Three things you have learned round 15 2019 v Port Adelaide
Tell us three things that you know now that you didn't know before the game.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

1. Non bulldog fans will say of our best half back:
That JJ runs really fast, and kicks really long. He's your best.
Easton Wood us your captain. He's your best.
The little guy with the helmet gets it a lot. He's your best.
But Crozier is our best half back.
2. Jack Macrae has had THE MOST 30+ touch games in the last two years but won't be named as an AA in either year. But that's the selectors ignorance, not being one of the elite mids for at least two years.
3. I still find it funny the justification of selecting Gardner over Schache. 11.3 in 6 games this year. Highest goal average per game for us this year.

1. Wet weather really supports our game plan
2. We’re cooked next week after the level of physical intensity that match took. Lucky we only have Geelong
3. Crozier has become our best defender

1. Bring intensity, effort over 4 quarters and you won't lose many games.
2. The time Schache and Lippiniski spent at VFL level is paying off.
3. I know this already, but The Bont is unbelievable - extend him again NOW

1. When Bailey Smith discovers his ability to run he is going to be top tier. He's done the opposite of most 1st year recruits in that he's established his bonafides on the inside.. as a teen. When he is let off the leash..look out AFL he's a future game Brownlow contender.
2. Our coaching group got their game back tonight. Switched Naughton back at pivotal moments, and he was serviceable in the ruck.
3. Roarke Smith can play a role at AFL level. I did not think he was up to it.

I wonder if he could be our new Biggs? Flanker/wingman who isn't the most skilled but gives it absolutely everything and takes all he can get.

He was enormous tonight in more than just efficiency w the pill. He was the bloke that went over to every tackle and pulled up the dogs player, pushed off the opposition. Loved that.
Absolutely love his aggression after the contest too.

Will be a tough game next week but last time at Marvel we beat them and down Geelong Road 5 weeks ago we were in it for 3 quarters but got done in the last. Bring a 4 quarter effort next week and he can give them a shake.

100%.
Carlton took the safe option in Walsh, who no doubt will be a good pick. But Smith is going to be the best midfielder from the draft, once he hits his full stride.

1. 4 quarter efforts we will smash teams
2. We can kick more goals than points . But don’t know how we can kick better in the wet
3. Roark , williams , B.smith , crozier were very good . That’s our depth and backbone which will scare teams
4. English need help in the ruck . SWEET hurry up and fill that GAP

I treasure the wins I've seen up here in Brisbane. In particular the win in 99 in a raging monsoon -where I met my wife.
