Out: Blair Dwyer ?

Blair is as safe as churches and Dwyer would benefit from another run in the ones, although I would love to get a look at Broomhead.

Danger game this week I mean it totally.
I can see 4 or 5 of our players getting leather poisoning after this game from having it too much.
Ins and outs won't be major this week.
A great chance for Trav to hit some form as they don't have anyone capable of going with him and his body strength.
Only thing is the 6 day break but we weren't punished physically on Monday so we shouldn't have to many sore bodies.
Think Bucks and the match committee will take the opportunity to mix it up a. It giving some fringe players different roles to push claims for the week after.
The dogs have been under the pump the past couple of weeks from the media do they will come out firing and try to do a Melbourne on us.
Thing is they are very low on talent and skill.
Hope we turn up ready to make a statement before taking aim at the hawks.
Pies by 40 - 50 and no injuries would be w perfect result IMO

I think there is a good chance we will see Broomhead debut in this one, the Bulldogs lack pace and Bucks will be keen to exploit that by adding his speed, and we have only blooded one first gamer in Langdon, this is a chance to have a good look at him and add to the list depth against a team that is really starting to struggle.

Maybe two changes at the most:
Broomhead and White for Fasolo and Witts

Wittsy might need a rest, that way White / Grundy can go up against Minson.
Fas has been hit and miss so run him in the twos and give Broomhead a crack at it.

Loving Seedsman / Young / Williams / H running off half back. We have a lot of pace there and pretty decent foot skills to hit our leading targets. Will only get better when we have Cloke, White and Reid all presenting as options.

Another team playing their grand final this week so we need to stay focused and get the job done.

Go Pies!

One more team playing their grand final this week so we need to stay focused and get the job done.

Beware the wounded palooka.

This mob, like Rocky, are trying to prove they are not a bum...

Unlike rocky, they are.

The question is, why don't they do it against Hawthorn, or Geelong, or Fremantle...

You want only one?

Can't believe how under rated the Doggies are by posters thus far, they've stockpiled some serious talent over the last few drafts and have some top shelf talent among their older players. Yes, the cupboard is a little bare between those groups but I still wouldn't be underestimating them.

Can't foresee too many changes this week. Fasolo appears to be the guy most at risk of being omitted. Dwyer was as fumbly as I can ever recall but ultimately he's normally very assured with his ball handling so should be better for the run. Hard to identify anyone beyond that.

Starting to get a bit of a queue of replacements. White, Kennedy, Broomhead, and Martin would all be considered. Not sure why Adams missed Saturday and Monday but he'd also be in the picture if fit.

^ they are also getting repeat inside 50s just not converting. Their midfield is working hard just getting let down up forward. This could be turned around in a one off game.

I think Witts might get a rest with White coming back in. Not form related just a rest.

I think we need another gut runner as we missed sidey on Monday.
Ball will start on the ground you'd think.

Kennedy or adams should come in for Dwyer or fasolo.

Broomhead could also be a smokey.

Would think after Monday though Blair is as safe as houses.
