Analysis Changes vs Swans 2/7/16

[CaptainMurphy]

In the practice match at Punt Rd last year, I said Koby was pathetic and miles off. I think he was in the votes 2 weeks later

Stop talking up Boyd then!

 

[Testekill]

Doggies fans at the game need to start a "CLAY SMITH, BOMAYE" chant.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I don't think playing seconds guarantee's the ACL somehow. He has done it in both knee's at both levels - kill someone Clay!

Two too many apostrophes - but I agree with the sentiment

 

[dergert]

Most excited for Webb!

 

[Libba39]

I get why they're doing it.
Probably won't win this week so not a bad idea to set our lineup and get these blokes back to their best.
Must echo the thoughts on Clay though. Will be shitting myself on every contest.

Couldn't disagree more. Wood and JJ back, clay and webb tearing it up at vfl level, and the scg suits minno's suburban oval style. I reckon we're a big show.

Half those players are underdone including Clay who was being managed in his last VFL match. Not confident.

Indeed. Thanks for pulling me up. I have noticed my punctuation and writing in general has gone to shit in recent months. A sign of the times? We all need to re-read our posts before we press 'post', goddamit, we all need to change....

 

[Deadly Darcy]

So excited with the ins. No point leaving Clay in the 2's in my opinion. He was born to play seniors and he only knows one way to play anyway; rabid-crazed-attack-dog. If he is going to have any more setbacks they are just as likely in the 2's and at least in the 1's he is playing on the best quality surfaces around. Webb is massively deserved, JJ and Easton just make the team look soooooo much better on paper and even at 70 percent have enough X factor in each of them to massively upgrade our unit.

Mostly though, after the absolute shitfight that the cats game represented, I'm just stoked we drew a line in the sand and dropped 4 people for cause. Others probably deserved it as well but a definate statement has been made here. Can't wait for the game.

Kill 'em dogs.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

The in's this week would have to be the best bunch of in's we have had for the last decade...
Finally we go into a game with some real physical presence in the middle with big Will.
Our on-ballers are licking their lips thinking about it.

Rapt that Webb is in as well.

 

[doggies ftw]

Wowwee, love the ins! Perfectly suited to the ground and opposition too.

One of the best teams weve fielded in ages. A hungry, reborn Minno could be a huge surprise bonus out of nowhere.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Big effort by the foot soldiers to hold the fort, but it's time to get back to our best.

Love these ins

 

[BEaston]

So pumped for CLay!!!

 

[Hard Ball Get]

On clay... you're no less likely to do a knee playing AFL than VFL. Fitness is the only issue and obviously they are satisfied.

This. If it's meant to be, unfortunately it'll happen again whether its VFL or AFL.

So pumped. Just wish this was a home game, I'd definitely attend. Massive ins.

 

[Gareth_]

Unleashing Webb to the AFL as an inside beast. Get around him!

Couldn't be more pumped with JJ clay wood in, we're a chance now.

Dunkley unfortunate. Hopefully back next week.

 

[Pugz89]

Shattered i won't be there now. But moving for a new job is slightly more important i guess.

 

[ossie_21]

RIP Callum Sinclair

 

[giblj]

Had to switch the avi to Clay getting stuck into a pie in honour of the occasion.

 

[TempleKelvington]

Good ins, big question mark on them all being cherry ripe though. Bit worried we rushed a couple in too soon and how that will play out not just for this game but the season. So wrapped for Clay. On paper best side since round 4 perhaps?

 

[go you pups]

Very inside heavy we are

If we don't win the midfield battle then it could be a long day

 

[ThirdLegUp]

have to admit my initial reaction to seeing Clay named was to hit the fricken roof in joy... but i haven't commented and to be honest, i've been in a bit of a malaise... i'm shit scared is what i am saying.

great to see JJ back also, didn't see that coming either.

Clay will give his all. Don't be surprised to see him vomiting on the ground! Also, SCG is quite small. Neither he nor JJ will have to cover as much space.

 

[Roscoe_au]

Remember seeing Webb in his first year and thinking "young Luke Hodge" so wrapt he's finally in the seniors after some good form in the 2's.

Will be heart-in-mouth stuff everytime Smith goes near the ball.

Apart from Bob and Dahlhaus, think this is as good a side we have available.

Just worry JJ and Wood being a little underdone, but they'd be wasted in either the 2's or not playing at all.

Agree entirely. Parker and Hannebery get 30 and we could lose by 10 goals.

I'm worried about our spread

JJ, Suckling, Biggs and Daniel will be heavily relied on

Hopefully Hunter and Macrae impact the game positively also
