Strategy Changes vs Doggies

[MIKE85]

I'm gunna trust Simmo on this one. Everyone was calling him crazy lat week for not playing Bareass, but that worked out ok. We played a fair chunk of the second half with no Schofield too, so he's seen how it can work. If we win the midfield, then it won't matter. It'll be like that Cats game, Hawkins killed us when it went forward, but they had like 30 inside 50's, so it didn't matter. With Nic back, I reckon Simmo is backing the mids in.

 

[Mutt]

I think if you fly him over we'll bring Barrass in. Maybe that was the plan all along?

I'd be staggered if Tom Boyd plays on Sunday.

I'm sure that dogwatch won't mind me quoting him from our board, but here's who you are playing:

Legend:
Dark blue: > 100 games (2) or age > 30 yrs (2)
Light blue: 50-99 games (7) or age 25-30 (4)
Orange: 20-49 games (7) or age 20-25 (13)
Green: Rookie graduate or 0-19 games (6) or aged under 20 (3)

That's 15 players with less than 55 games experience and 16 players under the age of 25.

Oh, and the coach has only 19 games experience as senior coach too.

 

[Matera LeNui]

I'm not going to lie. I'm expecting Natanui to absolutely obliterate Campbell. Backline shouldn't be an issue

 

[javaguice]

Lecras more midfield. Newman fwd. mcginnity sub ?

Anyone know how Muzza's fwd pressure has been for Royals?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

It is official - Barrass has slept with Simmo's wife

Simmo has seen that Ashley Madison file.

 

[Crimson King]

Like Newman coming in. Hopefully, he isnt the sub as would like to see what he can do playing most of the game.

 

[javaguice]

Not before Craig Turley did!

Wasnt that a young Christie he nailed? She was like 18 & he was about 30....

 

[flyinghi64]

We need to shut down on the Bont.

100% their most important player.

He is the key to the Dogs winning.

We need to keep him under 10 possessions.

Everyone I am playing in DT has him and I don't. He is the difference.

 

[Crimson King]

Yeo head to head with Bont. Make it happen, Simmo.

 

[Mancey]

 

[kaiserchief13]

Yep, he might not be a very popular name but he is a big boy...

Everyday is upper body day?

 

[MWPP]

Bold , left -field decisions from our usually conservative club
I'm surprised but I back our team and selections
No key defenders though ..:s

 

[Suma Magic]

Very interesting team selections. Think we can expect this:

Bennell Sheppard Ellis
Wellingham Hurn Rosa
LeCras Priddis Gaff
Hill Darling Sheed
Cripps Kennedy Sinclair

Naitanui Yeo Shuey

I: Nelson Hutchings McGinnity
S: Newman

Rosa half back
LeCras mostly midfield

Although maybe I've started with the fact that I want Yeo to play midfield and worked backwards from there.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Redpath is big, but from what I've seen of him he's a leading forward, not really the type to wrestle and take contested marks. Mofra can you confirm if that's the case?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

In Simmo we trust.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

It is official - Barrass has slept with Simmo's wife

Hope it was worth it...

Simmo might have some issue with Barrassment like he did with Bennell last year. If he is not ready for AFL why did he play him vs GC & Sydney? Less important games or no dangerous opposition talls?
Funny how we went from playing up to 4 tall defenders in the last 2 years to no tall defenders at all.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

So here it is. The culmination of Simmo's future innovation...

No tall defenders.

Soon the AFL will be revolutionised by having one Naitanui and 17 guys around 185cm on the field at all times.

Quite funny coz last year it was the opposite

 

[Smeg Head]

Troy Pannell is a big in for the dogs.

We were the younger side last time we played, And will still be a young side this game too, Bulldogs have quietly built a strong young side it's about time and good to see !

 

[Big Cox 88]

Obviously simmo is saving our kpd for finals given the constant injuries back there. His theory must be curses are lifted during finals

 

[EagleShore]

Big call leaving Barrass out but I guess Simmo is trying out a full game with an undersized defence given that this could be a competitive advantage come finals time...though hopefully we have Gov and Schoey fit for finals.

This week I guess the no Tom Boyd factor has weighed in.

 

[Mutt]

We were the younger side last time we played, And will still be a young side this game too, Bulldogs have quietly built a strong young side it's about time and good to see !

Two players only with more than 100 games - we are young.

The whole footballing public is looking forward to this game. God I hope we don't bugger it up and embarrass ourselves....

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Our backline of late deserves double pay !!

We are down our first 4 KPP and only have one available in the mix a 2 game 19 year old yet even if he got injured and we had no one left over 190 cm Silvagni still wouldn't be able to get a gig if he was on our list

 

[Mutt]

Redpath is big, but from what I've seen of him he's a leading forward, not really the type to wrestle and take contested marks. Mofra can you confirm if that's the case?

Redpath doesn't play tall - your description is spot on

Sorry for answering for Mofra ,but it is already well into the evening here on the east coast, so Mofra will already be shitfaced and incapable of turning his computer on by now....
