Preview Changes vs Giants RD 24 - Huge game @ Mars Stadium - Sun 25 Aug 12:30

[Whoyagot]

Starting to get really nervous for this game. It’s like a final but worse because there’s no sense of a free hit you get in a cut throat final. Instead it’s a fear of pure disappointment if results don’t fall out way and we miss finals with 13 wins and a percentage of 120+%

Hope the players can put it out of their mind and play with freedom.

 

[Doggy]

People are going to lose their minds when he re-signs with us

Ha ha. It would be a fairly big surprise

Meet Bulldogs stars Bailey Smith and Ellie Blackburn ahead of Ballarat clash

Yeah, this is going to go well with Smith before the game on Sunday

If he actually shows up to this, I'd be surprised.

The closer the game gets the more I look at GWS likely line up the more pessimistic I get.

Just need to nail this one somehow

One of the very few in-form teams in the comp. This isn’t going to be easy.

Any news on English injury?

Any news on English injury?

Think he’s already been ruled out for Sunday but good to see him running at training yesterday

That's the one. Reckless garbage.

Yet we have the stupid “below the knees” free kick for dumb, second to the ball footballers who fall over a bloke on the ground….so far from what the rule was bought in for

 

[grassman75]

Always take the advantage while your fresh wind direction can change. Try and put a margin on straight up. Don't give them an opportunity to forge to a big early lead IMO

Didn’t Terry Wheeler have us kick against the wind at Whitten Oval one day cos an old fisherman told him it would change and we’d have it for 3 qtrs or something like that….it didnt and we didn’t

 

[grassman75]

Dogs are $1.45 to GWS $2.75

Money going on the Dogs for this game

I took $8 for us to miss the 8 last week….might have to double down and back GWS at those juicy odds too.

Will have plenty to drown my sorrow if it eventuates

A large portion of people in Sydney that say they follow the Swans or Giants are like a large portion of people in Melbourne that say they follow the Storm. They don't really understand the league and rules of the team they say they follow.

I was going to say this too, because the other team that complains about umpires and us every time are Brisbane supporters.

If we do end up losing, it would be fun to watch Carlton drop their game and allow us to sneak into finals. Would be almost a repeat of that final H&A Sunday in 2022.

Masochist.

He's posted it on his own instagram, I'm sure he would be getting Telstra money to be there too. Would be shocked if he doesn't show

Ballarat is closer to Geelong than Melbourne.

GWS were 6-3 and going pretty well when we smashed them in Rd 10. At their home ground. We should be favourites and I expect the boys to get the job done.

If we don't win by a minimum 6 goals we are not serious!!!

Not really. We are clearly a better team.

Many would disagree. Ladder positions show they're more consistent at the very least.

Yes if the team comes to play they're every chance to win

 

[Dogs 13]

Tim, Garcia, Arty & Poults named in the squad according to Ch 7

Many can disagree. This is just my opinion

 

[MYOB]

Based on that I'd say Garcia for West

 

[Doggies7]

Tim named on field

Tim named on field

They were always going to give him until after tomorrow's session.

Meanwhile.. Haynes back for the coin toss
