I'm actually getting tired of bashing JVR around in the ruck. I know the cupboard is bare but it's actually getting annoying now. 

I totally agree. Max said in a recent video he rates him as a ruck, but you can find adequate rucks elsewhere. Above average tall forwards are much rarer. 

One thing that frustrates me apart from the fact it must take a toll on is body is us getting the ball at half back and me thinking "OK, where's JVR?" And the answer is behind or near the player with the ball because he's playing in the ruck.

When you kick the ball into the forward half of the ground as poorly as we do, it's so important to have someone who can compete in the air.

You’d probably look at Tomlinson back for this one as a like for like for May. He seems to play well on his return game from the VFL, but struggles the game after and then finds himself back to square one.

I also think T Mac might be dropped for this one. Somehow scored a player rating score below 0 and has really struggled in our last 3 losses.

I know it's not exactly a an eye on the future type selection but would be nice to get him a goodbye game.

You need to add Jeffo to your Favourite Players list on your profile.

It's robbing Peter to pay Paul and I know Jacob is a physical player who can handle some punishment but he's valuable merchandise for the future. You don't take your Bentley off-road driving. 

Imagine if we shut down Max for a few weeks and JVR ends up doing some kind of injury in the ruck which could eat into his pre season. I know we're stuck, I know we have few other options but it would be nice to be non-reckless for a change.

Not to mention (assuming we're going to continue to bomb it into the forward line) we'd be eliminating one of the guys that actually has a chance of marking the ball.

I’m just turning up to watch Dan Houston…

Personally, if I could, I would create a banner for him - I think you should create a banner for him or maybe get @WalkingCivilWar in on the action.

Maybe something like

"Dan Houston, your long kicking is a form of art

Feel the vibes of a members wing

And don't forget

Well Goodwin seems to think we still have a chance at finals and says he'll put off other condsiderations till there is 0 chance.  I wonder if he means it.  Selections tomorrow will probably tell

If they're not playing Jefferson this week, then give BBB a game.

He played his one of his best games for the MFC in the 'business trip' and Bulldogs supporter were actually relieved that he wasn't playing last week, such is the trouble BB has caused them since 2021. 

Port have an undersized defence now that Ratugulea has moved forward, so maybe his height could cause them an issue.

Pickett you and Goody are now on the same page. Straight from the horse’s mouth at today’s presser. He’s getting closer and closer all the time. We’re rapt with JEFFO… Whether that’s a game this week or in the coming weeks, we’ll wait and see.”

From the presser today it appears Tomlinson will come in for May. Petty will stay up forward. No players will be rested or others gifted games while there is a mathematical chance we can still make the 8.

I cannot see many changes this week. On a different note and not an excuse, last week we had 5 players who have never played a game at marvel stadium. Small wonder they looked lost.

How about:

Dan stick with the plan and be a Dee.

If you don't, Houston, we have a problem.

Can we get someone to make up a dees guernsey with Houston's name and number on the back and dangle it over their players as they run out? It [censored] me to tears when that Freo flòg did that to us re. Jackson in '22.

I guess the big question on everyone’s mind is can Petty crack the 10 goal milestone as a permanent key forward by season end?

I'd be very surprised if McAdam plays another game for the club this year, perhaps ever.

I tend to agree.  Did he get a 2 or 3 year contract?  Unfortunately either way only one has been served.

One of the posts of the year.  👏👏👏  

JVR is our only effective tall forward and we burn him out in the ruck - makes little sense. Yes, he is our second best ruck, but having him forward in the short, medium and long term is surely a higher priority.

I don't think he had any real preseason and got injured early in season so was behind eight ball and looked unfit.

lets see what full preseason does for him,  Clarry, Spargo, 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.
