Preview Dogs on Mars: Round 8 Saturday May - 11 1:45 pm

[Dalions]

Got me mystified how Harris Andrews has kept his spot in the firsts, won 3 on the trot last year without him and now the last 2 with him on the sidelines.

Surely he has to fight for his position with a demonstration of consistency through the NEAFL. Is Harris trade bait?

We did win the first 3 with him in the team!

Sounds like jason has just got back from a long lunch.


We would have won by 50 on Saturday night if Harris had of played.

Harris would have kicked 50

As expected Harris is almost certainly playing: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-09/come-to-naught-key-lion-could-return-to-face-inform-dog

The matchups will be interesting if the Bulldogs don’t bring in another key forward. Walker might end up on someone like Gowers or Dickson

Gowers seems pretty likely for Walker to me. Dizzy on Bont when he's up forward and then on dickson when he isn't maybe?

We will need good defence through the middle to slow their ball movement down and force them to Bomb it in long and high. If they can slow them down I don’t really think the matchups matter because we will out muscle them in the air.
If the midfield breaks down and they get fast supply then it will make it tough.

We need our midfild to continue to step up. If we can get enough ball going to our forward line and pressure them when it goes in their forward line we should win. We need Zorko to step up (continue on from last week as we can't just leave it all up to Neale). Andrews needs to nullify Naughton. Hippy, Cameron and McCarthy need to continue to get goals (particularly McCarthy, feels like he isn't doing a whole lot at the beginning of the matches). Get Cameron up in the middle and involved, plays better. No more yips please.

 

[Tairy Greene]

McStay to kick a bag.

 

[Tassie4ever]

If it wasn't for the guaranteed fact that we are up against the next bona fide superstar [based on one good game] who will terrify the whole AFL with his magnificence and ability, Harris would struggle to get a game.

 

[Tom14]

Contrary to last week I think poor conditions would help more than hinder us. The dogs are a high possession, high handball team so a more kick long to contest game in slippery/wet conditions might help slow them down.

You convinced me, just put 1 grand on a doggies flag

 

[Dalions]

After listening to Coach Fagans interview I forecast 1 change.
Harris for Lester (relegated) or
Hodgey (rested)

 

[Comeback Lions]

Predicting a huge Thursday night meltdown if Lester is dropped.

I'm predicting a meltdown to rival 3 mile island from a certain poster if Allen Christensen is an in.

 

[a mayes ing]

In: Andrews, Bailey
Out: Walker, Taylor.

That is really harsh on Walker

 

[Kitten Mittens]

Walker???

 

[jackess]

Melts coming

 

[James North]

Wow, interesting changes.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Matchup reasons?

 

[Comeback Lions]

Meltdown averted. Lester holds his place. Good to see us pick a side that can match up with the oppositions forwards for once. Taylor not an emergency, back to the twos.

 

[jackess]

Very happy they made the gutsy call. We only need one key back this week.

 

[M Malice]

WOW! Josh Walker would have to be one of the unluckiest players ever to be dropped. I hope he takes it ok. I can understand it though when you look at the doggies team. Lewy Taylor now playing for his career the rest of the season.

Jarryd Roughead dropped for the Hawks, double WOW!

 

[Sausages]

Well....never let it be said Fages can't make the big calls.

Josh would feel pretty stiff - but, it's a sign of our development that he gets overlooked. I'm sure he understands the bigger picture here.

Other change isn't unexpected.

 

[Milux]

Wow. Walker must be injured. Unless it is strictly a matchup call. Boy oh boy wowee.
