Round 8 - 2016

[bulldogtragic]

Looks like the profile of a team a year or 2 off challenging for finals (unless exceptionally talented)

By the end of three more seasons:

200+ - Picken (if around)
150+ - Crameri, Roughead, Wood, Suckling, Wallis, Dahl
100+ - Bonts, Stringer, Macrae, Liberatore, Stevens, Dickson, JJ (nearly),
80+ - Boyd, and fringes like Hrovat, Redpath, Biggs if they cement themselves, and then all the other pups that come on
50+ - Zaine and Any draftees from this or the next Draft

Add in a couple of free agents or trades of players between 100-200 games, and it's a list in two years that if it stays together will be around the top for a good spell. By my guess that core would have 5-6 seasons towards the top of the ladder assuming they play to potential.

Maybe in 3 more seasons, Bob's still there at 350+?

Dare to dream........

5 seasons, 400+ ?

You never know.

Only half joking about 3-4 more years. He has that kind of wiry physique all the long termers have (400 club; Michael Tuck, Kevin Bartlett, Dustin Fletcher, Brett Harvey) and his obvious love of the game, club and teammates means that mental burnout shouldn't be an issue.

We could see a world record for the number of frees paid to one player in a game of AFL.

Just show all the previous ones on the big scoreboard. Him crying in Brisbane and taking a dive against us in the PM should feature prominently.

Looks pretty good until you realise Stringer is the tallest player after Roughead to have 100 games under his belt by then

Isn't the Bont taller then Stringer?

Looks like Bob definitely has at least 2 more years. Hopefully that's two more finals series.

Correct, I overlooked that as I was thinking of our spine. Roberts, Hamling, Z Cordy, Redpath & T Boyd have a few years to go yet before they will be at their peak
