Half forward flank

No a discussion on my post would include why we talked him up as a wingman and answer to a pressing need, got rid of frost and are now playing him as a back.

It was a demand, not a discussion. Beyond that you know as well as I do he was coaxed away from GWS on a four year deal to play as a wingman. That was spruiked by all and sundry at the club in the off season.

Who knows. How can it be that with a ruck coach and a good relationship and advice from Gawn that a big strong ruckman and good midfielders not be in synch. They practice this stuff all the time. Who calls the plays. Did you see any form of communication between ruck and mids at critical times like in the third quarter LN

Harmes back on ball. Get petracca or Oliver forward for spells. Gary Lyon and others have picked it. Opposition worry with petracca forward.

You always rude ?

I would be happy with that. The handball points to Goody but also maybe to dominant players looking for easy touches. I have no inside knowlege but we play like a team with cliques within the team.

Anyone else questioning why we paid big dollars and long term contract for Tomlinson to play as a defender.

I will add Baker to my suggested ins. I cant follow how Goody tolerates so many mistakes from players in the team but so much is expected of players not getting a game as we saw with Weid. I am sure Goody would say Baker still needs to work on a few things. It is bizarre.

In Gawn Out Preuss In Brown Out TMac In Rivers Out Sparrow One of Spargo, Hannan or VB has to pay the price. In Maybe Bedford.

Typical Melb player I play AFL footy Typical Bulldog player I play for the Bulldogs I do not see team spirit when we are losing. Just a sort of bewildered look. it is more resignation than anger .

Viney Pressure exposed limits Oliver Liarising at times Brayshaw Lack of concentration Petracca Few easy kicks Fritta Gotta kick em Hibberd Tough day today Lever Starting to mark Mc Donald Time for Brown May Giving his all Wiedeman Needs support act Melksham Not a leader Spargo Not quite right Hannan Not quite right Pickett Needs Jackson, Bennell Salem Am not sold Lockhart Work in progress Harmes Wasting a player Langdon Faded a bit AVB Where is position

Some were critical of Preuss. At one centre bounce Brayshaw set up directly in front of Preuss, goal side. Presuu tapped it direcrtly to him. At the last minute a Bulldog mid simply stepped in front of Brayshaw and received the ball. Brayshaw had zero awareness of his player.

Absolutely. Commentators build him up so value is higher than ability or performances.

With you on Baker, He is a wingman with pace, Yes needs to develop but so to does most of the team. It is a bit like how the aussie Cricket team used to operate. Once you were in, you were in. It literally does not matter what some of our best players do or dont do. They will always be selected.

Its just a snapshot photo but at least the useless Richardson is looking at the players attitude to the loss.

I reckon its Viney, Petracca Oliver and Brayshaw call on ruck taps. Hardly Preuss fault we lost.

So true. I had us at 7-8 wins under Goodwin in shortened season. right on track.

So much of what Goody could do is some frank talking of things to never do again. Petracca if I ever see you handball over your head again you wont play next week. That would be a real learning.

They would be lining up for his job and his salary. The coaching industry is decimated.

We can disagree

Fiest bloke on the trade table for mine.

I am really over talk about forward pressure. What about forwards who get creative to win and dispose of the ball

Kozzie is a natural rover, Get him in the middle. as fast and better skills than Smith

I will stand corrected but I never see him penetrate the defence.

I must have missed salems contribution
