Preview Sydney v Bulldogs SCG Sunday 3:20

[Kbroome]

Dogs are going to be coming hard at us just like Brisbane last week.

The ladder squeeze.
If Dogs lose they are out on the street. Alone. A long fight to get back in the 8.

Gonna be a great game!!

Yep its a race to get to 52+ points to make the 8 imo. Dogs will get in with 52 because of their % but if they loose to the Swans it would mean they have to win 3 of their last 4

Kinda sad we have to wait another 3-4 weeks for our next ridiculously sexy kick for goal by Jake Lloyd

I don't think so, as long as McInerney is out, I think Jake will pop up every week or two with a goal... this could be his highest scoring season... I reckon he could get as many as 8 or 9 if we make the GF!

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

This is a must-win imo.

Losing simply isn’t an option with another bogey team coming up the following week and Carlton with a fixture that’s soft as duck shit.

Win this and we will finish first without a doubt. Lose and the players will have lingering doubts and it could spiral.

It's a potato cake this was decreed

No... just no... I'm raising your decreed, and deeming it a scallop!

Thanks to my St Kilda bet, sadly I have to concur.

I didn't bet... so I don't have to concur... gave up all forms of gambling! Yay me!!!



Back to the game, we're a better team than the doggies, they have stars, we have a system... we'll win!

SHAKE DOWN THE THUNDER!!!

Dogs will be favourite in their next 4 games

We really need to beat the Dogs because the next game is six days later away against a red hot bogie team Port after an 8 day break.

I guarantee the umps are going to ruin it.

I have questions over how we are bringing Mills back.

It seems odd to bring him back on the wing, when that is the position we have probably been strongest all year and also requires a lot of running.

My guess is we don’t think he is ready to play in the guts, but that still doesn’t explain the wing. Why not in defence, where we have been a little bit weaker of late? Is the concern that we not sure if he is sharp enough?

Also odd to bring him back when we are not confident he can play out a full game.

It seems like we have been trying to find a way to bring him in as soon as possible, potentially to help him be cherry ripe for when finals swing around. I do wonder though if we could have achieved a similar result by being him back through the reserves, while also making sure he can play out a full game in a position that suits the team’s needs when he does play firsts.

If he wasn’t captain, would we have taken another approach?

When you say we are you talking about big footy or the coaching/ medical staff?

Thanks Kirkswan. GUH used to write Shake Down the Thunder in his match day posts. You honour him well.

Unfortunately…this would be paying $1.01 it is so likely

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Dream scenario is Logan McDonald is near the top of the last in the next couple of years .

Dream scenario:

It’s 3/4 time in the 2027 GF & dual Norm Smith Medallist Angus Sheldrick is well on track to secure a third.

Meanwhile, word is filtering out that Harley Reid has requested a trade to Tasmania.

I'm sorry, but we have a ridiculously ****ing good team. I hope they aren't drinking their own bathwater though.

 

[McRobie]

Not sure about that .

Especially if it's close

Yep no chance that happens.

 

[Edmund hunt]

Francis is not playing today. People speculating Hayward will be a late out.

would make no sense to send him interstate in case anyone got hurt

 

[SM]

And McCartin. Almost every premiership team of the last 15 years has had at least one elite key defender in their back-line. I'm a huge McCartin fan but he's not there yet. Age and time is on his side though, so he's our best hope.

Time is not on his side, think he's only got a year or two left with the way his concussions are going.

I suspect more likely that he is simply not travelling to play ressies as an emergency, given they are playing in Brisbane town. But Hayward out wouldn't surprise anyone if it did happen.

Its less than that its a week to week basis with Tommy all it takes is a reckless/accidental collision and thats it

Hell of a way to make a living for maybe one decade of a 4-5 decade working life.

The dogs midfield isn't as good as ours

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Meredith one of the umpires for tomorrow.

Hayward out, Wicks/Warner in, Francis sub.

Are you saying that’s official, or just hypothesising?
