Tigers vs Bulldogs game thread
« on: May 09, 2011, 02:42:08 PM »
The Bookies have the Dogs as only slight favourites:

Richmond     $1.91
W.Bulldogs   $1.84


We haven't beaten them in six years  :P.

So another opportunity to tick another box by beating a side we haven't beaten for a fair while  :gotigers.


Early thoughts on the game?

Big game for the doggies. Most of the focus would be on them IMO.  Eade would be under some pressure to get another win on the board.
Positive for us is they have only beaten Brisbane Lions and GC so we have a good chance at winning IMO.

No Lake is a positive, he was the difference last time we got close to them. Jack is due for a big bag too.

Grimes on Hally  :lol

Nothing would please me more than beating this team, I dislike them that much lol

This is what I believe to be the test, if we can beat the dogs convincingly and back up last weeks performance.

Will we get to see the Will Minson -Angus Graham showdown?

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

THE Western Bulldogs will be without star forwards Barry Hall and Shaun Higgins for at least another week while Tom Williams will also miss Sunday's clash against Richmond with an ankle injury.

Looms as a pretty dangerous game for us IMO, the have the wood on us and I can remember last year I think, our average losing margin to the Dogs was 45-50 points.

We must start this game in a frenzy, we simply can't let them get their tails up.
