Re: Rd 1 team

Adam Cooney would be a gun loose man across half-back, I reckon. Would give the team some serious rebound. Would also free Gilbee to roam up the ground a bit.

I'm only suggesting this if Coons is not 100%, not robbing the goose etc etc.

Re: Rd 1 team

I found this statement very interesting in the bulldogs newsletter...

The Bulldogs are confident Brownlow Medalist Adam Cooney will be fit to face Fremantle in Sunday's round One clash. Western Bulldogs Senior Coach, Rodney Eade has ruled out any of the Club's young guns making their senior debuts this weekend but said second-year player Callan Ward would line up.

Assuming Ward makes the bench and Schwarz is correct in saying both Gia & Williams will take up the 2 other spots on the bench it would appear the final spot will be fought out of Harbrow, Callan & Eagleton and it will be interesting to see who misses out.

Mantis' dream might come true. A 22 without Eagle

I bet who ever misses this week is in next week.
Heard we always play North after coming back from WA and seem flat.

Re: Rd 1 team

Are you wondering if one of them will take his spot or which one will take his spot? The information we have would say that he is definitely not playing.

My mail is that it's no secret and he will play with Willi tomorrow.

Strange why they would even name Murph if he is playing the day before in another State like you said SS.

Express post?

I'm going to the game so it will be interesting to see who is replacing Murphy.

Re: Rd 1 team

A little surprised as I've been told that Murf is showing signs of "OP" and would be rested.

Re: Rd 1 team

Yes, it would be highly unlikely to see him travel to Fremantle this week. I'll send you a text if I see him at the Williamstown game today

Good source there BB? It's supposed to be a knee so I don't think the OP is likely.

Re: Rd 1 team

Reasonable sign for our depth when our 3 emergencies are players I would consider to be in our best 22.

Re: Rd 1 team

We have played it very safe and there is no real surprises. It's a shame that it's unlikely we will have Murphy and of course missing Welsh isn't great for the forward line.
