Changes vs Bulldogs 2025

Wasn’t that the same guy as we had for Wright who argued that 2MP should get three weeks?

Just comes down to structure.
If he wants to keep 3 talls in defence as he has all year, Lav is the only option.

Hope not though.
Have loved the endeavour from Lav over the years, but he is done.

Dogs returning from a humid 34°C in Darwin is going to be at least some factor in this one.

Canberra then Ballarat then Darwin. Interesting schedule.

Still… I really rate them.

Am I the only one who thinks dropping Hobbs is a strange move against Dog’s mid field. He’s been very solid without dominating. Does a job and does it very well. I’d get him to rough up Libba all night. Durham is Bonts Father and Hobbs is the Mother of Libba

Hearty concur. Tracking beautifully.

It’s strangely a great position that we are in that we have a very young team, Tsatas and Johnson kicking the door in, parish and cox to build up for consideration, and wins on the board.

Even Gerreyn is building a nice little start to his VFL experience.

I felt we’d be looking dead right about now.

Devastated for the long term injured guys, but I’m sure each will make a full recovery.

Changes for this week: I guess when we said laverde and goldy were break glass in case of emergency, I didn’t think it would be this early in the season. I have no issue with lav coming back in, running out of options. I can’t see how Tsatas remains out. One needs to go, it would be shiel for me but that feels unfair after the last 5 weeks he’s put in.

At some point goldy needs a rest, very happy if Vigo gets a run, even if he still looks raw as hell.

No need for Lav this week.

Reid and McKay to play on Naughton and Khamis. Redman can take Khamis if they decide to swing Lobb forward.

Out: Hayes
In: Johnson
