Can’t think of a practice I’ve ever seen and been impressed by the intensity. Agree we need more players w mongrel in there.

I am astonished that it isn’t a trait Bevo doesn’t seem to value and...

Even more excited about this after watching.

Gee he speaks well. Everything about him screams Leader

Agree this is an outstanding result. Exactly who I wanted in that role - so glad he has the respect of his team members to be voted in. Great leader and character - seems like the type of bloke that...

I agree - that’s what I meant by the lift he gives the boys just by being there. I love him don’t get me wrong - but I question whether he can put a full season together like he has in the past....

Gee - looking at this it is actually incredible the depth and talent we have in the middle of the ground. To think Bailey Smith might not be in our best 6 midfielders is mind boggling.

Libba...

Love your commitment!

These days for me it’s down Nepean, inkerman, Canterbury road then through Docklands and down Footscray road. Same way to Marvel, only shorter - park behind city Mazda.
...

Yes Parkville. Good spot. I’m Bayside now so parkdale round the corner!

Bit late to this thread i know.... Grew up in Ivanhoe, my dad is the most diehard dogs fan north of the yarra in the 80's (and probably still now). For us it was always a drive - a fair drive too...

Interested in the WOOF collective opinion.

From the clubs perspective we held onto Josh because Essendon weren’t prepared to pay for him. They made commitments to him they weren't prepared to...

Agree. Don’t see the vaccine rolling out before the season starts so very slim chance we reach a decent pop penetration this season.

This lockdown indicative of how cautious they’ll be. I’m not...

He really seems mature and grounded. So much potential - hope he takes another step forward this year. Outstanding last year

This was my though too - the player Manning needs to decide whether to stand on the mark and stop the player playing on, or to move upfield and provide another defensive option.

I suppose the net...

I’m expecting crowds at 50% this year. Granted winter will bring new challenges but contact tracing and containment are in a different league to last year.

If it is 50% capacity - I’m really...

Came here to write exactly the same thing! Well put

Firstly - it’s worth pointing out no one I have seen, and certainly not my post is using a comparison of Lew Young and Morris to “diminish” Young.

Secondly - you are obsessed w possessions and I...

Did you just compare Lewis Young to Dale Morris because he had the same number of 1%'ers in a game?

Ridiculously long bow to draw that the expectations placed on him are "impossibly high". His...

This has got legs! Might need a commitment none of these items are sold to Libba if he rocks up to the food truck. Want him in pristine condition this year!

A bloke that does as much for us off the field as he does on it! An all around champion of a bloke with a good work ethic.

More importantly I think he finally found a role he could call his own -...

Solid banter. I’m still voting the Dimmie sandwich!

Outside of his first few games I haven’t seen anything overly impressive. A lot of players can have a strong start to a career and then drop away when they start to pick up attention. I’m reading...

I’m most looking forward to seeing Martin tbh - not so much as an individual player but in the way ‘could’ change the dynamic of the team. Fingers crossed he doesn’t miss a beat changing teams and...

100%. Beat me to it.

Be honest - every game from 2019 and 2020?

Phwoar..... I’m actually salivating at the thought of Dunkley and Treloar (in form) off the leash next year!

Just read half this entire thread before realising it’s from 2016. Glad I held off messaging my mates about Bonts dominance in AFL prospectus until I reached the end...

Keen to see where he sits...

I’m not happy with his work ethic on the field either. Drops his head too quickly, is soft at the footy and goes missing for days.

The media - can’t remember which reporter exactly but the mail I read was Dunkley was particularly disappointed w JJ and Bruce’s training effort and preparation

Hmmmmmm. I guess so. I’m a big fan but yes, we’ve underperformed on expectations lately.

Why settle for that in only one of his years?

I reckon there’s a few of the boys who have a statement to make.

Bruce is the obvious one after last year - but in the “experienced player” camp I’d add JJ as well. Doubt he feels heat but he has...

Was thinking the same thing. I made the awful mistake of reading the comments full of happy crows fans who feel they are ‘on track’ again

Great news. Up yours pies. Behaved disgraceful during this trade period. Should be ashamed of how they treated ‘one of their own’

very excited now - the thought of two elite contested marks hungry for the footy in our forward line in mouth watering!

Time will tell of course

Not sure if this has been shared - Adelaides behind the scenes war room on draft prep. Interesting commentary on the decision to select Jamarra:
...

From the dogs website about the expected successor:

Kylie Watson-Wheeler was born in Footscray, is a passionate Bulldogs fan, has been a member of the Club’s Board of Directors since December...

Agree - his wording is that of a man sitting on an iron clad contact it’s someone appealing for good will and offering the same.

Interested to see where this lands. Surely the trade submission...

God, there’s really no misconstruing the situation now. He genuinely wanted out - it wasn’t just an explore and cross fingers.

He’s never going to be worth more than he was this year; still think...

Jay Clarke reporting yesterday that Bombers did the right thing not stumping up next years first. Apparently a super draft and would be overs.

Quoted as saying; Dunkley still wants to get to the...

Geez - not much in that. Still had the presence to handball it 15m to advantage whilst he fell to the ground in agony.

Yep - I read Adelaide were right into him in 2017. Another year like this year and he will be a huge target.
