Re: Three Things I've Learned-Round Five Western Bulldogs V Brisbane Lions.

1 - We can play some exciting team orientated football. Some of the team work by our midfielders is sensational.
2 - Playing 2 Ruckman can work which I didn't was going to.
3 - Pretty good crowd in tonight which was a bit bigger than I thought we might get. Hopefully PG isn't having to write cheques to Etihad.

1. Our half back line surely can't take another injury. But it did and we smashed the opposition.
2. Campbell /Roughead combo worked nice. I wonder if we could add T Boyd to that mix.
3. Morris has plenty more to give. He's playing as good as he ever has.

1 We miss a Hrovat or Honeychurch around goals to straighten us up on the spills, both are hungry and will have a shot.
2 McLean just gets better and better.
3 We need a big forward so Stringer rips apart the second best backman.

1. We demoralise the opposition with the weight of possession we're able to generate. In each of our wins (possibly the Carlton game being the exception), the other team had very few positives to take out of the game given the statistical domination.

2. Against lower tier teams, the only way we'll get scored against is either through our own unforced errors or through lucky chaos balls that open up the corridor. We now need to ensure our system stacks up against the best teams. It didn't quite work against Hawthorn, though if he had his time again, I think Bevo would throw Roughy back to protect the high ball. And add Easton Wood of course.

3. I don't want to lament what's out of our control but a fit Murphy & JJ, plus Crameri would really make this team special. Maybe we are without them, I guess we'll find out.

1 Tom Campbell is our best going forward ruckman.
2 Toby Mc lean is under rated and should only be dropped for a rest as his body needs another year in the gym.
3 Tory Dickson is a must in our forward line
4 Any player who's first name starts with "T" at our club must be picked.

1. Bad kicking is definitely bad football.

2. Bevo is unconventional when he picks a team.

3. How I missed Libba last year.

1.Tom Campbell will settle into the ruck forward role nicely.
2.Big Tommy Boyd will kick a huge bag one day soon with the amount of entries we have.
3.Fade outs may be a thing outs may be a thing of the past.

1. We have shown enough flexibility in game style and personnel to cover injuries. I feel it will bite us eventually though.
2. We can substitute slingshot, run and carry for measured aggressive contested work up the line.
3. Goalkicking is a club wide issue evidenced by the reserves woes on that front too. It will kill us in a big final again.

1.We have the game plan and style to go all the way.
2.With the amount of I50's we generate each game and our defensive pressure as a collective group I don't think the MC are to worried about our goal kicking accuracy.
3.Injuries don't seem to slow us or make us change our gamestyle.
