Preview Changes versus Swans

[TiAn_]

Both. If Lobb gets up then Gardner would be emergency, but I'd expect both Buss and Gard are coming in this week.

Sounding like it'll be:
Ruck: Smith
FWD: Naughton, Croft, Emmett
DEF: Buss, Gard/Lobb, Khamis

Darcy, JOD, Libba all definitely out, then Lobb questionable and Lewis to be dropped to emergency

I would be very surprised if Lewis is omitted. I think they’ll give him a few weeks to see if he can be effective as a mature body next to Naughts.

Also Dogs have back to back 6 days and such a hole in the ruck

Think we will need to make a call between him and Emmett. Can't see both playing with Smith coming in.

Lewis more of a forward so would probably rather him in, but my gut feel says he comes out

 

[MYOB]

Our mate is umpiring the game as well.

I guess we have to account for Smith but being able to ruck for "English minutes" as well so I'd imagine we have to plan for someone with chop out ruck ability. I'm still not convinced Croft is that guy.

Swans have announced two debutants as well, bit of doubt around Warner I hear.

The Chad or the Corey?

You “skim past” my posts but keep replying and editing your comments after the fact. Pick one.

I’ve made a pretty basic point on Bont and English and you’ve spent three replies dodging it and having a crack instead.
And using hyphens doesn’t make it AI, peanut.

If you want to talk footy, go for it. If not, stop carrying on like an old porkchop.

Why do you engage with new burner accounts. It’s not worth the hassle.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Treloar, Buss, Gardner, Vanders, McNeil, Smith...hearing these are the most likely possibles

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Has Coffield been really bad each week of VFL?

 

[grassman75]

Treloar, Buss, Gardner, Vanders, McNeil, Smith...hearing these are the most likely possibles

Oh boy….

So basically what is left then

There can be no melts this week, surely. It’s literally a case of who is able to get through a game of footy.

No good mate Bevo is playing the kids mature bodies would be useful like that May guy

may have to dip into the womens team

 

[weltschmerz]

may have to dip into the womens team

A player exactly like Elaine Grigg would be phenomenal in the men's side

 

[Dogs 13]

Heeney & Warner out !!

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Heeney & Warner out !!

Different Warner but Heeney is a big one

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

WESTERN BULLDOGS

In: R.Gardner, J.Busslinger, A.Treloar, L.Smith, J.Dolan
Out: R.Lobb (hamstring), J.O'Donnell (hamstring), S.Darcy (knee), J.Croft (omitted), T.Liberatore (concussion)

SYDNEY

In: W.Edwards, D.Rampe, B.Cootee
Out: J.Hamling (omitted), I.Heeney (injured), Co.Warner (omitted)

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Heeney out is huge. Probably worth three of our injuries.

 

[Doggy]

At least we might have some ins next week...



Diabolical

 

[Snarls Barkley]

We were inexplicably tall last week with Lewis coming in for a small, so no surprise that that has been adjusted. Not sure why Lewis is ahead of Croft in the pecking order but so be it. Think Emmett staying in made sense, Smith shouldn't have to ruck alone at this stage of his career

Hoping Treloar gets through. Wonder if he'll be on reduced minutes. Desperate for some midfield experience with no Libba and a hurt Richards and Bont

 

[Doggies7]

Gotta say, all things considered I like the ins and outs. Croft a little surprising given who is already out, thought it would be good to settle him next to Naughty now without Darcy, but he's been pretty quiet so far this year so Emmett gets a shot there and to backup ruck
