Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
Brucey has had 1 genuine 2020 level stinker and that was the Richmond game. He wasn't great against Melbourne but Wayne Carey and Chris Grant would have struggled with the way we were piss farting around with the ball that night, and he at least converted the few opportunities he has had.
He's been excellent overall, and I'm no Bruce truther.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
So exciting to have Bruce with 37 goals, Naughton with 29 and a spearhead in waiting in Marra.
I can't remember a Bulldog list like this ever.FFC: Established 1883

Templeton and Quinlan in the '70s. Sandilands could kick a bag of goals too but had to play in defence because there was no room in attack for him. They all ended up with other clubs in he end. Fred Cook dominated in the VFA but still should have been with us too.
We pissed away a golden generation of players with incompetence. Not this time though.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
The point was he had played well against the contenders - 3 vs Melbourne being evidence of that. He was ordinary vs Melbourne but kicked 2 at the end. Do they count in the race for an individual award? Sure. Did they help us on the night? No. He kicked on in the elimination final last year as well...when he took the advantage from a free kick given to a team mate. He didn’t earn the kick and NEVER should have played on but he did ans it - aa you say - counts.
Am I cynical about Bruce? Of course I am. And I will remain so. The performance last Friday was excellent though...let’s see that again this week.
Counting goals is great. But if you think that 10 vs North would have been worth 3 all kicked in the last quarter last Friday night...well...they just wouldn’t be.What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
I think North is the best bet. He might not have huge form behind him but he has natural abilities that make him close to Hannan. Nothing against him. Give him a taste now and let’s see how he goes. He either learns about the need for more fitness or work rate, or he surprises and excels and then gives us another forward option heading into finals. The then media stop the weekly questions about when he debuts. That distraction and noise gets neutralised. The match up should be favourable for him vs North and it gives all members and fans a really exciting week. While creating buzz and atmosphere around the club too which could be a helpful side effect. Then offer him a two year extension, if we haven’t already.

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
Would it be right to give Jamarra a run now after missing a chunk of the season and not yet in good form in the VFL when Schache has been in excellent form in the VFL? I'd like to see him earn it first.Listening to Brahm's 3rd RacketComment

Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
Very good question. I thought Marra was pretty good on the weekend. He worked hard throughout and got some reward late (he's a nice set shot kick thank god).
But Schache would be in front of him on form.
Sometimes with a high draft pick the benefit of by passing the traditional meritocracy might be great enough to make it a worthwhile endeavour.
Schache maybe benefited from similar at the Lions as a #2?
If we are going to play Jamarra I think the next block of 4 games is the time to do it.BT COME BACK!
