nah, i'd rather win games than have a moral victory

14 out of 18/19 games is a Bazball winning total. We got out of jail in Fourth Test and cheated another Lords  result 2 series in row. I was at both.

    So get out the abacuses, slide rules, Casio desk calculators, power up the IBM mainframe and call in the statistical analyst think tank.

    Q. To ‘objectively’ decide what?

    A. Max Gawn as a ruck man ‘qualitatively’ has the greatest influence on team success of any of the ruck men in the land.

    It's the contested marks that is the difference - 2.3/match, more than 50% better than all comers.

    Cheers appreciate the abstract,  summary and key points fellas. So that finally puts to bed the supposed benefits of the Tapp brothers synergism. KISS and make up works a treat.

    Think 13 from 20 is the accurate figure.

    Pay decent money for a guy who obviously wants to be no.1 ruck? What could possibly go wrong!

    Real talk though he'd be a worthy successor, hard to know when that will be though.

    Tim, teenage bomber prodigy. Is he just bored or has the little man on the inside gone awol?

    Maxy took unders on his last contract so we could re-sign our other stars on long deals and will play for another 3 years if he remains uninjured. I actually thought that Petts did really well playing as our tall marking outlet from defence when Max dropped back.

    So Max has 3 more years of his contract.?
    He took unders - can you explain this please?

    Thanks

    Hi Dingo. He's hinted himself that he took less than market value when he signed his last contract in order to ensure there was enough left in the kitty to re-sign the likes of Gus and Vines to long term deals when other clubs were sniffing around them both. He might only have one year left on that contract (I think?) but I think he could play for another three at a high level, making it less than likely that we target another No.1 ruckman for at least two of those years.

    Good news.  He’s soft. 

    Let's try for Ugle-Hagen and/or Bont instead.

    I remember years ago posters would say ... let's offer next year's first pick ... and Bate and Dunn!! Not sure who the current versions of Bate and Dunn are!!

    Bulldogs taking dangerously long contracts with players, like we do…

    or just locking up their best talent, like every other club does?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
