3 Things I have learned - Bulldogs vs Hawks Round 3

Re: 3 Things I have learned - Bulldogs vs Hawks Round 3

If Boyds playing welll enough to hold his spot at the end of the season i think the decision should be his. We dont have a heap of old players so theres no need to push them out the door.

That's for this season. For next season it's: Murphy, Wood, Biggs, JJ, Prudden (?), Dale, Webb, Cordy, Suckling, Dunkley maybe, Lynch, Williams, R. Smith and any recruits, trades or free agents. We need to move on probably 4 players, we need to have a balanced way of bringing in the future and handling retirements. If there's a massive difference between Boyd's Grand Final and the potential output of the next HBF'er behind him I'd agree. If the output between them is slender and another preseason will see the next best overtake him next year, then best thing for all is a great dignified send off.

This should be Boyd's last year IMO.

Have said it multiple times, but I would absolutely love Hooker or Hurley in this side.

I think Hodge is a prick on occasion and I dislike how he gets a free pass irrespective of the prickish and dirty things he does on the field from time to time. Yes he's skilled and hard, but he can be those things without being a dirty prick and I don't want our players to be like him.

Just in case I got in trouble I didn't want to pot Hunter's handballing skills, but I did notice the over-shoot that was reminiscent of the EF's dying seconds.

Much of our troubles with the football are largely related to mental fatigue and poise. I've seen the latter develop in players over time, I think in the vast majority of cases the younger players on our list will develop it.
