Hudson won't ruck the entire game, who pinch-hits for the Dogs?

Everitt will go up as the main backup, with Tom Williams providing a bit of a chop out occasionally. Hall will probably take all the forward line ruck contests.
EDIT - Just remembered Everitt is on the emergencies. Wouldn't be surprised with a late change to bring in one of either Everitt or Roughead.

On Hahn AgentS120, they used to say that he was the Doggies barometer, I'm not still sure this is the case. Perhaps now it's Gia? No doubt a BigFooty Dogs body can tell us if so, and on the Hahn matchup, maybe Kennedy is a possibility?
Yeh i dunno, Baz. He hasn't been too in favour lately at the selection table but i can remember him playing well against us numerous times over the last few years. Doubt Kennedy will be the man for him, as Hahn will surely be playing up forward. I agree that Gia is one of their most important players though. Smith to get him and shut him down like last time.
This is where the absences of Craig/LRT may really bite us on the backside, as the Dogs have quite a few strong talls up forward; Baz, Jones, Grant and Hahn are all either tall or play tall. Mattner is going to have to play on one of them and unless Roosy throws Rohan down back as a bit of cover (he has the height) it looks like Bevo or Tadhg might have to step up on one of them.
Let's hope the SCG does its magic and the short dimensions make a few of the opposition forwards disappear.

If there is some sort of change tomorrow i hope Reid comes in because like you said the Bulldogs do have quite a few very good tall forwards and with only Grundy and Richards we are a bit weak when it comes to tall defenders.

Yes, Kennedy is more than likely to be forward of the ball, but I think his game can add to us down back more than others.
I think the use of Rohan The Red will be quite interesting in this game. Height, pace and kamikaze, a nice injection that, so late in the season.

WE HAVE TO WIN THIS
i dont want a half ass effort we have to stand tall when the going gets though i want heads over the ball and kicking truly ROOS & KIRK deserve this

i can't wait for this game...i think this could be the moment that we finally beat a top 4 team...
Hahn has played a minimal role this year and was thrown down back for a few games before he was injured. Most on the WB board believe the game has gone past Mitch.
Hudson is a huge in for us this week. I would say he is the real heart and soul of the team these days with his tackling and clearance work. Daniel Cross is not far behind him in this category.
I would expect nothing close to a half arse effort at this time of the season. We'll win tonight - we know the guys stand up when the going REALLY gets tough. We'll out enthuse them tonight. As long as the execution hits the spot we'll be cool.

Of all the games in the season I hope we put the most effort into this one with all the build up the boys must show we can push for years to come after the Roos/Kirk Era.
I haven't felt very confident of beating the Dogs in years, but tonight feels different. Plus, TBH I don't think the Bulldogs have that much to play for this evening; they're already in the top 4 and can't miss basically, so in part it's more about injury management and preparation for them, whereas we obviously have heaps to play for.
Can anyone tell me if there is kick to kick tonight after the game?
Do they have it after every SCG game or just the day games?

I made a comment on the make a comment part.
Will you approve it?
Article reads well, but just a small point, O'Keefe played on Hodge, not Keiran Jack.I don't mean to intrude or anything, but I have writen a Preview for the game tonight, and I thought I would post it up here, so you could have a look.

Woops, my bad, but I swear he played a bit of the game on him, oh well, best of luck for tonight!
Very winnable game, espescially on your turf.
Do you want pedantic spelling/grammar corrections? ( You wrap a game up, but you are rapt with your team's performance).

Massive game now, considering we can get 5th spot of we win.
If Carlton win and Hawthorn lose and we win both games we have 5th spot!
Cmon boys some extra incentive always helps.
