How do you solve a problem called ‘Our List’

Re: How do you solve a problem called ‘Our List’

I don't think that is the point.

It is not as hard to pick the best 22 as the OP may make out, as there is lots of potential/talent that we as Bulldog supporters tend to over rate when they haven't proven anything yet.

I guess this sums it up for me as well BAD.

I 100% agree our list is talented. But (to pick an example) the fact that Bailey Williams has 'TALENT' isn't the same as saying Bailey Williams needs to be in the 22. Everyone has talent. To really 'DEMAND' a spot you need to be a proven, consistent performer who has the trust of the match committee.

If (to keep the example going) I was to compare Williams to Crozier...both have TALENT. But Crozier is a proven commodity as an AFL half-back who has repeatedly 'stood up for us...Crozier would be HARD to leave out of the 22. Williams would be UNLUCKY to miss out based on his talent, but when you look at his body of work, it is not unreasonable to think he will spend time in the VFL.

I wasn't trying the run down the list - what I was saying was sometimes as supporters we get carried away with a flash here or there and think that is enough for selection...It isn't. It is enough for an opportunity. What happens after that? Well...

Love the positivity of this post ,, many players on this list pushing for limited spots so it's a good problem to have
Talent and execution and ability to outplay,, outrun and out muscle your open is a other thing ,. The last game against gws showed the gap in toughness and consistency gap. Our wholeist needs to play for 4 full quarters and just menace opponents .

We are getting there and the day which we scare the sh$$&#*t out of opponents and see the fear in their eyes when we smash them in every tackle, is the day I will enjoy watching them bleed.
