Prediction Changes v The Orange

[Struggle]

Why is Martin in the team

Giving a bulldog legend a much deserved farewell infront of the home crowd?

 

[Bald]

Schache must have Covid again..

 

[Doggies7]

No Preuss to KO our players is good news.

 

[Oliver G]

Bevo last week after being asked about Schache kicking 7 goals... "we always reward good form".

Today............

 

[dergert]

HAHAHAHA two *s this week against their one.

Must admit, I'm fantasizing about English playing last year's role.

 

[Al dente]

double farewell games for char grilled Martin, and Hunter,

Garcia stiff, the way he is managing McLean's return is bizarre

 

[doggies ftw]

Bahahah, Martin genuinely hilarious at this point - Sweet is so much better. At least 2 rucks will be interesting

Cordy stays in over Keath too with one of the poorest defensive efforts of the season.

Good times, just * off already Bev

 

[Dog 36]

The tone of those selections and changes ooze of INTEGRITY

 

[Doggies7]

I'm fine with Schache not coming in every time he has a good VFL game. He has had a ton of chances at AFL level and has repeatedly disappointed. Yes continuity doesn't help, but a lot of the issues with Josh are due to him probably just not being up to the level to be a regular member of the best 22.

Fine depth player and I would be perfectly ok if he's still on the list as a depth KPP next season, but I personally don't think he needed to be selected. Martin is a bit perplexing but he has been pretty good in the VFL over a decent stretch now and our midfield has been poor recently in our losses. Worth a look maybe to change that up a bit. He and Sweet are both below average as forwards so not sure if this means more Tim around the ground and less in the middle, we'll see...

No no you've got it all wrong.

This is a good thing. If there is a travesty it's maybe, maybe the Schache, Keath, Cordy conundrum and IMO Garcia.

I welcome Martin's inclusion. Suddenly the contested, defensive and clearance side of stoppages and CBs in particular goes up a notch. Timmy goes forward. They have to look at it at this stage.

No-ones had a look and the 2 that will aren't figuring in September. It had to happen.

 

[Custard Guts]

Keath getting 'Trengoved' toward the back end of his career isn't something I'd envisaged but life comes at you fast I suppose.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Schache must have requested a trade to Collingwood like rumoured

Seems the good form he was disguising with the smoke and mirrors was that of Martin.

 

[dergert]

Apart from Garcia, I don't mind the changes.

Schache is too timid at AFL level.

 

[huddo#9]

Must be nearly finals, Roarkes back

 

[random__hero]

 

[Mofra]

McNiel keeping his spot over Garcia is very surprising

I like both players.
Sunny always has a crack and McNeill is now our best pressure player

Wouldn’t this be the time the depth KPP is used? There is no point of him being on the list next season.

 

[dergert]

Ok how the * does Cordy keep his spot though?

 

[doggies ftw]

Martin is beyond cooked at AFL level, it’s one thing to pull the ball out of the ruck and slam it on the boot at VFL level

 

[ringa5]

Best team selection all year.
Can manoeuvre the 3 big men to make sure we are always in the aerial contests.like it...

 

[Dog 36]

That is why he’s not playing he won’t be on the list

Martin may still be on the list next year as back up ruck

 

[Chicago1]

So this is the team that is going to take us closer to the Finals? Saints preserve us!
