Love how they have played Williams back from the first game of the year(obviously because he has a great preseason) and they are leaving him there. He is a confidence player and continuity is what he needs and it's showing early. He is a lock for round 1, well done to him.

[bornadog]

I don't understand why we are playing Young forward

[chef]

Putting Cordy on Gray is a bit cruel.

[Rocco Jones]

I don't understand why we are playing Young forward

I think looking at Round 1 a bit. Naughton being possibly out means we might go with another tall forward, if we go that way, Lewis is in.

If they both don't play, I think spot 22 goes to Roarke Smith at the moment. I can't believe I am saying that....

[Eastdog]

Decent hit out. I think we have played well. 2nd quarter was the struggle.

[LostDoggy]

One thing that is already annoying me is Dwayne and calling Hunter hunner the T is not silent

[AndrewP6]

Sure it's only presason, but dropping games in that fashion really, really bothers me.

[bornadog]

The commentators called this from the studio, pretty weak really, but I guess a practise match Fox doesn't want to spend the money. Dwayne is so annoying

[GVGjr]

Granted Zaine's had a rough one but I'm yet to see why Wood's any safer and remain unconvinced we have room for both.

Vastly better 2nd half. He's in no danger

I have Roarke playing wing right now. Good luck to the kid, he's battled hard. Not sure it's a long term proposition but he's ahead of Hayes right now.

Giving up the last 5 goals of the game and we also got smashed in the clearances in those last 15mins.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

A lot to work on - we are far from a finished product which we knew.

Important to keep improving and tinkering. Talk of top 4 and premierships is nice and we need to aim high but we have ground to make up on those ahead of us.

Some interesting selections ahead for round one. Bring it on!

[GVGjr]

Lewie Young is our best relief ruck, much better than Bruce or Schache in that role. Big question - can he keep his spot when Naughton's back? He might nudge Schache out.

It's certainly looking that way. I'm not sure we won't just be happy with anyone relieving in the ruck though

[westbulldog]

Perhaps we put the cue in the rack, hope that was the case. imo Dale, Wallis and McLean are no certainties for R1. He rest are I think. And Dwayne...…….duh.
