      WOW you boys are aiming high. I think we will just do enough and take it easy and cruse to a win

      Dogs 18 points
      1st goal Croft
      BOG Bont as he won’t be able to help himself showing off with a Jrn side against him

      BB.

      Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

        West Coast’s average losing margin away from home is about 8 goals so the expectation, given how we perform against the lower ranked teams should be a very comfortable win.

          We thought this also a couple of years ago and it ended badly for us

            A lot has changed since 2023. We've gotten better and theyve gotten worse. Eagles have lost a lot of experienced players who hurt us 2 years ago.

            There's always an element of surprise with the dogs but I'm not worried about this game and I was very worried about the Dees game.

              Same here.
              I didn't let on due to my optimism, but I was worried about the Dees game, even before the coach's sacking.

              I think we have the next two in the bag.

                Same, if both games or even one game was in Perth I'd feel a little uneasy, but we do need to treat each opponent seriously, zero complacency.

                      I'm really keen to see Jordan Croft kick his first goal in the seniors.

                      It will be interesting to see if he gets any ruck opportunity as well. The kid is still pretty skinny.

                        I think he takes second ruck duties. His form at Footscray has coincided with get involved in the game via ruck minutes.

                          Am away so won’t be at this one.
                          predicting a 100 point win.
                          Naughton and Darcy to kick 5 each
                          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
