Preview Changes vs The Lions

[dogzrule]

Zero chance we would be playing finals according to some posters last year

Me included

Not true. Those are the odds the sporting agencies offer to rip us off, so you cant base the true probability on that.

Yeah true, but that means the odds of it actually happening are a bit more than that (not less).

That would mean they are paying longer odds than are real. I.e. you are suggesting they are paying more out than the real possibility. The shorter the odds the more likely something will happen so why would they offer longer odds (will pay more if we achieve that goal) than is actually the likelihood of us achieving that goal? I think you will find they do the opposite.

Murph Morris & Boyd out!
Daniel, Goodes & Roberts in!

 

[Norm De Guerre]

General Soreness prefers not to leave the home barracks.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Oh boy. Goodes in.

(And Fletch and Daniel.)

 

[Pannalstaroz]

I hope the reasoning behind not bringing Tom Boyd in is that a Final is better for him than an easy hit out against Brisvegas. Redpath very lucky IMO. Happy to see Fletch and Caleb back. Goodes surely is maturity backup for the resting of the older ones. Who's captain? Roughy I guess.

 

[Super Hans]

Understand the outs, but do not understand Goodes coming in at all. I guess in reality that would of been Rourke if not for his acl.

 

[Super Hans]

Also pretty annoying that Redpath is still in over Boyd.

 

[Wizard17]

Goodes in.

Meltdown in 3, 2, 1

 

[Bulldogs_6]

Where is Tom

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Normally I'd forecast a big footy meltdown because of the Goodes inclusion but I see why it is even if no-one will admit it. It's a farewell game for him. Simple. Thanks for your efforts Brett, leave nothing out on the field and enjoy it.

 

[Dog Rising]

Probably wont see Toyd in the finals now

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I like Morris -> Roberts. Gets Fletch some match fitness, gives Moz a rest for finals, and gives Zaine another go. Love it.

A little concerned given the complete lack of experience in the side but hopefully we'll go okay. Will be interesting to see how we go.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Only Picken with over 100 games in the side. How freaking insanely awesome is that?

 

[dogwatch]

With 17 other MCs you would think so, but I'm not prepared to guess what this one will do.
If Bev really is playing for the long term I reckon some finals exposure for Toyd could be a chance.

I hope so too, but you'd think they'd give him a warm up game before throwing him to the wolves.

So everyone wants to see an out of form and confidence Boyd in a week out from a final , when the current forward structure has never worked better ?
I must be mad ?

Board has been meltproofed this year. At least on Thursday nights.

Don't you think a game against Brisbane might of helped his confidence? Sorry I'm not a Redpath fan unlike many others. Just my opinion, which I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to have.

Did all the Uranium go off during the preseason or something?

 

[Boof09]

Redpath running on empty petrol tickets last week, runs under the ball, doesn't offer much in the ruck, that is clearly why I am typing this and not on the match committee!

That's a fine old extrapolation from 2-3 posts KH!
Not sure if Toyd is the way to go but I disagree that our forward line has never worked better.

Out of form?
Have you been watching redpath?
