That brought back memories.
Looking at our players:
Daniel - tick
Bontempelli - tick
Hunter - half tick
Dunkley - a little surprised - the guy can't kick/isn't quick/is an ok mark.....what is elite?
Williams - quite...
I want him to be an AFL player, but he just seems to clumsy
Naughton for me. really hoping he gets a free run with injury
Also looking at seeing how Treloar settles in and what this does to some other guys
With wins......seriously win our first 3 and they will come
Echo sentiments, he is a welcome addition.
I appreciate the reference, but I am less inclined to push for it. Magic was a great player. He was probably a better player for Brisbane than he was for us. I'd prefer Jam to forge his own...
Astounding. To do it via email? Surely you would have gathered the senior players and explained the situation to them. Got them on board and garnered a spirit of we're all in this together......an...
Dale....surely Bailey Dale gets on this list....I am a fan, but gee he has had about 5 good games and none of them were 2020.
I would say how have we allowed it to happen? I get that the paperwork get's lodged and Treloar becomes a Bulldog, but either we agreed a number or a range of numbers otherwise we haven't agreed a...
Is Smith the next Dale/Boyd/Picken?
Its my sentiment, well the suck it part. Dunk's plays where the team needs him. That may be in the middle, but that may be up forward. It shouldn't be in the ruck.
My sentiment for this is...
Not saying I disagree with you MJP, but if the above four are the type we needed, who would you have targeted from opposition clubs? The thing about all of these guys, none of them would probably...
Just an observation, but Noble is the coach that North need now. He will lose more games than he wins and after 3 years they will get impatient and replace him with someone a little more tactical...
Hargrave is who he reminds me of and like Shaggy he has a lot of misses before nailing his role. Zaine will get better. Before his pec injury he was probably our best defender. Can't play him and...
I think we as a club did the right thing. I would go the next step and play Dunks where he is best for the team. If that means that he has to share midfield minutes then so be it. It's a team...
Ahhhh...hammer....nail....head! That position was made worse by Dunks coming out publicly. Classic rule in business is you don't threaten to leave......you leave! No point p*ssing around. The...
In the absence of a better deal, Pickering gave the right advice. 12 months later a better deal emerges. Pickering would be doing Dunks a disservice if they didn't try to orchestrate the deal! At...
I have less of an issue with player agents. They are there to get the best deal for their player period. They are not there for the clubs. For every Dunkley, there is a Trengove or a Porter where...
Think about it though. As a news agency your revenues on your web page are all about hits. More hits, the mort you can charge for advertising space. Its actually in your interests to make up "fake...
Read somewhere that in the time Dureya has been with us he has managed just 16 games. He has been injured a lot!
Trade week/Transfer window is a media play. Its a way of keeping momentum going on the AFL. So whilst it does not get bums on seats the constant dialiogue, speculation, lies act as click...
That Swans thing was weird. Any idea what happened? Definitely someone who can have a beef and hold it. Can't get why he doesn't like Bevo.....
I would keep Cavarra and delist Lloyd if it came to a choice between the two.
What if you projected we could sign Dunks in 2023 at $750k per season. Now that the Dons have come in that projection is out of the water as he will probably on sign now for somewhere north of that...
Delist
Porter - sorry, but he is behind Libba, Dunks, Lippa, West, Garcia - there is depth and then there is wasting a list spot;
Hayes - just can't see where he is going to play, especially with...
Personally, I can see Dunks leaving in 2 years. He will be looking for a £750k + deal. He has already said this so for mine there is the space we create as I can't see us matching and keeping guys...
I personally don't care what Dunks has to say. He was contracted. He wasn't complaining when we offered him a deal 12 months ago. We have no obligation to Dunks to trade him if he is contracted...
Lipinski is the one who will be squeezed out, which is a shame, but needs must
Typical Dodo. Destabilise Josh; promise him the world; posture in the media; spread rumours of disfunction at the dogs; offer up jack sh*t at the pointy end.
All that comes now is the cr*p that...
Dunks is staying.....time to rebuild those bridges son
Agree with this Sedat. Power has been a better list manager than he was a footballer
Who is on the Father-Son list for 2021?
Didin't see enough of Young to really forma an opinion. Hannah has his limitations, but is a proven goal kicker. Upgrade on Lloyd; replacement for Dicko; competition for Dale - good decision to...
This must now spell the end for JT at the Bulldogs?
Spot on MJP. People leave for all sorts of reasons- money, opportunity, job security. These things for footballers are compressed into a very small space of time, with a limited window and are made...
There is no way we should go after Treloar based on this. You cannot have a situation where a player's personal life is torn across states.
This was pretty much their MO with stringer. Destabilise the player through the media. Get the player to request a trade and then offer nothing until the death when some steak knives are offered.
I think ruck only is an outdated plan. You would only use it if your ruck was soooooo good that you just had to pick them. The problem isn't so much English can't ruck, its finding a viable player...
I agree. I liked what I saw from Rhylee this year and felt he was not too far away from nailing a spot. String at the footy, good hands and courage in the clinches. He is one paced, but give him a...
