  1. It's a development league remember. Winning is nice but not that important
  2. When you're undefeated in a reserves competition where you are developing skills I think it's not too much to ask to see a Plan B every now and then. Nice mark and goal by JVR
  3. Must say that possibility worries me.
  4. We have a deep aversion to the corridor at all levels it would seem
  5. Bedford and Tomlinson not playing VFL Which one for the sub?
  6. The Dog's no ruck in the seniors is an interesting gamble.Hope we can take advantage tonight JVR showing little but delivery has been the usual.. to the pack in the pocket about 30 metres out
  7. Casey continually hugging the boundary and being made to pay on the quick turnover
  8. Great goal by Chandler... picking himself for next week if he keeps it up
  9. Terrible example of AFL football. Thirty players around the ball
  10. Pity that the Hawks don't play any of the contenders in the remaining rounds unless you include the Dogs in round 23
  11. Should have been a walk in goal for JVR but delivery was not there
  12. Casey not impressing so far. Bulldogs much more fluid
  13. A twentieth team in China. Over a billion fans who have come to know and love Aussie Rules thanks to the visionary Kochie. Mind you the expansion to NZ and India is just over the horizon but then what about the team in Los Angeles
  14. 32 degrees,humid as hell and bright sunshine here in equatorial Asia. Kayo have blocked my VPN so I look forward to my occasional VFL fix on the dodgy stream. I have 500Mbs up and down so it isn't my end methinks. Not sure how much of the old Western Oval remains. It was always a bit of a concrete jungle. Wonder if they serve any notable culinary delights a la Port Melbourne with the Burra burger and the king sized dim sims. Enjoy your day OD
  15. Who can forget trying to listen to a game and as we would be attacking it's off to the fourth from Cranbourne. Listening to ABC coverage interstate had a similar issue
  16. Was quietly confident last week but not so this week. Bulldogs have a sub par defence. Hope we have a plan to exploit it. Weideman will be double teamed so not expecting much. Fritsch to kick 5 if he kicks straight. Bulldogs will try the tsunami style run and carry attack that Collingwood use so successfully against us. Need to stop easy exits from our forward 50. Last nights result did us no favours. Big game in the context of the season Would like to see Salem drifting forward from time to time.
  17. Wait.. there's more !!!!
  18. He is but a shadow of the Hogan we knew
  19. I'd be tempted to play Jackson forward and Weideman in the second ruck role. Just cannot see Weideman contributing up forward especially as the number 1 tall. Dogs play English in the ruck so Weideman might break even
  20. I see Mitch Hannan is listed at HBF on the Bulldogs selection sheet. Does he ever play down back
  21. The end of the ultimate dream team. Countless early draft picks. Players traded for more draft picks. Outside mids that dreams are made of. Why did they fail... was it just coaching or did their drafting and pursuit of a free flowing style of game not fit the close checking style of play that many teams adopted Wouldn't mind the younger Green at the right price
  22. Quite a few games for the top 7 to slip up on including our own. I'd expect three losses for the top 7 (hopefully we're not one of them) which could see the ladder taking shape. Wins by Richmond and Port are not impossible and they would be great for us
  23. Brayshaw renegotiated his contract on the back of his stellar post bye season of 2018. He would be paid very well.
  24. Different times Then...Less than 4 wins= 2 picks .... therefore a serious leg up Now not so much
  25. If the players want to make it work... yes For Jackson it's money.... we could easily accommodate two years on $650k.. but if you're offered 8 x$1.3M Brayshaw.... far more complicated... he fancies himself as a star midfielder... is he ???
