What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread

And we certainly lack the skill of Cunnington, Ziebell and Swallow.

Along with Caddy, Guthrie and Murdoch in depth.

I get that our knock is our ruck, but i'd have Minson/Campbell/Roughead ahead of Stanley/Smith @ Cats. Gotta love the fact Nat Edwards did the Hawks write up. Nobody knows a team like their biggest fan within AFL Media.

Wouldn't it be brilliant if Dunkley have the same career path as Joel Selwood

we'd fly up that list then
Still, I'd take some of the midfield depth of a few of the teams that are currently above us.

And win the flag in his first year? Yes please!

Sounds like a difficult act during love-making

Don't remember seeing anything about it when it was published, and stumbled across it now.

Surely we're better than #10. If there is anything that we can actually hang our hat on and got us into the finals, it was our midfield.

Champion Data rank our midfield as the 4th best behind Sydney (1), Fremantle (2) and Geelong (3). West Coast (5) and Hawthorn (6) are next in line.

CD are much better than AFL.crap.avoid.
Just remember that the author & it now appears editor of that media company have No Serious Idea about Football. Their articles are click bait only. Their goal is maximum audience (IT IS A MEDIA Company!) and just has a contract with the AFL to run the site & they pay the AFL for the rites.

If that includes a ruck, then we are going OK, because Ayce would have seriously skewed our stats.

Our rank went up 12 places after we delisted Ayce.

Well their strategy's working, it's started a wasted conversation

So Fox Footy are having club days where they show a whole day of great wins of each club. Except one...our club. Instead of giving us one they are giving West Coast two.

That'd surely just be a typo.

 

[the conch]

David king tipping we will choke this year...anyone got a summary of the full chat on sen?

There is a bit of a point, though... about how awesome our veteran players were last year .. Murphy, Boyd and Morris when he came back. Playing at their level can't go on forevever. Also we had a good run of non injuries such as Easton, Wallis, Picken, Dahl, Macrae.

That is again off set by the improvement from other players, it's no longer like we are relying on our veterans

That run with injuries is somewhat annulled by the fact we lost our best player to injury before the season even started.

Also the fact that if Koby and JJ weren't injured late we probably go deeper into the finals.

I'd argue that Wood, Stringer, Bont, Wallis and Dahl were just as impactful as the trio of old guys.

 

[FROGGR]

Adcock up forward to replace Crameri
Maybe play a bit down back depending on the situation

Genius recruiting. I love our team!

 

[flipper83]

I agree Jongs decision making is his biggest problem and an element of that is composure and spacial awareness which is hard to improve but he really only started playing as an on baller after he was drafted and early on for us he was playing in defence so he's coming from a long way back.
His finishing on goal was really improved this year and i think of he can get into space he's not too bad. His decision making in the clinches will improve the more our on ball division synchronize and with his explosiveness, clean hands and courage i think there's enough there for him to be a valuable contributer in a premiership push.

Yeah i remember the Brisbane game when they rested all three, we skipped
out to a forty odd point lead and controlled the game from the first bounce
to the final siren..... What do you mean we lost ?

One game, cool story bro

Absolute disgrace. How in the hell do GWS and Gold Coast get a day devoted to their best wins and we don't. Holy heck, they haven't had any 'great wins'. Do they have a complaints e-mail? Lets flood their inbox.

 

[GreatSouthWest]

I hope this is a joke. I haven't checked the programming guide but have flicked forward so as not to miss ours because it wasn't in alphabetical order.

Absolute bullshit if this is the case.

 

[Super Hans]

No one plays the victim better than our supporters. It would be a mistake, they accidentally put West Coast down twice. Calm your ****.

How does one live through the Essendon doping saga and still type that with a presumably straight face?

We definitely have the footy supporter version of small man syndrome.
