Strategy Changes vs Doggies

[SpaceClef]

Looks like the dogs will choose a seriously quick team. GC quicks made us look second rate. Should be interesting

Still haven't watched that game but surely our own arrogance made us look second rate. I refuse to believe we went into that game with the right mindset.

I thought we played a pretty side last week. Nic Nat in over Lycett is a big upgrade. Lecra in will add some class up front and in the Center.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

No way, they would/should be confident that they can push anybody. You don't get to fourth at this stage of the season with that mindset.

Not so sure of that.

Of their 13 wins, 11 have come at Etihad Stadium. Their 2 wins away from Etihad were Cairns and SCG - both small ovals.
They played Melbourne at the MCG (bigger like Subiaco) and went down by 39 points. Serious question mark against the Doggies away from the Docklands.

not sure if serious. Nothing pretty about Paddy McGinnity.

Haha..Quick side but surely you have to agree Mcginnity is pretty?

GC also had Lynch who was the difference and especially dominant for a tall considering the slippery conditions. Redpath/Boyd are not half the players (at the moment) that Lynch is.

Who hasn't?

/High five between Eagles and Dogs supporters.

Why did they drop Picken? Is he injured?

10/10 would bang, amirite? Guys?

Gu...guys?

Picken and M Boyd are both sore. They have a 6 day turnaround to the game after this one so they're resting sore players.

Do we know if Nic is back this week?

Matt Priddis says @RealNaitanui, Mark LeCras and Jamie Cripps will all play this week. Spoke to Nic today and was in 'good spirits'.

I listened to that last night on the way home, and he didn't say it as directly as "they'll all play" He said Lecca will come in, and that Nic was back at the club, in good spirits. He'd done a weights session, and had to do the main session today, and then he'd be up for selection. So he'll likely play, but he didn't straight out say they will all definitely play.

Not having a go, just relaying what he said, a little more acurately than 6PR have,

Why did I read that in Archer's voice?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Boyd and Picken out is a bonus. All those games at a rock hard Etihad catching up with the Doggies ay? Hopefully we'll avoid that place until 2016.

Why did I read it in Bob's from Bob's Burgers voice?

I hope Nic is well, for non football reasons

Yeah I thought it was something Bob would say compared to Archer haha.

bang with a shovel maybe..

 

[Mofra]

With Picken & Matty Boyd out we'll have a super young side - Rourke Smith off the rookie list, 7th debutant and 38th player we've used this season.

Going to be tough for us with two old dogs on the sidelines

How do you get sore after playing melbourne....

Is it true there's 10 players who were once rookie listed in your 22 this week? Or could there have been before any outs were announced? Seen it floating around somewhere and that's just ridiculously impressive recruiting.
