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.
We had nine last week - but that includes Biggs (traded from Sydney) and Crameri (traded from Essendon).

Boyd, Picken, Morris, Jong, Campbell, Redpath and Dahlhaus were the others - with Rourke named and Boyd & Picken out we'll still have 8 this weekend.

Picken and boyd out will affect it.

Dale Morris, luke Dahlhaus, jason johannissen, Lin Jong, Jack redpath, tom Campbell all ex Bulldogs rookie list. Plus crameri and Biggs as ex rookies at other clubs

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 :(

Really enjoyed Picken's season this year. Really links up well.

Think he will be a bigger loss than Boyd personally

True - we have multiple HBF options, we're actually light on for genuine ball winning mids with Libba and Stevens out as well (Jong tries but doesn't find enough of the pill).
 
Really warmed to the Bulldogs this year. Nearly forgiven them for trying to kill Suma.
Making the journey to watch them this week. First time I'll see them live since Cuz's Comeback game in Melbourne, where a few Eagles fans did a pretty good job of drowning out the boos.

Potential changes for us from round 1:

Barrass for Brown - big win

Schofield for McGovern - slight loss

Darling for Lamb - big win

Hill for Masten - loss

Sinclair for Lycett - slight win

Bennell for Nelson - evens

Ellis for Selwood - win
I think losing EMac, Sinkers, MCLoven and Brown will slightly be obvious in our land of midgits back line.

Masten will be a real loss - Would have been great to see some of our injured kits in particularly Duggan

Selwood is crippled but may play I guess.

Not sure Cripps will play - a big loss if so

N Nat is an unknown

Is Schofield playing this Sunday? I thought he is out for 1-2 weeks.

Probably pumping up Barrass' tyres a bit much. 2 senior games. Like the look of him though, continued exposure over the next 12 months and he will go past Browny I reckon
 
For the dogs:

I'll have a crack, going off the team I posted a page back.

Hunter in for Honeychurch - win
Hrovat in for Picken - loss
Biggs in for M.Boyd - loss (though Biggs has been very good)
Smith in for Goodes - even
Campbell in for Minson - win
Daniel in for T.Boyd - even (hard to say win or loss since two completely different players, we will most likely play with one less tall this week which has worked a lot better imo. Would be fairer to compare Redpath to Boyd but Red played Round 1)
