Nankervis won the ruck but Blicavs and Ratugolea exploited Pickett, particularly when he had to take centre bounces.
Sweet, for all his inexperience, is pretty good at getting his hand to the ball and he may trouble Pittonet.

Don't fall for the "players lining up where they're named" ruse Prof 
Williams must be in the midfield mix.

Bloody hell, Gibbons and Levi live to fight another day. Just can't work it out. TDK the emergency. WTF?? Plays one game and then sit him on the pine. Dow starts off pretty well before getting injured, but we'll drop him anyway. SPS actually shows something for a change, but we'll drop him too. Stupid, stupid, stupid. This is the reason why we have no confidence in the club.

[2] Paddy Dow I probably would have brought de Koning in. He is the future of our ruck and he is athletic. Another week? Maybe.
I am a bit surprised that Dow and SPS are out, Both were better last week.
Silvagni had to come in, with McGovern injured.
We do have a couple of guys who need to perform better to remain, but with Tom de Koning not coming in, Casboult is a certainty.
Live Long and Prosper!

He won’t be on any pine, he’ll get another game under his belt in the twos which is the right decision. Get him fully match hardened.

Sweet, for all his inexperience, is pretty good at getting his hand to the ball and he may trouble Pittonet. Sweet is a big lump of a kid at 202cm and 107kg, Bruce will be their second ruckman, they usually rest Bontempelli at FF when Bruce rucks. Seen a couple of teams late making the change on the Bont and getting caught with the regular FB picking him up and finding he has slipped them on the lead so I hope our brains trust dont end up with the slow moving Weitering picking him up for example..

Thanks. Bit of a chance with the Dogs ruck duo out and a newbie kid in, this is probably their weakest team of the season on paper IMO.
Keath and Cordy will be giving away inches down back too, obviously they bat way deeper than us in the midfield but if we can turn the game into a scrimmage and make it very contested we are a better chance than I initially thought.

Bruce has managed one hitout in seven games this season but I guess the Bulldogs had English and Martin rucking in most games. Pittonet and Casboult should really take advantage when Bruce is relieving Sweet.
Jones should take Bruce and he is fast enough to stick with the Bont - providing he's on his game and we apply some defensive pressure up the ground.

Bruce is only there to do a Pickett and make a token contest while the main ruck has a spell, I think the Bonts smarts are what would worry me about Jones as much as anything. Hooker isnt half the player the Bont is but he seemed to find space to kick his 5 goals and I hope Jones is a bit more switched on than he was last week.
Hipwood kicked three on him the week before and while he has fair share of intercepts and helps other players he needs to stop leaking goals.
