Round 14 Pre Game Thread - Blues v Western Bulldogs

Western Bulldogs v Carlton
7:20 PM, Saturday Jul 04, 2015
Etihad Stadium

Naturally hoping for 3 in a row.

Should be entertaining. I don't know why, but I see this as a somewhat even contest.

We can win this. A great test and finally a little hype surrounding one of our games.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

The Bulldogs have caused us some trouble in the past. They run and carry the ball very well and fast. However they do turn the ball over often. This is where we need to pounce and make it hurt them on the scoreboard. I feel we might lose this in a close result. I will be very happy if we stay competitive in the important stats of effective tackles and apply maximum pressure from the first bounce, and for the entire 4 quarters.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

If we play with the same intent and intensity we should get our third win in a row.

The Bulldogs have struggled with their ruck combinations and we should have a clear advantage there.  Our tall forwards will test their defence and our midfield should be at least their equal.

Our defence still has a makeshift feel to it without Jamison.  Despite that, we're getting good run from our small and medium defenders.

Blues by 12 points  :)

It's not what he thinks will happen, it's what he wants to happen. That way he can come on and troll the board with his pro Mick agenda. :P

No confident with this one... and the Dogs tend to trouble us.

Though, I think it could go to the line. Our tall timber should cover theirs.

Would this be the first time two Blaines have played AFL?

It's good to have Jamison back but losing Docherty and Carrazzo is unfortunate  :(

I see the Doggies have named Caleb Daniel just to rub our noses in it. He caused a lot of talk amongst us pre-draft and the Doggies ended up picking him up with the pick we gave them for Liam Jones.

At 164cm or whatever he is, he probably only comes up to Cripps knee caps !! :P
