Game Day Rd 7 - Dogs @Optus

[Wray27]

No, still available. Not my tickets, I'm still going, just extras I have from somewhere else.

I have one I can’t get rid of also

On a positive note, how good is the weather this afternoon! Perfect night for football.

I was very nervous before last weeks bouncedown, but feel good about this game.
The Bulldogs made us look bad last year in Perth by smashing us in Contested footy and inside50s.
Having Fyfe back in the middle will help us out there. And we have 4 inexperienced field umpies so we have a chance of our home crowd reversing last week's bad fortune.

We will need to maximise our chances in front of goals. That could easily be what could beat us and be the defining difference. I am hoping our extra pace this week will allow us some better delivery in to our forwards.

 

[mattis117]

Bont has absolutely killed us in recent games, really hoping we quell his influence better tonight.

Hoping Chapman instantly improves our transition from defence. Probably asking too much though.

Is Freddy a late out?

 

[mattis117]

Is Freddy a late out?

Sturt is an emergency, so he would warm up regardless.

Sturt is an emergency, so he would warm up regardless.

Thought I saw Freddy wearing the black shorts, the other players in purple. Hopefully wrong?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Think we’ll lose another close one, to grind more salt into the wound.

Can we score more than 2 goals in the first quarter tonight?

 

[Wray27]

Sub should have been announced.

 

[Deathly]

[MadEyeEmmy]

What an evening for it

 

[DeanS]

I can never understand why supporters get upset that a player is sub for his debut. I’m sure Simpson is just rapt to be named.

Because it's predictable. Only we like sub debuts. Coaches are terrified.

 

[mike91]

Libba out is huge. Daniel as sub, so hopefully no injuries to the dogs so he doesn't come on

Simpson as sub is soft af

 

[hoss]

We only ever seem to use our sub for someone on debut or our 23rd player picked.

Let’s F^%#ing go Freo

It's about setting standards.

We should be getting a new look at the forward-line with Simpson and Voss starting. JOM should have been sub. Or Walters should have been sub and came on and gone into the middle.

My thoughts. We’re petrified of taking a risk and instilling our young debutant with confidence. More happy to tread water by starting JOM. Blegh.

 

[Randomizor]

Simpson sub? Sack JL already

 

[Righteo]

Simpson sub

Never in doubt.

That seems pretty normal, no?

It's not as if they've picked Voss as sub in his first game too

And will need to find his feet in the 3rd or 4th quarter, with potentially the game lifted in intensity and the game on the line.

Btw most other clubs don’t sub their debuts

 

[Purple Jesus]

Boring and predictable.
