No Harbrow, or captain of the year Johnno

Shaggy's numbers stack up very well compared to Enright, Mackie, Goddard, Gilbert and Maxwell. Bet he still misses out.

All 3 have an excellent chance.

No Harbrow is a suprise.

Shaggy doesn't have the status to make the team, he is one of those under the radar players that will get over looked.

Lake will make it & Boydy might sneak a gig on the pine.

Anyone compare Boyd's stats to Ablett

Re: 3 Bulldogs in AA Contention

All 3 really deserve it! Shaggy really needs some solid outside recognition for once

No Harbrow is a suprise.

Hardly a surprise imo. He's played some terrific games, but his form has still been patchy. If his whole year had consisted of what we have seen the previous month, he'd certainly be in contention.


For mine, Morris is a little unlucky. Once again has rarely been beaten and rarely put a foot wrong. I get the feeling they will only pick one 'lock down' defender though, and Presti is perhaps a better bet for such a role.

Re: 3 Bulldogs in AA Contention

Really hope Boydy makes it. Miles ahead of someone like Pendlebury.

Based on stats alone Lake is ahead of Scarlett & Presti. Be frustrated if he didn't get the spot, he's earnt it.

Dane Swan forward? No Bock & Drummond? Dont like those decisions..

Dustin Fletcher is the squad?

Re: 3 Bulldogs in AA Contention

All three are serious contenders, Lake would probably be frontrunner for FB and Boyd could squeeze onto the bench. Hargrave is probably in direct competition with Gilbert, Goddard etc.
Definitley the three most deserving for the dogs

I cant see how Swan gets a spot on the forward line ahead of Jonno?

As a bloke who has played in the forward 50 all year his stats are impressive.

Jonno would be ahead of Buddy also IMO.

Swan has to get a gig in the team, but as a midfielder, sounds like a cop out from the selectors to me.
