    The one thing that never changes with winning teams is having complete buy in from players, everyone working together
    I honestly believe it was because their best player told the rest of the team that he thinks they suck and then got sparked by one of those guys who he thinks sucks. They sound completely toxic.

You could argue that the Melbourne '3-headed monster' of tall defenders (Petty, May, Lever) was undone due to INJURY (Big Oscar) and Joe Daniher's partner going into labour...basically, Brisbane were forced to go small which messed with Melbourne's structure...BUT these players and the Melbourne intercepting style which is so in vogue right now...well, there is no guarantee that it is as effective in the FUTURE as it was in the past...
    Absolutely it's about the future. We want to be ahead of the game not replicating what the last few Premiers looked like. That was us in 2015-16, and arguably Collingwood and Sydney now. They have systems and fitness that has helped them finished higher than what it would at first seem from their playing list.

    What's our next strategic advantage since Handball Club, or where can we find improvement from players in different roles? Analyse our list deeply and determine what physical/athletic advantage we may have over others and design our gameplan around that.

    Welcome Paul.

    Lots of good ideas on WOOF, and we are the number one Bulldog forum as we have mature discussions, even though we don't all agree with each other, it makes for good discussions.

    Thanks Paul, I really enjoyed your post. This is a great site for analysing and discussing our footy team. There are some terrific contributors here and we look forward to hearing more from you and your colleagues.

    Any truth to the rumour we are getting Jimmy Bartel in a senior footy ops role?

    Unfortunately not. I was hoping if I keep saying it enough it will happen.

    Bartel has publicly said he wants to move into footy ops full time.

    I’d love for us to be bold enough to go after him and get him.
