Preview Sydney Vs Western Bulldogs - Yeah let's revisit that again

[Bloods86]

They bat way deeper than us through the middle unfortunately

Same as Rd 17 last year, minus Dunkley.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Key part is:



So would expect him to be out for a few weeks at least.

Always a bit disappointing when a player is clearly injured but plays out the game - only to be revealed to be seriously hurt.

The question arises as to how much more damage was done.

 

[caesar88]

Not so much worried about the game itself but Sheldrick being out is a bummer. In a season that's felt arduous to follow, it seems we can't even enjoy little glimmers of hope for long.

The positive to come out of it is that, just as Sheldrick got his opportunity when Roberts went down with injury, Roberts may now get his opportunity with Sheldrick out. (Not this week clearly but possibly in a few weeks.)

Pity we had a defence and a forwardline, a non cooked ruck and more than 1-2 mids in form. Now watch Horse play Mills in defence to top it off

I think even Horse has run out of options, has to play Mills on ball (welcome to the mids Braeden). Plus we wouldn't be dumb enough to have a KPD as sub again, and then go "Oops, we're too tall down back in the wet, didn't expect that. Let's throw TMac forward and Mills back to solve it." Probably?

Um, Ladhams went off injured, Reid had to ruck. Bud and Paps had 2.5 each. We have a defence now, we just put them under way more than we should.

We thought Horse wouldn’t do it last week when he named KPD as the sub lol! Mills still ended back in defence.

 

[Nuggetz]

We'll win

 

[tombomb]

Just a nightmare of a season.

We get the key position players back and then start losing running players.

We simply have to assign Clarke to Dale or there's no real point having him in. Would rather just play Wicks tbh.

One for every free kick against. Nice.

After Mills didn’t offer much in the midfield and kept turning the ball over by foot…

 

[wilsonmatic]

Win the next two and suddenly we're back in the pack fighting for a spot in the 8.

A few turnovers so what least he was getting the ball and you don’t move our best mid if Warner isn’t there.

 

[The King!]

Sheldrick " injured " must be tanking

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol yeah that is so not happening

 

[The King!]

If Stephens doesn't play this week he is done in Sydney

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If he does ply can it not be on the wing. Jeez he may not work but we are not helping him- play him inside

I'm not in charge sorry

 

[Bloods86]

Lol yeah that is so not happening

Yeah, did a ladder predictor run the other day where we won every game. Finished 9th still. Alternated some losses/wins for teams around 8th that play each other too.

Not happening.

 

[Bloods86]

I'm not in charge sorry

What good are all The King!s horses if Longmire isn't one of them.

 

[wilsonmatic]

Lol yeah that is so not happening

Are you 100% sure?

 

[caesar88]

Stephens is done in Sydney. Sorry, I don't make the rules. The King! does.

Warner Jr., Amartey & Wicks in

Sheldrick (inj.), Lloyd (inj.), Hickey (omitted) and Francis (sub) out

Interesting going in without a number 1 ruck
