Preview 2024 Round 11 Bulldogs vs Swans (with no gimmicky titles)

[Ticky009]

I was at the game when Naughton played on Melican, kicked 5-7 or similar and looked like John Coleman.

Do not want a repeat of that! Hopefully the Pelican has more strings in his bow since their last encounter.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Might be more Swans fans than dogs fans

Honestly, this has often been the case in games v the Mutts at Docklands.

The Bloods in Melbourne always turn up.

Games where we regularly outnumber the Oppo are Norf, Tainted, Dees, Hawks, Mutts.

Am sure our Sydney based comrades who rock up to games in Melbourne enjoy how we turn the matches into home games for our team.

Their forward line is tall, but even with Mccartin and Fox out it doesn't really concern me much.

Dogs have talent but to me they are downhill skiers , as long as we switch on they can't match us.

I’ve often wondered why anyone would choose to be an uphill skier.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

It’s about which version of the Dogs and Swans show up. Agree with The King! that it is a danger game. They’ve played their best game of the year last week, arguably we did too.

Feel like we’ll know which way this is headed in the first 10 minutes.

Dogs have ruined my tipping, I’d be up there with mattpolo8 if I could tip them correctly !

For a challenge, burn off the nutri grain.

 

[bedford]

Wow, they have airports in Tassie now? Geez it's come a long way

Only take single engine Cessnas

Am concerned about their talls across the ground. Still we managed against Carlton, let's hope the team hasn't celebrated too much this week and we're ready for them at Marvel.

Very true , they don't have the tip rat or the other one Libba , at our best we will win , but by 13 points

How long ago was that? i faintly remember it

I have tipped 6 goals.

Oh Crikey TIPPING!! oops. thanks for the reminder.

 

[Bloods86]

No doubt you are right.

Iirc he kicked as poorly as Reid on his worst day but marked everything in sight and made Lewis look silly.

Naughton has not had any inaccurate games against us, unless he was dominating and continually shanking them out on the full.

There's a 3.1 game last year, some 2.2s, and a 1.2. Have to go back to Rd 1 2019 for the only time Naughton has had 5 scores against us for 3.2.

In any case, it's 2024, Lewis is our most in form KPD (and that included when TMac was in), and I don't think I'd be sending anyone else to their best KPF.

it's a good test , got a lot of respect this week, will they stay humble and work hard, that's how we win.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Oh Crikey TIPPING!! oops. thanks for the reminder.

I seem to perform more admirably when I forget my tips.

Curse you for reminding me!

 

[Neverwas]

The transition for us from a slippery track to a dry track , and their height and recent good form is a worry.

I would like to see Campbell and Roberts play because they are better in the dry and both excellent kicks.

Fox is out. It all depends on how much rest Roberts body needs I suppose as to whether he starts or is sub.

Well I think we can say with some confidence Luke Parker

You can’t seriously think umpiring had anything to do with the result on that day? What in the delusion.

I can. I do.

Now go away

AFL’s review of Grand Final finds umpiring was not up to the standard expected

AFL review finds GF umpiring not up to par

Scott Jeffrey hasn't umpired a GF since. What do those two facts tell you?

 

[BloodySwan]

Bulldogs have been in decent form. Were terrible at the beginning of the season but have improved.

I expect they'll push us for 4 quarters but if we play like we did against Carlton it'll be over very quickly

And this from The Australian....

The league were embarrassed to the point that then-acting AFL general manager of football operations Mark Evans rang Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland on the Tuesday after the match to apologise for the umpires costing the Swans four goals. The winning margin blew out late to 22 points after the Bulldogs kicked the final two goals in time on of the final quarter.

You can't seriously think a team went 2 and a bit quarters without getting one free and it's all accurate ?

Lewis is bigger than what you think
