Squiggle tips Lions at 64% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
It'll be interesting to see what they do with the backline because we've always only played 7 defenders, and having 8 with shorter quarters makes little sense. You'd suggest that one of Daniel, JJ or Williams will have to play further up the ground to help the mids.The team balance here is so weird, even by Bevo's standards
It seems like we have 1 forward and 1 backman too many whilst not enough mids.
Backs:
Gardner
Cordy
Keath
Wood
Crozier
JJ
Daniel
Williams
Maybe JJ will play more on the wing?
Forwards:
Bruce
Naughton
Lloyd
Dale
Cav
Young
Wallis?
Inside Mids:
English
Bont
Macrae
Dunkley
Smith
Wallis to play more mid maybe?
Outside Mids:
Hunter
Maybe Suckling wing and half forward with Smith but then who's gonna chop out our big three in the middle
Very strange. No doubt the reduced quarters play into it. Maybe Our starting 4 in the midfield are comfortable with playing majority of game time so we're focusing on flexibility at either end.
CongratulationsMy misso just gave birth to Scrag Jnr today so we will be watching the game tonight at the Royal Women's. Strange times to be welcoming a new human into the world. Hoping the boys can get a win tonight for this new Doggies fan.

There’s zero chance Gardner’s playing purely as part of his development.
We aren’t talking about dead rubbers in a 22 round season, this is Rd1 of a shortened season. Whether we’re confused by his inclusion or not, the coaches obviously see Gardner’s role in the team as being pretty important.
Gardner was good in the practice match. He's probably our best option for tonight, as Cordy doesn't have the reach, and this way Keath is freed up to intercept. A good team defence will stop Cox, all you need to do is block his run and he won't have any impactI haven't seen any of the pre season games but did Gardner's form suggest he would be a good match up for Cox tonight?

Sorry to intrude, do you guys expect Cavarra to make way for Lipinski next week?
Next week... next week... will there be a "next week"?Sorry to intrude, do you guys expect Cavarra to make way for Lipinski next week?
We're going in VERY tall this week, so I would actually expect one of Gardner or Young to make way if anything. Depends on how everyone plays really.Sorry to intrude, do you guys expect Cavarra to make way for Lipinski next week?
When we win tonight and end up on top of the ladder Sunday evening, the AFL should just call it a season and declare us the Premiers.
Nah, the AFL would probably call us Bulldogs, Western for draft purposes.Even better than doing the ladder in alphabetical order which would give us the first draft pick.
If we can celebrate Caverra's debut, surely we can get behind Gardner who's had a bumpy road on his AFL journey.If Gardner's in our best 22, irrespective of team balance, to quote Sargt Schultz: "I know nothing."
Footy supporters generally - and BF supporters in particular - make their mind up pretty quickly about players. One horror game in an unsuited role last year and he's obviously a spud who shouldn't be on our list. A WB (Whipping Boy) for life.If we can celebrate Caverra's debut, surely we can get behind Gardner who's had a bumpy road on his AFL journey.

Honestly I never thought he had a chance at KPF, he's just not suited to the role. He was forced to play there, and as such had two utter dogshit games and that's all that is burned into our minds now. He deserves a shot to prove himself without unfair judgement. If he's just as crap down back, then at least we know he was given a shot (like Honey before him)Footy supporters generally - and BF supporters in particular - make their mind up pretty quickly about players.

Now I'm not at all convinced yet that he'll have a long and successful career but let's at least give him a few games in defence to see what he's got to offer. Nor am I saying Bevo gets it right every time but so many here seem to know far better than twice coach-of-the-year Bevo that I wonder why they aren't all coaching AFL sides.
