        Cordy would be the obvious one. Trengrove has struggled to impress.

          Bevo was effusive in his praise for Trengove v Dixon last wek. He gets the really big kpf's and will again.

            Cordy would be conceding almost 10cm, with Brown at 200cm. At least Trengove is 197cm.

            I disagree that Trengove is struggling. He has done well since moving to the backline taking 22 marks in the last three games and has averaged 7 disposals.

              I haven't been overly impressed with Trengove. I was one who was happy when he came but like Crozier (Who is praised by our coach?) has been a let down.

              He's got a tough gig though, being a Bulldogs backman must be pretty scary, slightly less scarier than being a Bulldogs forward.

                On the brightside, as a Bulldogs backman you get to play twice as much football than one of our forwards.

                  He was done when he was at Port. We have another 2 years of him.

                      You begin to wonder the logic in recruiting Trengrove when you also have Naughton Young Adams Roberts and Collins as key defenders. The Club is crying out for quality midfielders which has been given little emphasis in our recruiting.

                        Who of that group would you play ahead of Trengove?

                        We didn't have Naughton when we signed him so he's out of the equation. Young is raw as hell and not ready, Adams perpetually injured so not bankable, Roberts nowhere near it and Collins would be ranked bottom of the lot.

                        We went into the season with Cordy about the only KPD you could rely on, noting Morris has battled injury since 2016 (even during 2016).

                        The weird moves pre-season (playing Trengove as a ruck-forward and playing Wood forward) and other list management decisions seem far, far worse than getting Trengove.

                          Don't forget Naughton is 18 years old, Young 19 years old, and Collins 20, with all their birthdays in December.

                            My main concern that with Cordy we now have 7 key defenders and yet in today’s football with the game usually won in the midfield we have given a low priority to recruiting match winners where it counts most. Collingwood for example go out and recruit 3 quality midfielders from GWS. Hawthorn target Mitchell and O’Meara from two interstate Clubs. Richmond WCE SS Collingwood,Geelong ,are all strong in the midfield. For us to become a finals contender again our focus needs to change dramatically.
