There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
.ru serious about george?....brings heat the envy of any club
.one poor game where he should have been moved to salem (urs zip yes) & ur on him?!
.we need more of him
Salem, Lever, May all played well last week because the delivery to our fwds was hopeless due to Melbourne's midfield pressure. It's not going to get any easier for our mids this week but they have to work harder, run to the contest and only pick guys who are fit. If Cotch is carrying an injury then rest him, he certainly looked unable to go up and back as he needed to.
Out: Martin, Lambert, Grimes (ankle), Aarts (too many smalls)
In: CCJ, RCD, Ross, Caddy

.I'm hoping for a bigger, faster approach
.rcd-middle muscle,
.ccj-jack's buffer while tom roams,
.last chance chol wing-where no one runs at u

Not sure why people are asking for Caddy to return. Would be a step backwards in my opinion. Great servant and thank you but time to look forward.
This game will tell us a great deal about where our gameplan is at. If the Bulldogs pick us apart with precision ball movement, and we can't shut them down defensively, there are big warning signs. I sense we are 'all in' on winning this game. No more cruising along hoping to claim an easy 4 points because we don't want to peak this early in the season. This will be a true test for the team and the 'system'. It's going to be a fascinating game as I reckon the Dogs are a genuine contender.
Happy for Riley, well-earnt debut. I'm hoping CCJ also comes in to give nank a chop out and to stretch the doggies backs.
Don't want to see Pickett rucking even though he has surprised in some rucking contests.
Ins: RCD, Ross and CCJ
Outs: Dusty, Lambert, Aarts
But think the match committee will go RCD and Ross in, with dusty & lambert out (in)

Both Aarts and Houli have survived pretty ordinary contributions over a few weeks now.
There is a sameness about Dimma’s response to poor form. If he likes you he tries hard to keep you.
If you look at the basics of our game plan however it appears that Bachar has slowed up and is no longer the player he has been.
Aarts too has shown what he has.
Bulldogs will play tall.
Surely there is room for another tall in black and yellow?
Changes for this week .
Go back to playing forwards inside F50. Eg Rioli , Aarts and Castagna playing high each week and therefore opponents drop off and create 3 on 1 against Lynch / Riewoldt as we saw last week
Richmond are too predictable as shown against Swans and Dees and were simply outcoached
Inside 50 count is good
Game plan needs tweaking at present

Great point you make about small forwards pushing too far up the ground.
