Team changes for the Bulldogs

Personally I am happy to be playing under the roof this week for once. We should be aiming to increase our percentage this week and with the weather being like it is and the dogs being average our boys should be aiming for a 10 goal minimum win at least at Ethihad and keeping their score very low.

Dogs can play some ok football in patches,, danger game! they all are.


Bloody nervous nelly, get up to speed Pops, this is not the RFC of previous years mate. It is not if but by how much mate. We need percentage this week and we should get it.

Yep I agree. I was touting that last Bullies game as a danger game and it turned out not to be. As long as the players actually believe this isn't a walkover then we should get over the line comfortably. Be great to see Azza kick a bag.

What's going in our favour is that a number of the boys are playing for their spot and those that aren't are playing to set the example so we should expect very consistent performances from this point. The depth brought into the club this season is now paying dividends.

Tiges by 73 points.
 
Jack plays well under the roof. Does he have a better strike rate here than the G?
He'll kick 5 or more.

Expect: 4 qtr, stress free but solid effort.

Us by 8 - 10 goals.


Will take: 1 point win/ no injuries.
 
Sort of game that I expect A Edwards to kick a few (4 or 5).

Tigers by plenty.

Can anyone shed light on how the Dogs are affording their own team in the VFL next season? :headscratch

I'm guessing the AFL puts money into struggling clubs as part of an "equalisation" process.

Help Melbourne pay their fines and pay out their coaches, help Footscray finance an AFL side, help North with whatever.
 
This is the most comfortable I've felt about a richmond game for 10 years. Should win pretty comfortably

I wouldn't get too comfortable. Bulldogs have won two of their last three and came home hard against Magpies last game. It's one we should mark down as a gimme but you cannot take them lightly as at their best they can upset. Boyd is the one you need to contain.
 
You don't need to contain Boyd. Let him get it 40 times. Rather that than 20 Griffen touches.

We will win by 10 goals at least. We mauled them only a couple of months ago and the 11 goal margin was very very flattering for them.
 
Doggies have been good of late. I'm a tad worried here also. They are no easy beats and I hope our players watched the second half vs pies on Sunday...dogs were good. They're also now close to full strength. As long as we don't take them at lightly, we should win but I'm tipping a close one.

Agree. Reckon that Griffin is the one we need to stop.

You're talking about the team's attitude. I'm speaking as a supporter. Honestly can't remember being this confident of a win

We'll fund you to stay alive so long as you don't complain when GWS and GC win multiple flags..

they were caned by the pies when it mattered, and before that beat the power, at home, and the saints by about 10 points each. if that is good form then about 15 clubs in the league are in 'good form'.

we will win and win easy.

No I'm talking as a supporter. I feel confident but far from the most confident in memory. Buldogs can play well if you give them a bit of confidence.
 
The Tigers have to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and hammer the Doggies big time.

No reason why Jack couldn't kick 10 in this game, there really isn't.
