Hope he has more chances with North when games start this, or looking more likely, next year. Still got a soft spot for Big Soup. His second efforts for a big bloke were pretty good. Did not fit the mobile big man mantra we like.

    Is it coincidence that Bevo seems to have a bit of a track record of rucks falling out of favour; Minson, Campbell, Roughy and Trengove?
    I’m surprised TC didn’t make it as a player
    Seemed to have all the tools , but only showed glimpses here and there .

    Here's an example - name every player that played a game for the Bulldogs between 2000-2009. I got 66/88 which I was disappointed with. Link
    Big fan of sporcle. Great timekiller. I usually go alright on those ones. The post 2010 one i usually get within 5 players of finishing, pre 2010 a bit harder. Other teams is much more difficult, if i can get past 50% I'm very happy.

    Just did the 2000 one. Got 82 and all the ones i missed were gettable, including at least one first round draft pick.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Peter Street, still our favourite cult hero. Invited him to my 21st & we still refer to where we sit as the Peter Street Pocket.
    Trent Bartlett. We have a first goal kicker competition named after him.
    I named a guinea pig after Wayde Skipper.

    Spindleshanks, Tiller, Barlow make my list too.

    If Paddy Vez can still make it Stephen Tiller is a shoe in. 192cm of pure flanker, prime cut.

    I saw Christian Howard gather 25 touches in a game and use it well. I decided to give up fringe players after he shat the bed every game after that moment in time.

    Shall never be deceived again.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Good god, the 2000s were a gold mine for Bulldogs fringe types.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I’ll never stop loving Koby Stevens. Nobody can stop me.
