Two games that didn’t go our way, realistically not down to players fault, we would be 6 and 3, which would see us 6th and equal 4th on marginal percentage.
Absolutely no reason we cannot win this game. I would not rush a player in underdone, I am expecting minimal changes.
Smack plays but, so help me, if anyone with the footy looks up, sees we outsize them in the fwd 50 and starts bombing, I will starting throwing sh*te at the TV.
Even better, massive games to play for, a good win this Sat, percentage on Carlton, and roll Hawthorn with confidence, then let the boys go have a great bye/refresh. The last half the of season we will be only one game from top 4, aim for that!
Don’t underestimate that dude Dimma, laptop or not he could probably outcoach Woosha with a blindfold on come gameday. We need to actually be significantly better than them to win, if you know what I mean, because Dimma knows how the get his players to grind out matches even against top sides…
If we have a Naughton type performance from Smack or Joe, we have a chance. Otherwise I expect their game plan to fully negate ours even at their low ebb.
Naughton took some ripping marks but at the end of the day it was the fact the Dogs midfield took it up to Tigers and was able get through their pressure
Thats where we shine, McKenna and Saad the last couple of weeks have not been at their peak, if both produce in conjunction with our mids producing we should be bombing it forward all night long.
Saad has been good but McKenna needs to find his game again, we shouldn’t need Walla going down to half back to create this run and then to mark and goal every week.
Sounds great in theory i agree. Although i think the doggies mids are superior to ours in that they do generally run both ways better than us. I hope I’m wrong but it’s hard to see that changing given our recent record against Richmond and how easily they do beat us. They are literally our kryptonite. So sick of losing to these ■■■■■■
