I like Gallagher but the kid's not quite ready for AFL yet.
Has been thrown into a few roles over pre-season so needs to be settled into a single role.

Some of the earlier melts in this thread may have been premature lol

Great sign that we?ve been able to readjust and really punish them

Hang on we're not done yet, there's still another qtr!

Reminder that Coffield's had two years out of the game - looks right on the pace already. Some really good contests and intercepts.

I was thinking the same. I had hoped for a little more.

Yep been trash.

But bevo says darcy isnt strong enough.

Did he say that?

I’d be giving Darcy the first crack in Rd 1.

He's had a few "almost" moments.

Why? It's the exact issue that we've had for years. Why do we always have to hold hands sing songs and be merry? The 2nd quarter was an absolute disgrace. Melts are completely justified.

Re: Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn - Community Series 2/03/24

Neither? Not sure 3 tall forwards works let anyone 4.

The follow up efforts of Naughts in middle of ground then to put pressure on & tackle-outstanding. Won?t get a stat but hope Bevo puts that on repeat.

Bramble - might just have got a good ?un.

Bont, Naughts, West, Libba, Treloar take a bow.

Any co-incidence VDM off & Daniel on and we look better?

Really hope West becomes a star this year-he has the tenacity, smarts & skills.

Yes agree that was a shit show. Its taken Bont to go full tilt to change it.

Re: Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn - Community Series 2/03/24

Bont a class above, 27 disposals. I reckon he had half those that quarter

Add Richards to that bow group-not a shit bow either.

Still think Cody belongs primarily in the forward line. He's just got a knack for it.

Yep, agree. I don't see the point in trying him in different spots just because we can. He's a great forward, decent goal kicker.

I think you're right, but I also really like the potential and would be tempted to give him two or three early games on
that alone. I think his pace and ability to go inside or outsider is pretty unique on our list. I don't really know where his best spot is, but I think the ceiling looks high.
