Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Matt Suckling
Some of his kicking is lethal. Crammers and Stringer will be licking their lips.
With Boyd and Murphy nearing the end, bringing in an experienced HBF from an elite system at no cost in terms of picks is a good list management decision.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Matt Suckling
Quite a coup to poach a player from the premiers
The curse is dead.

Not sure about this one. Hope to be proven wrong, but has a bit of "one trick pony" about him. Depth player.

Can see him slotting into Matty Boyd's role nicely.

Warming to this signing. Sometimes we struggle to get that long ball past a zone. Suckling's foot will be a good weapon to have to counter that.

Could force Boyd out of the side next year between him and JJ and if Biggs and Webb can step up.

The more competition the better. Pre season will be brutal

Plenty of good options off half back which is critical to our overall game plan.

What number will he wear?

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Matt Suckling
I think a few of our HBF-ers (namely Biggs and JJ) are actually more than capable of pushing up to the wing, and I won't be surprised to see this happen with Suckling staying back. They're not playing back because of their ability to defend, just their ability to be part of the team defence...considering were going with the Hawthorn model I would imagine Suckling is well-versed in those ideas!
I don't see him as a direct replacement for Grant, but I see his position on the list as an upgrade on all of the players we have moved on so far this year.
