Well, Richmond showed how it should be done. Can we do the same as they did? Somehow I doubt it.
Live Long and Prosper!

Tend to agree, they will be dirty on losing to the Tigers and will hit back hard, we might also cop the wonder child in his first game too. As Jim says we often perform ok vs the Dogs but this time I'm finding it hard to be positive.

Having English back will cause us headaches.

Agree...three big marking targets with English back in plus the double team ruck vs Pittonet doesnt read well. Thought Martin struggled vs the robust Nankervis last night but with his younger under study back will be better this week.
Maybe the physical nature of the game last night might have wounded a few more Doggie soldiers which might help us....

Our bunnies...lol. Some sides just do well against others.

Normally I'd say I'd tell you after tomorrow but that doesn't mean alot at Carlton.

Ugle-Hagan won’t be making his debut if his form against the Bullants is any guide.

I know you’ve said it before but getting Stef Martin to the Bulldogs was masterful list management that should really help English develop.

 Ugle-Hagan getting a game would be like signing BigH on a $1M contract, a tad premature! Wink

Yes, the last three games in reverse chronological order -

R6 2020 : won by 52 points
R13 2019 : lost by 3 points
R5 2019 : won by 44 points

It looks good on paper, but it feels very different this year. Bulldogs have definitely gone up a level or two.

Would love to see Williams, SPS, Dekoning and Silvagni in for Newnes, McGovern, Casboult and Gibbo.

Won’t happen but would like to see it - make Murphy earn  recall and retain Dow.
