Four things to watch: Giants v Dogs
Aug 16, 2019 1:00PM

1. A crucial clash
After a disappointing loss to Hawthorn in the snow last Friday night, the Giants will be hungry for a win. With a home-elimination final on the line, it’s just as much a crucial clash for the home-side as it is for the hopeful Bulldogs.
Desperately seeking two more wins in the final two rounds of the home and away season, a victory over the Giants would hold the Dogs in great stead ahead of next week’s clash with the Crows at Mars Stadium. But it won’t be easy.
Falling by 33-points at the hands of Hawthorn during Round 8 this year, the Giants came firing at the Blues the following week – claiming the 93-point victory in Round 9. If the Bulldogs are going to get the W, it’s not going to come easily.

2. 73-weeks
A lot can happen in 73-weeks, which is how much time has passed since the Dogs and Giants last met.
In their previous encounter, the Bulldogs played in what felt like a nightmare. Tom Liberatore suffered a torn ACL and the Giants claimed the 82-point victory at UNSW Oval. However, since that day 73-weeks ago, the Dogs have faced an overwhelming amount of change and growth, deeming a comparison almost impossible.
On that day, first-gamer Aaron Naughton played his role in defence, alongside high-flyer Hayden Crozier in his first match in red, white and blue. Tim English lined up in the ruck after playing only two games at AFL-level and Easton Wood tested a stint in the forward line.
The Giants will be faced with a new look side this Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium, and we can’t wait

3. Dunkley v Greene
In an outstanding run of form, 22-year-old midfielder Josh Dunkley has solidified himself as one of the competition’s best young midfielders in 2019. Pair that with GWS’ attacking midfielder Toby Greene, and we’ll have a contest on our hands.
Not afraid to put their head over the footy, both Dunkley and Greene are known to have a huge impact in the middle of the ground, while assisting up forward when needed.
Both dominant around stoppages, the Greene v Dunkley battle is shaping up to be a key talking point of Sunday’s crucial clash. We’ll be eagerly awaiting that first bounce.

4. The return to Giants (Spotless) Stadium
It almost feels like a lifetime ago that the Bulldogs and Giants battled it out in Sydney, for a spot in the 2016 Grand Final. We all know how that panned out in a stadium flooded with red, white and blue, but with a growing GWS supporter base, Sunday’s match could look very different.
The Bulldogs haven’t returned to Giants Stadium (previously named Spotless Stadium) since the 2016 preliminary final, so for a large majority of the Club’s young list, the travel to Sydney will be their first taste of the Giants on their home turf.
A win over Port Adelaide on the road, earlier this year before a competitive performance against second placed Brisbane at The Gabba two weeks ago, should give the young pups the confidence they need ahead of Sunday afternoon.

At the VFL game. Apparently Josh Wallis is off sick with a flu and Tim English supposed to have it as well. ��
Lewis Young apparently flew up as coverage for Tim. Hope for the best and all fingers crossed for Tim to be 100% for the game.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Forecast is for a sunny but windy 23 deg. Depending on the ground orientation, it could be a good toss to win.

Young to full back I presume Trengove to ruck.

Who rucks?

[Bulldog4life]

Who rucks?

Trengove I would think

[divvydan]

Young named in the ruck but would also expect Trengove to ruck, Cordy onto Himmelberg and Young onto their debutant tall Sproule.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Young to full back I presume Trengove to ruck.

I think these two outs for both teams favours us more. Unhappy to loss English but we will better off than GWS.

Get it right Basil! it should be a great start to the Dogs. Good goal Tory.
