BENNY HOLLAND...WHERE ARE YOU???

I think you'd be surprised at how mobile Jamar is, it's just that his brain isn't quick enough so it makes him look slow.

And he stands at 197cm (?), compare that to the likes of Ottens (202), Cox (204) and of course Sandilands and it's a fair bit of a difference

    With just two changes, our defense would imrove a lot

    Out - Carroll and Miller

    In - Rivers and Holland

    who would Holland play on when Will Minson wasn't in the forward line?

    he would go forward

    That is the beauty of Dutchy

    he'll go forward and have his opponent run up the other end a kick a goal because he's so slow

    Holland is on our list and should be picked on merit , not just because a young guy is or is not ready to play seniors .

    He was our best player for Sandy on the weekend and therefore deserves to be played , end of discussion .

    Disagree. I dont accept that a BOG at Sandy guarantees a recall to higher grades. He was kept on the list for a purpose and should only play in the line with that or if there are serious injuries.

    I would rather find out what we can get out of younger alternatives. I know what I get out of Benny. At best he is passable, at worst he looks inept.

    BTW who is his direct match up for a short team like the Bulldogs?

    Any of the resting ruckmen , who would completely obliterate any of our key defenders otherwise.

    BTW , I would rely on him to kick goals well before Newton , Robertson and Neitz .

    I would be ;) You may be right, but either way the outcome is the same.

    PJ moves far better, and is 1 cm taller (at 199, vs Jamar's 198 - MFC Almanack 2008).

    Apparently Meesen is also a good athlete and moves well, and he's 200cm.

    BTW who is his direct match up for a short team like the Bulldogs?

    He played up forward last season, to good effect.

    No room for him with all of Newton, Robbo, Neitz, and Miller though.

    1cm isn't a huge difference :P

    Meeson I can see playing as a defender, looks a bit like a fish out of water in the ruck from what I've seen of him (which in all honesty isn't much at all).

    Jamar just needs to get angry more - he seems to play better when he is :lol:

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
