What are we thinking about the Brad Scott news and how it will impact their players?
And the latest news is Scott will be sacked , why around when we play them ?
We all know what happens when stories like this get out .. they win.
Well I still have hope we can win as they haven’t sacked him yet, I see it two ways they will completely fold and we get a huge win or they fight and pull one over us.

First goal Naughty.
My thoughts exactly... why not wait another week!
Frankly, we're playing a 2-and-7 team who's sufficiently crap they've just sacked the cockroach.
If we're fair dinkum we torch them.
TORCH them.
Yep fair enough..let’s do that then
We are no chance.

First goal Bailey
BOG Daniel
Just what we don’t want.
North in a close one.
1st goal - dale
Bog - macrae
My heart says we win.
But it’s a bottom 3 team so we get rolled by 5.
Players found out about Brad Scott after the newspapers did - not sure how that can be good for morale. I mean, who do they need to impress in the coaches box tomorrow when the senior coach will be gone at 5pm?

Brad Scott to resign effective immediately in the after match press conference!!!
Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne (MS) Fox 2:10pm - From Titus.
I guess some people will be interested in this game, but I do worry I’m wasting my time writing this as no one will read it, instead skipping over this entirely.
That would be a real shame as… well who am I kidding, the only interesting bit about this for neutral fans will be watching Brad Scott’s facial reactions if the Kangaroos are getting smashed.
Brad should send a basket of fruit with a nice card to Brendon Bolton to say thanks for distracting everyone from the true masterpiece of a disaster he is curating this season.
Only by Carlton standards could this not be judged an abject failure.
Luckily Brad isn’t one for excuses, except this week when he said, ‘Certainly in hindsight if I could go back, I'd change the 6-6-6 (rule) because it's killed North Melbourne.’
If only he knew it was coming. It’s strange he didn’t see that given he sits on the competition committee that approved it.
The Bulldogs are pretty average this season but off the field they are way ahead if your judge them on ‘feuding with Damian GrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrub’.
Luke Beveridge seems a bit obsessed with this. I’m not sure why, feuding with someone who commentates on the game, and I include myself in this, would be like pulling the car over to argue with a group of kids because they were swearing.
It entertains the kids and makes them feel powerful, while it takes time out of your day when you should be focusing on important things, like how did your team fall apart so spectacularly after winning a premiership?
Bulldogs to win this.
and ( I like this bit )
"The Cats already have impressive wins over the Pies, Adelaide, West Coast and the AFL Tribunal system (twice)."
I'm really looking forward to this game but I suspect it's going to be a arm wrestle for a few quarters and not necessarily a free flowing game. The Brad Scott final game as coach could potentially fire up his team which is a distraction we probably didn't need
North have a number of players that thrive on a contested possession game in particular Cunnington and Ziebell so depsite their position on the ladder I don't think this will be an easy game for us.
Defensively we should match-up well with them and the challenge for us is to not run Ben Brown into form. I'm hoping that JJ, Crozier, Daniel and Suckling can really provide a lot of run for us and Wood should be able to find suitable match-ups against Zurhaar or Ziebell.
Tarrant and Thompson won't make it easy for Naughton so we need someone like Lloyd, Wallis and McLean to step up as multiple goal kickers
Ed Richards needs to find a bit of the ball today as does Dale and Williams

Wallis first goal kicker
And as an eternal pessimist of a Doggies supporter, I say that's exactly why we will lose.
Bottom side - check
Totally crap - check
Just sacked their coach - check
Doggies players to rest on their laurels a la Carlton - check
