I haven't seen enough of him to determine whether he's elite clever mate.

He's elite clever at using his pace to his advantage.

Spending so much time on a forward flank is definitely another reason his disposal numbers are down. With Dale in and our clearance work being pretty average lately, I'm hoping it means he'll spend more time in the guts.

Do you mean Daniel?

I get Libba has been a bit down but I don't think it's as bad as some as making out.

1st in the league for tackles and 12th for contested possessions. Rate both stats a lot more than finding it 30 times a week.

I'm so glad somebody has written this. Over 2017, Libba is currently our #1 player for clearances, contested possessions and tackles - 3 of the most crucial stat categories. If he is injured/out of form/in need of a rest, I'm not sure what that says about the rest of the team.

We'll see whether he can do it at the level. If he's both quick and elite with getting away from people and finding space then he should be fine. Let's see if we leave him to it, or turn him into another inside player.

Yep meant Caleb playing more high half forward and Libba in the guts.

Yes we do Lynch and he can't be far off getting his opportunity.

Lynch is so outside he needs to buy a GA ticket every time he gets the ball.
If he develops a harder edge he'll be good for us (JJ-like pace and straight line ball use) but I'm not sold that he is AFL ready just yet.

Well done Clay. Few have overcome as much as him to get to 50. Let's hope there are many more games and another flag or 2 yet to come.

Clay is one of those players who are difficult to watch without fearing for their personal safety. That, for me, puts him in the elite company of Dale Morris, Matty Boyd and (recently) Daniel Cross.

That says a lot.

Congratulations Clay on a well earned 50 games, the Bulldogs are a better team when you are playing well.

I like this week's changes. Two blokes coming in who are bringing in great form.

Great effort on making 50 games but I thought Clay looked very slow tonight and he went to ground to quickly. Not one of his better games.
