Re: Round 2 Match Preview: Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne

Also, for all of us interstate viewers, we are again not getting a telecast, and no fox too as far as I can see.

Hey its only a 7 hour drive , come over!

I wish. I was actually planning on being over for this game, but given my current work/study obligations had to opt out.

I'm hoping to make it over for the Geelong game for my bday, and then around the end of July my schedule will free up a bit.

Re: Round 2 Match Preview: Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne

Nothing really enlightening or astute to add but geez I'd love to get a win over these blokes - I have an irrational hate for them that extends back to a grizzled North supporter's booming voice as he screamed into my ear "COME ON YOU ROO BOYS" as Petrie destroyed us.

I have a good feeling about this game for two reasons...

1. I live in Sth Aus, have fox and still cant watch it live.
2. Sam Power

Re: Round 2 Match Preview: Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne

I have nothing to add either to the great preview - but I hope we can notch up a win against these guys for a change! Their height has always bothered us - does anyone know if the weather may be a little wet? I know tall guys don't get any shorter in the rain, but it does even up the playing ground a little. It will be a good measure on just how much better we are this year........it was a great win in the west, but one game does not maketh a season! After 45 years of following this wonderful, heart-breaking team, I remain positive in the extreme!

Thks for the weather forecast - may even us up a litte? Trying to remember the last wet game we played? (I think the memory is going My 2 greatest wet weather memories are Ted Whitten's last game against Hawthorn at Whitten Oval, and the very last game at WO - remember how we belted the Weagles!!! OMG I was soaked through but you couldn't keep the grin from my face

I'm suprised both Tiller and Everitt are out, especially with Goldstein added to North's 22.

Me suspects more hilarious selection shenanigans. For some reason we like to try this crap a lot. One of them will play.

Rocket's not really one for ducks and drakes though (last week a notable exception) - it seems Callan has made a miraculous recovery, if Brad Gotch's words meant anything.

Hey 'Magic Griffin' is your user name for Jonathan Griffin from the Crows, or perhaps Peter Griffin from Family Guy? Obviously it has nothing to do with Ryan Griffen?

North have dropped Josh Smith, and with Aaron Edwards out their only tall forwards at any given time would be Petrie, Hale and perhaps one of the ruckmen in McIntosh or Goldstein. Unless I'm overlooking someone? Therefore we shouldn't require too many tall backs. That's my take on it anyway.

I actually find we do it quite a lot for no discernible gain. I'd find it interesting if after all the talk about resting guys and fatigue etc after the trip to Perth, the only changes we make are 2 small backman for 2 tall backman, however we do have Lake, Williams and Morris who can take North's tall forwards, so maybe we're not messing around.
