Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
The question I was asked contained a comment that I was always advocating for deeper cuts to the list therefore it was referencing the past. I would have thought Prudden, Honeychurch and Roarke Smith would have been regarded as fortunate to survive especially with known long term injuries to Wallis and Redpath. A couple of spots could have easily put some depth back into the list.
We went into the season light on for experienced players and with a few injuries and some drop in form we've struggled to play good football for enough time in our games.
Prudden is an interesting one - we did the right thing by a fringe player to rookie him while he was halfway through recovering from a knee reco. I think that was definitely the right play as it shows the playing group and also prospective players from other clubs that we care about all of our players.
Honey was very lucky but I can understand keeping him after we lost 22-30 players like Hrovat and Stevens. Hamilton was extremely fortunate to get another year.
We brought in Cloke who is ready-made and was tracking perfectly well until Ziebell's cheap shot fractured his sternum and ribs - he hasn't been the same since. Crameri was unforeseen, and based on his excellent 2014/15 seasons with us would have been expected to be a valuable senior player for us this year - again circumstance has conspired against us.
Murph deserved another year as did Morris. Boyd was a touch and go call but off the back of an AA season he really deserved another year based on form.
You're probably right but we have also been very unlucky with a number of issues within the playing group - I think hubris is too strong a word."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Only Honeychurch off the main list, which means one more player - that is hardly cutting deeper.
Any way - how many would you advocate for this year - forgetting the Rookie list at this stage.
For me I have the three 35 year olds, Hamilton, Honeychurch, and possibly Webb - which makes it 6. I think JJ will stay, and we may look at trading out another player depending on JMAC and who he chases.Comment

It probably is but there was a fair bit of it from a fans perspective with some of the comments I've heard and read indicated we just had to show up in September and turn it on again.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

I think the fans being cocky has no bearing on the club to be honest .
I mean we all thought we'd get bundled out the first week .Comment
