[Dry Rot]

Has McDougall played a premiership match for us yet?

Yes, he played round 1 versus Geelong. That's it.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Yes, he played round 1 versus Geelong. That's it.

Doogs also played the following round against Adelaide.

Shame he hasn't done enough to get back in. God knows we're crying out for a mobile marking CHF.

[LostDoggy]

As Hahn is gone for the season can he be put on the long term injury list? If so can we elevate another rookie? Excuse me if this is a dumb question.

I think we have passed the last week where a rookie could be elevated

[LostDoggy]

Thanks.

It might be a make or break game for Tiller.

It would be an incredible promotion if it was him

He seems to have really picked up his game in the second half of the year, but I still cant but feel he should have got more Werribee senior opportunities

If its him I hope he really puts his best foot forward

Goodness!! Yes, that's true. Just goes to show what a forgettable performance it was. Either that, or senility is kicking in.

[LostDoggy]

We'll already have Harris, Grant, Williams, Everitt and Hargrave.

I'm more concerned about being outrun than outmarked.

The only other way I see Tiller making a debut is that they drop Street and play Darcy and Wight in the ruck.

Otherwise I agree I think Hill will get a run.

He really didn't look confident enough to play senior AFL footy against Adelaide. There was one dropped mark where the ball hit his hands and bounced off that seemed to sum up how lacking in confidence he was/is

[Bulldog Revolution]

Coach Rodney Eade said two players were in line for a debut, with Stephen Tiller, 20, expected to become the fifth youngster blooded this year.

If Tiller played, we'd play him as a forward?

He has played the last few weeks as a forward so I guess that will be the best option. When he was in the 2nds he did play in the back line a couple of times.

I hope he does well but the difference between adding Tiller compared to Everitt is that Spida junior was in better form than what Tiller has displayed. I think there is a couple of guys ahead of him really so I'm a little surprised.

Me too. It seems Tiller has been building up progressively as the year has gone on which has been pleasing, but not too sure he'd be ready for an AFL match, but I honestly have seen very little of him in the past few years so I'm not too cluey on his progress. Baird was also a bit of a surprise inclusion last year though I guess, and he added some good positives to our forward mixture for mine. Perhaps their hoping Tiller can replicate something similar - and I guess he's slightly more 'proven' as a back too which adds to his cause with a bit more versatility.

"while Peter Street and Matthew Robbins could be axed."

??? Minson has hamstring tightness. How can we drop Street? (As terrible as he was last week and definately deserves it)
