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.

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

Re: Favourite fringe bulldogs
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.

Re: Favourite fringe bulldogs
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.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

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.
