Game Day Nothing better than a Saturday arvo 8 pointer - Bulldogs v Port @1:45 in a crucial game

[MaxiBont]

Hopefully having to sit through Port fans sing Never Tear Us Apat is the only pain this game brings.

Super pumped for this one. Wish we had Jones and Cody though

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Heading to the game today, how nice it’s a day game in good weather for a change. Pretty windy though, so could be factor.
Jones and Cody out hurt, but still think we have the better team overall.
Play our best, we win. Should be a good game, as Port and dogs tend to be.

About to jump on a plane to Singapore, won’t know the result until well after it’s over. To watch the replay without knowing the result or not?!

English Vs Sweet

Feeling pretty nervous about this one. When we lost Jones last year it really killed us. He is the rock that holds our defence together. And Cody is our most reliable goal kicker.

So it will be tough for sure. We need to play like we did against Freo and hopefully we blew out the cobwebs last week.

It’s been a week from hell for me, injured my knee and unable to walk. Finally had surgery yesterday and hopefully recovering. I will be watching from the couch. Would be great to see the Doggies win this one and push into the top 8. We don’t have many chances for slip ups. Damn that game against Hawthorn has cost us. But we now need to make up for it by winning both games in Adelaide.

Go Dogs!!

Amazing what the loss of just player can do to the look of a team. The backline looks creaky if both Coffield and Khamis play. Also, heavy reliance on Lobb maintaining recent form as a KPD. Finlayson and Marshall are no world beaters but they will still need to be contained and not allowed to be given space. Could be a tough afternoon for the defense if our flankers and mids don't provide a lot of support.
Best course of action: keep it out of their forward half.

Hope Coffield has a great return. If he gets into form it’ll really help the loss of Richards from the backline.

Freijah sub

I fear that Jones out of our backline and Cody not providing his usual forward excitement may be our downfall. Horn-Toad worries me.

Don't like that call

Lovely conditions at the oval. Lots of sun and a light breeze. Go Doggies!

 

[Mofra]

I thought it would be a bit wet?
Is it heavy underfoot? Our tall side is either a stroke of genius or idiocy.

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Freijah sub over McNeil is a shame. Not sure about that one

 

[dewah07]

Buku named FWD? Do you expect that to continue during the game or could even odonnel go fwd?

 

[JTCWBFC]

Freijah has been great and building nicely.

Weird choice. Especially with McNeil there.

 

[Dogs Rule]

No excuses. Must win. Must.

 

[Testekill]

Ooof, don't like Freijah as sub.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Really expected Khamis to be the sub. Think I’ve been the only one.

Defensive matchups will be interesting, no real obvious options. Got a fair bit of intercept threat if we have a lot of pressure on the ball. Not sure how we’ll hold up if there isn’t.

Where do you think Buku plays?

Surely he’ll be playing back unless they send Darcy back which seems crazy to me. Would think Naughton, Ugle-Hagan and Darcy are forward and Lobb, O’Donnell and Khamis are back.

Gamble responsibly.

Sends a strange message. Freijah seemed to have been getting better week by week. Do MC think he's not doing enough? Or are they just giving his 18yo body a bit of a break?

I had assumed Khamis would be sub too.

Coffield taking his spot?
