Preview Changes vs Cats - Rd 14, 2021

[Pugz89]

Just saw this on the WB website:
Tickets will be for a designated section of the Hickey Stand, and will cost $70 per adult, $60 for concessions, and $25 for juniors.

So everyone is going to be jammed into one half of the ground. Hardly social distancing.. The dollar is mightier than public health.

 

[Mr. Walker]

7000 tickets on sale, 200 of which are for Dogs members. Sounds fair.

 

[Doggy]

7000 tickets on sale, 200 of which are for Dogs members. Sounds fair.

At a ridiculous cost too

Was absolutely ridiculous that games earlier in the year would be basically sitting on a strangers lap while half the stadium was empty.

 

[ScragCity]

Does bevo still do mid-week pressers or nah?

 

[Norm De Guerre]

200 Oppo fans sounds about normal for games there. Im actually surprised that they're letting any into their insular little town and stadium.

Its also normal in the same way that gauging fans as a means of making up some of the gate taking shortfalls across the game has become in recent times.

And the hand wringers wonder why attendance were well down prior to the last lockdown.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Stevo reporting Dogs allocated 200 of the 7000 tickets haha

I knew it would be a piddly number. F*** em

I expect our 200 to start a huge half time fight with the 7000. That should even things up.

How many dogs members would realistically be elligable to go though?

 

[SayerTheCreator]

If it’s Greater Geelong, I personally know about 20 so would think it’d comfortably be 1-2k at a minimum

Would it be like in that film 300 but instead of three-hundred Spartans it will be two-hundred bogan Dog fans?

Do we have a dress up theme for the game

 

[Northernsoul74]

No shirts and oil up.

 

[bobs head soup]

I'm bloody jealous of any of our members who are eligible to get tickets for this one. What a unique opportunity, knowing you are 1 of 200 able to represent and support the club. I hope our supporters get as loose and loud as possible and make absolute tools of themselves

 

[Northernsoul74]

Pretty random question from a journo about what Hayes has to do to get a game.

 

[ScragCity]

"Luke Beveridge admits that number one pick is 'frustrated' about not playing"

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Right got two tickets, we will be loud and we will be proud.

 

[Igloo]

Igloo ?

I would, but i'm working. Will sadly miss the first half or so.

Can’t throw a sickie?

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Does bevo still do mid-week pressers or nah?

They are compulsory as directed by the AFL for every game every coach

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Ha ha reckon the crazy lopsided crowd will just fire us up

 

[The Buck]

Does bevo still do mid-week pressers or nah?

By the way Scrag, I won't be able to make it to the secret clique meeting tonight. I am booked in to undertake a gender terminology program for atheist vegan socialists.

I just watched a preview of the game where yet another analyst has fallen for the lazy trope of us not being able to contain Geelongs 3HM.

If Im not mistaken the 3HM was how they described our forward line until English got injured by a flying Monster teammate.

Team with the 'Three Headed Monster' forward line that has kicked the most goals?

Spoiler

: Its the Dogs 75-72.Ours has played 1 extra game between them.

Team with the most point for?

Spoiler

: Its the Dogs

Team with the fewest points against?

Spoiler

: yep, its the Dogs again.

The media are nothing if not sheep.

Spoiler

Well...der!

 

[maddog37]

Recency bias. Fair enough

Leigh Montagna is hit and miss but he can come up with some analysis that goes against the conventional wisdom

In his preview of Friday's match he noted that Geelong's kpds have been found wanting a lot more than ours this year

In recent weeks in losing teams, Charlie Dixon kicked 4.1 against Geelong, Ben King 3.2, Max King 1.5 and a heap of marks and even Sydney's Hayden MacLean kicked 4.

Montagna tipped Naughts to be a major factor.
