Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

I'd play Stevens and ask Wood to do a mountain of work to help the guys out. If we look to free up Wood then Biggs can probably do the job on Garlett, putting Morris on Hogan and Roberts on Pedersen. I feel better about Biggs on Garlett than I do about Roberts on Hogan, ya know?

I would say that if we were to go in with one less tall under this scenario then Wood will need to play on Jack Watts who has been in reasonable form this year (averaging 2 goals a game).

I can't believe Watts is over 6 ft 4, just doesn't seem like it watching him play. Easton would be a good match up all the same.

Despite some patchy form, it's a shame Adams is injured for this one.

This looms as a quality game.

If you look at the AFL team stats, Melbourne is just below us for Cont poss., clearances, stoppages and ahead in centre clearances.

So statistically they are on par with us, so will be a very interesting game.

Good call, totally forgot Watts. Probably need the extra tall then!

Hamling's been poor in the VFL but was probably stiff to be dropped. Think he at least has the wheels to go with Watts, definitely more so than Roberts.

So;

Hamling - Watts
Roberts - Pedersen
Morris - Hogan
Biggs - Garlett

Wood stepping in the way of all of them, Boyd to play exactly as well as he did last week, Melbourne kick 65 points and we win.

Is there a reserved area for Bulldogs GOLD / SILVER members BAD or is it GA?

Phew. I thought it was Mr negativity Dan Lonergan....

The same Dan who wanted us to choose Aish over Bonti!

Bevo Press Conference:

We've got some young defenders playing very good football in the VFL, so one of those will come in to replace Marcus Adams.

Cordy must be a big chance. Would love to see him get a crack at Hogan, great for his development.

Wouldn't Cordy be better suited to Watts?

Re: Match Committee - Round 8 2016 vs Melbourne

I'm nervous about Cordy. Has a great attitude to the contest, but is really sloppy with disposal. I guess we have to find out about all of them at some stage.

Maybe, but Wood could take Watts.

I think his disposal is ok. I saw him pinpoint a few slick passes on Sunday, albeit against terrible opposition.

I still cant believe Aish went top 10! How can you be an outside mid who is slow and lacks a penetrating kick. Jimmy Toumpas mark II! Even more confusing is why Collingwood then went for him and got rid of Seedsman in the process?
