[bornadog]

Can we win it woofers? I think this club desperately needs a scalp like Geelong to take this teams horizon to another level.

why not? Go Dogs !!!

The bed deserved it. Wasn't bedding right

I heard there was a second sleeper. The bedpost went back and to the left.

Bevo mentioned if Jack plays he can't be the sub and has to play a full game, when heavily questioned about his omission from the first two rounds. I'd be surprised if he went back on that and Jack isn't in the midfield mix all game. I get he wasn't prolific last week but it was a first game back having not been at the senior level for over a month.

Happy with Duryea being the sub and pushing JJ or Dale further up the ground if we sub out a wing or a HFF, or injury forces a change. Without Jack or Daniel starting I feel we're a bit short for quality midfield cover.

Is Geelong an athletic team who hurt you on the burst or are they a team who will beat you at the source?

For mine if its at the source we start Macrae if its on the spread or burst Macrae may be the sub.

Man, this is the most irresistible bait but I don't wanna harsh anyone's post-Bombres pantsing buzz.

I'll leave that to the Handbaggers and specifically their forward line.

They used to hurt us everywhere, inside and out when Selwood and Dangerfield were at the top of their games!

To me (with those guys not playing) this is a golden opportunity for our midfielders in Bont, Treloar, Libba and Jacko to show some grit and dominance at the source. Jacko isn't a burst runner but he can run all day, I'd play him and let him go for it until he's tired if that ever actually happens.

We play our best when all of these guys are contributing well, I want to see if they still have it in them to dominate a game against a good team.

Nobody on the bench really fits that bill (although Duryea is still very quick). But a lot of our versatility is in the back half so it makes sense we'd put someone who can release that into the sub position.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ed is the sub. He's so effective you want him on the ground or the bench, but if you look at his skills, speed and smarts he could be the perfect sub/impact player. If he was to come on early due to an injury the magnets wouldn't move too much.

MVP tonight is Matthew Egan. His understanding of Geelong could easily be the difference in the Dogs coaching box. He's a steely minded character. Probably been thinking about this game since he signed on. He knows how Scott ticks. We might even be half a step ahead if Bevo heeds the wisdom and I have a feeling he will, he wants to prove he can change and learn (and keep his job).
Tight game, draw, or Dogs by enough, although by a 3 or 4 goals would be mighty satiating.
