Matured a little

Eventually hit rock bottom more like.

Watched parts of the game at the club and thought a better option may be talking BBB out of retirement instead of picking up Cloke.

He still looks capable. Loved watching Scotty West, nothing has changed with those great handpasses

Then you'll love Rhylee West, a bigger & quicker clone of his dad, getting drafted by us in two years. Recruited for Calder Cannons U/18's next year from their U/16's program, also an AFL Academy bottom ager & MVP for Vic Metro in the U/16 Champs this year. If he keeps this up we will need to bank some draft points for him.

Love to see Bazza as our goal kicking coach. Beautiful action and kicks it straight 9 times out of 10. Ex player as well as barracking for us as a kid might be something that interests him.

Simon Beasley.

Here's what should happen. They take groups of players, maybe four at a time, and show them Beasley's glorious straight kicking for goal on video and tell them that they can all learn to kick like that. Then they go out on the ground with Beasley and he shows them the three or four things they can do to improve their kicking for goal. Half an hour and three quarters of the players will be considerably better kicks for goal.

With respect to Beasley, he didn't kick many on the run and I think our problem is in play goals, more than set shot.

Would like to know breakdown of % misses on run and in play vs other clubs. I think we are pretty bad at both, and usually the same suspects e.g. poor set shots; Roughy (although a bit better recently), Dahl, Hunter, Macrae, Smith, Dunkley.....

It's set shot as well. Almost all of our players have their own particular routine and all of them are lousy resulting in us missing a lot of set shots

% would be interesting, seem to have stats on everything nowadays surely that one is around.

BAD or BT will know where to look.

Running and set shot differentials? Got me stumped. Over to you BAD.

Running and set shot differentials? I thought this was about the EJ Whitten game!

Champion data would have this but I don't have access. AFL tables do have set shot accuracy here

You would love to see Scott West back at the Bulldogs and I reckon we could do a lot worse than have him replace Brett Montgomery a view shared by some former Club greats. West was highly regarded by his peers during his outstanding playing career.
