Came here to post this
The line up on paper is always a little bit weird, I think Naughton has been named at CHB most of the season, but this is just taking the piss
R: Zaine Cordy, Bailey Dale, Caleb Daniel
Int: Adam Treloar, Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Macrae, Tom Liberatore
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

They may as well have not named the line up. The club is giving the bird to the media and supporters, poor form. Whoever in the club approved the post of this rubbish is simply a dickhead.

AFL site is slightly different. We have Dale in the centre and Duryea as a rover.

Amon has been on fire. Roarke in and playing defensively on him makes sense.
Let’s see how Cody has improved his game for AFL level - big test and again, defensive work rate will be on display.

To be honest as long as they tell us who is in and out, does it matter? If you watch them each week, you know how they’re going to line up. The team line up gives you no real information you didn’t know already. I think you’re taking this way too seriously.

Then they should simply name the ins and outs and you can work it out right ? We are the only club to implement this type of mockery of naming team line ups and it does us no credit imo.

I think there are plenty of things in the world worth getting fired up about, not sure this is one of them.

Grow the locks back Roarke. In that photo you could be Bailey Dale's twin.

I tend to agree because there doesn't appear to be a lot of sense to it and I don't believe it serves the Bulldogs fans either.
With limited IC rotations all the AFL will need to do is inform clubs that players named on the IC bench have to start there and that will fix it straight away.
I wonder what motivated us to take this approach. At least Comrade got his wish to have Naughton moved to the back line

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Port Adelaide
It's really average from the club; I'm not fired up about it but rationally this doesn't make any sense to me.
Just name the team in their starting positions.
Kids love that stuff, my nephew keeps an almanac and can tell me stuff I didn't know existed!
He loves seeing where the players line up.
Frankly I just don't see the point of taking the p155 out of the process. It would take more effort!
Just be professional and name the team properly.

Their lineup is pretty bang on this week, maybe they stopped.
It's not a big deal, but why do it?
You aren't fooling the opposition?
I actually originally thought it was clerical error.

It doesn't make any difference to me but when you consider it's almost impossible to get to any training sessions during the year and number of club/supporter days have been canned, making a mockery of team selections is just another way the club is systematically distancing from their fans.
If it was making a difference then great but it's not going to amount to anything. Is Bevo looking to take on any reporter that dares asks him about it post game?
As for your nephew, I've been keeping tabs on who starts on the IC been each quarter for a while now and I like to look back on it from time to time.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Port Adelaide
I would liked to have seen Butler in this week as he has played some decent games in the VFL. To me Roarke is a very average player and if he was any good would have been on the main list years ago.
I really wish the bye in the VFL could have been avoided, especially so early in the season.
