Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
I think he is trying to mark everything at the moment which is a good instinct to have, but sometimes he has to know when he is out of position and a spoil into a team mate direction is a better option.They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
He really didn't understand the team's forward structure and didn't know where to stand nor run. Definitely worth having up our sleeve as an option and worth trying when the game was essentially over, but noticeably his training has been focused on our defensive structure not our forward one. He needs more classroom time."I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."Comment

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
Hamling was solid.
In my mind the end game for us is Adams, Collins and Cordy in defence and Hamling forward.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
I've noticed a few people are calling for Hamling to go forward eventually. Is he a forward? Can he kick goals? Is he creative enough to set up goals? I haven't seen him play forward so I don't have an opinion. If he can play well as a forward, that would be handy and it might also extend his career if others go past him.They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
Cordy - Collins - Biggs
JJ - Adams - Wood (Suckling, Webb, Dale et al)
That's one hell of a defence a year or two in particular. Mobile aggressive gorilla full back, Cordy plays tall & small and talent to burn, a couple of intercepting big bodies and creative run and dash rotating through. If Roughy lets in the ruck he's tall cover too. Hamling either end, Fletch looks a bit back now.
So now we are back to finding another good tall forward to finish of the other end of the ground. The more you look at the list and gameplans, if this list doesn't win a premiership or three, we never will.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
I hope Bevo throws in the odd random switch to keep the other coach guessing. I'd love to see Stringer and Adams go at it in the forward arc.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Marcus Adams
I think there's quite a few posters on here that think we do. Do you think the sole inclusion of Dickson is going to be enough to provide a viable target because at the moment Boyd can't clunk them or runs under them and Jake is out of form.
The majority of our goals are coming from the midfield.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment
