Which Bulldogs players do you consider to be “tough” or play with a bit of “mongrel”?

Conversely, which of the Dees are tough?  Trying to establish which team has mongrel advantage.  I reckon the 2016 Bulldogs were far tougher than the 2021 version.

This is a point I've even seen a bulldogs supporter raise. No Stringer, Picken, Morris in the current version of the dogs

Stuff mongrel.

If we win contested ball and post clearances we win this game. 

So thec questions should be

which team is physically stronger?

Which team is apply more physical pressure?

The answer to both is the dees.

We'll monster them

And long attack on simmonds

What got me was Wallis I'm sure retired after that GF so he couldn't care less how many games he was suspended for. Sheedy would have known and thuggery was a tactic. I hope its not used on Maxy on Saturday.

mark knight is no weg

But he doesn’t try to be. He even said that. He can’t replicate Weg so he does his own thing.

 I don’t care, I just want the win so I can hang one in the house.

This is going to be the case, most likely, but it will leave the Doggies terribly pre-occupied, all game and that will weaken what is left to make real progress in the game - as we have a huge talent base outside of our core of best players.

 

Start Jacko on the ball and Max forward Really [censored] them up!!!

I too am interested who they dogs actually have to get "physical" with Max.  It's not as if they have Barry Hall or Byron Pickett running around for them.  Reckon Max would just laugh at most of them and trot off to the next contest.  If Stef Martin tries it, Steven May can politely remind him what happened last time he lined him up.

I don't think they'll bother tbh, they'll just back their system.

Don’t think the throat is dependant on build. If I remember correctly, Wallis smashed Green in the throat and sent him to hospital with a fractured larynx. No doubt Sheedy orchestrated it. He then in another game wrongly accused an Eagle of sniping his player and made the throat cut sign with his hand and was fined by the AFL.

There have been no dirty hits in recent years in GF’s just a few suspect tackles.

I don't think they're a tough side at all, all this talk could be a suck in to get us to play the man. If we have to fly the flag fair enough, otherwise concentrate our attack on the ball and tackle hard and often.

I wouldn't mind if one of our defenders gets into Naughton's path occasionally in a manner that he can't flop around 'begging' for a blocking free.  Or May put a bit of side ways body contact on him before he takes his leap/takes a run.

I'm expecting their staging exaggeration to be at an all time high, especially Hunter and Weightman.  Both very good at throwing the head back for a 'high' free and leaning back into their opp as if being held, especially when they know they can't get to the ball!  Not to mention others who drop the ball before being tackled and get a 'holding' free.  They know all the tricks and will exploit them.

Petty could cover this guy. 

I think he's a super talent but he has no number 2 and if we can nullify this guy then I can't see Dogs kicking a big score. 

They have some handy small forwards but Weightman can be contained and so can Hannan.

Naughton and Schache and English to go forward to stretch our defence. Dogs will see our matchups as May on English, Petty on Naughton … then Dogs will try to use Schache to make Lever accountable.  

Posted (edited)

I don't mind Schache on Lever.  It won't be the same as on Allir Allir. 

From the PF it looked like Allir Allir took most of his intercepts deep in defence.  This made it easier for Schache keep him accountable while blocking for Naughton. 

Lever takes most of his intercepts 35 - 50m from goal.  Schache will have to do a bit of running if he is going to keep up with Lever!!

Of course we need to put pressure on the ball carrier to not allow delivery deep into their fwd 50.

Tommy Mac is playing a vital role for the team as well.  Forget the stats, Goodwin would just want more of the same

Playing in front on nearly every occasion and attracting a 2nd defender and sometimes even a 3rd defender, he's bringing the ball to ground for our small blokes ... so he's doing his job admirably.  A lot of bullocking work is often not noticed

The rest of it is up to our small forwards. 

And the marks will eventually fall Tom's way ... perseverance and a strong work ethic is rewarded in time

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
