How did the show introduce the Bulldogs vs Eagles matchup and pre-game context?

Liam Pickering 0:00
wherever you might be right around australia very warm welcome to you adam cooney cam luke for the ford ranger triple stack deal and ozito brushes power tools built to work ozito do you liam pickering about half hour away he'll join us as we'll continue to build up the eagles and the bulldogs both out on the marvel deck right now just uh re-familiarising themselves, I suppose, with it. The dogs here are a lot more than the West Coast Eagles. And I've got to say, Adam, I'm assuming, we're not going to talk about the game too much until he gets here, but Liam Pickering, the life member of the Cats, is going to be bleeding after they gave up a near seven-goal lead. But more importantly, Jeremy Cameron, and we wait to hear how that collarbone is, but it looks like he will spend time on the sidelines, which significantly diminishes their premiership chances.
Adam Cooney 0:48
Well, it looked proper busted, didn't it? The still shot, it looked like the collarbone was up around Kane Corn's territory. I mean, it was about five centimetres above where the joint should be. So, yeah, not looking good for Jezza. And played a couple of different roles as well. So, a little bit more time around and behind the footy. So, they were trying to get him into the game and work into... into his season, which has been okay. But yeah, that's a rough blow for their premiership chances. And they're just, well, we'll let Pixie unload on them a bit later.
Liam Pickering 1:22
Yes, we will. We most certainly will. Daniel Pratt, only a moment or two away as well. You can get off the text 0-4-3-3-98-11-16. I tell you what, Adam, Just quickly going back to yesterday, we didn't touch enough on St Kilda, who were really good. In fact, no, Daniel Pratt's going to join us now. So we'll get to the Bulldogs first and touch on the Saints. A big game today as the Dogs, who have made a raft of changes, take on the Eagles here at Marvel Stadium. And Daniel Pratt joins us. Hello, mate. Welcome back to SCN. G'day, boys. How are you? Good, mate. I tell you what, a bunch of changes today. How mindful of you when they change? And some are forced, of course, with some injuries and a couple of omissions.
Liam Pickering 1:59
But how mindful are you during the course of the week that you've got to make sure that everyone's on the exact same page when you're making almost a quarter of a team changes?
Daniel Pratt 2:08
Yeah, well, it's always something you think about. You know, we've got a really good VFL program that's been running for a number of years really closely with the group. So we've had a few guys come up from there who performed really well last week against Williamstown.

How did hosts recap recent injuries and their impact on rival teams like Jeremy Cameron?

Liam Pickering 2:21
Just on that, having your own VFL program, and not everyone has it, majority do, but the alignment there, to be able to do the exact same thing at senior level as the team is doing at VFL level, how much of an advantage does it give you in this type of situation?
Daniel Pratt 2:35
Yeah, well, it's really important. Some of the things we do, there's a stark difference to what other teams do. So if you're mixing up with players from other teams or with guys who aren't familiar with each other, you can't really practice those things that you want your players to do at AFL level. So whether they're coming up or they're going back to keep working on their craft. So we've been fortunate. A number of the guys who are coming in have played a bit of AFL footy already. Bailey Williams is coming back in really experienced, but Busslinger and Cleary, for example, they've played a lot of footy. So they've been able to work on their craft back at VFL and have earned the call up.
Liam Pickering 3:09
You're in control of this back line, mate. Of course, it's a fairly hot topic, the defensive structure and the personnel of the Bulldogs. Are we going to see Rory Lobb play a little more defensively today? We sent him in the ruck last week. There's no Tim English at all today with that back injury. Where does Rory Lobb start today?
Daniel Pratt 3:25
Yeah, he'll start in the ruck. But as we saw last week, Bevo's happy to throw things around and we discuss the ripples of those in the box and then make the call.
