This shapes as a very interesting match for both sides. Both will be desperate to win to show they are on an upward curve. Both teams have has a promising start to the season and this should be an entertaining game.

Backing in the Giants in this one

Who would have picked the Giants to sit in 6th after 3 rounds? :o

Crazy stuff. They've been really good. Partly due to Shane Mumford destroying his opposition the past three weeks (with help from Jon Giles). Him vs Minson should be great to watch.

Treloar's been immense, Macrae has been tremendous.

Makings of a great game imo. Think the Giants might get up being a home game.

I'm not sure.

This one can swing either way in my opinion, just depends on who shows up.

Will be a tough game for both teams, Bulldogs were pretty good on the weekend though with Minson & Griffen being far from their best. If they can step it up the Dogs should get over the line but it'll be a close one.

Looking forward to the day will get to the ground early and watch Carlton get there first win at one of the clubs near Manuka Oval (sorry Startrack Oval) and then wander over to watch my other team GWS get their third win of the year. Forecast is 19 degrees with possible showers. Its been raining all night here in Canberra with further rain tomorrow so expect a possible slippery ground although if it gets a 12hour dry period Manuka drains fairly well.

Dogs by 3 goals. They were good last week against the tigers.

Hearing rumours in the Doggies camp that Ryan Griffen might be a late withdrawal.

He may as well have not been out there the past 2 weeks anyway. Dogs should win

Haha yeah Griff hasn't done much so far, so he'll be cheap in a few weeks. Could be a good upgrade target.

Would like to see the Giants get up again and I think they just might.

Reckon dogs should win.

Ziplock · April 12, 2014, 10:41:47 AM

The thing that should keep us in it is that the dogs don't have any really good key forwards that can expose our current talls deficiency in the backline.

That being said, I think our forwards > their backs. Imo, the dogs will need to completely run over us in the midfield in order to win, which is possible.
