Preview Changes v Cats

[Oliver G]

Can't see McLean coming in (unless Macrae is in HIA) as he is likely out the door at the end of the year, the only realistic changes I can see happening are Cleary for Duryea, Libba for Scott and JJ for Vandermeer if he's fit.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Sounds like Geelong have no interest in winning this game.

Hawkins and Cameron both being out on ice.

Did Duncan get suspended?

 

[AFDogs]

Imagine we pick a young, enthusiastic team that rewards VFL form. We come out breathing absolute fire in Geelong. Beat them at home for the first time in yonks by a decent margin.

Carlton then do a job on GWS and we make finals.

Would give us at least something to be positive about after a dire few weeks.

Where does it leave us if the first part happens, but GWS win though?
Asking why the first part didn't happen weeks ago, at a minimum.

 

[Golden_6]

Losing this game would be yet again another disaster. I know we've just lost to West Coast but this would almost be just as bad. Somehow there's a decent chance we fall into finals.

No Hawkins, Cameron, Danger, Duncan, Blicavs, Close, Rohan, Henry, Esava, Guthrie, Stanley/Ceglar.

It leaves us 9th.

If we win and GWS lose, it leaves us 8th with a elimination final against Carlton.

Does it?

 

[Next Waiting]

Does it?

Yes. On percentage. It's deja vu all over again except this time we want Carlton to win.

 

[geoffjennings79]

I was being sarcastic.

I'm well aware of ladder finishes, my second question in the earlier post was a more existential one.

 

[Golden_6]

Yes. On percentage. It's deja vu all over again except this time we want Carlton to win.

It would be pretty strange if two years in a row Carlton were the team to get us into finals at the very death despite us not deserving it either year.

We are challenging Doc's suspension.

 

[3rdgenbulldog]

We are challenging Doc's suspension.

Hope he doesn’t get off and we have to play Clizzard, Arty should also be out of the team and JJ should replace Keith

 

[Doggy]

Lol we are now favourite..

Wtf

 

[Next Waiting]

Lol we are now favourite..

Wtf

Are we $1.02. That means we win right?

 

[Bulldogs85]

Jack Macrae won’t play this weekend entering concussion protocol

 

[Doggy]

Jack Macrae won’t play this weekend entering concussion protocol

Meh, we're not winning anyway

 

[Oliver G]

Jack Macrae won’t play this weekend entering concussion protocol

Not surprising, went off early in the first after a knock, went off in the third after getting a knock (the one Cripps got suspended for) and then got another knock early in the last.

 

[Freshwater]

Sounds likely the coaching change for this week will be the most interesting. I wonder if we just name a four person extended bench for the coaches with confirmation Saturday arvo?

 

[Struggle]

What did Darcy actually do in the Sydney game. Still listed as 1-2 weeks away making it an 8 week corkie?

 

[Golden_6]

In: Libba, Clarke, Cleary
Out: Macrae, Scott/Poulter, Duryea

I’d love for Clarke to get a game just to try and ignite some excitement into our game. It seems like he’s built some solid form over the last month.

In an unexpected twist, we've signed a Cat C rookie to play small forward this week... has a few games under his belt at 3 clubs apparently, likes surfing, didn't catch his name, but initials are LB.

 

[Doggy]

**** you Geelong

Confirmed there'll be no Blicavs, Cameron, Close, Hawkins, Ratugolea or Rohan this week due to injuries and surgeries

 

[Bulldogs85]

* you Geelong

We will still manage to find a way and lose this game

 

[Shadow89]

Hey guys,

Just popping in and letting you know that we'll be missing 8 Best 22 players this weekend, so there really is no reason you should be losing this one; even if there is the KP hoodoo for the past 20 years.

All of Hawk, Jez, Duncan, Rohan, Blicavs, Ratugolea, Close and Guthrie (is fit but not risking him) not playing.

Essentially no forward line and half a midfield. Finals are yours for the taking!
