Unofficial Preview Round 16 Changes Dogs v WCE 6/9/20

[DognBones]

Gardner on either Kennedy or Darling will require me raising my mask to cover my eyes.

Surely Cordy and Keath take those 2 jobs.
Not looking forward to Natanui v English in the slightest.

I don't mind the selection of Roarke with rain forecast - he's proven in the past he can excel in these conditions. But damn we continue to select some pretty average players and make the same mistakes again and again. Add to that the ongoing ruck drama and I have to ask myself if we are going to be having the same post match gripe session about selections?

NicNat looms massively. Poor Timmy.

If we lose today, hopefully we use the last two rounds to give some opportunities to guys like Greene, Cavarra and Sweet.

Naitanui versus Dunkley with English providing brief chop outs.

I doubt Lloyd's been doing much tackling other, unless he's suddenly become a very different player.
Totally agree about Lloyd. He doesn't lay any tackles, he doesn't put any forward pressure on. He is an out and out front runner who loves kicking goals when the team are up and about and we play bottom of the ladder teams. However, when the team are struggling and need someone to step up he goes MISSING! He loves a 'junk time' goal or 2 and then saves his place in the team because he kicks a few 'junk time' goals. Surely we can find a better option than him.
Ben Cavarra had 5 tackles in his last match against Melbourne. One of the highest totals for the day apart from McRae, Dunkley and Libba. I would have thought for a 'small forward' that was a reasonable effort and deserved another opportunity.


We never use players in the positions they're named in. Check the amount of times Bailey Smith has been named to start on the wing compared to the amount of times he actually plays there.

If his job is to replace Vandermeer's role, they've both more or less laid about the same amount of tackles this season.

Don’t have to worry about Nic Nat. Hickey in.

 

[Southern 8]

Hopefully he doesn’t dominate ( Hickey). That would be depressing.

 

[Del203211]

No excuses Tim

 

[AltonaBoy]

Sounds kinda dumb but I’m a bit ambivalent about this game. Would be happy for a win but not too fussed with a loss.

Most likely too late to play finals anyway so hoping we use the experience to tweak our game.
