Dogs have the addition of Lobb into their forward line this year, will be a different dynamic on an already decent forward line. Losing a key tall back is less than ideal

Good teams don't fall apart because of a couple of injuries. Shit teams use it as an excuse. If we are up and firing then we still have 19 other players. We're not gonna lose by 30, drop May in and become the best team in the league again it's not basketballDon’t rate the dogs that highly?
Only one of them can mark it at a time, let em stroll through the middle and pick targets and May won't do **** all anyway. Not the end of the world.Dogs have the addition of Lobb into their forward line this year, will be a different dynamic on an already decent forward line. Losing a key tall back is less than ideal
I didn't say it was the end of the world, but it isn't ideal. Our centreline is still pretty stacked, win the ball there and it shouldn't be an issue really. Plus Grundy can free up Gawn to go back, so we do have options.

I reckon in my life I've seen 500 examples of a team bringing in extra talls to stretch a defence and almost every time it fails because the best players average like 2 contested marks a game. Then the tall blokes are useless for the restI didn't say it was the end of the world, but it isn't ideal.

You're probably right, Them losing weightmen hurts their talls when brining it to ground. Although not that an injury matters to us it won't matter to them.I reckon in my life I've seen 500 examples of a team bringing in extra talls to stretch a defence and almost every time it fails because the best players average like 2 contested marks a game.

I'll also bet there's no chance in hell that the dogs start with 4 talls inside 50 at the centre bounce. That would be the funniest thing I've ever seenYou're probably right, Them losing weightmen hurts their talls when brining it to ground.

I do recall a queensbirthday in 2016 where i think Collingwood played the three rucks against Gawn for no result.
I have had one bulldogs mate all preseason not shut the * up about their talls to me, and how they'll stretch us round 1. I presume it's leaked into my brain after a long period of dribble
When teams go super tall usually you can just park the bus and turn their forwardline into a complete mess.I reckon in my life I've seen 500 examples of a team bringing in extra talls to stretch a defence and almost every time it fails because the best players average like 2 contested marks a game.

The people just add up how many talls, give them all 3 goals and 5 marks and say wow how great is a tall forward line but at a certain point one takes away from the other. This isn't some tactical brilliance that no one's thought of for 150 years. It doesn't workWhen teams go super tall usually you can just park the bus and turn their forwardline a complete mess.
It's funny, winning at the G means nothing to me. Last few times I went to the footy I hated it.
Nothing beats sitting on my fat arse, surrounded by junk food, chocolate bars, milk shakes, coke-a-cola (no sugar), few pingers, couple of lines, laptop open so I can keep in touch with my bigfooty friends. Best seat in the house too, don' t have to deal with people, games over I can roll off the couch and go straight to sleep. Perfect.
I always try and cut calories where I can. Also coke full flavour is a bit too strong for me these days, i’m getting old!Coke no sugar seems an odd choice in this line up.

Tried “smoked cola” over the long weekend. $7 a bottle, felt very fancy drinking it but wouldn’t splash out like that on the regular. Was pretty nice tho.
Great preseason supposedly, but could be going into Round 1 with our best defender, best forward, vice captain and an important HBF all missing out.
A11dAtP0w3R any luck cloning Burgo yet?
Burgo would have prevented Fritsch from having his foot stomped on through sheer force of will.Not like it has much to do with PS though
Yeah not sure where he fits in.Laurie to debut is interesting.
SubYeah not sure where he fits in.
Hope he goes well, but it's a fairly uninspiring pick based off the practice game. Would've rathered Taj tbh, but get that it's positional.Laurie to debut is interesting.
That's what I was thinking, Laurie in then chandler is probably not in, but to me I'd prefer chandler, I guess we'll see.Hope he goes well, but it's a fairly uninspiring pick based off the practice game. Would've rathered Taj tbh, but get that it's positional.
Hoping that means no Chandler, feel like Chandler, Laurie, McVee and potentially Disco (for May) leaves us a bit short in terms of experience/guaranteed contributors
