Squad for Western Bulldogs game

[MeeSo]

I keep asking this but Jake Edwards injured still? or not ready to play senior footy? Has he played VFL at all?

He's been playing in the VFL practice matches.

 

[Beagle_Charlie]

Is S.O'Halphin injured? i would have thought he would be in our best 22

 

[Eddie19]

He's been playing in the VFL practice matches.

Did he do well

 

[Kooley]

I see it like this.

Half back flank on the right opponent : yes
Midfield : stop with the jokes please
Forward : see midfield

Playing him in any other position that on the 3rd or 4th tall forward is not going to work. He cant kick very well and is slow for his size. He plays well and someone of similar size who is not that quick. But he can adjust to that if he is not drragged back to full back. He will give us an edge with his reading of the play, his very good spoiling and his desire to help out other defenders.
In short he will get goals kicked on him on the half back line but also save goals and provide a steady defensive influence down there.

He is not the future in my opinion but I am happy for him to get games as long as it is on the half back line. Edwards, Flint are not ready. Russell is just about and he can take the really quick med/small forward. Teague can take the mid sized (185 to 190) forward. AW can move out to the wing.

Trying to turn Teague into a "defensive forward" or one of the rotations in the midfield is just going to end up ruining his fragile confidence. Let him succeed or fail where he plays his best football.

always good to see you put a positive spin on things Mojo but if i read you correctly david has a very bleak future at the blues and IMO has become one of the most irritating players to watch.

It's a full Bulldogs side, and we're not winning.

 

[Dry Rot]

It's a full Bulldogs side

Agreed.

Whatever happens in this game, we're playing a side damned close to what is expected in Round 1.

Is there a reason why we haven't been kicking over 100 points this pre-season? Towards the end of last year we seemed to be acheiving that score quite easily.

Are we back to our old flooding ways?

Thats a suprise. Any other info on the game (stats, goal kickers etc)?

They're only practice matches. You can't really read anything into them.

Eddie kicked three in the third apparently. Fish has kicked a couple. There really isn't much info on the game at present.

 

[Dry Rot]

Bloody small forwards - always trouble us.

Do you know who was playing on Betts?
