  1. Sparrow, Viney, Harmes… any one, two or three of these..
  2. Aren’t we playing a GC away game at Marvel.. surely that is a win.
  3. Extract from the Article.. ā€œThe AFL have moved quickly to implement the ā€˜How can we shaft Melbourne’ rule. Whilst also confirming that umpires head quarters and training facilities will now move to Whitten Oval.. to closely aligned their adjudication to suit the Bulldogs style of duckingā€.
  4. Not much fanfare for Boweys debut..
  5. With Bowey coming in, are my prayers of Salem into the middle or HFF going to be answered….?? ??
  6. Please bring Oscar Baker in as well.. I feel a need… a need for … more gingers…
  7. We just need to be first to the ball and play in front.. amazing when you are chasing ar$e how many free kicks you can give away..
  8. I think he could play HFF/HBF, also rotating through the middle at times. He was good in the Geelong game at HB from memory when we lost May
  9. Our tactic of small kick or handball play on over the top has stopped. We also stopped looking inboard. We have become predictable and slow. Our forwards get shallow entry to congested spots. Also our midfield is again fighting for the same ball, to close to the contest. Fix these issues and we will win our way to top 4
  10. Not sure I have ever seen Pickett touch it in the middle. Seems lost there
  11. I still think the 3rd midfielder is our greatest issue. We need to try something else, something different. I have been going on about Salem for years, now his form has slipped, I think it’s worth a go now. I would rotate he, River and ANB. When Salem is not in the midfield, rotate him on the wing or HFF. Could be a chance to move Hunt or Rivers to the Wing. Bowey to come in and play Back, Sparrow to play back. Jackson out, Jordan out. TMAC and BB to do the job as talls.
  12. Out Jackson- replaced by Melksham Jordan- replaced by Sparrow Spargo- Bedford ANB- Bowey Need to move Rivers to another spot perhaps to a HFF, Bowey to replace his spot
  13. Why was TMAC rucking so much in the forwardline if we have Jackson.. he seemed to be on the bench when Gawn was rucking. Would have though those guys swap duties.
  14. I think we have lost the fabric that made us a good side: 1. Selflessness 2. Few players competing for the same ball 3. Unpredictability going forward 4. Short efficient kicking going forward 5. Small mark/kicks forward keeping possession
  15. Mitch Hannan is a mutt
  16. Still not sure Trac is an out and out midfielder. Maybe 30/70. He just cannot be defensive, let’s players out the back. We have some serious work to do.. cannot lose more than 1 game with the run home or we are on the outer. Given they were 2 down we should have won. Midfield is the greatest concern, then forward pressure is next. Then defensive stoppages, where we leak goals
  17. All getting sucked into the contest again. Like last week
  18. Luckiest team.. well looked after
  19. Can confirm, it is bucketing down here in Ballarat now, will be a huge slog feat.. high free kicks galore.
  20. Joe the Goose, getting ā€˜Joe the Gooses’.. Just switched on.. how is the greatest player to ever play, according to commentators- Rankin going?
  21. Haven’t been confident most of the year.. not about to start now.
  22. Hoping a big game from TMAC.. more so I can hear Hamish talk again about how he was shopped around end of last season and no one wanted him and look at him now.. and Luke Darcy to mention again about his all meat diet..
  23. I don’t think Gus was alone in 2019. The effort was poor defensively across the board, a big reason this year the buzz word has been about selflessness and players not chasing individual accolades. I’m still not sure where Gus’ best spot is, not just for him, but for the team. I worry about balance with Oliver and Trac and Gus. I’d love someone more dynamic in there. Like Shai Bolton.. ?
  24. He was a defensive liability in 2019. Never pushed back hard enough, so found himself out of favour. Has become selfless on the wing, so it could change, we may see him back in soon.
  25. Did we have a VFL match this weekend?
