The harsh's critics of English are Bulldog supporters.

Fuuny about that.

Bankers:

Weightman - In his draft we wanted Pickett, but thought we would get Weightman. I wouldn't trade. Cody is a gun.

Jamarra - looking every bit the gun forward we hoped to draft. Some of his chases, and then doubling back to be the option once we won the ball back were terrific. At 21 years old, he is probably ahead of time in terms of where 6"5 forwards are at.

Poulter - showed enough to suggest he is a good mid year pick up. Enjoyed seeing him pretty poised and brave, stepping through or around traffic to get to his left.

Anchors:

Treloar - loves a 50cm handball to someone else who is under pressure. Thought his game was very very poor.

Duryea - I was an advocate for keeping him in as we have needed his experience down back. Unfortunately his form is starting to overshadow the experience by too much.

Bevo/Coaches - I'm not sure from where Bevo gets the nerve to go to the presser and say we got done for pace, while leaving Bailey Smith as a forward most of the night. In stages we had Rhylee West on a wing match up on J Daicos, are you kidding me?

I reckon we'd be happy if we had Pickett too but yeah, Weightman is awesome and I also don't have to defend any dog acts like Melbourne fans would do.

Edit: on top of that Weightman is so naturally likeable he's a Marketer's wet dream.

My Melbourne mates are ready to send him to Casey. Apparently been stinking it up.

4 out of his last 7 he's had 6 touches or less. Probably the plight of a small forward at times and he's obviously a good player.

Cody has 25 goals from 12 games this year coming off an interrupted pre-season and injured to start the year, Pickett 22 goals from 14 having missed 2 with suspension. Both going pretty well at this stage of their careers. Cody's aerial and lead up marking ability make him more versatile.

The tap to Degoey in the center square pretty much summed up English as a ruckman at that moment .Degoey gets a clearance ,goes to Pies fwd and results in a goal.

Wasn't that as much down to De Goey's mid craft vs Liber as the tap?

I mean, the tap went where it was supposed to go but De Goey should have NEVER been able to spit through onto his right side.

Spit through : you are such a coach!

I think our midfield is very one paced. Down hill skiers almost.
We beat up on the average midfields get found wanting against the best.
We've changed things, taken a two time AA out of the mix completely and I don't think it's mattered much. Caleb has just become our best mid almost.

Do we over rate the Bont effect?

Re: Bankers & Anchors: Rnd 17, 2023 vs Collingwood

Do we over rate the Bont effect?

Even when he has had a down night:

Bont vs Pies:

• 29 touches
• equal game high 15 contested
• game high 8 tackles
• 27 pressure acts
• 10 score involvements (#2 highest)
• 416 metres gained
• equal team high 5 inside 50?s
• 6 clearances, 4 from centre
• equal game high 11 ground ball gets
• 5 marks
• 4 intercepts
• 4 one %?ers

If anything this board under rates what Bontempelli does.

He went at 59 percent DE.

I feel he's gone more inside and we aren't better off for it.
He's too good for that.

No that's Libba! Bont gets more love than any player ever in the history of the Bulldogs.

If you said Macrae I'd be with you.

Bont is held responsible every time we lose.

Look at his stats from Friday night and the focus is on his two missed goals. Its kinda crazy.

For mine its a case of we focus on what he can't do, rather than what he can do.
