Looks like probably no change this week. Good to see Roughy's pre-season form being acknowledged.

[GVGjr]

Addison and Roughead are deserving to be added to the squad but on last weeks performance I think Easton Wood is a bit fortunate.

[Cyberdoggie]

I agree, probably no change.
Although a lot of players are coming down with virus's at the dogs recently.

I get the feeling Roughead will be need on the extended bench nearly every week this year.

[bornadog]

Good to see Moles keep his spot.

[LostDoggy]

Good to see Moles keep his spot.

Agree.

Like some people have noted, it is great to see Roughy getting mentioned on a regular basis.

Means he is close and puts the pressure on the beard and Minno

[Sedat]

Good to see Moles keep his spot.
In the starting 18 no less.

[Rocco Jones]

Means he is close and puts the pressure on the beard and Minno

Not sure there is much pressure on the Beard with him clearly beating Jolly and turning up against Simmonds. Considering the Hawks ruck div, turning up again should mean he is a personal 3-0.

[The Underdog]

Not sure there is much pressure on the Beard with him clearly beating Jolly and turning up against Simmonds. Considering the Hawks ruck div, turning up again should mean he is a personal 3-0.

Thought Huddo's first 2 weeks were really solid, in our best 4 or 5 against Collingwood and backed up well last week, although Richmond didn't provide much competition.
It'd be interesting to know the coaches idea of where Minson is at atm. He had the limited pre-season and his first 2 weeks haven't been fantastic. They are clearly encouraging Roughhead by making him an emergency and possibly putting some subtle pressure on Will at the same time.

[Before I Die]

Team is now officially posted on AFL website as "no change".

[Dry Rot]

FWIW, I have read rumours that Ladson is injured and won't play.

[LostDoggy]

Didn't think there would be a change to the team.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

FWIW, I have read rumours that Ladson is injured and won't play.

I hope not. My Supercoach side is already taking a beating regarding injuries. :o

[ledge]

No Ladson and I already lost Scarlett, down to Raines on my defence bench as emergency.

[wb_age]

How about Brad Johnson, is currently on the telly during half time and is showing no signs of a virus/flu.

I guess we can now officially suggest the club are telling fibs and there must be some serious concerns over his calf/Achilles injury..

He did have it for about ten days...the worst of it could be over. Not sure Rocket would describe him being "violently ill" if it was completely untrue.

[LostDoggy]

He has been doing a fair bit of media lately.

He has been doing a fair bit of media lately.

A bit of practice for next year.
