[caesar88]

As a matter of interest, did Mr Squiggle predict us having a 90+ win over WC last week?

Mr Squiggle is a dickhead

Nah. They never predict those wins, but they never pick those losses either.

likely to come back in after being a late withdrawal from North match. Which makes sense, shores up their defensive stocks. Dunkley, Martin & Easton Wood

also still out injured - as confirmed by Club.

 

[Maddhew]

When Reid returns surely he goes to defence to help the other talls plays that floater

Could be handy for those 2 weeks.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Just so we all know, the cute puppies have a +50% free kick ratio for the last few weeks. Clearly they apply the rules in a superior fashion to their opponents. We should all acknowledge that and not complain.

 

[Olian]

Despite him not actually umpiring in the 2016 Grand Final.
He was probably sitting in our cheer squad though hey?

You would have Stevic, Meredith and Jeffrey on speed dial awaiting the call up again.…

 

[Kiama Chris]

Nor Nichols. A Fotscray boy through and through. 2016 Grand Final confirmed that

2016 GF Umps were Stevic, Meredith Jeffery. No Nicholls.

 

[kelpie_X]

nup Boristown is a lolNorf flog

I laughed because that is just sad

 

[SM]

Macrae top 5 mid in comp imo

Not the last few weeks, very overrated.

 

[kelpie_X]

Warner is apparently still a week away due to his shin issue but if this is one game where I really wish we had him back for..

He'd thrive in this game

Sorry I though the campaigner umpire that one. Stevic and Meridith are bad enough.

Truth be told I have only watched a small handful of Bulldogs games this year so I am not sure what to expect.

Naughton out certainly helps. He's been a contested marking beast close to goal.

 

[Olian]

Not the last few weeks, very overrated.

Think Macrae has been solid all year. Looks like he runs around with his own footy based on these stats.
Most consistent player in the competition.

Yes he gets a lot of touches. He's been in my fantasy side for most of the year so I watch out for him pretty closely. He does next to nothing with the ball.

He’s elite in metres gained (ave 463m) and score involvements (ave 7.6 per game). In comparison probably our best performing mid, Mills is averaging 378 metres gained and 6.6 score involvements which are considered above average.

When Marcea gets the ball he uses it. Such is the Bulldogs midfield strength though that Bontempelli surpasses Macrae’s stats with ease.

He used to, hasn't as much in recent weeks.

Dees v Dogs.

Dees sent Harmes to Libba. Held him to 16 touches. Macrae had 36. Bont had 30. Dees win comfortably.

But Macrae is ELITE with his ball use! If he had it 36 times they must have won comfortably..

 

[caesar88]

I think we should just concede the midfield battle from the get go and just start 18 players in the defensive 50

Dees v Dogs.

Dees sent Harmes to Libba. Held him to 16 touches. Macrae had 36. Bont had 30. Dees win comfortably.

Bit more to it than that. They pinned Dogs to the boundaries and gave them SFA space. Goodwin d. Beveridge.

At Marvel Stadium too, the Dogs happy hunting ground.

 

[caesar88]

That Melbourne game showed that under manic pressure, the Bulldogs hyped midfielders are just like everyone else.

If we turn up and don't go into our shells, we are a red hot chance.
