Game Day Bulldogs vs Richmond. Round 3, 2014.

[Igloo]

Gia the sub.
Gordon the sub for the Tigers.

No late changes to either side.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Happy with Gia being the sub. Pumped for the game.

I am not happy about this. Every other club uses the sub as a fast player who can come on late in the game with a burst of speed and energy for their team. Gia does not provide that for us.

Our coach just doesn't seem to get it?

Just because every other club does it doesn't mean it's the best option for us.

Gia is a liability in the back end of matches and his impact is greatest when those around him are starting to slow due to fatigue. Late in games when players like Stringer and Jones are running out of puff he offers a dangerous scoring option. It's the right call imo.

Besides, who do we have that's a fast player to use as the sub? Tutt's failed to have an impact as the sub most times he's worn the vest and we don't exactly have any others.

I'm in agreeance, Gia had great impact as sub last year. Thinking if all goes to plan though Jong might be subbed off today.

People seem to forget how good Gia was as sub last year, arguably the best sub in the comp last year.

 

[Doggies_13]

May be off topic but from hearing reports from the vfl the pressure really comes on top Jones, stringer and williams to perform or cordy and dickson will be taking their spots

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Williams in the back line on the team sheet.

 

[Dale4captain]

Williams in the back line on the team sheet.

Preferable in my opinion. We definitely lack a tall backman and with Jones, Stringer and Crameri in our forward line, I think we're ok. Williams can swing as needed anyway.

I love Fox Footy so much, but the weekend pre-match shows are pretty disappointing. No preview for the covered game at all, just "around the grounds" news. I enjoy the analysis that you get with the night matches and such.

 

[NBates]

Not going today Unfortunately. Hope those in my spot behind the race give the boys a positive Rev up. No nutters please. Will be watching from home. Go dogs

Hope people remember we are playing today, can't blame people for thinking that we only play Sunday twilight.

 

[Chicago1]

[Igloo]

Well, shit.

Good Jonesy.

 

[fargy]

Libba being held every time...no free.
Anyone goes within 50m of cotchin, automatic free kick.

 

[ossie_21]

Mitch has to bust his guts today, Cotchin has started at 110%

Good goal to Jones, but even Stevie Wonder seen te hold in Libba earlier

 

[Igloo]

Very well done. Good quick hands by Stringer to give it to Cram.
