"Strap yourselves in" :(
It's going to be about the ins and the outs. Which kids come in and which current best 22 come out. I wish the press would stop guessing who they'll be. It's narrowing the field for ross.

The whole thing was brilliant thanks but that the last five times list is pretty amazing. I think people on here were saying about those games, that when we play the bullies we're allowed to play like them because ross finds it sexy or something.
 
I just hope we are still in the game come halftime or 3 quarter time to bring the crowd into it. Both games so far have been over in either the 1st 10 mins or very early in the 2nd

Expecting to lose but I'll be looking forward to hopefully Balic or Logue playing. Hopefully Croz in the backline, maybe Tabs up forward.

Back into old Freo mode. Take the little enjoyments out of the game.
 
Besides the mass resting games before finals, what are the most changes RTB has made? Don't remember anything more than four.

Sorry to pull you up on this but we played them round 1 2016

R1, 2016, Western Bulldogs 15.13 (103) d Fremantle 5.8 (38) at Etihad Stadium

I think you could copy and paste that this week, just change the venue :(

Some very conservative score predictions here. I moved my prediction of the Port game from 10 to 20 goals after seeing our selections and sure, I went a little high but not much.
I'm going to stick with 20 goals but not with much confidence as I feel 25 goals is on the cards here. I suspect we may manage 6 or 7 goals against what is one of the best defensive units in the league but I fully expect the Dogs to run in at least 30.
As for changes what I'd like to see is Hughes, Balic, Logue, Collins, Sheridan and Crozier come in with Croz to half back, Sheridan to run with someone and Weller to the forward half and Blakely to midfield with more game time. Griffin out and just play one ruck.
What I expect to happen is Balic, Hughes and Sheridan to be named on extended interchange and possibly one of them to come in a the expense of Suban. We know he's a Ross favourite son but he's been used as a sacrificial lamb before. If there is a real revolution and 2 players come in I think Sutcliffe might be the other unlucky one, he's copped it before too.
As low as my expectations are I don't think Ross can afford to drop one of the young ones currently playing as much as he might want to.

I'd take that score line this weekend.

Dogs aren't big scorers. Yet anyway.

I think they'll make us look silly but I'd be surprised if it goes beyond 10 goals.

I know our forwardline needs some love but moving Weller forward?

We need more skill in the backline to join Weller. Adding Croz and taking Weller doesn't help our biggest issue.

Do you see it differently?

We're going to have to wait for Bennell for an injection of talent to the forward half.

For some reason I think we will win a fair amount of games in the 2nd half just for bringing in Bennell, Ballas, Apness and Alex Pearce in the side

Blakely will be on the block too IMO.
 
Sorry for the intrusion but we don't destroy teams.

If we do win it won't be by that much
Well there's a first for everything. You guys will probably destroy us. You're a great team and we are a very bad one right now!
