It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

A lot less. Adelaide had talent to deal. 

Aah well its Carlscum. I have less than zero sympathy.

Disagree, mate, but each to their own.

As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

They are nowhere near as bad as we were a few coaches back at least they have a couple players who can play the game. I don't think there future will be awful but they will need so complete some cracking trades/drafting recruiting 

Cripps, Murph, Gibbs and Docherty all need to be there a long time. They need Simpson to play forever and as an outsider hbf.

I love Weitering, think Marchbank, Plowman, Silvagni, Petrovski-Seaton and Curnow will be players.

What they are desperate more than anything for is:

FF:      Garlett.    Kennedy.     Betts

I was hoping Carlton would be kept to three goals.

And that Casboult would be their only goal scorer. Ah well. Let's hope they still lose by 100 points.

Commentators were talking Rowe up 

Must be over that terrible concussion 

[McQueen 17,864]

One question I would love answered for tonight's game is;

who has the bigger head - Ollie Wines or Charlie Dixon?

 

[Binmans PA 26,663]

He was wasteful tonight, but is Paddy Cripps gettable? Imagine Oliver and Cripps playing in the same side. Nah, I'll take Weitering for one of our KPB posts.

You'd prefer Marchbank to Weitering?

Marchbank is a defender..... I assumed when you mentioned 'our KPB possies' I'd take him over Oscar.

Weitering is a different cat. Anywhere on the ground for that kid I reckon. I hope Carlton develop him well enough that when he joins the team he grew up supporting there's a flag for him.

Yeah, I'd play Weitering back though. Beautiful reader of the play. Good decision maker, neat skills and strong one on one. Come home, Jakey boy.

Not being able to put Carlton to the sword might effect us later this year in the run to finals. We need a percentage boost and should've beat up on them. They're a poor team going nowhere fast. Port are decent but will finish middle of the ladder again as I don't think they will sustain their intensity all season.

Our percentage will be solid most of the year, I reckon. It's all about wins for us. Get 12+ wins and we should make the finals. That's it.

I wish we played the team the Blues put out tonight because it was far weaker than the team we played.

I think Carlton are gearing themselves for another healthy trade/draft period.

Love the return of the collar on the Dogs' jumpers. 

And how much of a dead ringer of Raphael Nadal is the young tall forward for Brisbane?! Spooky

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Dogs playing like us at the minute - dominating the game but can't hit the scoreboard.  Lions have barely gone forward but have kicked 2 goals.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Lin Jong with the worst shot on goal for the year there. 

[dees189227 11,249]

congrats to Bob Murphy on his 300th game. Amazing how he is the 7th bulldog to play 300 games and we still only have 1.

I hope Rockliff leaves Brisbane. They are going to be a seriously good side in 3 years time. Their KP stocks are already scary and McLuggage joins Beams, Zorko and Rockliff as one of the best starting midfields in the league, supported by an in form Stefan Martin.

Lucky they got that priority pick last year.

The AFL can't afford them to be down for much longer.

Brayshaw was pretty much a PP. I don't have a problem with Brisbane getting assistance. I just hope they don't interrupt our window. Rockliff leaving and maybe even Schache would be handy.

Lions doing a cats (appropriate) and Dogs doing a demon with those kicks on goal

[Binmans PA 26,663]

The Bulldogs look ordinary today and they're not bringing that same pressure as last year, but Brisbane are going to be something. The defensive structures are superb, both through the middle of the ground, and their defensive zone.
