Changes vs Collingwood

[_Mike_]

nvm, AFL site has the updated team.. Herald Sun couldn't organize a pissup in a brewery

Biggest game of the year today IMO. Time for guys like campbell, Crameri, hunter and redpath to step up.

Agree on a very big game today but I hope Bonti steps up big time because he could be the difference between the two sides. Very nervous about Collingwood's midfield.

 

[Tommycash]

We only need one of Stringer, Bonti, Murph or JJ to take the game by the throat and we'll win I reckon.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I wouldn't mind seeing us kick a bunch of goals in the first half for a change

 

[BRWB]

A big positive is Bev not picking Minson who'd have given away about 20 frees the way this round has been umpired..

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Almost feels like we are playing a final. Pumped!!!

 

[bresker]

I'm usually very positive (see my gameday comments especially in the GC thread) but I've been sucked in by all your negativity and am worried we're going to lose today.

That said, I'm not going to go ape and bag players if we lose (unless they really deserve it)'

I've watched Collingwood games this season and think they're a good team. They get bonus points from me for playing attractive football, unlike some of the awful cowardly cloggers we've come up against. Hoping that even if we do lose it's a good game to watch today.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Getting close now. So pumped!

CARN YOU F#*KEN SCRAGGERS!!!!

 

[Dogsman16]

Must win game. As always I am confident.

It's Stringer time today, he's been in an out of games hes due to rip one by the scruff of the neck.

Dogs by 38 - Stringer with 8 goals.

Spindle sub.

 

[Lex22]

Is it just me, or are fans here the most negative bunch of people you have ever come across?

Spot on. Bev's picked a side based on speed and carry (pretty much the 2 biggest attributes that have won us 9 games thus far) and a lot of people are sinking the boot in.

It's not the best side available but it's still pretty damn strong. He's recognized the fast track at Etihad probably doesn't suit the pies and he's picked a side accordingly.

I expect Crameri and Stringer to benefit most from this set up. Interesting to see how Redpath goes as 2nd ruck, or maybe they'll roll Bonti through there as a chop out as well.

Could be a career defining game for Campbell. Match committee have stuck with him and given him the main role in a big game. Let's see how he handles it.

I think we'll do enough to get the points today.

I've been working all morning plumbing the bathroom and haven't finished. Haven't been able to take a shower. But since I'm surrounded by Collingwood fans........


Dogs by 4 goals and a cheeky behind

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

No late changes, yay Wallis.

Not a fan of Grant sub to be honest, would've thought it had to be Dale.

 

[Dogsman16]

We get to see a full game from Biggs which I am happy about.

Shut down fasolo and they won't kick a score. They have gone super tall as well, have to take the game on and cut them open.

I like this from Bev, hes picked an undersized yet very pacey team, trying to force us to recapture our attacking flair. I for one am a fan.

This b

Spindle sub.

this been confirmed?

 

[jackb_93]

Su

this been confirmed?

Certainly has.

 

[bresker]

Think Spindle's could be a good sub myself, he adds something different which is what you want

GO DOGGIES

I'm outa here

 

[Roscoe_au]

This will be the acid test on some of the fringe players today. Confident we'll get up, but today will prove who will still be with us in a couple of months.

Come on Dogs!!!

 

[fronkalicious]

Relying heavily on guys like Dale, prudden, Daniel and campbell to run out a full game. Risky, but that's how the drink rolls.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

White or Moore to kick a bag? Relieved Wally is playing. Really need to win this game. Not confident but on my way in. Come on boys, make my day!

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I'm tipping a couple of scary moments where it looks like they can expose our lack of height but then we overrun them and win comfortably.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Want a big game from Crameri

 

[Wizard17]

Want a big game from Crameri

Want a big game from Daniel

 

[_Mike_]

Not confident coming in to this game.. Unless we've stepped up a few notches - if we continue to play like we have the last month we will get beaten

Moore kick a bag?
The kid can barely get a proper touch right now. He's probably going to be good, but watching him the last 2 games he kind of looks like a lesser Bont. Gets to the ball but is a step too slow at the moment.
