Surely MBB you are joking 66pts maybe 16pts

Nah... Its worked the last 2 weeks.

He has a system.

Boyd out for the doggies

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 !!

Interesting that Johnson is named on the ground. Ellard gets my vote for sub.

We are playing the blain game.

Caleb's draft profile from last year

Caleb Daniel is a special player. On ability he’s the best player in the draft crop, no player possesses close to the same natural talent. However, Daniel is one of the smallest players to play the game. It’s about the one thing that can make even the best drop down the draft boards. If drafted, Daniel will be the smallest player in the AFL. kid can play. 

We'd be lucky if Liam Jones ends up half the player Caleb is.

Massive outs for us. Carrazzo was awesome last week and Docherty has been a rock down back. No Judd, Gibbs or Carrazzo is pretty much our entire midfield. If we could pull off a win here would be an amazing effort.

Some big outs and with Ellard, Johnson and Boekhorst in the same team we look a bit weak IMO...hope I am wrong and those three fire up but
I'm not so confident this week and reckon the Dogs will start short priced favourites.
Cripps should be in for another afternoon of close tagging and his education will continue..

Big test for Kruezer and Wood vs Minson...MK hasnt performed that well vs the physical ruckmen who have bulk but with two genuine rucks maybe we can wear the big Dog down. Bontempelli and Stringer look two difficult matchups, I presume White will get Stringer.....but its thin pickings if that doesnt work . Good to see Boyd out so maybe Stringer can get more attention..
