Preview 2024 Second Elimination Final: Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 6 September 2024, 7.40pm @ MCG

[PurpJuice]

Genuinely can’t understand the bulldogs gripe here.

Playing their first final in Vic since 2016 and they are more concerned that it will clash with an AFLW game

Talk about having a sook.

Weird little club

Dogs supporter here I come in peace.

I don’t think the supporters give a shit about the scheduling clashing with AFLW, it is what it is.

Also regarding Jones, he will get a week but most people assume he will get off with a challenge (including media personnel like Jon Ralph and Tom Morris).

Dogs have a strong case, as Cadman didn’t hit his head, wasn’t even taken off for a HIA. It was one motion, no sling involved.

Looking forward to next Friday, it’ll be a cracking game. Whichever team wins has an easy game the week after against Geelong.

If he’s fit he will be in 100%

Thanks, Sam

Finn may be useful v B Dale as a HF cooler

Which one of our small forwards is gonna kick half a dozen while Dale chases kicks?

 

[Gaston]

Chol on O'Donell won't be the first time a big cat has made that family look silly.

 

[Roddy]

Jones is gone surely? Just saw the incident, that's the very reason that rule was brought in.

Certainly doesn't hinder our cause if so....

 

[SJT76]

Dear to arrive and kick 8 goals, like Buddy did in 2008 in the Hawks v dogs qualifying final.

Think it’s Wiz with the bag

 

[Gene Simmons]

Liam Jones' tackle - he gonna miss? would be interesting if he plays

It's the AFL we're talking about where we make up rules on the go.. If it was Round 14, he'd miss 1 week - because it's finals = $fine.

Mmmmmm...bag....Wiz...

Long range forecast is 18C and sunny. Which means its gunna piss down with possible snow flurries inexplicably followed by sunny breaks

Every time we’ve played the Doggies in the last 2 years it’s been Nash using his size to try and negate Bont.

I’m a fan of Finn but I can’t see him playing this one unless Day doesn’t get up

Even then, it’s 50/50. He offers nothing when we have the ball unfortunately.

 

[Roddy]

We had the 'best tagger in the game' operating last year. We still have that tagger, but Sammy has hardly seemed to have used him in that role at all this year. I imagine that the thinking around that is that our charging and attacking game style this year has no room for those kind of negating tactics??

Early prediction: Ginnivan to bleach his hair

Had the same thought earlier today, but after my ‘do we go left field with a tall’ question was savaged, I figured I’d leave hair color alone.

But you know he will!!

Hope he lights it up too, if all of the smalls are on we likely move into week 2.

As someone pointed out to me yesterday, we live and die by the sword.

You could see it coming after last year’s draft haul.

We’re playing another game to everyone else, and we’re all in.

Dear to arrive and kick 8 goals, like Buddy did in 2008 in the Hawks v dogs qualifying final.

Just to be clear, Buddy had already arrived when he kicked eight against the Dogs. I assume you're referring to Franklin kicking eight on Morris and Lake in 2008 rather than Buddy arriving.

Yeah he'd just kicked a sneaky 100 that year. That game was one of his masterpieces though. He was absolutely unstoppable and nearly every goal he kicked was a gem.

I agree Finn is likely to be the one to make way.

The dogs do have a few we could look at that do the flash work on the outside easier to limit those types.(Richards. Dale) Dale ave elite in dispoals, kicks and meters gained.

Sunny breaks at 9pm in September is an interesting development

Hopefully by then we get a nice 24 degree day

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Franklin announced himself as a big-game player in the 2007 elimination final. I was right behind him when he took that set shot for his seventh and winning goal. I took a video that I uploaded to Youtube of him kicking the goal, but I can't for the life of me find it.

He hadn't 'just arrived', he kicked the door down....

No chance Day plays.
