Where and when: Carrara, Thursday 23 July 2020 • 7:40 PM (AEST)
Last time they met:
Sunday April 7, 2019
Western Bulldogs 9.14 (68) def by Gold Coast 10.13 (73) at Marvel
What it means for The Suns: A win last week over Sydney kept Gold Coast in the 8 but with a tough match against The Giants looming next week, they’ll want to consolidate against The Dogs.
What it means for The Dogs: A win puts the Bullies into the 8. It’s also a chance to avenge last year’s shock loss at home.
Mottsy Watch: Huge Greenwood will be the bloke I’ll be watching tonight. Brought him in this week. Go Huge!
Mottsy’s Tip: Which Dogs team shows up? The one that played Carlton or the one that smashed Essendon? Suns by 5 points.

Can’t believe I have 7 players in this game
Trading ceglar (415k) :
TU: bailey Smith (400k)
TD: petracca (540k)
Probably best to look at the overall trade like thjs:
TU : bailey Smith & gawn 24k
TD: petracca & English & 66k
No late changes.
Forecast is rain, and lots of it. Go for 20 tackles, Hugh!
Have the VC on Greenwood tonight. Gawn as my captain, with Stef out for the Lions. If Greenwood scores 135-140 I’d be stumped on whether that is good enough after Gawn’s form
Trade in options this week, needing a Mid or Fwd rookie to be able to bring in Gawn
TU: Weightman
TD: Simpson
Already got Rankine, any others?
TU: greenwood
TD: bailey smith
Does Devon Smith need to be traded up to B Smith. Not having having D smith is a POD option anyway.
Don’t think C.Taylor, King or AArts are ready to be culled yet ?

should I be looking too upgrade players like pickett, taylor and noble too premos or upgrading my flopped premiums like pitonet and ceglar to other premos?
Pittonet & Ceglar are not premiums. Move them on first and get a real premo & a rookie. Then use your change to turn Taylor into a premo.
Hang on to Pickett until at least after bye rounds.
Good luck!
Thaught I heard on SEN that bailey smith is out
Did I hear correct ?
Bailey Dale was out for Bulldogs, not Bailey Smith

That’s strange my TV is saying 7mate is not playing tonights game?
It’s not on Free to Air unfortunately. Only of Foxtel according to the AFL site.
Wonder why AFL.com.au are saying it is on 7Mate, what a cluster####
No footy on free to air is fu#ked!
With the 20 days of straight footy, they’ve tried to get the better/more Vic games on. They’ll play the Dogs v Tigers on Wednesday next week
Pay up champ
Kayo is awesome guys. Going to be amazing over next few weeks.
Probably on 7mate in QLD
Need help which one? stuck on choosin
TU: Taylor Adams (score all round triple figure)
TD:Jack Steele
Got nervous and didnt bring in Macrae for D Smith this week because i was worried Magnets would move him onto the wing with no hunter. Magnet developed sense and left him in the middle and hes on fire 90 at ht. Sigh, wish i just sent it
Anyone posting scores ?
Most of the sc relevant ones:
Macrae 91
Crozier 89
Daniel 62
Bont 49
English 45
B Smith 42
Greenwood 53
Rankine 40
Rankine seems to have a small injury to a finger, not too much to worry about though. Seems fine
Rankine has gone off with some sort of ‘arm complaint’
Rankine on the bench with a hand issue @ the moment
Rankine back on.
Took Macrae as vc,just looked and he’s gone backwards since half time.Doh!!!
Not feeling as smug as I was at half time!!!!
He is on 118 at 3 quarter time. Tracking ok
Will be trading out Pittonet for Gawn. The 2nd trade (cash needed to bring in Gawn) will need to be either –
TU : Trade out either Z Bailey (AV 69, BE 75) or Butler (AV 87, BE 155) which will allow me to trade in Simpson (Geel) as the best rookie available – I have Rankine, McPherson & Georgiadis, OR
TD: Trade out C Taylor (AV 64, BE 80) to bring in either Minchington, Frederick or E Taylor (can’t afford Simpson)
OK then, so which one would you trade OUT with Pittonet (to be able to bring IN Gawn & Simpson)
TU: Z Bailey (BL) – Last 3 games Av of 66.7
TD: D Butler (ST K) – Last 3 game Av of 62.3
Bont had at least 2 free kicks last QTR but the ump/team decided to go for advantage…sigh
That was a big Q for smith
Rankine & buderick having minimal impact tonight
Greenwood not with a great game, so rule out his score as VC
Price drop ?
Nah, the last 5 minutes made a good contribution in a tight game. Only in the 90’s was sitting on 65 halfway through the final quarter
Looking at stats he only had 73% TOG
Billy Gowers what was that?
Might have played his last game for a while.
Macrae is giving me a headache.
TU: take his score
TD: Captain Gawn will go bigger against ruckless Lions
163 not good enough?
Natopotato, Gawn could go 200 against the Lions
He could score 130 with an average game. He could even score 20 with an injury.
Is it worth taking a risk for an extra 30 odd points over a banked 160 odd score?
It’s your call, but I’d know what I would do
Good point NatoPotato. You are absolutely right. I normally take 120. But this year Gawn has been posting monster scores and has high ownership with the top 1%. I think I am just been greedy. Reality check, I Will take the 169 from Macrae.
Didn’t we have an article about this very matter last week??
I have decided tonight to tip the opposite to Mottsy! Worked like a charm!
Very, very smart.
English 🙁

Good scaling greenwood 94 to 98 , bont 94 to 87 ??
If Rankine kicked straight he would have scored massively! 1 goal 4 behinds in such a tight game
I don’t understand the sudden fascination with English. A few weeks ago everyone was going his opponent as a loophole VC ‘coz he only has English’. Bizarro world.
Will be a gun for a long time though.
Seeing him have a 5 round average of 140 really dragged people in and that 204 had people chasing points in a way. He gets a lot of possessions too which is Grundy like. He just played tonight by Witts taking him around the ground and off the ball, having less influence/possessions
He is definitely looking like a great future SC prospect.
Yeh very god overhead & good decision maker
Conditions didn’t suite him or king tonight
Probably will still average over 110 for the rest of the season though
