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

[cryptor]

Secured tickets.

Day for Maginness.

CJ back in for Morrison if he plays well in the box hill game this weekend. Ward will be driving his case.

Serong next in keydefender, Scaife next in key forward, Seamus small defender and Wingard small forward.

Get keen

Is Wingard playing VFL finals this week?

 

[Hawkers88]

A little teaser leading into next week!

 

[Dewyyyyy]

You have mistaken this thread for one where Dogs fans come and talk shit.

It isn't.

Consider yourself told.

I like feisty Eldorado

He was mentioned to be a test!

 

[Phil McCreviss]

The latter, yes. They control the resale market too. Loved using Stubhub when I would visit the US.

Yeah whenever Ive been back for a visit, its like going back to Jurassic Park for certain things like event tickets. Incredible they don't have a Stubhub equiv for a 90+ k stadium

These are likely sides.

Key matchups defensively (Hawks DEF v Dogs FWD)

Frost v Naughton
Weddle v JUH
Scrimshaw v Darcy
Hardwick v Weightman
Impey v West

Sicily and Amon float on Vandermeer and Daniel

Key matchups through the middle.
Bontempelli v Nash
Day v Treloar
Newcombe v Richards
Worpel v Libba

English v Meek

These are relatively simple and just system v system bar the Nash matchup.

Key matchups offensively (Hawks FWD v Dogs DEF)

Dear v O’Donnell
Gunston v Jones
Chol v Lobb

Bramble v Watson
Dureya v Ginnivan
Dale v Moore
Freijah v MacDonald

Looking at these, and form lines, I’d be confident, and am.

Got a call from an old school mate last night. He got three tix, he’s Sydney, another old school mate Doggies and Me.
Blessed

 

[LRobbo]

Bramble plays on Watson, it’s lights out. Wiz will kick 5 and set up 5 more

I WILL sing this song after every goal

 

[MasterSamurai]

Their backline isn't the best tbh. Funnel the ball out of congestion and get it in quick! We'd wanna use the whole width of the ground to stretch their running while they prefer winning the inside contest to get players out ! Two very different styles coming up against each other. İf Day isn't close to 100% fit, I wouldn't play him and just back the big four + Mackenzie and at times Dylan in the guts.

Feisty Eldorado. That sounds like a quasi-Mexican snack food in a Las Vegas sports bar.

Secured tickets.

Congrats, hope the seats are great.

Day for Maginness.

Day seems very very doubtful.

CJ back in for Morrison if he plays well in the box hill game this weekend. Ward will be driving his case.

Harry stays in - it's his spot now. Ward is behind Finn.

Serong next in keydefender, Scaife next in key forward, Seamus small defender and Wingard small forward.

None of those will be playing Vs Dogs.

Who is Serong replacing?


Scaife won't debut in an Elimination final unless the team contract Ebola between now and next Friday.

I do rate him highly after seeing him live in a couple of VFL games.
Gets his chance next pre-season I'd reckon.



Wingard is cooked and cannot play anymore sadly. Seamus seems out of favour.

Get keen

You bet. Should be a ripping game.

Love your work mate, i think this is where we can really exploit them provided the midfield break even in the battle.

The smalls brigade will burn their opponents in space anyone could hit the scoreboard. Dale is very offensive they will need to clamp Moore. Duryea might get that role which opens up the rest.

Day will play. I will be extremely surprised if he doesn't. Cj will play if he gets through the box hill game this weekend. Sam rates CJ and he will play and replace someone possibly Morrison no matter what others think of his inclusion.

 

[Bedi]

Damn that was a tough tussle and gutsy win when we played them last time. And with the addition of Darcy, Weightman and Lobb – and potentially no Will Day – it's only going to get tougher. With that said, this being at the MCG I'm feeling quietly confident we'll win this quite comfortably

Darcy played last time, had little impact

Hardwick has owned Weightman in previous match ups and Lobb seems the type to completely drop his bundle in a big final.

Not concerned

Good to know. 100% fit?

Cj will play if he gets through the box hill game this weekend. Sam rates CJ and he will play and replace someone possibly Morrison no matter what others think of his inclusion.

If Harry is dropped next Friday, he will be off you'd think at seasons end?

Not much incentive to stick around if this happens.

 

[Fists of Love]

Hardwick has owned Weightman in previous match ups

Newcombe too

(sorry for the reddit thing - best clip I could find)

ha did he, must've had really little impact .

I don't think at this time of the year 100% fit is a thing. Harry I am sure is acutely aware of his situation

Please beat these umpire throwing cheating mob.

[Blackhawk42]

Hypothetically speaking, if Naughton, Darcy and JUH do the damage and cause us to bundle out of the finals race, how insanely comforting is it knowing that deficiency is already taken of with the acquisitions of Barrass and Battle.
