Rounds 3 (Geelong), 4 (Freo) and 5 (Richmond)

 

Richmond beat us last year, because we ran out of legs in the last.  Do you really think Jordan was going to help with that?  Blind Freddy could have seen we were down 2 players at 3/4 time and we were cactus.  The best bet in 2017, was backing Richmond at 3/4 time against us.  We were clearly a better team that night, but 21 v 19 found us out.

The difference, though, is that the Bulldogs already had some excellent "ageing leaders" in Bob Murphy, Matthew Boyd and Dale Morris. Apart from our two imports (Lewis and Vince) we've had just Jones.  Similarly, perhaps they're not as aged, but the Tigers had real leaders in Cotchin, Rance and Reiwoldt. 

I don't think they needed Bob Murphy during their September tilt, and I think Boyd/Morris = Jones/Vince.

Don't keep digging.  And who here rated Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt before 2017.

 

 

Lewis to Melbourne made me vomit then, and makes me vomit now.  The MFC post-Neeld has always been over-stocked with one-paced mids.  If we really wanted to play finals footy, you target what you don't have enough of; and that was quick line-breakers.  To be honest, if you want to pay superannuation to a player, I would have preferred the club had a go at Boomer Harvey; because at least it would have shown me that the club really knew what it had and didn't have.  And if you lot are happy with a +1 racking up easy ball, then you really have no idea.

Q. Is he an automatic inclusion when he has healed?

A. I'm not sure he is on this year's form.

Wish him well, but the timing for him isn't great. May need to go vis Casey to get back into the squad.

Not as many as you'd  have of your 'greatest coach of the modern era' Terry Wallet.Or perhaps your Nobel Prize nominee Derryn Hinch. Laughable. Credibility  below zero.

Everyone seems to be hanging their hat of this guy. Came to the club to crawl over the line to the 300 game mark and some retirement fund coin. Harsh?maybe, reality? No doubt.

I have read a few of your posts and you have a very poor understanding of football or you are simply trolling.

Hunt is the only player keeping Hunt out of the team. He was dropped.

So I can further enhance my knowledge Jmac could you please enlighten me on the your understanding of Football since I'm a clueless troll. 

I would love to hear you take. I'm not on here to cause conflict with other users, I have my views rightly or wrongly they are my views, let me know what you think is wrong so I can go over it and follow the coaches lead.

By my understanding, You thought Hunt was his own worst Enemy? fair enough. 

Do you think he will be back for Tuesday Night? I Think he will be, Do you know why Jmac? because he brings something to our side that we don't have much of and that's Lightning Pace and Dare the x factor. 

Yes his kicking is a bit iffy at times it's not his strength, but he will run and carry , break lines, create over lap, run down players(not watch them run by) and yes even tackle.

You obviously don't rate one of our many weaknesses Pace, you would rather a team of plodders that lack x factor.

Drop some knowledge on me coach

P.s yours Trolly.

Chances are he will be back because he was BOG against Werribee. Exactly why he was dropped. To go back and find form. Its not rocket science but you clearly prefer conspiracy theories.

I worry about this point. Why is it that we (as supporters) seem to fall back on this excuse yet we can't beat teams in an identical situation. Last weekend Hawthorn were two down on the bench from around half time and it didn't seem to tire them; in another game (was it last year? year before?) against GWS they were, I think, three down on the bench and still won.

The old rocket science studies they did come in handy. Lets see how WE go Tuesday night then.

Yes when you look at it we had 11 of last weeks side who had played less than 50 games at the start of this year. Our number of games include Jones (240) Lewis ( 285) and Bernie (210) . Gartlett is next and then Bugg(ar)

Experience is needed and may not be really evident if you are not actually in the jungle.

For those supporters that critique the kicking skills of Hunt (and Viney); thank Jesus that they weren't Richmond's Chairman of Selectors in 2017.  Guess what?  The premiership team had the worst kicking efficiency in the AFL in 2017.

Give me Hunt with his speed and line-breaking ability, who may miss the odd target; over concrete legs, who gets relatively easy ball as a +1 and goes the safe option short and sideways.

I agree with you 100% TGR, I've been spewing they dropped Hunty, only player with run and dare.
