Not doom and gloom, but...

But understandably, when you lose the players that they have and the calibre of players and the types of players, they're all key position players.

Rory Lobb, James O'Donnell, Sammy Darcy, they've admitted Jordan Croft and Liver from the middle.

They get some journeymen back into the side.

Well, Ryan Gardner is.

Busling is a high draft pick who hasn't quite established himself.

Treloar has had 30 and 40 in the VFL, so he's had a bit of form.

Lockie Smith on debut to take on Brodie Grundy, who's ripping the game to shreds.

Josh Dolan, who played a couple of weeks ago and gets back into the side.

Isaac Heaney out for the Swans is a blow, but they are flying at the moment.

Yeah.

As Gerard said last night, maybe they've just got to hold on.

They've got Sydney and Friot, which they're going to be up against it.

Friot is here on a Friday night, so they'll be up against it.

Not that they can't, but then they got Carlton, Melbourne, Collingwood, St.

Kilda in the four weeks following, which are all winnable games for the Western Bulldogs, irrespective of the outs.

And they'll get some of these boys back.

Darcy's the clear long...

Sorry, long-termer.

But I think, you know, they do all that you said.
