  1. Happy for Marty Hore. Not many players get a second chance, especially not at the same club and especially not when they were a mature age player the first time. I hope he does well and can cement a spot in the team
  2. Interestingly no Jack Macrae for the Bulldogs. Is he injured or just not selected?
  3. The music after each goal is so stupid
  4. A few thoughts on last night and some mitigating factors: - Oliver looked extremely tired at the end of the game and pretty rusty throughout. He will be better for the hit out. I wonder if he would have been played if Gus was available…I doubt it but they probably thought they needed him for his big body and experience. - Whilst Spargo has copped a lot of criticism last night he has runs on the board in my opinion and should be picked next week. He didn’t get enough of the ball but was burnt on several occasions when he was in space. One was by our captain when he had a paddock in front of him. Max decided to not give the handball which he should have…sometimes Max holds up the play after a mark too much in my opinion. - I don’t see it with Laurie. He is not quick, not an extractor, not an accumulator and doesn’t seem overly skilled. Has a lot to prove to stay in or get back in the team. Billing’s should have been played ahead of him and I hope he is next week. Maybe Laurie out and Tholstrup in is a good move? - Petracca didn’t have a great game but I felt like he was struggling with balance between the forward line and the midfield. I wonder if throwing Clarry forward in the last quarter and Trac into the middle might have been worth a try. - Max didn’t have his best night but wasn’t smashed as some have suggested. I think we will be better for next week, especially with Pickett back in the team.
  5. Back to Caleb Windsor, I know that it’s only hilights of an intra club hit out but, he looks very exciting. He appears to be exactly what we have been lacking for a long time. An outside, quick, pure skilled link player who can also hit the scoreboard. I am as excited as I have been about a draftee for a long time!
  6. At first I thought that he would get off but thinking more about it over the last few days I believe he will get 3-4 weeks. Your points above are correct. it cannot be allowed to be approved as a football act. The ramifications of that would be disastrous
  7. Agreed. All I’m saying is those on here essentially saying we suck and won’t win against Carlton should calm down. We nearly beat Collingwood which was a 50/50 game in my opinion
  8. Langdon had a bad game but the narrative that he is a concern is I overblown emotional hysterics. He has been a star for us since he came to the club…I’m positive he will bounce back. Reading this thread and others at the moment, you could be mistaken for thinking that we got completely outplayed and thrashed by the bottom side. We nearly beat the team that finished top. If we kicked a bit straighter we would have. Some people need to get some perspective
  9. Yeah, it was horrible to watch Moore burn TMac for speed and mobility time and time again last night. If we can find one, I agree, let’s go get one
  10. I think we have one in JVR. Our mids just need to learn how to deliver the ball to his advantage
  11. I think those wishing ACL injuries to opposition players are the ones being hysterical
  12. Yeah I don’t like either of them as players but I don’t wish them to do career threatening injuries…I guess we are all different though. Agree that Gawn dominated Cox. He played a great game.
