We should give him a two year extension

On the back of one game?!

Everyone, almost to a man on here lauded the trade and believed in Pelchen. After one year, where Ben had played some VFL and Dunstan had a good first year, it was seen as a great trade. McEvoy is now the third best ruckman in the AFL. And is the Captain that should have been. How we let go our cons...

How do we rate the dogs defence? They like to run off and create, but can they defend?

All you have to do is match them in the middle and stop Bont and they are beatable

Always been extremely talented and has the ability to make something out of nothing. He is also extremely courageous, always has been. He gets a lot of free kicks by getting on the move around stoppages and drawing contact. He was an outstanding junior, and was Vic Country MVP at the champs Showed a...

Bit of both. The players clearly played with more freedom, and kicked straight early (amazing what scoreboard pressure can do for confidence). There was some young talent on display, playing very well. Not getting carried away though, what I did learn was that the Bulldogs back 6 is putrid at defend...

Wilkie, easily.

But he has had a lot of goals kicked on him lately

An awful footballer with an AFL best and fairest and twice runner up

Next

You’ve got to consider,

All of those teams went into the match heavy favourites, and it didn’t surprise that we were outplayed at times during the game.

The Freo game and Geelong games were prett6 good efforts imo

The new forwards coach?

Newnes was very good 2014-2016

Last year and for the most part this year, he has been poor

They will do well to even compete with the side they are fielding.

I hope not, but have massive concerns about this game, 40-50 pts. Their midfield is very good.

If a professional footballer spends 5 days training and preparing and can’t get up for a game, it says something about the player. It’s their job to be up, it’s a non negotiable. Why the inconsistency? You have to consider the impact of the opposition. If they match our intensity around the footy, g...

So Richmond McQualter - Forward, played as a forward in 2009-2011 Leppitsch - Backline Kingsley - Midfield McRae - Dev Forward X Clarke - Dev Midfield Hmm?.... Obviously you can find examples, so could I where coaches are experienced in their line. Not many with no coaching experience at the level, ...

Ben was at his Grandfathers funeral, unavailable.

Geary, imo is a massive loss.

One of the best shut down small defenders in the AFL, leader, organiser and courageous.

He is dependable and has finished top 5 in the b&f 4 times (R.U in 2017) whilst not great offensively, he is a defensive gun.

Anderson would be the one

But Kemp would also do.

Marshall, Billings, Gresham, Clarke, King, Anderson/Kemp need to become our stars

Bytel, Battle, Coffield, Paton need to become players

And then, we might just become a team

I think Newnes is playing too heavy, looks about 85, should be around 80 Lost his running power, which was his strength at his best, he was a hard running HB/Wingman who got 20-25 per game Now, a slowish HF/wingman who gets 15-20 per game His lack of creativity and skill by foot means 15 possessions...

Rowe, Pierce, Rice, McCartin, White, Brown, Armitage, Roberton. Free agency loss, Newnes Trade for the right price or keep Any of Carlisle, Steven, Ross, Dunstan, Acres, Longer (or delist), Webster. Keep the rest Add, draft picks, trades, Free Agents, Rookie Picks There should be up to a dozen chang...

We don’t have as good a list to begin with... although we did beat them remember.

But do we have playing atm, players the ilk of;

Stringer, Sheil, Tipungwuti, Hooker, Merrett, McGrath, Saad, McKenna, Heppell, Zaharakis?

Sam was one of those high iq footballers

Not blessed physically with pace or size

But knew how to find it, but also never took the wrong option.

If he’s a good communicator, he is an obvious coaching candidate, maybe not yet, but in the future.

Will coach Hawthorn after Clarko imo.

Harves is definitely in the conversation Done a long and successful apprenticeship and wouldn’t have lasted in those roles if he was an ineffective communicator, which is a view only held by those who don’t know him personally. Truth is, most people have zero idea what he’s like behind closed doors,...

Sort of disagree about White having a good build, I don’t think he has built an AFL body, not sure he trains hard enough and is professional enough, which is holding him back. Also, don’t think he’s the sharpest tool in the shed, and the penny hasn’t dropped with him, as to why he’s on the outer.

I’d choose Acres and Sinclair

Both have played good games at AFL level

Just not consistent

Newnes is a GOP and White can’t get a game in a decimated team

Please quote where I mentioned being an expert? I gave an opinion, which you can debate if you want. You started with the name calling, which says a little more about you really... and got personal, nice touch. But surely you must be better than me, given you can call me out and get personal with a ...
