Man, could you imagine!

Yep. They don't care whether the goals are scored from fluid play or from fifty metre penalties. They just want more goals.

I actually wanted to raise the exact instance as being a tactic to be deployed when players are slightly out of goal range - but didn't because it's clearly too absurd.........

Just start your...

2018 really hurt, but since then including finals we're at 63% which is about where our list and development is probably at.

This whole out of excuses or out of reasons bullshit flummoxes me to be...

But did you notice how much the ground opened up allowing free flowing play as a result?

You have to look at the bigger picture. After all, the purpose of the rule was to increase scoring and...

Thank goodness for that. Hopefully a step in the right direction and a step away from the sycophantic guffawing he's been dishing up for years and that has permeated Ch7 commentary.

I think what some are arguing is that we've failed to bring intensity in all of these types of games in recent seasons, starting off with a lack of intensity in practice games, followed by a lack of...

It's still an experiment. We know he'd likely be a top few in his class type defender right now, and it's an area of the ground we'd benefit from parity at least or dominance in. He's still an...

I think post flag I had a fair bit of shit put on me for suggesting a chunk of what Bevo did was on the back of some of BMac's good work. I still think there's something in it, however, our malaise...

Mentioned it in the game thread, it was really clear that Hawthorn looked the team more willing to pressure/ fight. Not sure if they were good or it was because we weren't flash.

Will be looking...

Weightman looked in the top class at the level he played today. Some of his stuff on the ground was pretty good, his kicking was where it needed to be but his overhead ability was excellent.

I...

He's not imposing in any way as a defender, needs it on his own terms to be effective. I was looking at the second game with less attention than at times with the first, but Young didn't look like a...

Sorry mate, yes, a little cynical! Like any rule you wait for it to become part of the season before you make a judgement, and with a higher vantage point for the camera or being at the game you may...

Looks lean like a lot of our other players, but not skinny (well you know what I mean).

It's really opened up the play though...............

It's a shit rule.

Pretty good stretch from Weightman, followed up by a good hit.

Marra!

Yeah I don't get the negativity towards him.

Apparently that wasn't in the back.

We've been really sloppy and I think Hawthorn are playing out the pressure game a bit better than us.

Wowsers, if they're the fifties they're paying this year it's going to be frustrating.

That was really good from West, a lot like his Dad in that play.

Thought Bailey Williams was really poor there. It was always going to Breust and he should have gotten there.

Most of our malaise is disposal and decision making from what I can see, which isn't unexpected at this time of the year. Need to sharpen up.

Same. I have two memberships linked to my email address and neither received it.

I'm happy to help with that........

It seems inconceivable that his ongoing omission isn't political. He must have upset somebody in his administration days.

Why would we say it if we don't believe it?*




*I think you knew I would reply with that!

Keep up the good work merantau - this thread is great!

Great work Soup.

James Cook. Averaged almost two goals a game as a Bulldogs.

The dude was a bit nuts, unfortunately.

Reckon it could be a bit of both. We're a super conservative club and I think possibly a bit scarred by how poorly the media treated Tom Boyd under our watch.

Another way of looking at it is that as vice captain it's incumbent on him and other leaders to drive the standard and bring team mates along with him. If as a leader he's not capable of doing that...

They should definitely put a 24 metre line on each ground and we can all explain to folks new to the game why the goal square is nine metres long, the protected area is fifteen metres out from there,...

It's not that out there to suggest Dunkley didn't like how he was being played, or that there were a few individuals he didn't think were getting the most out of themselves. However, whether that be...

He hasn't missed, has he!

Actually made really good points, and the defenciveness of some of the responses coming in is pretty full on.

A good article written by the authors of the Do Better report.

Dahl was pretty much the complete small player as a junior, with one limitation and that was his kicking. We did really well to land him when we did, and he was a great fit for us at the time we...

Johnno was a freak, and would have had more AAs if he had have continued playing further up the ground. However, his move deep forward in my view made him a more valuable player and a better player...

TD is so right wing he's drawn to Murdoch products without even knowing it!

Back on topic, and I don't want to come off as patronising (well no more than I usually do) but the people of Tasmania...
