[Bigeasy]

Is it his back again?

Sore.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Jesus. Greenwood not even in the emergencies. What a crock of shit.

 

[boneofshin]

Harvey named on the half-back line. Lachie an emergency again - interesting.

 

[Benno_900]

Bit short in defence now. I know the dogs only have one tall forward but don't like us messing with the structure.

Bulldogs could bring in Campbell late to stretch us.

 

[Snake_Baker]

It makes sense to leave Majak in for Cox and NicNat next week.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Grima out is a big hit but boomer in... phwoar! Bet the little bloke is ready to explode.

 

[Snake_Baker]

This has "shit football, danger game, happy to get away with the points" written all over it.

 

[mufassa]

Strong statement with Hanson not coming in for Grima. It is forward or nothing for Lachie. It is a game we can rest Grima with no real match up. Next week is a whole new ball game.

I see it differently - 55 points win and run them off their legs. They are terrible on the spread.

 

[SMaturin]

Happy to see Sierakowski getting another crack.

True
Griffen and Murph, two of our best runners back in though.
Should be more competitive than last week, with etihad less chance than Pattersons for exposure to the run and spread as well.

 

[Pykie]

Don't mind it, Firrito can play tall if needed (Which he probably wont be).

Gives us a bit more run and spread which is what the Doggies would be worried about.

McKenzie would be infront of Harper you would think.

They're 100% doing the right thing with Jacobs. He looked really really underdone early in the year, took me back to his bottom age year for Sandi. He came back in his top age year the fittest player in the side and dominated. He needs match time, will do him the world of good.

I have a feeling we will see the best of him next year, but he'll play the majority of the season.

 

[scooby1279]

Grima out for general soreness I reckon. Will need to have a massive game on darling next week. No point putting another back in when dogs forwards are short, plus firrito can cover another player.

Normally I'd agree, but with all the excitement of two milestones and Boomer's return, I can't see any possible complacency creeping in.

The Dogs can be a competitive unit with their confidence up, and if we have one of our shit disposal/shit decision making lapses, they will pounce all over it.

I certainly haven't penciled this in as an easy regulation win.

Yeah expecting a far more spirited performance from you guys with your ins. We know as well as anyone what Patterson's Curse can do to visiting teams!

 

[boneofshin]

Never realised Boomer had a bit of artwork on him. Can't wait to see him back out there in the blue and white.

 

[Digby Morrell]

Would have likes to see boomer have to earn his spot. Dominate a few vfl games then come in.

 

[Juryduty]

While I think north should win comfortably, does anyone else think the odds for this game to be borderline ridiculous. Last I saw we were $1.08 to $9.

Absolutely.

 

[SMaturin]

Put me down in the 'don't underestimate' camp. I've had my fingers burnt too many times in the past to get too cocky about this one.

 

[r_boy]

Bloody oath I love Boomer.

 

[benbanjo]

Gona need Grima for the eagles, i can see lachie coming in late change maybe....

I have - this is the worst team we have played this year off a 6 day break back from WA. The midfield is so slow and one paced they will ge opened up like a 2 dollar hooker.
