Game Day R17 - Western Bulldogs v Carlton at the 'G, 3:20pm

[dogwatch]

Ten things I want from this game...

10 Libba tackles
9 Lewis intercept marks
8 Stringer goals
+7 Free Kick differential (just to keep the debate going)
6 Angry men coming in support of JJ when he gets the usual treatment before the first bounce
5 WB goals each quarter
4 quarters of attractive footy with clean handling and smooth transitions
3 Brownlow votes for Bontempelli
2 or more players in the forward half when we rebound it (for a change)
1 comfortable percentage-building win, thank you very much

Oh and one more ... zero injuries if you don't mind!

Go Dogs!

You forgot the partridge and a pear tree.

 

[ScragCity]

I wonder if Lewy knows that the collective sanity of this board is in his hands today

 

[Easty]

Big feeling JJ plays a blinder today, and we win comfortably. Reckon we have had a tougher draw over the last month than anyone (including myself) has given us credit for and now the season opens up for us, even though we've left ourselves with plenty to do.

 

[TempleKelvington]

Just 4 things I want from this game......4 points.

 

[theburst]

I'd like us to nail those set-shots, and win the centre clearances(amazingly we're 18th in that stat)...Bob and JJ to have big games.

And another premiership box set for xmas

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Carlton playing much better football than we've played pretty much all year. Expecting them to win, knowing that, if we were ourselves, we'd win comfortably.

And another premiership box set for xmas

Is one copy to keep unwrapped?

 

[grassman75]

Is one copy to keep unwrapped?

No, a better one, where we come from 11th in round 16/17 to defeat, Geelong, Adelaide,GWS and Sydney over 4 weeks of the finals to go down as the greatest back to back premiership ever......feel free to wake me from my dream at any time

Late change for Carlton - Dale Thomas out - Liam Sumner in.

 

[TedDougChris]

Adopting an old favourite here. Hoping for the best, sadly very prepared for the worst....

I hate Sunday twilight games.

Bring back 2.10 sunday

 

[jdz101]

Surrounded by Carlton plebs in the long room. This day could either be awesome or terrible.

 

[Acwmr]

I just wanna see 4 quarters of 100% effort and some set shots go through.

 

[bullish23]

I'm with s few others. Can't see a reason why we should be confident. In fact I'm braced for the worst i.e. a dominant first qtr by the blues

 

[TommyD13]

Youngy rocking the long sleeve on debut... pretty confident

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Love the long sleeves.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Why oh why is Honeychurch getting a game?!

 

[DognBones]

It's bl###y cold so if we are turning up today we demand a fair dinkum effort.

 

[ScragCity]

Lewy Young bringing the Long Sleeve Energies today. Exciting. Young blood is powerful.

 

[bresker]

* I love the McG compared to Docklands so wish this was our stadium.

Sitting in the area below the ground floor seating sipping the worlds hottest cappacino, I burnt my tongue. They must have boiled the milk.

I hoping for a good game of football. No glaring umpiring mistakes.

Lets do this!
