Preview Changes vs Hawks (Sunday 13/9 3.35pm)

[BallaratBulldog]

Are either likely to go around again next year?

Bevo has expressed that he wants the Doc around and has a role, he wasn’t played this year was simply due to injury with back and groin. However, if he broke down next year that might be a big issue for him.

Suckling is much more unclear and unlikely. But he has served the Dogs 4 years in the end.

I reckon Duryea will, no idea about Suckling

 

[Libba39]

Dureya coming in frees up Caleb a little.

I must say those Hawks ins are interesting. This game is clearly not going to be a formality...

 

[Martyn_30_]

It’s good to see Duryea back he’s definitely in the best 22, I expect JJ will be moved up the ground as a result.

Wonder if they push one of JJ or Williams onto the right wing. We're not quite as dangerous down that flank as we were when Vander was in.

Move JJ up to the wing, will reduce the number of easy goals Hawthorn will get if he's not in the backline

 

[Libba39]

Just did a count. 12 left-footers.

That's got to be a record???

Seems they are going all out to win to be honest... unsurprising given we lnow Clarko hates us

Why does he hate us? I wasn't aware of that

Why does Clucko hate us?

 

[dergert]

Theres no way Greene will be on our list next year.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Freo looking ominous, finals no guarantee at all.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Duryea back after being out from a year long injury run against a Hawthorn side that will no doubt want a win, I don't see it ending well unless he is fully fit.

 

[Doggy]

I was moreso referring to his constand whinging about umpire treatment. I'd put money on him doing it again

 

[Next Waiting]

Just did a count. 12 left-footers.

I did the same count. And most of our prime movers are of the left persuasion. JJ most likely to be redeployed I'd think.

 

[Generation West]

Not sure about bringing in two more half backs.

I’m no fan of Suckling anyway - why would we not play either Cavarra or Weightman ?

Richards is fast so we cannot drop him.

Pfft.

 

[bobs head soup]

Bevo values a settled backline and they have been playing well as a unit. I don't see him making unforced changes there 2 weeks out from finals.

Pfft.

Duryea is alot more defensive then richards or any of our other smaller backman. He is our best at locking down small forwards

Freo looking ominous, finals no guarantee at all.

They are playing the druggies, a bit like playing Norff at the moment

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Complete opposite of going for youth like clarko hinted at.
Happy with our selections

Sucked in, Bulldogs

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Bringing in two guys that can switch the ball quickly and cut opposition teams up by foot.

Yeah, Im good with that.

 

[Substance]

Ed mate, find the pill this time

 

[dogwatch]

Theres no way Greene will be on our list next year.

Bevo's managing him. Holding him back for the finals.

 

[ExRoyboy]

I really like seeing Duryea back in the team. He was definitely in our best 22 last season when he was fit. And he is a good kick and mark for his height. Hope this is two games for him to settle back in and also move one of JJ or Richards to the wing. Suckling will play forward and replace Lloyd.

I really don’t mind the extra experience both players bring. I hope English can play like he did last week and run McEvoy around and jump over him. He needs to go hard at the ball like last week. Give our midfield a chance and we should win.

 

[The City Boyz]

Those in for the Hawks makes them a different proposition from their team last week.
All their ins have caused us problems in the past

Can't remember the last time Finn Mcginness caused problems for us

Has he played many scratch matches? I just hope he is ready.
