Yeah, because no one respects Selwood
Many many people HATE selwood for that ducking. And McLean is not Selwood. And whilst Selwood helped pioneer the technique, Mclean has taken it to another level.

Yeah, because no one respects Selwood
Unpopular Opinion time!
The problem with guys such as Dunkley, Honeychurch, Wallis and to a lesser extent Clay Smith is that they tease you as forwards. Sometimes they might kick 2 - 3 goals and it gives you hope but for the next 2-3 games they might not kick a goal. And the problem is that none of them (except for maybe Wallis which Is debatable) are IMO in the top 6 inside mids at the club (I have Bont, Macrae, Libba, Dahl, McLean and someone like Jong as the top 6) so really all of those guys are going to spend a very large chunk of game time up forward.
Personally I’m not a huge fan of picking too many of these types and would prefer playing specialist goal kickers in those roles (Dickson, Picken, Redpath, Dale) all of whom find the goal on a more regular basis.
Also get wood out of the forward line. Murphy, Boyd gone and JJ spending more time up the ground, I don’t like Wood forward.
During the TV coverage of the game in Moe they said the crowd was 2700I certainly agree that the non member admission cost was way to high however this was the very first JLT game with both teams presenting with strong line ups .
Be interesting to see what the Moe crowd size is like .
Hahhahahhahaha Dunkley and Clay tease us with 2-3 goals even now and then(Clay “teased” us with a few in the finals in 2016 but then you name f?cking Jong who hasn’t even teased us with that many goals EVER!!
Jesus I just don’t get it
Of course you don’t get it, because he wasn’t referring to Jong as a goal kicker. Take a breath before hitting reply for once

If u read what I said, at no stage did I mention Jong and the forward line.
Plz read again!
If Wood ends up making even a reasonable forward , I will swim fron Docklands to Williamstown !
He didn't really even necessarily promote Jong as such.No but you have concerns for players that apparently “tease”
They have both done 38374883884 more than Jong and others who have teased us(I’d argue more than Boyd also) and you throw his name out in the post as an option
Perhaps I have to explain extrapolation
I won’t continue I just find it p!ss funny you all use excuses for reasons some shouldn’t be on the team and then can’t see the opposite when they make excuses why players should be in. Guess if your the flavour of the month that doesn’t matter does it. Jong proved in half a game he is exactly the same with his turnovers but the lemmings will blame his knee for that.
Surprising they don’t use Clays knees as an excuse for him .... hmmmmm

I read it as "someone like Jong",as our 6th best midfielder,not really something to get so carried away about.
6th best mid isn't exactly high praise.
Wood could be there as a big body until Red returns from the jailhouse.
We need someone to crash packs and lock the ball back in - we did that pretty well yesterday — big improvement. Once Red is back Wood goes back.
Boyd can take a good grab - under 18 he was a lead and one grab superstar. But in AFL you are bumped the whole way on the lead and have very big boys crashing in. He has weight but needs strength and will be a KPF Star and second Ruck. Schache is the up the flanks marker we need. The best forward line is probably Adelaide (hate them but have to admit this) they have Jenkins as the big forward/ second Ruck (like Boyd but a bigger tank / like shack but bigger body), Tex is a traditional CHF good contented market - straightens side and brings presence (like Red but more mobile). Lunch is the running link man ( Closest potentially to Schache but quicker) and then a leaping McGovern and star in Eddy bets. They may use Fogerty and Harry Dear also as tall forwards also. Very tall but much more mobile. GWS is also big but closer in fit - Paton: Boyd, Cameron: Red, Lobb: Schache, Himmelberg:??
We could go;
Dickson -Boyd -Schache
Dunkley/Jong - Red -Picken. Issue may be the speed to lock the ball in.
We can throw thing around or we go more traditional
Crozier Trengrove Wood
Biggs Adams Naughton (early call up with Morris out or we protect him and go for Cordy).
JJ on the Wing. Really like Young but he is more a CHB than a lock down.
I wish he'd stop the milking too. But I would amend your statement to be "He will never get the respect for his ability until he stops RECEIVING head high free kicks."He will never get the respect for his ability until he stops trying to milk head high free kicks.
Fair enough,I can't understand people who proclaim they've added someone to their ignore list but then replying to the said people anyway,but I don't go on and on about it.Let’s not use Jong because I can’t stand the bloke as a footballer and it p!sses everyone else off
I just can’t understand why some blokes who have done more than others constantly get bagged for their deficiencies and that’s why they shouldn’t play but others(not only he who should not be named) don’t that clearly aren’t up to it and have as many and even more deficiencies
Without Clay we probably don’t win the flag in 2016 but every tribe he is struggling he is out the back door faster than Light speed.

Plenty to talk about from yesterday's game other than snaking into someone who mentioned Jong as a possible 6th best midfielder.
Sounds like some sort of obsession.
But it's Jong and he has to get irrationally angry about him
Lol,must be someone else's fault for your error.Actually you are in ignore so why can I see your message?
Must re do that so I don’t see you
Cheers
Lol,must be someone else's fault for your error.
Irrelevant but you still needed to comment again anyway?No I can actually see your messages and also the message saying I have you on ignore and that’s without clicking on show ignored messages
Even forgot I had you on ignore you are so irrelevant to me
Anyone beautiful day and dos has a win so enjoy your weekend
Maybe im crazy but shouldn’t we use the two blokes we got to play forward to ummmmmmmm play forward??
Boyd and Schache we bring as forwards and surprise surprise Trengrove plays there yesterday
Eastin Wood in the forward line is beyond stupid. It won’t work I’d rather play Honeychurch and he is absolutely sh!te
Maybe...
Basically everyone who plays for and coaches the Dogs is s*** and Jong is really, really s***.
Oh and you're right and everyone else who disagrees with you is wrong.
I just can't understand how Bevo got the job over you. Don't get it.
