Welcome to the Westernbulldogs - Cody Raak

Just stating who we have.

We have the best list in the AFL. It's just unbalanced.

I'm not sure we balanced it over the off season.

But who knows what options there was.

Melbourne have the best list. Elite midfield, ultra elite defence, multi dimensional forward line.

They've got 2 mids.

[azabob]

They've got 2 mids.

That destroyed our mids when it counted.

Cmon I'm trying to lift our spirits!

[bornadog]

Mentally we were shot.

[Grantysghost]

Mentally we were shot.

Like the Power in the Prelim. No way we are 70 points better. Just when the game was gone they caved.

[comrade]

They've got 2 mids.

They’ve got 2 superstar elite mids and a number of good players prepared to do whatever it takes to win. Then throw in Gawn and Jackson.

They’re clearly ahead of us all over the ground and nothing we’ve done off season has bridged the gap.

But at the end of Rd 20 with loads of injuries we were on top.
There's some demon love on here that I'm not sure is warranted.
Ben Brown? Tom Mcdonald seriously. Hannan hits a handball we are 25 up.

Im not saying they're not good, just don't think they have a better list than us.

I agree, they had a dream run in 2021, and you need that to win a GF. A whole year with only one major injury (Tomlinson), and just had to travel to Perth, lockdown 14 days and free.

We used up nearly every player, travelled for 4 weeks and locked away almost the entire time. No excuses in the end, but Demons are beatable, and we showed that in the rain at the G.

[Grantysghost]

I think the Swans have probably as good a list as anyone. I was really shocked they went out first week.
Losing their half back gun Dawson was massive.

We do lack that power mid like Martin and Petracca which looking at the last 4? Norm Smith's seems to be critical.

Bont is more silk than power.

Rapt to finally have Raak on board. Very mpressed with his resilience and determination.

Agree TD, give him a year or two to see how he develops.

Yep, no brainer to give him a spot on list as a Cat B.
