Prediction Changes vs Dees round 19

[Bulldogs Legend]

Are the flipping the fixtures due to the belief restrictions will be lifted by Round 20? If so that seems quite ambitious

Not really only 12 cases today so fingers crossed people do the right thing and we will get it under control like we did a month back

 

[Doggy]

Would be pretty unlucky to play the Dees this week if Wood and Martin are still a week away.

#Melbourne luck

If we end up playing Melbourne Friday night having Dunkley back (albeit at 80% as he works his way back), will help if the Dees try to tag Libba again.

Yeah but no Martin hurts.

Might have had him next week ..

Have to wonder why Schache isn't being trailed at both ends this year at least for depth is case of injuries. Could only improve his game. Not saying it will work, yet worth a try. What if Keith and Young get injured?

 

[Martyn_30_]

Looking at the fixture it doesn't make any sense to not play Adelaide this week given Port just came here and if its changed two Melbourne teams will be playing in Adelaide under the harsh lead in restrictions.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Yeah but no Martin hurts.

I don't want Martin coming back off old man injuries like an achillies and groin to go up against Gawn. If we neutralised Nic Nat we can neutralise Gawn/Jackson.

No Dunkley. Forced into 14 day quarantine because he bought coffee from a Tier 1 cafe.

Gee the Dees will be blessed.

Makes no sense. All dogs, Suns, gws and swans players should be doing it then.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Wonder if there’ll be a snap bye weekend. Just sucks enormously we play the Dees in this situation.

They've been kissed on the dick all year.

Could Melbourne be more kissed on the dick this year?

 

[Bulldogs85]

It’s going to be great when we beat Melbourne in a final with our full strength team

 

[bobs head soup]

If we can get to finals with a couple of games into Treloar, Dunks, Wood, Martin,VDM, all with fresh legs and no further injuries, I fancy our preparation over Melbourne who have played all their keys all year. Already showing signs of tiredness for mine.

Sometimes seeming bad fortune can be a blessing in disguise.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Bugger it, I don’t care who we have out, bring on the Dees. They were absolute s*** on Saturday. Yes, we weren’t brilliant, but they we’re selfish and played like millionaires.

Lots of ground ball for our forwards, Cody could have a field day.

 

[grassman75]

Will be interesting to see where this game is played.

SA Gov will want the Crows to fly in and out. Being in Ballarat really complicates that.

Can see it being moved to Melbourne. If they move it to SA and make us fly in and out it would be pretty bad.

Ballarat has an airport...30 Cessna's should get it done

 

[grassman75]

Yeah not sure why they wouldn’t have scheduled it like the old days where you play everyone once first before playing second games just in case a situation occurs where rounds are missed.

But its the AFL and its been run inadequately for years and should come as no surprise.

If they'd done that, they could release a whole new fixture for the second part of the year. Although they would probably be accused of bias, particualrly if you had an easy run then suddley copped four top 6 teams or similar

 

[murphy's twin]

I looked at the rounds ahead.

Basically it looks like if we loose to Melbourne this weekend, we will end up 3rd and play Melbourne again in the first final at the G. Don't forget Melbourne play the cats down at Geelong at the last round...

If we win this weekend then there is a good chance we finish on top and play one of the interstate sides - Port/Sydney/Brisbane at the G

Either way i wouldn't stress over it.

Well looks like Libba will be in as a straight swap for Dunkley.

Does his 14 days start from today, or from when he attended the cafe? If the latter, he might be right to go for the Dees

From attendance of site.. misses this week only which is slated to be Melbourne after the fixture gets changed

Started the day he was at cafe. 14th July.

Dees likely opponent this week. Swapped with Crows. Still TBC though.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

There must be a realistic chance this round is paused for one week so many spot fires. They still have the bye round up their sleeve.

Where is this talk of changing the fixture coming from? Its not as simple as swapping 1 or 2 games and if you start changing more you run into the same problem you are trying to avoid.

e.g. If we play Melbourne in round 19 instead of 20, Adelaide would need to play Hawthorn in Round 19 instead of 20 as well. That results in the same issue

Sounds like they’re keen to push ahead if at all possible. Reckon it would just about take a club not being able to field a team before they call the round off
