Re: Doogs
It's horses for courses. Some players fare better in different teams for a variety of different reasons.
I know the West Coast supporters on BF seem to take great delight in knocking Doogs. He may just not have fitted in & with the improvement over there of Quentin Lynch, he struggled.
In some ways Patrick Bowden found a spot & slotted in perfectly at Richmond, tho with Lindsay Gilbee at the Bulldogs Bowden was never going to be able to play that same role with us, as I say, horses for courses.
If Doogs doesn't measure up then it's his own fault & we haven't really lost too much (as was pointed out earlier, we just dropped back a few picks in R2 & 4 of the draft & still got who we watnted anyway). The upside tho if he clicks is that it gives us just so much more flexibility.
Be very interesting to see how both he & Polak (DR's love child) fare in different environments.
