Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Bont has gone next level. Loves the physical stuff, rough him up at your peril
2. Hunter seems to be the new whipping boy. Which is sad as he's a very good footballer, but some focus on what he doesn't do rather than what he does.
3. This foward setup wont win us a final. We badly need Camhead back and Boyd staying deep.The curse is dead.Comment

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
Are players immune from criticism due to the good things they do?
Hunter works very hard and accumulates a heap of possession. But he's careless with the ball and his disposal can be sloppy and it hurts us.
If you think some on here think he's a whipping boy, perhaps you should consider why the opposition is happy to let a guy like him rack up possession.
That being said, despite a few clangers I thought he played a pretty good game last night. Credit will be given where it's due, but so should criticism."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
Agreed on Hunter EW. In the game day thread I mentioned he figured prominently in our best and worst yesterday which is as balanced as it can get.
To me it seems between the ears as much as anything else. Whist his hand and foot disposal technique isn't perfect it's not atrocious and shouldn't be a barrier to not using it well. Hopefully things tighten up as he matures.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Hamling and Roberts may yet be our long term answers in the key defensive posts. That was the best games they've played this season (admittedly helped by Brown going off injured) but it should give them confidence to build on and renewed faith for us supporters.
2. Zaine Cordy might yet be the forward we've been looking for - didn't see that one coming.
3. Webb - he will be able to impact games as a midfielder, great to see him spend more time in the role we've been developing him in at VFL level.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Webb's work in close was outstanding. Led our side for clearances, a kid in his third game for the year. Probably rated about 30-35 on our list right now and he can do that at AFL level. Excellent.
2. Zaine has some real mongrel to his game, he'll make it.
3. If we took Dunkley at pick 11 I'd be satisfied we got value. He is going to be fantastic, his tiny touches, taps and positioning is already excellent. A natural footballer.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. You can't write this group off, they will make you look silly
2. We can win very low scoring games
3. Cordy is taller than Hamling
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
