AFL Club
Western Bulldogs
Out : Lobb, Darcy, Libba, JOD, Lewis (omfg)

In: Buss, Coff, Dolan, Treloar and Mcneil


Gardner a chance instead of Coff or McNeil

Carmichael a chance but will we debut another with this instability?

Laith maybe but surely not ready yet?

Plenty of drop candidates but we don’t have the cavalry

You’ve somehow missed Emmett
 
From a form perspective.
Ins
Trealor, Buss, Coffield, VDM, Dolan, L Smith
If fit English
If we have a confirmed LTI could do worse than bringing Billings on and in otherwise Mc Neil

Outs
Darcy, Lobb, Libba, JOD
Can only carry 1 of Lewis, Emmett and Croft.

Davidson and Hynes both very lucky

Just have to play Treloar. Find out if his body is up to it or it isn’t.

There’s about 6 other players that could be dropped but won’t. Hynes, Lewis, Emmett, Davidson to name a few.

Croft out!?
 
I like Davidson but he's been ordinary recently. Limp tackles and poor decision making .
My boy VDM comes straight in to sort this shit out . The sheriff is back in town.
 
For the love of all things young and innocent , please Jebus don't let Emmet ruck against Grundy. He already feasts on English .

Assuming Gallagher, English and Jones (?) don't get up.

Out: Darcy, O'Donnell, Lobb, Liberatore, Emmett.

Emmett is a talent, but there's no use throwing him to the wolves at this stage of his development. If the season turns to shit there's plenty of more gentle late season games against weaker opponents we can give him.

In: Smith, Gardner, Busslinger, Treloar, Vandermeer.

Lewis will keep his spot. He very much looks like a VFL footballer but you can't be playing a bunch of young talks with our injuries now. Need a developed body.

Where to start... For those saying Lewis out, Bevo specifically mentioned him in his presser saying now is his chance to get some AFL football under his belt so safe to say he will be staying in.

I have not been a in the "play Lachie Smith" camp at all, but against Grundy, with Lobb and Darcy now out and Emmett absolutely not suited to the task, Lachie has to play this week. Will still get killed, but he is the only suitable candidate left to throw out at him and try and get a contest out of it.

From Ralphy's post game bit, sounds like Treloar unlikely as they want him to get more footy under his belt at VFL level, which is fair enough considering his lack of continuity and seemingly high odds another calf may go in the near future. But saying that, we desperately need him and hopefully the body is ready for some AFL minutes and we can bring him in this week, even in the Pendles role off the bench in say 60% game time.

In - Treloar, Smith, Buss, Gardner, Dolan (it's absolutely going to be McNeil coming in)
Out - Libba, Darcy, JOD, Lobb, Croft (if hurt also)

Oof :'(
 
Arty may be ready, but I would give him another week or maybe a run through the 2s again and then back in after the longer break against Freo. His hammies are becoming an issue so need to be careful with him.

Coffield has been solid in the VFL and mentioned a few times by the coaching staff so he may be one to come in. Could we go just Buss, Buku and Coff or need to maintain the three talls against Sydneys KPFs?

Interested to know what injury Gallagher picked up also.
 
The ins and outs don’t matter nearly as much as Bev sorting out whatever the **** has happened the last two weeks. Swapping a few players won’t remove the malaise that set in across the whole team half way through the Bombers game and hasn’t lifted. long before the injuries tonight the team wasn’t remotely prepared for this game. Bev needs to turn it around in a big way this week, it this game will be a flogging.

This is absolutely spot on . That first quarter was down to the preparation for the contest by the coach. Give the younger untried guys a chance to settle in their correct positions and bring some energy to the contest.
