My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
Both Maxy and Gus can improve a little but ALSO both are performing at a high standard of team footy and are inspirational the way they both commit for the team.

What they're saying down at Barkly Street
Both BAMF and QF are wrong ! Yes 3 headed monster ie Naughton English and Bruce still had reasonable goals out if their total and not one starred due to our pressure and individual brilliance of May Lever and don't forget Petty BUT don't underestimate their potential if more and better ball comes into the forward line. QB You are not including Petty's ability to contribute to our defence. Yes Lever must still go for his intercepts as should May and Petty. Last night Rivers held sway and Hibberd and Salem were serviceable and supportive without starring. Uts a team effort and the Dogs defence was very ordinary when we bought the Heat into the kitchen. Weid and Kossie had almost nights ANB Tmac and Fritta were excellent. On ballers got us 4 goals.So agsin our mix of all things forwards worked hard and well to support the defence and mids.

CHANGES: Rd 12 vs Brisbane
No no no That's almost robbing 2,Peters to pay ONE Paul. Stop gap ie Baker for Lingers or msybe ANB or bring in Bowey ( very big call) OR in lLockhart for defence and either Rivers or Salem to wing. ( not keen to disturb defence really ) but Lions are quick around the ground so need pace on the wing.

Let’s test optimal team structures against weaker sides over the next couple
First of all we don't need to invent situations Playing against any team in the AFL is fraught with danger and beating Cwood Suns or Bombers with ALL THE TALLS does not prove that will work against the Tigers or Dogs or Cats on the big stage of Finals in September in wet or dry conditions. I have no doubt that we could win with them all on some occasions but we will be far better balanced with 2 or 3 talls plus Jacko in the forward line. Form is always the best guide and whether it's BBB or Weid or Melky with the figures that Sam got today you can't carry two or three players who fail to contribute to the team. That's not to say Sam was not ok in his role but somewhere he isn't playing a complete game. His clangers in the last quarter following a brilliant third quarter show how flaky he can be. BBB also needs some real form consistently and Jacko could play wing but why upset Angus who is playing his most consistent form team and personal wise. He is now a strength with his defensive role smart intercepting and invaluable support to the half backs and half forwards. Players like Chandler Lockhart Baker and Sparrow all have cases for inclusion in our best team at times given form and injury and probably add far more flexibility than another tall unless that/those talls are in irresistible form and can't be left out. Agree the beauty of Jacko can play medium roles as his versitility and skill but he now enables Max to dominate the forward or back lines as needed. One day Jacko will grab his marks and this more talls won't even be discussion point. Let's hope it happens sooner rather than later. Also leave Tmac as our premium Tall KPF as he brings all other forwards into play and is our most reliable goal kicker in all conditions. Fritsch can be our third or fourth tall with Jacko in the picture also if we go that way. Depending upon circumstances but you have either forgotten Bayley or have a bias against a very highly skilled near A grader who always finds a way to contribute goals and more to the team and us almost impossible to match up for the opposition. No not the wisest move placing all the talls just as it isn't playing all the smalls. if it ain't broken don't try and fix it!

I can't help pinch myself with the results of: Tmac back from dead to best forward in KP and 2018 form agsin Nibbler gotten rid of bad skill errors and is a team player with high degree of intelligence most of the time Back from dead also Charlie super game again even on the backline looked like Caleb Daniel and is becoming consistent Predicted Tmac and Charlie before season so it's a nice surprise fit ANB to be producing on ball as Dr D wanted him.

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
May not be quite as solid on the bigger beasts as Tommo was but has more strings to his bow in skills. Either way a great duo to pick from.

POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs Western Bulldogs
The 15/11 scoring shots in first half is balanced out with 7/8 after half time. Not really an issue at this stage

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
Very good DrD but leave Jacko alone he is rucking about 50% and performing and we are getting Gawny both forward and back who influences the game as long as he doesn't drop the marks!

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
No you are not watching or seeing his team efforts They are in front of you on the screen or at matches Watch him do the 1% ers as well snd support for the backs and forwards.

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
Limited but important Angus was not limited He had many team acts although only 11 disposals. He is doing a great role for the team and supports the HBacks and H Forwards brilliantly. His disposal was good all night.

Good win?
Agree Goody has improved along with the team Hats off to him he is having a super season. No question there is a lot more brains in the preparation and in the box now. We look like a really professional serious contender who has a real idea of where we are at. That's in sharp contrast to some journos and experts who are slowly coming around about us.

Gee what rubbish Salem was listed as soreness but we don't really know the real meaning of that. Jacko did have a real hand injury and Ed let Sparrow on who I believe is concussed also.

Langdon Concussion
No it doesn't Tommy i s not a wingman NEVER was and NEVER WILL bE He played about 3/5 mins on the wing to get mobile then went forward in 2018. How any one thinks he is best in our team on the wing full time as against a KPF is not watching the game very well.
-
Langdon Concussion
That's robbing Peter to pay Paul 2 potential Losses there on both wings. 1. ANB to one and Angus to continue his team defensive play on the other. 2. If not then Baker gets a chance.agsin. 3. If we are very brave Rivers to Langers wing and Lockhart to mind the Lions smalls. DONT MOVE Angus he is going fine in his side of the oval.
-
Where will we play the Lions?
No I disagree It makes perfect logic if we can get a crowd to play at theG. Reduce to 40% we get 35,000 snd make some money and transfer Hawthorn game later in year to Alice. Not Adelaide Game.

Membership 2021
I cannot understand the complaints with the Membership Dept who I have had nothing but service and efficiency for years well before Covid. Never been majorly delayed even during finals time. You don't have to join up year after year as you can go on a rolling list automatically renewing at the end of the season in Oct/start Nov. Having said this there does seem to be a problem with Junior memberships administration from some of the posts. But really if you have 3 memberships snd you get the digital tickets each time just present from your phone and sort out at the end of the season!! The kids don't need to know as long as they get entry to the ground!
