It is bizarre though how often one guy cops a cork.

Just spitballing, off the top of my head I don't think he often jumps into contests knee up, perhaps always jumping legs down means there's more target to cop one? Not sure if that's complete bollocks or not but there's got to be a reason why it happens.

Haven’t done the research to know which legs he’s copped them in, but I had a few bad ones and it’s possible that it’s more of a re-cork (i.e., he feels 100% but if it gets hit again it feels like he’s been shot).

we've a bottom 6 defense. The only time we seem to 'prevent opposition scores' is when weitering is fully fit. Don't think Ollie's providing much of anything that can't be improved defensively.

Disagree on our defence - it has often held up well despite us being spanked further up the field, including -20 inside 50’s.

The disappointing thing about the GWS game was we dialed up the effort & pressure in the 4th and kicked 5 goals to one.

We took our foot off the pressure peddle & it cost us the game.

That’s all they need to bring consistently.

Agree on Ollie - he’s a good kid with a big future - but he’s our weakest contested link.

 

[Dadda Dave]

Am I the only one who thought Ollie Hollands actually had a decent game against the Giants?

Sure he turned the ball over a bit, but some of our better players did it worse than him. He was also incredibly stiff on that high tackle call.

Would not be dropping him for this game. No clear alternatives that can replace his work rate and defensive smarts.

I reckon he works his arse off especially in the 3rd what I noticed

Buddy, when Fev should have as well

And that bastard clarkson flooded our forward line so he couldn't.
Another reason to hate clarkson besides battle of Britain

 

[Rustica]

with all due respect to the Dogs

We should win this one comfortably

Im saying nuthin, considering I put my massive foot in my mouth last week

Should and shall are two different words... But I also think a W...

 

[bradfisher14]

Absolute carnage in their injury update.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Weiters should ask Michael reeves of fitzroy for some advice. Long padded shorts could become the in thing

I thought that last week.

They need to bring it!

 

[Arr0w]

Dogs will have a similar mindset to GWS as they know their season is on the line

This time, we should be better prepared as long as our group have their head in the game

 

[JustOneTime]

I thought that last week.

They need to bring it!

After a 5 week run we just got a little ahead of ourselves so it was a risk. It was bound to happen like it has to Sydney.

We can still trust them.

This week with that loss Carlton will bring the right amount of pressure. In these situations, it doesnt matter what the opposition brings...well, not the Doggies anyway.

Mr Bogan, you just had that picture lying around do you?

 

[xDQ82x]

Hope we don't have a knee jerk reaction and play two rucks.

This week they will win if they bring 4 qtrs of trademark pressure.

Attitude cost us the GWS game.

I hope that has been discussed at length in a closed room, out of which comes an absolute resolve amongst the group never to serve that crap up again.

I wouldn’t mind it in future. But surely this isn’t the week to do it. TDK and English are a great match up.

Haha i plan to win still but you never know

 

[Jimmyonesix]

If TDK lets himself get rag dolled at stoppage and unable to recover for the follow up of ground ball he is a liability .. even in his hot streak the opposition ruck statistically wasn't to bad.. even his brother for his first game in the ruck ( got coaches votes this week)

 

[F_therest]

Jones, Naughtiness and O'Donnell confirmed outs for this week.

Weightman a chance if he can confirm his fitness this week.

Keith and Gardener are also already out too.

They are literally missing their 4 first choice key defenders. Plus Naughton, Smith, JJ and Harmes. Maybe Weightman.

We'd be all at sea in defence with that many KPDs out.

Add home crowd and Cripps' 200th, there's just no excuse to lose.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

English is not a Briggs, TDK doesn't need help from Pitto
Ollie whilst he gives his all, is too easily tossed aside; Lord or George get the gig
Kemp is not the KPD to take the heat off Weiters, that's big Durds, with Kemp moving more midfield/wing
Do you dare tag Bont with Cinc?? Would Kemp be a better option?

Therefore:
Out - Fantasia, Ollie
In - Owies (starting), Lord (sub), Big Durds or Marchie

Something like...

Def: Weiters, B Durd/Marchie, McLovin, Saad, Newie, Boyd, Cowan

Mids: TDK, Crippa, Walsh, Cera, E Hollands, Blacres, Cotters, Kemp

Fwd: H, Charles, Owies, Fog, Bam Bam, Cinc, Williams

Sub: Lord

 

[Arr0w]

Hope we don't have a knee jerk reaction and play two rucks.

Sorry, can you say that again rumour boy

Michael Reeves put up one of the gutsiest displays of ruck work in the 1986 Elimination Final at 189cm he went up against Simon Madden, Roger Merrett and Paul Salmon giving away height and weight and contributed greatly to Fitzroy’s one point win over the Scum.

One of the best non Carlton games I e ever had the privilege to watch.

I stand corrected he was actually 187cm

 

[Bongo Drum]

Out: Ollie
In: Hewett

Like Ollie but prefer a stronger body to fill his spot for now.

Know many have written him off but wonder if MC will give any thoughts to Lewis Young

(or even Durdin) as an In for this game? The extra height might be required against Darcy and Lobb.

Motlop might be due for a run in the firsts too - if so, Fanta out.
