    Re: Game Day Round 10, 2017 - Western Bulldogs V St. Kilda

    Not much love for Mitch Wallis in these reviews but jeez he was a powerhouse. He did an amazing amount of gruntwork and was creative. Big 2 weeks from him. If Libba can get himself firing/fully fit, we are going to have a powerful engineroom come the pointy end of the season.

    Like others, was very impressed with Bailey Dales development, Hunter's efforts in a varied role - showing greater applicaton and making a big contribution, Daniel's composure and cleanliness, Stringers class in a very difficult game for forwards and our defensive unit generally, with Adams and Morris excellent.

    Lots of positives but we still have a long way to go though to reach the levels of last September.

      Hmmm.
      Yeah it was pretty obvious that it was a planned 'late change' - to bring Rough in for Clay. I don't think you'd be looking to go in with 3 rucks again though.

      But I do think we had a significant win at the selection table by leaving Redpath and Cloke out - giving Brown and Carlisle no obvious match ups. It was pretty plain to see that Brown on Stringer was a disaster for them with Stringer playing the deepest, and the Rucks making Carlisle have to defend.

        I was more thinking about Bevo asking 'Which Jordan'. We didn't have another Jordan in the 22. Weird question from Bevo.

          Is there a Jordan out there we have made an offer to and he got ahead of himself?

              Funny but unlikely BD. Only know of de Doey, Lewis and Murdoch as others out there and can't see any fitting.

                The checkside burn on Stringer? Just a guy trying to turn a pretty average day around I would have thought.

                Or maybe they HATE each other just like JJ and Stringer HATE each other and everyone HATES Tom Boyd who knows.

                  Have to say that in a very ordinary game, Bont's miss at goal was the lowlight and was followed by the saints kicking a couple of goals. Thank god that was an exception because it wasn't very Bont-like.
                  I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                    Yeah thats the one, I didnt even realise it was a checkside. He was 15m out straight in front. Was a very unBontlike day.

                        Reminds me that I noted during the warm up JJ & Stringer were kicking to each other. Yep, they clearly hate each other. BF strikes again.

                          Pretty sure HD was being sarcastic.

                            Pretty sure the BF talk is that if JJ goes back to Perth, his best friend Stringer will follow him there. Because its JJ that is most important to Stringer. Not his family.

                              There were actually rumours of a rift on BF, no sarcasm

                                Rumours on BF are just sarcasm without knowledge or intent.
