I'd be giving Keath a burst of six games with JOD and Jones next to him, and encouraging him to peel off and play the intercept game.

We brought him across after a year in the role at Adelaide and I think he could still offer us something. What I've seen of Khamis is fine, and there's something to work with but I fear his confidence is going to be cooked after that and a month or so at the lower level will do him good.

I'd rather we go with Buss... Keath is 32, Buss is 20.

We need to look forward, not back.. if Jones gets injured then we play Keath but otherwise we need to fast-track the new breed as quickly as we can.

From what I?ve seen Buss is going better than Keath anyway.

He very well might be, but I still think we need an experienced defender right now.

My only concern with Keath is his mobility and if it's going to be exposed more at the senior level but he is a good option to have.
I'd also consider Gardner who's now fit enough to play and of course we could take a chance and debut Busslinger although I don't think he's done quite enough just yet.

It's going to be a very interesting week with our selections.

Keath still looks pretty mobile from the VFL footage I've seen.
I'm not sure Buks gets dropped off one bad game.

I agree on Keath. I'm just not sure we can afford to play Buku when we come up against the top teams when they have more than one good forward. He just gets turned inside out by opponents. No perception or touch as to where they are. When he had a few minutes against Jeremy Cameron the other week he had no idea and although he is not the only that has happened to on Jeremy I am just not sure we can persist until he learns the art of defending.

Keath isn't the most mobile, though he can play 95% plus game time and can actually defend.

We need to invesr games into Garcia
There qas one passage od play at halfback in the last quarter where he received a terruble handleball amomgst 3 Freo players. Somehow evade them , turned around , kept poessession and kick in onto the wing.

I am a bit perplexed with what to do wirh Khamis ??? Do we develop him in vfl to be better 1:1 as the 2nd best defender? His lack of footy IQ showed on sat night. His still RAW.

Try and attract Dale Morris back to club or another top ex back man to coach Buku and JOD. Maybe Jones is imparting some of his knowledge but we need to fast track Buku and JOD (& Buss if he is staying with us).

I think he moved up north for family reasons Josie so the Lions job was a bonus.

[comrade]

You're right. Late in the game on Saturday night, EVERY bulldog supporter knew we were going to continue to bang the ball in to an overcrowded forward line repeatedly until such time as a turnover led to an end to end goal where the opposition get us out the back.

We've been watching this garbage happen forever.

In terms of the positional discussion - regardless of whether Naughton is suited deep forward, high forward - whatever - we currently have a huge issue in defence.

Currently we are absolutely no chance in the air in D50 unless our 33 year old fullback gets there to spoil. No chance. So if Jones gets injured, and when he retires - answer me this - what is our plan then? Because the ball is not going to stop coming in there. It generally comes in pretty easily after our 3-4 tall forwards all contest for the same ball and then its run out.

It?s ridiculous we are so overloaded with talls forward of centre, yet devoid of height in defence. Play Naughton back ffs, it solves multiple problems and should have been done years ago.

[JanLorMill]

We want a 3rd tall defender to replace a young developing Khamis then why we looking at Gardner or Keath?
Busslinger or Cleary are like for like replacements.

When Keath joined us, I liked it that he had performed well as an intercept defender with the Crows and, having been a cricketer, didn't have the wear and tear at 27 years that others that age have. Ironic that he's now injury plagued. I hope that doesn't happen to O'Donnell.

Keath gave up football after barely being able to walk for two years as a Suns listed player. It's a miracle he got back to any high level sport, let alone AFL level.

Didn't Keath reject the Suns for cricket?

I don't believe he ever went there for football.
