Finals, Week 1 - Geelong vs. Western Bulldogs

[Plugger35]

Dogs still alive but still can't see them winning from here.

As much as I'd like to see the Dogs win, I'd rather we met them in a prelim than the Cats.

True. This year or next their window shuts for awhile. Hudson, Johnson, Aker, Welsh, Eagleton - all over 30 and all play important roles in their team. Sadly their forward structure doesn't stand up in big games and finals like pressure. They need to rebuild...they might give it one more shot next year and get Barry Hall.

Exactly. And Hahn, Gilbee, Hargrave, Lake, Giansiracusa, Murphy, Boyd, Morris will all be 28 or 29 next year. So much for a young team... 13 players over the age of 28 nex yeat. This year was their final chance and they blew it.

Bulldogs should have a shot for Barry Hall if he's interested in playing again.

There is nothing to stop them winning flag with all those guys under 30.

Lake at full forward?

I'm a bit scared

 

[TheBloods]

'Dogs get it back to 23. Can't win, but it would be nice to get it under 20.

 

[Copernicus]

Give 'em credit, they keep coming.

Yes there is. They aren't good enough and have no forward line

Your only young guns of note are Swift, Masten, Lecras, Kennedy and perhaps NicNat so i dont know why you are so chippy. It will be 5-6 years before you can blow anything .

Not sure that's a great move, he's a much better defender than forward. Guess you have to roll the dice now.

 

[TheBloods]

They obviously are pretty good and do have a reasonable forward line. Most number of goals this year and second last year. They really do need a big forward for September though. Hall is perfect for the next two years.

 

[mcuzzy]

Not enough time left me thinks

 

[ep2018]

I still think Bulldogs can still win. Would need a very quick goal or two though

I doubt B2BW will wait that long.

 

[mcuzzy]

Lucky Cooney has it then

 

[Cousin Jed]

Geelong will be glad this game doesn't go for an extra 5 minutes.

 

[Donsftw14]

Cmon Cooney, slot it

 

[DockerShocker]

[Notorious_29]

[mcuzzy]

[TheBloods]
