6. Mcdonald 5. Oliver 4. May 3. Salem 2. Harmes 1. Langdon

Hey guys, is anyone worried about our lack of ability to switch on at the start of every quarter. Almost every week the opposition kicks a goal in the first minute of every quarter. And quite often in the first 30 seconds. Its bloody frustrating!

Last week I gets shot down for putting Brayshaw in my Outs. Now everyone is following suit. I'm just a week ahead of everyone else. Also, shame on everyone for saying Mcdonald needs to go back. Thank God that didn't happen.

can anyone who suggsted putting Tom Mcdonald back kindly refrain from ever commenting on team selection and have a good hard look at yourselves. Put your hand up and own it.

Gawn - Hits to disadvantage McDonald - Play him back? (Lol) Brown - an improved performance Petracca - got caught regularly Spargo - big clutch goal Melksham -rarely noticed him Fritsch - not worth challenge Pickett -proactive first half May - had Buddys measure Salem - career best form Harmes - Offered significant drive Jackson - back to earth Lever - didn't intercept today Brayshaw - doesn't value footskills Oliver - possible 3 votes Hibberd - Solid as (a) rock Langdon - continued AA season Jordon - important chase-down tackle Rivers - took first option Hunt - offered important run Neal- Bullen - playing his role Petty - poor mans Tomlinson

I called for Brayshaw to be dropped last week after he butchered the ball. But he kept his spot and butchered it again. When will demonlanders follow suit and realise that Brayshaw needs to respect ball use and momentum before returning to the team.

yeah I actually agree. I wasn't being serious. is it just me or does she flirt with Brad Johnson and Jordan lewis though?

I actually like Sam McClure too. When you're surrounded by guys like Robbo who butcher the English language and guys like Eddie who yell their opinion across the table, I like how Sam McClure is always calm, never raises his voice, is articulate but also strong in his views. I think the media get such a hard time but I think they do a really good job covering our game. I think besides Robbo who isn't fit for television (or radio) they all do quite a good job. My favourites are Whately, Lloyd, Ross Lyon, Sam McClure, Dal Santo, Gary Lyon and Kath Loughnan because she seems to flirt with her co-hosts. lol

I've never understood the hatred that people have for Caroline Wilson. People pick on literally every person in the media.

wait until the bye.

I don't see the love for Brayshaw on a wing. he turned it over a lot by foot on the weekend and he is terrible defensively due to his lack of leg speed. Did anyone see how easily he got side stepped on the boundary line against north. It's like his feet were stuck in concrete. Against quick teams I wouldn't mind having Baker in instead.

we don't get a top 10 pick for Weideman mate. would be lucky to get a late first for him. Most likely early second round.

I'm sorry but if I'm Weideman hearing that I'd be saying; "'I've kicked 14 goals in 3 weeks, including a bag of 7, don't talk to me about earning my position! Especially when Ben Brown got promoted on lesser form. Talk about patience, how about you put me in the team and one of the other players can be patient!". These would all be reasonable points from his perspective.

The problem is that Ben Brown and Tmac are old so offer nothing long term and Jackson is a ruckman so Weideman is the only young forward of that lot. must keep him

I legitimately don't understand how he still has job position in the media. he isn't remotely coherent.

completely ignoring the fact that Ben Brown had about 10 times the supply of Mitch. Mitch won the game, Ben Brown could have lost it with his dropped mark and sloppy free kick against. Not all 120 minutes are valued the same.

I hear what you're saying regarding Petty but T.Mcdonald is just as shaky in defence so lets go with Petty back and keep Tmac forward where he plays his best footy.

is anyone worried about our first half's this year? We've been so slow out of the gate in almost every game this year. Rich, North, Hawthorn, Fremantle, Stkilda amongst some others. I hope we can switch on from the start this week.

glad to hear that Goodwin has some brain cells and isn't playing McDonald back.

id say closer to a mill a year. id be surprised if it was 1.2 over 7

im so [censored] off with the whole system. The bulldogs get the number 1 draft pick Ugle-Hagan and the moment we are onto a player who would fill a list need for us, we won't get him. arghh. do some under the table deals Jason Taylor!

I think the Tomlinson and Viney injury coupled with the first half against North put the lid back on in my eyes.

It's an honest question, are people that want Tom Mcdonald to go back young supporters that weren't around when he was a turnover/clanger king from 2011-2016? If not, I think people have forgotten that Tom Mcdonald turns to mush when he goes to the backline. His decision making and skill execution fails under pressure so its a HELL NO from me. I don't forget how horrific his decision making is in the backline. His best traits are his set shot goal kicking so he needs to stay forward. So it's 2 of Weideman, Brown or Mcdonald but not 3 of them and not involving Tom Mcdonald moving back.

do we even know why he's called Dogga? I just call him Jackson or Jacko because I ain't getting behind a nickname until they've a) earned it and b) it makes sense :)

What I would do: In: Weideman, Petty, Harmes, Bedford Out: Brown, Brayshaw, Fritsch, Tomlinson * Playing Tom Mcdonald isn't an option. * Brayshaw getting so easily side stepped on the boundary line was too much for me. He is an inside player. So put him in the guts or not at all. Ball use was also horrific and turned it over at crucial times of the game. * Weideman should have been chosen over Brown initially. And should be chosen over him now. No special treatment. * Bedford in the wet weather will be handy. What Goodwin will do: In: Weideman, Harmes. Out: Fritsch, Jones * He'll play Tom Mcdonald back.
