Round 17: Western Bulldogs v. West Coast

[Prem87]

Its going to be a great game Friday night.

Which players are going to be out for the Bulldogs? I've heard that West, Hahn, Cross, Gilbee won't be playing, can anyone clarify this?

Good luck for the match, but Westcoast should win by 20.

why?? We are playing at a ground where our record is the worst in the AFL.

 

[Butane]

Hahn, Gilbee, Cross, Griffen, West?, Grant?, Morris? -

 

[westcoast wizard]

Our boys are not going to treat this like a walk in the Park one can only hope that they learnt their lesson against St Kilda, Bombers, Brisbane.

It will be a good game it doesnt matter who is out for the buldogs we have to be ready to front up and play. Rocket Eade is a GUN Coach and will have the dogs fired up.

Should be a cracker of a game.;

 

[Griffo66]

I reckon we will lose, I just can't see us getting up over WC with all our players out and WC back in form.

 

[rapidshave]

Not looking forward to it.

Only going cause I'm taking the missus because she wants to see West Coast play in Melbourne.

And because I have my reserved seating of course.

 

[Bulldog Banana]

I have a uneasy feeling about Friday night. After looking at the 2 teams over the weekend, we could get smashed.
With our outs, and WC back in form, as well as our confidence taking a battering and our inability to win clearances....it could be a long night

 

[ErnieSigley]

Cousins was welcomed back like a hero last night when he should have been a villian. I wish we beat them just to rub it in his smug face.

 

[boydsno1]

we could get blastered. i think grant will be in but we have way too many outs that will hurt. but im still keeping the faith...come on dogs

 

[Rule]

I'm trying to keep faith, but unfortunately i have a huge feeling that we are going to lose. Injuries look all to difficult for us to get up..

 

[pumpter]

West coast were awesome last night. Can't see how we can possibly be competitive on Friday night. Their midfield ran 3 times harder against the Swans than ours did against Geelong. Regardless of their form at the Dome, they will win convincingly. I would rate the Eagles defence better than Geelong's which will make it even harder to kik a competitive score. Friday nights game will further illustrate how far behind the top 4 sides we are.

 

[West Coast 06]

Cant believe we are playing you guys again, it just seems like a couple of weeks ago that we played at Subi (geez this season is flying past!)

I wouldn't say we were back in form, we have one win in a row!

Hopeful that we can get over you guys simply because our season depends on it. However I fully expect you to be up and firing after the loss to Geelong.

Heres to good umpiring, and no injuries for either side. Good luck.

 

[scottyijoe]

I just want a better effort put forward compared to last week. I just really want to see some heart. Some players hungry enough to get the ball themselves. Perhaps win a few clearances.

In saying that I think we have a slim chance. The boys will have to fire up for this week. They can't do worse. And I just feel that they all knew what they did last week was pathetic. They owe it to us and themselves to show what they really are capable of this season.

 

[Benno From Berwick]

West Coast by 39.5 points....

I will be having a couple of bucks on that....

 

[Dog 36]

Im going to ring the club on Friday around 4.00pm to see if we are going to roll up this week and if so what time we are expected to arrive.

 

[scottyijoe]

Looking around BigFooty it seems about 1/3 are giving us a chance to beat the Eagles. Many are talking about our good record at the Dome and the poor Eagles one. It makes me feel a bit better that a few outsiders have faith in us.

 

[kookadog]

two weeks ago WC got belted by 90 odd points
and we were going alright.
A week is a long time in footy.
Footy is a funny game..etc.

We'll win.

 

[St 07]

I was surpremely confident about Carlton, North, Geelong & Brisbane this year. So my ratio of warranted confidence is 1/4.......lol

No deal.

 

[rowey]

like a few ppl have said, im expecting the players to show some heart....but more importantly im expecting a win

surely surely the cats game is the last wake up call we need to get a move on and make finals...if you r half a dogs fan or hav a reserved seat like melol you will show up and give the boys another go

if the players see that the supporters have shown up and still have faith then maybe they'll have the same too

go dogs

 

[SCRAY72]

I predict the Dogs will have a RHG and come up short, about 20 points short.

Also predict the Hooray for Everything supporters will clap them off at the end of the game.

Interesting thought.

I was actually thinking about this not long ago. What would it take for our supporters to actually sledge / abuse the team & coach as they make there way down the race? Surely the Cats performance must have come close. I know if I had sat near the race I would said a few choice words.

 

[Butane]

I predict, we will win the first quarter. This will be hammered home so heavily this week that the players will have nightmares of first quarter blow outs all week. Dogs to lead by 6 points at 1/4 and lose by 11pts at full time. But, with more positives then negatives to come from this game.

 

[kookadog]

Our season is on the line this week. We will see what we are made of.

 

[Gooka]

We'll win by 32 points.
