Prediction Changes Cats V Dogs 30.7.22 Can we break a 6,951 days drought

[Claudonious]

Not the week to make a statement, especially when the alternative is Cordy

Keath is injured - it’s obvious, and has been for weeks . He cannot run

Hawkins and Cameron will be laughing at the thought of facing Gardner and Cordy on Saturday night.

Good to see that Beveridge has gone back to full suburban football league coach dropping McNeil for McComb.

Well, I was a bit optimistic but we are ****ed now.

Cats by 70+

One from left field - could Cordy come in for Keath as a dedicated match up on Hawkins? We've seen Cordy do a great job on Dixon in the finals last year, feel like he's our best defender for the less mobile gorilla forwards. He's also got enough ruck experience to hopefully be able to at least nullify Hawkins at throw ins. Keath's obviously been struggling recently, possibly carrying something, so a week off might leave him in better condition for the final 3 weeks.

Called it... Go watch Cordy's two games against Charlie Dixon late last year if you want some reassurance that he could do the job on Hawkins this week - particularly compared to the version of Keath we currently have.

 

[Libba39]

Joel Selwood's 350th too. F*** me !

 

[Igloo]

I'm afraid.

 

[Dog 36]

I understand the Keath one, he hasn't been great and while he is a much better player than Cordy, keeping everyone accountable etc is fine.

But Mccomb in for McNeil isn't great.

Mcomb for McNeil shows accountability doesn’t exist

 

[ScragCity]

Keath has been putrid this season. Was getting outmarked by Kozzy Pickett last week which really says it all. It's a good change. While I'm not really a fan of McComb, he has steadily improved throughout the season. McNeil has been poor this year too. I actually thought his first season was much better.

 

[Libbaaaa]

McComb, what a joke. Wasn't even properly dropped, Bevo's lover boy gets to be sub and that is enough to earn selection again. Keath hasn't been good but Cordy is finished as a first team player.

I agree...I don't think we had much choice. Keith is not right and a liability we can't afford against Geelong.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Surely McLean and Hunter are better options than McComb. Really????

Cordy is simply not a KPD, not big enough. Why do we play him there?

 

[Bald]

Midfield and Forward line are both pretty strong. Backline is a shambles whether Keath plays or not.

Go dogs!

We were 13 points down last week when McComb came on. He was the difference in the last 10 minutes.

 

[badkicking]

Sounds like we’re practically full strength except for maybe Doc, no excuses we can win thisI

If they are full strength, and your 2 key backs are Gardner and Cordy, you have no chance.

 

[Chicago1]

I saw us beat Geelong at Kardinia 20 years ago back in 2002 during my first visit back to Melbourne. At least I have my memories.

 

[Mutt]

I'm not sure that who we select as the 22nd best player is the difference between winning and losing. Neither McComb nor McNeil are winning or losing the game for us. Team effort, discipline and an effective game plan will be more important.

He was the super sub definitely

One of my former students, Mathew Nicholls(15), is one of the umps. We've got this in the bag!

Pretty much this. On top of this - our defensive line is our weakest line, at full strength it still gets absolutely dominated by the Cats. This doesn't get won there and as far as I'm concerned (whilst Adam Treloar is playing in defense) our midfield and forward lines are at full strength.

 

[cat_fanatic]

Thought I'd pop in to get a sense of your optimism and I'm surprised the majority don't seem confident.

I rate your midfield the best in the comp currently and you should smash us in clearances

I get that Hawk and Cameron will likely kick their share, they do even against the best anyway. This will be won in the midfield I think, I just hope our backline can absorb enough of your inside 50s.

Will be close I think!

 

[Foxman98]

Keath has been shite for weeks let’s not act like he hasn’t McNeil a bit stiff but other then that can’t complain

Welcome to the Western Bulldogs changes thread where a melt means we're more likely to win and a calm room means we're a shoe in for a loss.

This is the thing people need to take away from your post mostly though.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Yikes.

Keath looks like he can’t even move so even though it looks desperate it makes some sense.

Don’t usually like making more than bare minimum changes to winning sides.

This.

If our midfield dominates, we’ll win.
