Dockett 32

Tomlinson a pretty good effort. Generally more than reliable when asked to play a role down back. The Bulldogs tall forward line looked dangerous on paper pre game.

Agree DC . Cozzy didn’t kill anyone , apologised immediately,no injury sustained at all. It was silly for sure ,but some on here want the death penalty or link to concussion matters. A week tops

I hope we are trying to find a big strong, brave, strong marking CHF like say J Brown , Carey or N. Riewoldt. Jefferson doesn’t strike me as that type at all.

Well we will be able to get a good look at for 12 months and then decide. We now know, people of that vintage with high credentials ( once in a generation player, rising star even) are worth two first rounders and a second .

Until they make it 4 year minimum contract and address this business of some prospective draftees advising clubs they won’t leave their states, it’s a scam for the top clubs. Hawthorn and Geelong have made it their speciality. St.Kilda will grab King next year.

I think a few on here have tended to forget how good our list is already, if completely fit. Throw in Grundy AA , JVR , and maybe Howes for next season , pus our draft picks on top of that and it seems we are chugging along ok. Just like us to get on the front foot with Kozzie and his management for an early recommitment decision. Recurrence of the fingernail biting all year and subsequent recent Fremantle trade to be avoided next season. Why not time bound decision? If nothing by say QB ,past precedent probably suggests departure imminent. If so we could really gather a few first rounders for 2023 to shake the trading season up a bit and ensure a long term succession plan.

Pinch hitter with presumably salary benefits if it’s a Tomlinson swap. Giant no deal if there is a salary impost back to Bulldogs.

Taranto 3 yo , no rising star , smaller pay packet. Not comparable at all.

Reckon you’re correct. 4 year min perhaps.

Might need to keep the adoption of all children in Australia and the relevant numbers , for another day. l reckon there could be another polarising issue at hand on that one. Same too, of the Queen personally signing an Australian Act of Parliament in lieu of the normal Governor General precedent. Suffice to say, l would personally hope and like to believe that she would have done so in this instance maybe symbolically and with the best of intentions . Also once approved by Parliament, legislation is normally / never knocked back or retracted as far as l know.

Not really into virtue signalling. The Queen wasn’t born when the colonisation took place. l thought the Queen was decent individual who pretty much dedicated her life to service and her role. But l understand your point of view.

I like Daisy, but l’m disappointed she chose to become a political spokesperson.

Bit more to it than that. We need to clearly define trading requirements on our young players. Kosi could be next.

Very apt nom de plume.

Not too many 21 yo with a C/V like Jackson. Cameron/ Kelly no premierships !

Oh please. That is massive unders. I would consider that being totally screwed. Just look at the C/V we have created for him and then precedents of Cameron and Kelly. If we get rogered like that Taylor’s negotiating skills are zero.

How about reviewing the individual stats for the last half of the past two games. Let’s see what that brings, who was absent etc.

Relax . What will he get paid at Freo? Rising Star winner, Premiership player, very young , a player we we were looking to build our team around and you suggest he has limited trade value ? I don’t think so. This bloke arguably has the greatest currency value ever afforded in the competition. Refer Kelly, Cameron.

Bowie and Bedford for starters

Two classy half backs, one classy winger, two quick classy forwards ( one big) . Forget Grundy. Second week in a row too many players well beaten. There are 7 C graders in that side.

Yep. Full blame surely must rest with selection committee. Going with the same team after being comprehensively bested the week before was flawed.

Ben Brown’s efforts for the past two weeks of notice.

Bedford Dunstan McDonald Bowie in ANB, Spargo, Harmes ANB Salem out

Our forwards take no ownership.

Leadership? Oliver ok the rest? The bit about doing it for the supporters seems to have been lost somewhere. Shocking let down for so many.
