    Re: Bulldogs V Hawks - Round 8, 5/5/24 Marvel Stadium 4:00PM AEST

    Bevo is hanging on by a thread right now there was no method at all in that quarter. The forward line is a shambles, mids don?t tackle and we continue to back VFL talent such as Bramble. Sound familiar? This is groundhog day at the Kennel.

      How can a ruckman get 10 more contested possessions in a half than his direct opponent?

      Against an All Australian who wants a lucrative long term contract.

        I know right. We're going to pay him over a million per season. We're better off just getting a Meek or a Jordan Sweet.

          Meek should be on the big bucks….

            The exact opposite gameplan to what I think would work. We should be kicking longer to mismatches.
            They are short, but are working well together to ensure one player is engaging our forward, while another one or two floats across to spoil.

            We are too slow/lazy/stupid/unskilled/all of the above to create 1 on 1s that would fall in our favour.

                Well the silver lining is we aren?t going to have to pay a lot to keep English at the kennel

                        Bornadog surely you have to start questioning the coach?? We are playing a bottom 4 team it has nothing to do with talent.

                            English should be our round the ground one kick behind the play tall.
                            We need a big bodied player in the ruck.
                            Bevo and rucks had been a problem with Bevo since day 1.

                              If BAD takes that path things are truly dire and I'm not ready for that yet.
