He's really shitTell us what you really think![]()
So who is the beast match for Heeney? Would it be coffield??I'm far more worried about Heeney than any of their talls. Amarty kicked 9 in Adelaide and hasn't fired a shot since.
agreed - afraid he will be exposed by smaller, more agile opponents.
had a great game against geelong, but the rest of the team gave the defenders a pretty good ride. Our across the field defence was excellent.
Im imagining the ladder leaders will show a bit more than the cats did last week, and our defenders ability to actually defend will be well tested.
1 a free agent, and the other for two 2nd rounders.Jones and Lobb are our Lever and May.
I don't see how Khamis is even being mentioned in this conversation. He was as good as Lobb.Has to be Coffield or Buku as well as they played. Lobb has to stay down there
Week off for Coffield, rest that shoulder, he has a history of injuries. That game in the wet cow paddock look physically taxing.Hopefully we don't try to fit all our defenders in by playing some forward .... have to drop Coffield or Buku unfortunately.
Because Coffield might be a better match up for HaywardI don't see how Khamis is even being mentioned in this conversation. He was as good as Lobb.

To my eye, Buku's kicking had been a lot better this year, not brilliant but certainly solid.
I know these stats only tell a small part of the tale, but according to footywire, his disposal efficiency is elite at 87.3%.
For players who have played 10 games or more this year, he is ranked #1 at Dogs and #5 in the league.
If there was ever a week to try the combo of Lobb, Jones, Coff and Buku then it is this week. Swans have three talls plus HaywardBecause Coffield might be a better match up for Hayward
Wouldn't be totally unexpected to see someone out with a niggle after a wrestle in the corio mud pit.The other possibility that nobody has mentioned but seems to happen all too often is that there is a totally unexpected injury. That might enable us to play both Khamis and Coffield (depending on who the injured player is and how much juggling they are prepared to do).
We might not even know this until Friday night because it's a Sunday game.
I wish they had a measure for disposal/kicking efficiency but weighted by either distance or meters gained rather than just the disposal count. If you nail 4 x 15 meter sideways chips but then turn-over your 40-50 meter kick down the line I want to see a different measure than 80% efficiency. I appreciate that for some longer kicks just not turning it over counts as being effective but its not enough.To my eye, Buku's kicking had been a lot better this year, not brilliant but certainly solid.

We might not win, but they're worried:
"
Bulldogs haven't won 3 in a row since what? Round 10 last year.
Average side, respect them, but we play our best, we win every time"
It's a prevalent view though. He has been underestimated (outside the club) for most of his career.Shitney supporter on the main board called Libba a tagging workhorse.
no idea
Thatās prob because the OP banned itJust had a quick look on the Swans board, weirdly almost no mention of 2016. I'm sure it'll pick up closer to the game, but dare I say it are they sadly approaching stage 7? (false alarm no doubt)

On a related note, it's a concern for us that Sydney appear to have already played their grand finals in rounds 3, 16, 17 and 19.
I didn't expect fairweather rugby nuffies would have any ideaIt's a prevalent view though. He has been underestimated (outside the club) for most of his career.
No current season stats available
And Hamling has spent majority of his time up forward at VFL this year.If we can get adequate entries in, our tall forwards should really be able to stretch the Sydney defence.
Rampe is such a key out in terms of team structure. McCartin is probably the only genuine kpd to take on one of JUH, Naughton and Darcy.
Blakey and Melican will need to play tall and the only kpd in the VFL team with experience is Joel Hamling (at a stretch Aaron Francis).
Got to take advantage.
