4/376 .. not good, not the end of the world. I wish I didn’t have to attend a wedding that starts at 3.30pm tomorrow!

8/868
Played: P Cripps, P Dow, S Docherty, J Short, J Dunkley, C Daniel, B Grundy and J Macrae (C)

No complaints so far and looking forward to going Gawnless tomorrow.

 

[Gruffles]

Ok buddy, let's do this!

7/737: Dusty, Short, Maynard, Daniel, Macrae, Bont, Scott. (McNeil)

First rookie out of the way. 6 and 2 low midpricers to go. 7 more premiums including the captain.

 

[Gruffles]

Not sure which 2 to field though? What do you reckon?

Flynn and Hunter.

Dogs mids could do a number on a few rucks this year. NicNat, Goldy, OMac, Witts and Flynn over next 5 rounds

Flynn and Hunter.

Agreed. They are both up against first gamers. Meek has Gawn

Not bad so far Mr C but I reckon Gawn will do much better than Grundy. Tim and Stefan worked him over pretty badly tonight - I don't think (hope) its representative.

Trouble is, the pies midfield at best struggle to win a clearance so again this may be another red flag.

Wowee well look at that!

Quality post

They did just play the best midfield in the comp. Adams is underdone and they are trying new/more rotations from guys like Degoey. As bad as they looked, don't think they will stay that bad. Probably don't get near the eight though.

3/301

macrae, dunkley and grundy so far

changed from dusty -> danger at the final moment yesterday and regretting it

 

[Darkie]

Not quite, Macrae now 118

Five Pies defenders with 90+% TOG.

Five Pies defenders with 90+% TOG.

So what do you take from that? Do they need an extra defender to help even the load? Or are they endurance beasts, or couldn't get a proper rest due to the extra 150 odd possessions to the Doggies.
