Maybe a silly question but the gate takings , do they just go straight to the AFL pockets or are they split between the teams or is it treated as our home game?
If the revenue gets split between the two clubs maybe we should put in to play the big sides in all
Three NAB cup games.

It's a good question. God knows where the money goes is my answer.

Even when they explain stuff like that I often don't understand the explanation...

Bulldogs load-up for final NAB Challenge

The Western Bulldogs have made 15-changes, naming their strongest NAB Challenge line-up yet for Saturday afternoon’s final NAB Challenge match against Collingwood at Etihad Stadium.

Senior coach Luke Beveridge has loaded up on experience for his side’s last hit-out prior to the home and away season, with All-Australian’s Robert Murphy, Jake Stringer and Easton Wood, as well as young gun Marcus Bontempelli amongst the inclusions for the weekend.

The Bulldogs will be looking to emulate the performance that earned them a 61-point victory over the Pies in the corresponding fixture last season.

Senior players Matthew Boyd, Luke Dahlhaus and Mitch Wallis have also been named in the squad and the backline will be bolstered by the return 2015 Most Improved Player award winner Jason Johannsen and veteran Dale Morris.

Draftees Marcus Adams and Kieran Collins and have also been named in the 27-man squad.

Notable omissions:
Roberts
Webb
Dunkley
Honeychurch
Minson
Dickson
Dale

Interesting. No Minson.
I assume we won't debut both Adams and Collins Round 1, and Hamling played closer tot he CHB role so Adams vs Hamling for one spot seems about right.

Campbell vs Roughy

Perhaps Boyd vs Redpath or McLean vs Daniel to determine who makes way fro the last round 1 spot.

I think the MC prefers Campbell over Minson. I also think Roughead will also be in the team come round 1.

Dickson must be injured. Bugger. Hope it's nothing serious.

Dickson the most notable absentee for mine.

He must be. Either that or it's a really long rest which would be surprising given he's only played a half of football.

So it's TC over Minson for Rd 1 then?

You'd assume so.

Hamling out, Roberts in according to twitter now. Makes Adams a very, very good chance for round 1 now

Dickson is a big blow given Crameri is already gone. Presuming he is now a big doubt for R1, that means 2 of our main 3 forward weapons will be missing. Big holes but also big opportunities.

Big man situation a little clearer, with Roberts and Minson now looking to be option B (or C).

Presumably it's 2 of Collins/Hamling/Adams at the key back posts and any 3 of Campbell/Boyd/Roughy/Redpath for Ruck/Forward, with Campbell the only one looking highly likely.

With the mids, I'd reckon it's down to Biggs, Jong, Hrovat, McLean and Daniel fighting for 2 spots, the rest appear locks.

Any reason given?

Bummer about Dickson. Amazing the amount of times he was able to steady us/ keep us in the game by kicking straight. Straight kicking is still underrated in the AFL.

Just having a look at the side surely we wouldn't go in against Fremantle with Boyd, Redpath, Campbell and Roughead?

The only way I see that working is if Roughead is fullback which doesn't look to be on the cards going by preseason so far.
