Prediction Changes Blues v Dogs Marvel 28/3/25 7.40 PM

[Dogsman16]

Lobb needs to remain settled down back. He’s doing great there. He’s probably our number 1 KPD currently.

I think I’d have Buku forward. Spent a big chunk of time up forward at VFL level. That’s what I’d go with.

JOD can play sub.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

JOD will play forward

 

[spindles11]

Love seeing the (c) next to Libba’s name

 

[Distinctive_]

JOD will play forward

How do you know - could be buku?

 

[ossie_21]

Croft looks close. Named as EMG.

4 goals is good on paper, but the Bullants are crap. I do think he’s another player that will look better at AFL level though.

Was only able to watch Q1 last weekend, but early on Croft was being double or triple teamed at times, I guess it was different once it opened up.

Will only build confidence and fitness though, he may be an important player this year with the JUH situation

I would like Buku to play forward , jod back. Make sure buku and Naughton starts at 50 m arc and leave Darcy one out in goal square.

 

[Bald]

If one of JOD or Buku are going forward, can we assume it may be a defensive forward role? If so, I'd prefer it be JOD.

 

[ossie_21]

I think JOD would play forward if I had to pick, Buku was actually fairly solid down back last week.

It’s a pickle though, he’s actually played forward a lot in VFL & we’d prefer JOD to be developing as just a defender

 

[Dog 36]

I don’t see it with JOD don’t know what he brings

Wonder was the Buss is thinking
Jones JOD out doesn’t get a game
Jones JOD he definitely doesn’t get a game

 

[cecil]

Is tomorrow sold out including GA? I can only buy a standing room ticket

 

[Struggle]

We have covered the ground pretty well in the first 2 weeks, not sure bringing in 2 more talls is the right way to go.

What’s not to see? He’s shaping up to be a very good defender. Only a year older than Buss and has far more runs on the board.

Arty was hardly influential last week. That is to say his pace was not a factor working in our favour. And Doc has lost a yard in recent years.

If JOD does indeed become the sub it means it’s really only Liam for Arty. That’s a change I think most would agree with.

But it would be bit different if Dolan or Baker were to be named sub.

But I think he has now given up cricket so he can focus on his footy.

 

[Foxman98]

Buku is an awful forward JOD is at best competent interesting decision either way seems pointless

Buku has kicked a few VFL bags though.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

I reckon one of Buku and JOD to be sub. Baker essentially in for Jones.

 

[weltschmerz]

Could JOD play a role on Weitering?

Ticketmasters map says there are plenty of single seats available.

Make sure you’ve got it set to only one ticket. Sometimes it defaults to two. Assuming you are going by yourself. Also the seats are expensive cause Carlton is a rort.

 

[Cudi]

JOD spent time forward in the preseason and Bevo mentioned this week he is an option as a swingman. Can’t see it being Buku.

Think it’ll be -
JOD forward
Baker back and Williams wing
Dolan sub

$150 is insane for a single seat. Wtf

They were $100 last I checked! Our home seats are way cheaper than that. What a scam. Shame I think General admission is sold out too.

You are playing a game at a venue that really only 25k tickets are available to sell to the public and the two local clubs playing that game roughly have a membership of 130k between them. That's BS

 

[TMoney22]

Speed and spread have been beating the blues each week, why the f would we go in with an extra tall.

There's an election coming up. Write to your local member and tell them you are sick of being ripped off by underhand practices from the big ticketing agencies. Tell them you'll vote for the one who promises to call these pricks to account.

Nobody seems ready to do that. They continue to gouge the football-going public (and a lot of other events they have rights to, from what I hear). Add these costs up over a year and it's just as much a cost of living issue as electricity or insurance or the other things the pollies claim are our hot issues.
