In: Chambers, Simpson
Out: Teague Livingston

some pretty big surprises there...
both of the omissions.

the doggies are now pretty short up forward with grant and darcy out.

good move really.

Can't believe Chambers inclusion, he was atrocious for the Bullants last week.

Has Thornton somehow gained the ability to be in 5 places at once?

Why wasn't I told?

Teague I can understand. Livo I am quite confused with his axing. The only thing that the MC could be thinking is that the Bulldogs usually play a small forward line.
I watched Chambers play in the reserves last week and he was very average at best, Simmo played well enough to get called up.

Kouta named at CHB.

Think we need a thread merge!

The Bulldogs are a running side so the inclusions make sense even if Chambers doesn't deserve to be there..

Teague can't really complain about being dropped but Livingston?

I assume it's horses for courses. In a sense we don't need Livo, though if the Dogs play a ruckman up there we're in trouble...

Are we going to see Sporn play as 3rd tall...*shudder*

Wasn't he among the best?

Teague I'm fine with but Livo - gee just think he is mighty stiff but I understand thereasoning - plenty of run up there.

Jbee, where is your source for this info. I can't believe Livo would be dropped.

Sporn is playing? Lets hope he does this week.

Good to see Chambers in, needs to be given an extended run so we can see if his wizzer cup form was a fluke.

Livo is no surprise based on Bulldogs height as others have mentioned.

Simmo is back and should be played a full game against Jordan McMahon. Battle of the match sticks. Imagine if they collide, the medicos would be playing pick up sticks BOOM BOOM.

Simmo and CC will both be under scrutiny at the end of the year. They should be given an opportunity, and if they fail to seize it they may not survive.

On the other hand, I think Livo has done enough, but for the reasons given above there is no real point playing him against the Bullies. He would spend time on the bench, and maybe he would be matched up on smaller goalsneaks. He is unlikely to excel in that role, and this would do more to damage his confidence than playing a solid match in the Bullants. Added to which his time recovering from injury probably has depleted his fitness base, and Darwin is not the place to test this out.

I know the teams aren't finalised but if Kouta spends the night in the backline when Livo could I will be very dissappointed especially if Livo isn't injured.

The whole team line up looks totally [REDACTED].
