I think you're both right. Iirc that's the one where Treloar sat on it tried to pop it back to Libba who couldn't contain it and they were gone.

The issue was Bont and English both ran past...

his frequently gets brought up here but I really don't think it's an issue. Inside of 55m sure (which happened once) but generally I think it has a few benefits. Typically when the opposition takes a...

Well this is probably never happening again ever. We don't even send him back occasionally to help stem the tide, and we shouldn't he's one of the best key forwards in the league and nearly winning...

I don't think they want to, especially if they are into Jackson.

Yet no annoyance about only 4 weeks for Stewart.

On one hand the act he did was so heinous and horrible that he should have been sent off immediately and Geelong made to play a player short, on...

I'm against it. I understand the concerns in game about a victims side being disadvantaged but i think it's careful what you wish for and I do not trust the AFL one bit to do it well.

I'd much...

I was as harsh on West on here as anyone but his 6 games have completely turned me around.

He's playing the Vandermeer role except he's actually impacting games, getting the ball, having hurt...

No chance he is available. He is their next captain and rated extremely highly.

Good to see us only give them 1 year contracts. All are good enough to stick around, but all need to earn further seasons.

De Goey's post is a great point made by the wrong person.

No issues with players "liking" it.

Not that I am particularly worried about it but are others scared of Sydney poaching someone?

Buddy finishes up soon, freeing up a shitload of salary cap space. They typically use that on a...

Fwiw that 50 Macrae got at the end was because some Giants playing decked McNeil in the goalsquare so there's some old fashioned Giant behaviour for you.

The guy next to me was adamant the Giants...

Pretty confident JJ only played back to cover Duryea. McNeil basically plays JJs position so it was the obvious switch to make.

Yep JJ spent the whole game back once Duryea was done.

Thought McComb was pretty solid in the second half.

Really don't want to play Crozier.

That was my first Bulldogs win I've been to since 2019 (I managed to get to the Ballarat Adelaide game as my only other game in that time period). That was really fun and I've missed how much better...

Think JJ contract was overs at the time tbh and not sure he has ever reached the heights Dale has for one and half seasons.

Depends what the payoff is though.

I guess the two big bargaining chips you have to offer as a club is salary and years, the more of one means the less of another. Maybe 5x$500K is what he signed...

Jesus aim low BAD.

If thats the standard of backman we have to get to be worthy of trying, then we better start developing them from scratch. That would've ruled out Keath's recruitment.

How...

My take is that any major perceived difference in the different generations mental health issues stems from us now being better at recognising it and encouraging people to address it. So basically...

Is this even confirmed?

We've hardly needed encouragement to play English as first and sole ruck. In 2020 we spent half the season resting him while picking him as the only ruck, he'd take centre...

It's a pretty broad statement. If he falls in our top ten highest paid players I think that mantle fits, which I would be comfortable with.

I think the pyramid would look something like:

Bont...

I'm not saying they won't make it but I don't really think they are bankable in the slightest.

I've been pleased with West's efforts these last few weeks after basically writing him off but I...

I also think its uncomfortable.

The statement the club and Bailey put out in the immediate aftermath was sufficient and did a pretty good job of sucking the oxygen from the story.

This feels...

We can do both. We can get both a young mid with 2 years in the AFL system under his belt and also get players who fill more pressing needs.

If we think he is talented, and can get him at an...

Geez they sound fun

I don't know.

I don't really remember much of what I saw last year except that he moves like Jackson and seems a natural accumulator. I was mainly following him from a fantasy perspective.
...

I was thinking about this the other day.

Has basically not gotten a look in this season after some promising performances last year, I don't think hed cost more than a pick in the 30s, and is a...

Huntingon officially gone. Traded for picks 29 and 37.

We have also signed Millie Brown. Giving Geelong picks 24 and 56 for Brown and 21.

Equally it is on us to make them want to come to us.

Considering the only guys we have convin ed to come over in the last two years are two guys with literally no other options and a fringe guy...

Yeah nah Gardner was mid year 2019.

Maybe we can run with the "we tried" defence for one trade period but not two.

I think MJP your opening post targets the wrong culprit. It isn't the players individually that are hard to love, I'd argue they are no different to any other era and could just as easily make...

We were too short last year. We've had the exact same shopping list the last two trade periods, or at least this forum did. A key defender and a ruck. Aside from an undersized O'Brien and a...

That one against Moore was terrible. Imagine being Butler and your first AFL goal is from that.

Hawks have found a good one in Newcombe, real competitive beast.

Good game this with some horrific umpiring.

Ginnivan is Weightmans biggest competition for universally hated small forward.

I'm generally fairly forgiving of the umpires but thought there were a few key decisions they made which hurt in the context of the game, that Richards one the obvious one. I can kind of understand...

100%. The first one they highlights was bad. He didn't even play it up that much, but the lack of anything constituting a freekick made it look terrible. His natural intensity and bounciness...

It's classic Bulldogs. In every important game the game seems to hinge on one or two moments. We know that if we don't take them it's a huge blow to our chances, but conversely when the opposition...

That had huge shades of the ear of the Dogs game where Wallace makes the vomit comment. Great effort, but that gets you nothing, when you have such an insipid and disastrous first quarter.

Is...

Never really rated Francis and would think we already have our not that tall intercept defender who never really went anywhere at their previous club on the list in O'Brien.

Yes.

2017 averaged about 5 hitouts a game topping out at 8, and the next years he spent at Hawthorn would record at least 1 in maybe half his games.
