    You open to it?

    I have no issues as long as we are still winning. Ideally another tall would be good to take the pressure off, but no one is putting up their hand. If Redpath can find some form, then he can go forward. Dickson will be back and make a huge difference.

    Taking Hamling away from the backline is robbing Peter and I don't know if it will pay Paul.

    Even though we played without Hamling down back for the first two rounds? We played Adams, Morris and Wood down there and Wood returns this week.

    FWIW I think we need Hamling down back against North, but maybe this week not so much.

    With Wood back, I'd give it a go. What's the worst that can happen?

    Adams was pushed forward in the last quarter against Carlton. No reason why we couldn't do the same with Hamling. Coaches are always banging on about flexibility.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I think he is better suited to the back line but I wouldn't rule out a switch forward some time during the season

    Can certainly make a good distance with his kick. I liked it when Suckling kicked that long goal against Carlton to break their momentum. Adams can roost the thing pretty well. Could see him as a bit of a weapon in that regard.

    I think Adams has been struggling the past few weeks and is now finding out the difference between the WAFL and AFL.

    He looked overawed on the Friday night big stage - quite a few fumbles. Because he looks such a beast it's easy to forget it was game 6 for him.

    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams

    I think he played well above expectations in the first 3 weeks and has been more than reasonable in the last 3. We can't expect anyone to maintain the form he showed in the first 3 weeks.

    I don't see a problem with his form.

    I totally agree. He has done well enough to keep his place in the team. His last few weeks has been ok, it's just because he set his benchmark so high that we think he's been quiet. He has been serviceable. Waite would of taken those marks no matter who was on him. I would think that he would of taken a lot out of playing on someone like Waite and Petrie. He will know what to expect next time we play them.

    Are you sure Adams was on Waite all match? I thought I saw Wood on Waite a number of times.

    Adams wasn't on Waite a great deal.. He was actually on Thomas for much of the night... Really strange decision by the MC.

    He was getting beaten badly early on when he was up against the taller players, so I guess the MC had to move him.

    He wasn't that bad early on and was being let down by players up the field.
