Western Bulldogs hardly done and dusted just yet

[Mantis]

You're harsh. Wallis was instrumental against the Suns and was one of two best players on the ground. His 3 goals were at critical times I thought and given our apparent dearth of forward attacking options his ability to hit the scoreboard may be missed. I thought he was just coming into some form.

Wallis was good against the Suns (who were severely depleted), but he has really struggled in 3 of our last 6 games... I expect more from a pretty experienced player and although he cashed in against the Suns I think his spot in the team going forward would've been questioned as we got players back.

He was down in the Geelong and Richmond game but hey so were 90% of our players. He was excellent against the Swans (inside your last 6 games) and the Suns as noted as well as against Port (also inside your last 6 games). If you're assessing his place in the team over the past 6 matches based on his performances against Geelong and the Tigers then you should be looking at more than half the list.

I don't think he cashed in against the Suns, he played well, some did and some didn't but you need to be good enough when it's your turn and he was.

I don't think Mitch's spot in the team was ever questioned and wouldn't have been moving forward.

I feel the gap between his good and bad perfomances had been too great over the past 6 weeks... The bad have been terrible, which includes Saturday nights game when he was extremely poor.

And he isn't the lone wolf in having variable form... Not by any shot.

Agreed he needs to close that gap. I realise you could question the performances of a heap of players over the past 6 weeks but you weren't you were discussing Wallis specifically in light of the injury.
