Game Day Round 7 v Tigers

[Doggies_13]

Massive Friday night game for our team. Undefeated after 6 rounds up against the reigning premiers. Both sides have some injury issues to attempt to cover.

Key Match Ups:

Midfield v Midfield
Can our mids continue there domination in contested and uncontested possession or will the loss of Dunkley hurt us. The tigers are without a number of their first choice mids which could give us an even bigger advantage. Cannot underestimate them though especially with nankervis in the ruck.

Richmond Defence v Dogs forwards
Who takes naughton, Bruce and schache and can our forwards create separation and force the Richmond defence to compete 1v1. Can naughton have another break out game v the tigers. The tigers defence are experienced and hold their structure very well, our forwards will need to create space and apply pressure.

Key Questions:
Can Schache bring his VFL form to AFL level and fill the English hole this week?

Can our mids continue to dominate without dunks?

Will Hannan provide a point of difference up forward?

Prediction
Dogs by 13pts

So nervous about this game. Should we lose and go 6-1 it’d be hard to look at our start to the season with too much negativity but the just feels like such an important challenge. Champion but undermanned team with their backs against the wall. We can’t afford to drop our bundle!

God I love Friday night games.

I’d be shocked if that was the case. Would technically be counted as his first game! I’d say it will be next week against Carlton

I’m not sure there’s a place that serves pots or schooners of Baileys but let me know if you find a place

Hope you smash them.

My Lucky Meal has been ordered. Should arrive in less than an hour.

Mixed Grill Platter - Steak, two chicken wings, pork belly and beef ribs finished with world BBQ sauce. Served with chips and salad or mash and veggies.

I'm going all out tonight. Doggies, don't let me down!

Highly doubt the club will do that

 

[Bro_Pro]

If we are with them/ in front at quarter time I think we will win! They are going to come out at us hard.

I can't remember the last time that I have felt so nervous before a game. Oh, yeah, last week. I'm like this every week. Nothing is a certainty, well, except for that taxes and death crap. And I'm really trying my best to avoid the latter.

 

[glenashley]

Lol. JUH is medical sub.

 

[Wetdog]

I don’t think I can go back to that losing feeling. I’m hooked on winning now and I don’t want to give it up!

Go hard early. They will come at us from the first bounce.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Lol. JUH is medical sub.

That’s ****ed

[Doggies_13]

Cannot find the sub announced anywhere

I don't often post rumours but when I do, my source is generally spot on.

Not saying your not being truthful but would be unusual for him to be sub if he needs fitness as it means he misses a vfl game

 

[glenashley]

All good. I may be wrong. Just passing on info.

super useful if someone like Daniel goes down

VFL is tomorrow so I assume an unplayed sub would be able to play
