58er

Oh and his next contract He is ONE player that a FIVE (5) year term would not be stupid but Develop develop and develop please.

MB absolutely correct. We have a 45/50 goal player in our midst just waiting like a flower in spring to develop. When??? Next season if: he followsTrac around and gets more physical body strength and belief Which will improve his tackling marking and ability to run more. Straightens up his set shot kicking ( Its mainly in his head I reckon ) as his Technique appears sound. Maybe just maybe Fritta could go out and play with more enjoyment and not as if our whole forward line and team depend upon him ( which sometimes it does) IMO we need a coaching assistant clean out as no change appears on the horizon with Goody but next year must be Finals and almost Top4.

Another example of our lack of Developing a player. Hunt Fritta Kossie ANB Weid All have ability but need more education and development in forward Craft. Yes some forward play is instinctive and this is where natural players such as Trac and Fritta at times Make it look so easy! who is our Forward coach ??? Isnt it Chaplain a defender Need a Roughead type. Snd goalkicking coach Stafford a ruckman!!!

Nothing a 2 week break won't fix !!!

I think you will find that Harmes and Tommy were fit when offered the long contracts. It now looks like an error fir both at this stage.

That said about Harmes being better you have to Actually get the football And really James has not this season

Bulldogs had about 2,000 less members this year after making the 8 last year.!!!

Yes but Locky not Nev he is cooked and unfit !

How could Nev be fit enough or fast enough for this challenge ???

That's the folly of selection. One week we dissect a team like Saints and GWS within an inch of their life and have excellent results and look organised and committed to a plan Then it appears as though no planning has been done in at all and recognition of Swans Freo and Bombers different lists and smalls. PS Remember Daniels and Bombers smalls 18 mths ago on the MCG! Twenty (20) goals !!! Jetta was not the one to play it's Lockhart to mind Tippa.!!!

Well we have a 182 cm racehorse eho we don't play often enough!!! Locky!!!

Agree Dee absolutely need him Tomorrow to mind Tippa But won't be selected. Need his speed and courage and line breaking skills.

These emails are generic style Sisso and won't go into individual detail. Membership is a sole category and should not be confused with one off or other donations.

Not Fritsch we need to work him harder to another level Melky one to move on perhaps.

ThAts the wrong place to lead to also !

Locky should mind Tippa I didn't mention that in my comments in a post further in

Lockhart fir Jetta Hibbs for ANB Jacko for Hunt Seruously Jacko is good Below his knees and Fritsch is due a clinker so stays in. Is our leading goal kicker ! Should get job done hopefully by enough if GWS can beat Saints. Go Dees

Jetta not fit don't think Locky in Hibbo also keep Smith In for Forward line Two of ANB AVB or Hunt should be dropped and Smithy Still in ie IN Jackson Lockhart Hibberd OUT Nev (inj) Hunt And ANB (omitted)

That's not very convincing. what about Harmes ANB AvB Frost Angus etc etc going backwards !! Which has much to do with Our fir and depth!

Stupid have make Finals first!!!

EJ dont disagree with you at all and we would be in the 8 safe with one more win and win on Sat ie 10-7 not 9-8. But 3?points is so bliss with late opportunities I did feel that we were not really entitled to lead at half time as we hadn't played well. But I thought we may have improved after half time and gone away for say a 3 goal win. Prob Ssints have Flatlined in last 4/5 rounds so that win is nit surprising as they lack A graders they the Dees often lose because of. (Bont vs Bullies) I tHinkGWS was flat but have been fir a while now! Lets hope Freo and GWS are in top form this round!!! AND we salute by say 5/6 goals or more!!

Good point is that any turnover is likely to be at half forward Rather than between half back flank and wing and on the wing mostly. ( Apologies to Ed Langdon NOT on your watch ( wing) Ed we are generally forward like last few attacks vs GWS on Saturday night.) Prob Williams is better player as has mid field skills and goal potential also BUT will cost another $200,000 per annum I reckon to lure him to us.

Yes Spit Dee it's disappointing but it's still reality that we have a better chance than Dr D is giving us and we have no idea how a Finals campaign might go beyond a bit of wishing and hoping. BUT we did lose by 3,pts vs Lions and Cats so I can dream a little and have beaten Saints Pies and GWS! Short of flag Potential Yes but nit as short as many think despite your assertion we should be the most feared in yheCompetition. (Or did you mean The Tigers !!)

That's rubbish Hoges is quicker than 2020 Macca and you know it! Just say it that you don't want to revisit Jesses propensity to shoot himself in the foot OR his nearly but not quite performances in converting.

The reality is that in the last minute if both the Cats snd Lions games we had opportunities on the forward line and flummoxed BOTH. Geelong was the half hearted sling approach from Adam Tomlinson who with some cool heads up from say a Gawn Or Viney ( Jones was absent I think) could have seriously lined up that shot he got the distance easily and a point resulted. End of story. Just as bad was the amateur hour ( minute) from Hannan and Fritsch. At just between the diamond and 50 m line Hannan had possession and kicks to Fritsch leading into his wrong pocket ( a common fault) and the ball is marked just over the line by Fritta. Then follows the 50 m penalty fir a slow handover Of the ball. A long shot fir a winning goal based on Fritta season long 19.20 and some outs haunting us. BUT all along Hannan missed Viney on his own clear of an opponent about 30 m out in front of goal who could have Iced the goal and time fir us to win. So very Melbourne I can hear you say !! Yes we have won 3 close games also plus Suns in last minutes but actually in those crisis minutes we have been pretty strong in many ways to hold on to a lead under fierce pressure from Blues Saints and Giants. Notably May has been a hero really in a stellar breakout season in Those close wins where he had resisted a number of last quarter attacks and conceded more I 50's on the day and had equal or less In scoring shots. Oh what could have been and the fiasco of Cairns to add insult to the story which Zi believe we would have won one or either of those games especially at the Gabba ( without wind) or jagged one at Metricon as well.
