olisik

For as long as I can remember MFC has struggled to find a dominant tall forward. We have had so many misses since Neitz days including

Watts, Dawes, Clark, Hogan, Weiderman, Cook, Molan and Dunn

Why is our strike rate with tall forwards who can mark and kick straight so poor compared to most other teams? 

I remember when people compared him to Pavlich 

Right now I would take a Jack Watts at FF any day of the week over Weiderman

He's always with us he's Picket when we win and Olisik when we lose. Jackson will only be a run of the mill ruckman made to look good by Gawn make him a CHF and leave him there.

His Chris Dawes mark 2 in the air right now. Cement hands, one of the reasons we lost today was the 4 to 15 contest marks by the 3rd quarter. To think his trying to hold us to random on his contract, either sign up or [censored] off I say.

Take 2 first rounders to the bank, we see time and time again teams picking up ruckman on the cheap, it’s about time we did it.

The [censored] returns.

First post since the season began. Fifth post since we were behind in the Grand Final.

Honestly, the worst thing about a loss is seeing people like olisik return. 

Congrats mate, you can count to 5. Well done :)

I agree with you. West Coast number 1 pick sounds nice.

Thanks Werribee. Agree pick 1 is exactly what we need right now. Midfield was putrid with sick Petracca and Oliver tagged. 

Way over rated right now, if we can get 2 first rounders we should run for the hills.

Use one on Mac Andrew and the other for our midfield depth. We fall off a cliff with Oliver and Petracca neutralised and need more talent in the guts. 

Am I the only one perplexed by Butters instead of Fritsch?

Wow, of 12 possible interstate team games (Geelong included), only 3 are at the MCG.

Also this “While the Bulldogs have six primetime matches in those first nine weeks, premier Melbourne has three”

Cant help but feel we got a really bad draw this year.

Lets hope we keep picks 37, 49 and 57 (or get picks with equivalent points) so that we have enough to match, if he slides into the low 20's.

I don’t get this point system as technically don’t we have an infinite amount of picks if our list allows us? Eg let’s say all teams pass in the 90s. That then gives us pick 91,92,93,94 and so on for points does if not? Or our round 8,9,10,11 picks

I'm optimistic there will be a bit of a gentleman's agreement in place and Mac Andrew will drift to this pick for us to take at 17 (19 after F/S bids).

If Andrew is gone before this pick though, my focus would be on one of Jacob Van Rooyen out of Claremont or Rhett Bazxo from Swan Districts. Both key position players who can play at either end of the ground. Van Rooyen probably more a forward then defender and Bazzo more defender then forward. With May, McDonald, B. Brown, Tomlinson and M. Brown or 28 or older at the start of next season, another good young key position player coming through would be ideal.

Would be a foolish move to take him at 19, if he lasts 1 more pick we could then take him with pick 37. 

5:10 we knew we would lose due to our accuracy eventually

Lever is sharp.We're gonna do it.

I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

Was I the only one who heard hodge say “we” when referring to what the Bulldogs needed to keep doing? Wtf

Bont looks like his ready to cry. Definitely was more invested in this then he led on

Which Virus?

Even if not the C-word it's irresponsible if our players are exposed to a bug. 

Was thinking the same, could impact our boys prep into the granny if it was passed on 

Word is Henderson out for Narkle

Trade vanders for a 2nd

Touched off the boot is a rule that can go also when kicking for goal. Always makes for painful score reviews. If it goes through just count it. 

This is looking very bruise free with very little contest work at the moment. Looks like 2 teams too scared of physical contact.

Crowd and commentators are quiet

Most likely start a thread about who we should be looking to trade 

Tmac out

Melksham in

So seems a lot of Crows fans are at the game judging by the boos every time Lever touches it.

 

Trust them to go to the match for some free hot chips

Tmac has been useless

Our defence is a shambles
