Game Day Dogs v Suns @ Darwin

[Bulldog Brent]

Game day! Really looking forward to tonight's game - hard to believe it's been 10 years since we last played in the Top End.

 

[weltschmerz]

These two.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Hannan not playing vfl so he’ll be sub

 

[doggies ftw]

Hannans sub vomit

This game is honestly season defining right now, cannot afford to drop it - confident but nervoussss

 

[ScottyDogg]

I don’t mind Hannah as sub, he’s versatile. Just never want to see him in the actual team ever again.

Will be good to see what McNeil can bring to the table.

 

[geoffjennings79]

I'm not a Hannan fan, but if Bevo thinks he's best suited to sub, so be it.
In Bevo we trust (most of the time!).

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I'm fine with Hannan as sub. But feel a bit nervous generally - we can't just keep winning can we.

 

[bobs head soup]

Reckon the player we'll all be talking about is Arty Jones. His assuredness and handling in slippery conditions has been a revelation.Tonight sets up for something big.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Think this one might be closer/ harder than people think. The Suns are decent and a good contested team, so the conditions will suit.

Another road trip isn’t ideal but hopefully we grind it out.

Witts is an absolute beast as well, hopefully Timmy can impact around the ground as he will get smacked in hit-outs

Yeah he is. Have no doubt we are the better side, but can’t afford to take them lightly. Massive opportunity with the Saints dropping a game.

 

[ScragCity]

We're in the 4 if we win this

3rd if Richmond beat Port and we make up percentage, but anyone would take being 4th at this stage of the year

Yeah all the favourites losing this round just hope we do not continue the trend.

 

[lachy]

Both an opportunity whilst a hard game given the opposition and heat

Hannan cannot handle dry ball how is going to go with a slippery ball.

 

[Dazb86]

Huge game now

 

[Dogs Rule]

That's the thing. Saints and Demons have thrown the door wide open. We usually... not going to say it, but just win Dogs.

 

[St 07]

more nervous about this game than last years final

Let walk through that open door.

More anxious about this game because of the conditions in Darwin. Conditions make for weird games

Remember when we used to gift games to our fringe Indigenous players in Darwin just to have a presence there? Refreshing to go up there with 3 bona fide best 22 this time

Was listening to Lade talk about the conditions.

Apparently the slippery conditions up here aren't from the humidity, which isn't too bad this time of year, but the sweat from the players dripping onto the ball.

 

[dergert]

Come on dogs.

It's going to be a tough one!

 

[dergert]

Sydney, Hawthorn, Freo all won against better opposition.

GWS are stretching Geelong too right now.

Has an "upset round" feel about it.

Turn the tide dogs!

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Need to be careful with handball and kicks tonight. Both need to be weighted rather than with force with the slippery ball. Clean ball handling will be important come Bont show your class.
