possessions

We know the feeling. Imagine having to deal with it for three consecutive years then somehow still managing to win a flag. Hopefully it's a good contest and the Crows fans are nice to us Dogs fans in the crowd. Really excited to visit AO for footy for the first time.

I would say he's more taggable than Bont and not really sure anyone else is worthy of a tag currently.

We’ve Libba, Morris, Picken, Adams, Naughton, Dickson, Smith and Redpath missing through injury at the moment and that’s actually an improvement with Wood, Roughead and Trengove all returning to AFL after injury spells or regaining fitness in the VFL.

You’re not going to find much sympathy on the injury front over here.

 

[Dogs Rule]

It might be 21 years on, but I still freakin hate the Crows. A win tomorrow and I might just brave the cold and do a nudie run.

Go Dogs!

 

[Vinegar Mess]

Marcus Adams makes his debut for Footscray on Sunday? Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Not a huge fan of that team tbh, honeychurch in for Roughead late hopefully but even that will be too tall

Why would we do that? Significantly weakens the team

Apparently they are going to wheel out ricciuto and smart for the game as we are short of league players this week...on a serious note i would like to see laird go to macrea as they would rack up 150 possessions between them

Go Dogs!

Yep.

Has not been a more gracless premier other than Hawthorn.

It’s not just the prelims. Make no mistake every supporter in WA and SA want our club out of the comp.

 

[Snake Livermore]

Any chance Trengrove will ruck and Rough will play full back?

I'm expecting Mclean to have a breakout game. He was massive last year vs the Crows despite us getting belted.

And Talias phone is on silent so we are certainties!

Quietly optimistic about this one now

I am loudly optimistic but I have had a couple of beers tonight!

[Bulldogs Legend]

Webb has to shoulder a big responsibility this week.

With Jong and Honeychurch out of the side he will have to be the main whipping boy on BF.

I'm confident he'll step up.

And Young is showing a lot of promise!

Back line looking experienced and Morris, Adams still to come back. When Naughton is back too it will be interesting to see how it looks. Trengove at fullback can hopefully play well and find a spot down there.

these look like good changes. hope we win. will try to listen to the game from the city of hohhot in inner mongolia, china. will be wering my bulldogs binnie. i think we are a real chance actually. bevo i reckon thinks we are a chance for the flag. and so do i.

 

[perro_loco]

When we get Adams and Morris available for senior selection in a couple of weeks, do we trial him up forward? Our backline seems pretty much set with Naughton to come back in as well as Morris waiting in the wings.

i am starting to really enjoy the prospects for our second half of the season. our improvement is starting to realise with all the experienced players coming in. go doggies. off horse riding into the plains of inner mongolia. go doggies

 

[Werewolf]

If anyone's going to the game and hasn't gotten tickets yet, I may have a spare and feel free to PM me

 

[Martyn_30_]

The midfield is at near full strength and Adelaide are essentially without theirs, you’d expect a complete domination in the territory for this game.
