    Re: Welcome to the WesternBulldogs - Josh Bruce

    Rather amusing he finished on 99 games for the Saints. They wouldn't want a future gun F/S to come through.

    So you're saying give him 6 years, accounting for the odd injury...

    If he plays a 100 games for us then we are in for a good few years of footy in the first half of the 2020s

    Pretty sure Poppy can play for us as the rule is not 100 games for Father/daughter

    Money ball selection at its best. No longer will our young forwards be bullied. I'm pumped that we got him. With Naughton and Bruce roaming around the forward 50 the ball won't hit the ground.

    I've always admired Bruce from afar and I still can't understand why the Saints let him go this year. They are putting a fair bit of pressure on King before he's even played a game.

    From a Saints perspective, I don't get this.

    Surely Bruce would have been great 'cannon fodder' to protect Max King for a couple of years?

    The cannon fodder remark was made by Bruce not the Saints or us. Neither club sees him in that light
    He wanted another 3 year deal 12 months out and they didn't want to commit to that

    Membrey, Ryder, Marshall and they would be hoping for McCartin will play around King

    I think they were determined to add height to their back line which is why they preferred Howard to Bruce
    Howard and Carlisle should be a good tandem for them

    Shouting BAROOOOOOSE every time he marks/kicks the ball is gonna be a real joy for the next few years. First time since cooooooon that we've had that whole crowd 'chant'..although the collective intake of breath when Bont does something brilliant is close.

    Josh is away with Koby Stevens and on Koby's Instagram page he had a video where he caught Josh checking out the headline in the HS of himself coming to the dogs. Koby was giving him some stick about it!!

    Re: Welcome to the WesternBulldogs - Josh Bruce

    I was very disappointed in the performance by Josh Bruce last night and really across his 3 games so far
    His marking which was supposed to be a strength hasn't measured up and there is something wrong with the depth of his kicking

    I get that this is a disjointed season but he needs to improve very quickly.

    Outside of throwing his weight around last night which he absolutely must do anyway it's been a very disappointing start to his Bulldogs careeer

    I don't know, I thought his physicality was really important last night and he kept their defenders more conscious of him which helped our smalls. We haven't been doing any favours by not getting it to him in a one v one situation though.

    I knew this would happen. I’m so annoyed I talked myself into him.

    He shouldn’t be playing ahead of Schache.

    All is not lost but it hasn't been a great start by Bruce. Hopefully his form will start to improve.

    He’s way too heavy. Needs to trim down so he can move across the ground better.

    This week is huge for him. I said in another thread this week we should let him play deep so we keep our forward structure and have Naughton play more a traditional CHF role, but start 30m out and lead up to the wings etc.

    It is very easy for Key forwards to get lost at the SCG.
    More of an In Bruges guy?
