Pre Match: Pies v. Bulldogs - all comments here pls

[AN_Inkling]

Even bigger for the Dogs though. So, should be a good match.

[eddiesmith]

Given the side we have named and the Dogs shit form, the Pies should win by 10+ goals

OK, I've read all of the last three pages and trawled through some random other bits of this thread as well, and 10 minutes later, I still can't find the bloody team selections.

This is hopeless.

There is always hope:

What the frack's going on with the kicking again?

I really like the sound of Tom Hunter. A rookie but I suspect he'll be on the senior list ASAP. Reports on him are extremely encouraging. Hopefully he'll be another success story for us.

^^Was wet for most of the game, and pouring rain at times in the second half. Still, doesn't entirely account for it though.

Yeah, like the look of Hunter. Good pace, height and very tough. The NSW kids are going well too. Been very impressed with Reed at times, and Young looks a bit of a talent too - played well today.

Hunter Does Look the Good. Loved his Goal in the last QTR

B: : Heath Shaw, Ben Reid, Ben Johnson
HB: Harry O'Brien, Simon Prestigiacomo, Nick Maxwell
C: Luke Ball, Dane Swan, Alan Toovey
HF: Paul Medhurst, Travis Cloke, Alan Didak
F: Dayne Beams, Brent Macaffer, Leon Davis
Foll: Darren Jolly, Scott Pendlebury, Dale Thomas
I/C: Sharrod Wellingham, Steele Sidebottom, Josh Fraser, Leigh Brown
Emg: Tarkyn Lockyer, Cameron Wood, Chris Dawes

In: Davis, Fraser, Brown, Medhurst
Out: John Anthony, Shane O'Bree, Chris Dawes, Cameron Wood

Bloody hell! Fraser and Brown! And Dawes did not play in the twos, I hear. What does that suggest ..... Fraser is NQR and Dawes will play FF with Brown as 2nd ruck, I suppose. On the whole, I'd nearly rather Brown at FF and Jolly to ruck alone.

[Pied Piper]

My tip is Medders to come out and Dawes will hold his place. I also thought he did enough last week, just. Was impressed by both of his goals. But the selectors may think differently.

Sticking with this prediction.

How do you spell the sound of spewing?

[Wokko]

The Anvil's been smashing it in the twos, kicking straight and taking marks. Was a selection made a week late in my opinion. Couldn't ask the guy to do any more to get his spot back. Everyone spitting vitriol about him in and Dawes out needs to watch the last couple of weeks again, because The Anvil would've added a hell of a lot more than rubber guts Dawes has.

Dawes should come good, no question, but his time isn't now. Drops too many marks and goes missing.

[Tannin]

It will do Dawes no harm to spend a week or three out. He will have some time to reflect on his game and remember that senior spots have to be earned, week in and week out. Brown isn't a long-term answer for us at FF, but he can play a valuable role vy making Dawes work hard to get back in.

I actually agree with this. Personally I think its time for Jolly to earn his keep and let Leroy run rampant on lake.

I'm "uber-confident" of a win today, so much so that I may have put a small bet on us (ok not so small).

From what I have been hearing out of the club and the very small sources I have from inside the club, the players and coaches are just plain pissed off with last weeks performance, and are looking at today as somewhat of a day of redemption that will turn our season around.

Add the inclusions of Leon, Meds, Fraser and the physicality of Leigh Brown, and I really am very confident of a win tonight/this arvo.

We will win, I just know it.

[nulla]

Very confident and like the thought of Leroy stirring them up... something that we need as mentioned by MM.


Presti keeps Hall goal less

Ins are a big plus

Eddie to praise the team after winning

Swan and Didak slaughter them.


Ball has 36 possesions

Young players like Beams and Sidey to have big input


5 goal lead in first quarter
8 rough conduct charges laid against Leroy...

Yep you read the first letters correct
