Are we worried he'd lack fitness/ not be up to standard or are we trying to protect his knee by keeping him in the VFL? Because I doubt it'll make much difference to the knee what level he plays at.
Steven's was rusty when he was brought in after injury. I would bring him back through VFL. I know many will disagree however Jong might be worth a go - thought he was good today (although I missed last quarter). Webb was pretty good too -perhaps he get's the nod. Smith was mighty and knowing how brave MC is they might just give him a go.
Do any woofers know how bad Adam's injury is? Though Zaine looked very good in VFL today.
I think we can beat Cats at Etihad and make it 3 out of 3. Go Dogs!!
Josie :)
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.
Menzel might need a rest too, just tweaked his ankle.

I was happy with 9 and 4, but ecstatic if we're 10 and 3.
We need some soldiers back ( just joking tragic, I agree with you)
Not getting ahead of ourselves but we have an easier run after the bye .
Probably two games we'll go in underdogs ( Geelong sydney)
The thing i like the most about where we are at is we have a LOT of improvement, both in terms of manpower (Wood, JJ, Stevens, Dahl) to come back in, who will be ready for a real tilt come the latter part of the year.
This combined with some players who are clearly down on form like Stringer (fair last quarter though)
With the exception of the Hawks game we have really ground out some wins, they haven't been pretty but have set such a core expectation that we're up for it.
All while we play some really super young kids, Dunkley and Williams, Mclean etc
Id like us to set the benchmark at a prelim this year, but when there guys hit 25-28 holy crap the sky is the limit. Imagine the Bont when he has 100games under his belt!
After Geelong's win over Norf last evening, if we were to come out and beat the Cats next week, we'd start to be taken more seriously for this year's premiership by the wider footy community.
At present, I get the feeling non Bulldog's people would 'like' us to do well/win, versus believing we can actually do it this year.
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
