    Great write up MJP, this game aside what are your thoughts on young Mitch Brown as a footballer from a general point of view?

    Could Bobby Murphy be an alternative for LeCras if the match committee feel Morris is better suited to Kennedy? This would also allow Lake the freedom of taking the taller lesser opponent and gives him the freedom of zoning off and helping Morris out in the air.

Unless the Q train gets the delivery lace-out (lets face it, unlikely with a mdifield led by Priddis) I think we'll breakeven or win that contest, especially if Lake is anywhere in the vicinity.
      Don't think that would be a good idea i remember we tried that in the 98 prelim

        Yep, good work on the preview mjp.

        As you have questioned our defensive match-ups will be interesting. Their best 2 forwards are LeCras & Kennedy so one would think we would use our best 2 defenders (Morris & Lake) on them.

        It really shouldn't matter anyway as our midfield looks superior and if we get enough clean ball going forward we should win and win well.

          We very nearly got him to come to us 2 years ago.

            He's wasted up forward, IMO. We should make another play for him as our Brian Lake replacement.
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

              For mine our Mids will have far to much space to put it lace out to the leads of Hall and co.

              What are the thoughts of Jonno this week, will we play him as a deep forward and get Hall out to the CHF and try to keep something left in the tank?

              Will Hill & Stack turn it on in front of the old home town fans?
              BB.

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

                Good match preview

                Western Bulldogs
                B: Jarrod Harbrow, Brian Lake, Easton Wood
                HB: Robert Murphy, Dale Morris, Lindsay Gilbee
                C: Ryan Griffen, Matthew Boyd, Liam Picken
                HF: Brad Johnson, Mitch Hahn, Josh Hill
                F: Jarrad Grant, Barry Hall, Daniel Giansiracusa
                Foll: Ben Hudson, Daniel Cross, Adam Cooney

                All three of the players in Half-forward need a big game today to lift their spirits. Hope they can get fired up. Mitch is actually pretty good around the packs, I would not mind seeing him being used as a ball winner at times.
