Opinion Changes v giants

Hey fellas,
Genuine question RE Bailey Smith.
Looking to bring him into my SC side but Bevo worries the hell outta me. Baz looks so good inside but then again so does Macca, Bont, Dunks, Libba etc.
Genuine question as to where you think Bevo may play him going forward. Only want him if he will continue the inside MID role. Libba coming in also scares me as he is very restricted to simply playing inside MID, so who gets pushed out? My guess is Baz but would love to hear your thoughts.

Bailey Smith has been BOG in the first two rounds, and last week he pushed Macrae out to the wing to allow Smith to continue starting in the centre as he's our only mid with genuine burst speed. I'd be surprised is Libba takes his spot in the guts.
If anything, it means Bonti may rest forward at times.

Who knows what Bevo has planned. Don't think he'd know yet

I wouldn't worry - he's easily our most in-form player right now. I know Bevo has been known to make some odd choices at times, but he'd be completely batshit to reduce Smith's time in the middle right now. I'd sooner see Macrae on the wing or Bont up forward than to have Smith out of the middle.

I have him in my side this week, if that helps

 

[Bulldogs85]

Hopefully Cody Weightman gets to play his first game

 

[Northernsoul74]

Hopefully Cody Weightman gets to play his first game

We would have heard If he was debuting by now.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Yeah after we made a big deal of Vandermeers debut, I wouldn't expect any this week since we heard nothing.

Hopefully no huge changes despite how poor that effort was. We need some continuity. I think I'd be happy with:

OUT: Richards (assuming injured), Gowers, Gardner

IN: Cordy, Trengove, McLean

We were told last week Libba was likely, then he wasn't even named as emergency. Not getting my hopes up for this week, but he'd be in if he's ready

Far too sensible. It’ll never happen.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

i’m ready to melt.

 

[weltschmerz]

Looks like Richards is training fine, so fingers crossed his knee is fine

He's been our best performed mid over the first 2 games, so much so that he pushed Macrae onto the wing for much of the R2 game. While he is in that sort of form, there should be no danger of him changing. But then we keep selecting Ryan Gardner to play when he clearly isn't up to AFL level, so who really knows.

 

[Dogs 13]

Certain betting agencies can't be serious only giving 8.5pts in, have they been watching us.

This is not meant to be an endorsement of gambling

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Gards, Lippi, Gowers out, all omitted.
Cordy, Libba, McLean in.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Not too bad

 

[Virgin Dog]

Lipinski dropped?! I know he hasn't been outstanding, but thought he was far from our worst. Gowers and Gardner no surprise. ****ing keen for Libba back in.

Greene out works well for us

 

[Virgin Dog]

 

[NBates]

Gorby's out I see....and right now Channel 7's still advertising the game with him in it hahahaha!!!

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Not bad but a bit surprised by Lipinski. Still no help for English either.

 

[Struggle]

****ing lol. Tim English with no help again

 

[Mattdougie]

Lipinski out but Dale and Lloyd get another crack???

Wow

 

[weltschmerz]

Gardner and Gowers out is good. The three ins are good. Wish Trenners or Sweet was in, I assume Bruce will chop out in the ruck occasionally.

 

[DognBones]

I gave Lipinski 4 votes in the Ching. I know nothing!

 

[Kennel Master]

******* lol. Tim English with no help again

Maybe give Naughton a run in the ruck at times. I seem to remember he was OK when tried before.

Will get him involved in the game and English can rest forward.

[mattwa]

Lippa stiff but overall no Gardner is a huge in for the team

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Jacobs rucking one out for GWS and he’s also not the strongest of ruckman so not a bad week to let English have another crack.

 

[bresker]

What will actually happen is that English gets slaughtered in the ruck with minimal help from other players.

Someone needs to tell Bev that since they banned 3rd man up the primary role of the ruckman is to win the ruck contests.
