3 Things I've learned Round 1 vs Swans 2019

[Bumper Bulldogs]

1st. We are a far better side when we play all players in their best posistions

2nd. The handball club has came back over the preseason

3rd. We could easily be six wins no losses by Easter

[Go_Dogs]

1. If you win the ball and move it with dare and run you win games. It's a simple game.

2. Lloyd is a handy player. Seems a great fit for our group.

3. Naughty may be the best player on our list. When we selected him (a key defender with a suspect kicking action) I wasn't convinced it was right given we had about 10 key defenders at that stage. Now the pick is a master stroke (it was pretty bloody good last year too). He's a potential generational forward and he will make Schache a much better player.

[Remi Moses]

1- Naughton reminds me of Peter Foster ( what a star )
2- Great resolve Among the group
3 - I thought all the recruits had an impact

[The Bulldogs Bite]

1. Duryea can offer us something - thought he showed a bit. No world beater but a solid contributor which is what we got him for.

2. Naughton's rise is emphatic right now and he makes players better around him. He'll be very good for Schache. Worth noting he pantsed some good players in Melican and Grundy on occasion.

3. Daniel is the best decision maker in the league. Never wastes a ball and his ability to hold onto the ball a split second longer to open up the space is unrivaled. He's also developed a much harder edge to his game. Big fan.

Naughton aside that is.

[Mofra]

1. McLean is ridiculously clean in traffic. He's the polish when he's not under a pack.

2. Dunkley, Wallis and Libba actually worked playing in the same team by releasing Bont, McLean, Hunter and Macrae to play more outside.

3. Stats don't tell the whole story. I was very happy with Wood & Crozier's games with their ability to play taller and hit aerial contests when need be.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Well he had played forward last year at times.

Let’s just call him the swingman. And yes the Peter Foster tag is perfect

I thought Wood was pretty good last night too. Buddy had him in that one on one but I’m sure buddy would have beaten most defenders in the same situation

[AshMac]

1. Libba is our most important player - he changes our impact at stoppage and clearances
2. Our intensity was back. loads of locked in fwd 50 entries, gut running and hard tackling
3. GOD I LOVE GOING TO THE FOOTY!

[soupman]

1. We can be fun. That feels great.

2. Sam Lloyd is going to be the player we all hope gets the ball. Aside from one error of enthusiasm he is almost always composed, a good decision maker and good user. I was happy she we signed him and think he will be very popular.

3. That was a carbon copy of several 2016 games. Concede a goal to their star player in the first minute. Dominate 2 and a half quarters without really getting too far in front. Watch the opposition come back to within a kick or possibly taking the lead. Finish with 2-4 goals late (including at least one from the Bont) to win by 15ish points. We did this exact game often in 2016, and rarely since. It's fun.

Agree. Could add Bailey Williams to that too.

[Templeton31]

1. Libba is great.
2. The Bont is great.
3. The roar when the Bont kicked that last quarter goal I haven't heard since 2016. Woof.

[Bulldog4life]

1. We might just have the best depth of on ballers in the comp.
2. Feeling excited seeing Naughton as our key forward. A straight kick too which is the icing.
3. Something positive happens when the ball is in Caleb's hands.

.

He seems to kick the ball with little effort and it goes straight and long. His he one of the straightest kicks we have ever seen.

Yes. Perfect straight leg follow through too.
