Autopsy 2023 Round 8 – GWS Giants vs Western Bulldogs, Saturday, May 6, 7.25PM AEST, Manuka Oval

[Giant Strides]

It's going to be a chilly night in Canberra, with a chance of rain. So, dog weather, I'm afraid. Also, the rumours in relation to Toby Green being out with soreness; if true, he'll be a late out (I'm sure they'll give him as much time as possible). I'd expect Peatling to be his replacement, so perhaps Lloyd then as the sub. Everything's working against us in this one - Manuka is no longer fortness Canberra, we have a poor record in milestone games & this marks 50 for Conor Idun. So, can we swim against the tide and trounce the resurgent Bulldogs? If so, we need 4 quarters of footy from all 22 in the game. The mids in particular need to get on top of the much-heralded Dogs midfield, and the Sam Taylor

-less defence will need to #Stand tall against the Doggies' tall forward line.

I hope to see some of our Sydney fans in the audience - just be warned to rug up or be very cold!

Time to spayed some mutts.

Toby out would not be ideal

Just a teeny understatement.

Considering spayed is for female dogs or cats ... yeah, nah

But there is another big question over this match GG………. Will the other Toby bounce the ball ?

Hope he doesn't think that counts!

Market has us $2.57 underdogs (Bulldogs are $1.49) for the game. The club hasn’t said anything about Toby, so hopefully he will play

I don’t think they will say anything to be honest. They will have him as a last minute out. Bulldogs would have put a plan in place around him playing so if he is out last minute, it will mess up their structure a bit

They will keep them guessing IMO

He has supposedly been practicing

 

[fridgeman]

I think if Toby was in doubt they would have had another travelling emergency as Lloyd and Peatling are likely in Canberra with the team with 1 to be the sub and if Toby was out it could have caused an injury if another was out late in the warm up as the team wouldnt have had a sub unless Rowston was pulled at half time and drove straight to the airport or a helicopter to Canberra so unlikely (not sure on plane departures and if that was an option)

Now we need a Plan B

 

[Colonial]

Just hope Snooze bounces the ball this week.

 

[Colonial]

Kelly or Cogs Captain me wonders.

Either way we can still win this.

 

[sydney_gws]

Obviously a big loss, but it forces other players to lift. If we win, an even greater credit to the players.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Not a bad banner.
