Re: AFL Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
This one's a dead set banana peel.
They've been publicly torched, again, we're getting cute at the selection table, again, and I sincerely have no idea what to expect from us on any given day, let alone how we'll line up, again.

Re: AFL Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
This is a worry on Sunday, it is a must win game, just like against the Gold Coast, and we have trouble winning games we should win, we cannot afford to lose this one.

Re: AFL Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
If we rate ourselves at all this year this game should be a formality. However I'm worried because how we played against Gold Coast. Complacency or Gold Coast are actually a good team, at this stage I'm leaning towards complacency. I hate playing any team with their backs against the wall and Carlton have copped it this week especially Bolton.
In saying that...

You really don't rate our chances tomorrow? Despite the baffling selections I think we should be very confident that we will win. I'm not talking about selling the house and plunking it all down on a Bulldogs win but if we curb the influence of Cripps and a couple of others we should do well.
I've just been seeing enough positive signs in a few of the players that have me believing it will all click for us.
JJ could really be the spark plug for us tomorrow

Re: WB Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
I’m expecting Cripps, curnow (best one), Simpson and McKay to have blinders tomorrow and it will be combating those 4 that will have a big say if we win.
Honestly, I have no hair left with scratching my head so much over MC decisions, and if Dunks rucks a brick may end up through the TV tomorrow.
I had a sick feeling the week leading up to the GC game, and the same jitters are here this week. Like a previous post mentioned, we tend to lose the ones we are expected to win.
I think the Carlton backline can stand up to our barrage of inside 50’s without scoreboard pressure and if they can get it down to curnow, McKay and the likes quickly, I think they will easily we able to out position their much smaller opponents.
I hope I’m proven wrong.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: WB Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
I would like to see Dunks go head to head with Cripps, it would be a good battle and free up the Bont.
Mckay is a very good contested mark and we may have trouble if they kick it to him. Carlton's biggest issue is they haven't been able to kick goals, and haven't had a score over 100 for a long time. I know that is sort of our issue too, but we are the number one club to get the ball inside 50, we must convert these chances tomorrow.
Carlton are actually last with marks inside 50 whereas we are 7th based on 4 games compared to others above us all with 5 games except GWS.

Re: WB Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
With a small forward line, I wonder if we are still going to bomb in 70 entries into the forwardline with long, high kicks on the top of them and the taller Carlton defenders.

Re: WB Game Day Round 5, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Carlton (Marvel Stadium)
Danger game tomorrow. I still think will do enough to win this one but will be close again. Would be nice to get a more comfortable win. Been involved in close ones so far this season. Must! Must! Take our chances when we get it into the forward line. If the defence is strong and we take our chances up forward will win.

Danger game for mine, we play like we did against GC and Carlton are every chance to beat us.
The curse is dead.

I’ll go with that thread title. Good change woofers.

I think we’re a decent chance given the opposition, but it’s very dependent on playing the game completely on our terms. The lack of height in the side is an extreme concern with only Naughton & Cordy as KPP’s, with Cordy more a 2nd or 3rd defender and Naughton only 20 odd games into his career.. Huge load to carry given Carlton have selected a reasonably tall team.
Bevo will either be ahead of the game picking a hybrid team or look a whole lot silly come 3.45pm.
