Preview Changes vs GWS (Elimination Final)

[Doggies7]

I wish Dickson was playing, would really like having him up fwd in a final, especially kicking for goal. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a late change with Dicko lining up Saturday...

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Lids is 12 days younger than me. I certainly wouldn’t want to play against Bont or his brigade of early 20s beasts

Some are very underdone also. They know their second tier players aren’t good enough so they’re going all in with a group that may not be 100%.
Will work in our favour

We did that in 2016. Worked ok for us

They're not getting past week 2 though

Im preparing my post game melt template blaming it on Beveridge's selections.

Ballsy selections from beveridge.

Cannot say i am going into this game as confident as i was in 2016.

This is the match that ends Dildo's career. And he knows it.

Youngest side in the comp in round 23 and going in unchanged is certainly ballsy to say the least, must be one of the youngest finals sides in a while. Would love to see some stats on that.

You were more confident going in to the West Coast final than you are this week?

 

[Dog 36]

The no changes suggests to me that Bev and the club wanted to make the top 8 to get a finals game into some young players Smith, Young, West, Lipinski, Naughton, etc

Very inexperienced side for a home and away game let alone a finals.

 

[ThirdLegUp]

Would have liked Dickson in the squad, plays well in finals and has the wood and mental game over Heath Shaw

Sorry, i meant against gws in the 2016 prelim.

West coast had me shaking in my boots in 2016, but once we got past them i was confident that our side could match it with the remaining sides.

Go dogs.

 

[ExRoyboy]

And even worse 24 hours later

Hahaha you’re right.... with the footy on tonight it felt like it was Friday. Bugger, that means I have to go to work tomorrow

 

[Distinctive_]

Jesusss i would’ve thought dicko would be a definite in.
His avg of 3 goals per final is insanely good, as unlucky as it gets

Still has Sam Reid in the side. Amazed he’s still getting a game.

Query our undersized backline and no Trengove support vs Mumford.

But about West? WooHoo! Doesn't get a game for most of the year, now playing in an AFL final!

 

[Braybrook Son]

Beveridge is so unusual with his team selections. Not in a negative way at all, but he drops West after his first game which was solid. But then keeps him in over Dickson in an elimination final, when Dickson is always one of his first picked. Choosing to keep Young in the team over Trengove when he left him in the VFL all year takes some huge stones.

I love it because it's great for future development etc and the match committee know a hell of a lot more than me, but just so unusual compared to what most other coaches would do. I've given up trying to guess the changes at this point haha

I reckon we’ve kept West in for a bit of campaigner

Sydney Saturday forecast: 11 - 20 degrees. Partly cloudy. Winds westerly 35 to 50 km/h.

Those strong winds will be blowing across the ground. Will that help us? The advantage of their superior foot skills may be reduced. More chaos balls for us?

That is not Bevs style, he will picking the side he thinks is the best chance at winning and making a run for it.

 

[Dogsman16]

Interesting that for a team that doesn’t have great defensive pressure, GWS have chosen 8 talls in comparison to our 5. It’s a fair discrepancy.

Cameron, Himmelburg, Finlayson, Taylor, Mumford, Davis, Haynes, Corr

Naughton, Schache, English, Young, Cordy.

 

[The_torpedo]

Bit nervous about this one TBH. Obviously big placement of faith from Bevo in the kids with going in unchanged.

Also worried about dickhead Greene. God I hope he gets an aboslute bath

 

[maddog37]

Big nuts Bevo

 

[Triple Baileys]

Looks like the changing of the guard with Dicko not being selected.

 

[Testekill]

If there's one player that will make Shaw lose his mind, it's West.

 

[DognBones]

There are 10 players in the team that are playing their first final. Has Crozier played in one? If he hasn't that's 11.

Played in 2 finals in 2014.

Conspiracy Theory:

Tomlinson dropped as he will be signing with the Dogs in the off-season...
