Will this week

With no fwd line? Your defence must be woeful.

Himmelberg? Sproule? Greene?

Himmelberg? Sproule? Greene?

Greene, as awesome as he has been, has been playing more midfield.

We have neither of the Jezzas so HH has to be the only tall.

That didn't work out so well last week when we just had Jezza.

Sproule isn't best 22.

 

[Outback Footy]

Track work people's.

Buses replace trains between;

Waterfall and Central

There is also changed timetable and running for the Blue Mountains Lines, Western Lines and Inner West Lines as buses replace trains between Granville and Strathfield.

Please note you will need to leave your train as all these service will continue to the city via the Bankstown line.

If you are coming from the City there are direct services from Central to Olympic Park.

Thanks General, as a bumpkin I have no idea what that means, I usually park at Granville and train it from there to Lidcombe(I think), then to Olympic Park, whats the go for sunday?

 

[Giant Pete]

I don’t necessarily mind if we lose this one, as long as we show the right mentality and effort.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Sproule is in to debut.

Probably best to try and see if you can park at Oly Park. (Ring one of the parking stations to prebook.)
If you park at Granville you can get a bus to where you need to go instead of a train.


If you are coming from town there at direct train services from Central to Olympic Park station.

... and Sproule. Although unlikely Sproule gets the debut w/o a mid-week announcement.

You were saying?

No more 2 rucks

Keeffe will have that relief ruck role, which isn't a huge improvement in my mind. But at least this is better than Mummy, Simpson and Keeffe all in the team.

Little surprised at the way we went here - Corr straight back in after such a long layoff (and are they hinting at possibly using him forward?). Sproule to debut in place of the second slow ruck is a good move in my book, but slightly surprised. Happy to have Caldwell with another game. I probably would have preferred another mid in place of Stein - we're still pretty tall everywhere. Eh, it is what it is.

 

[dlanod]

A lot of defenders... Nine by my count. Wonder if we swing Keeffe up forward again and act as the spare ruck.

 

[Determinant]

One of the best

 

[Gigantic]

That's awesome. Congrats to Sproule. Happy for him

 

[Giant Strides]

Yes, love the emotion. Hopefully some of that is on show on Sunday.

 

[fridgeman]

Well deserved debut for Sproule and hopefully he plays well, gets a goal and a gatorade shower although imo the last is very unlikely
Surprised with the in of Corr after about 10 weeks since his last game and only 2 in the seniors for the year but he is a highly talented player and he can manage his game time in the forward or back line
And not sure how much impact kelly and MDB can have on their comeback games but again hopefully no more injuries to lead into finals

 

[Giant Pete]

We are too tall. This coaching team continually picks way too many tall players.

 

[Giant Pete]

Bulldogs have 5 or 6 talls, we have 9.

 

[Adroyo]

I was at the game last Friday night. Couldn't feel my legs all night but the crowd was pretty good. Shithouse game though.

Hi there. Can I ask who all the talls are for you?

For us they are:

Naughton
Schache
English
Cordy
Trengove
plus Bontempelli if you want to include him at 193cm.

We have some tall mids but otherwise mostly small to medium flankers.
