Why even consider the future? Three wins, three good games from half back, those three wins giving us a top 4 buffer even as we lose games in the rest of the season. Dale could not play another minute in the entire season, and the three games he's already played already "made it" in helping us have wins already to the flag.Lol Dale has proven me wrong has he?

Dale's played three good games. If we win the flag this year, these three wins that he's had a part.This makes no sense so ok
McNeil doesnโt look up to it just yet.
Who does the rain help more? Iโm thinking Brisbane, as it hurts our handball happy style. Brisbane also have a LOT more dangerous small forwards than we do.

You're acting as there's some mythical future determination date about whether or not Dale will "make it" as a half back flanker, and if he eventually doesn't play half-back for seasons on end, it all doesn't matter. When in fact, three wins with him in the role has significantly increased our premiership chances. It's already happened.
It's dangerous to be overconfident. The weekend showed us that more than ever if a team is a bit off mentally, the opposition will pounce.We are going to beat the lions there midfield is not going with ours. Neale playing injured, Jarrod Berry even if he plays will underdone, Lyon and Zorko and others are ok but you stack them up against Bont, Macrae, Libba, Treloar, Dunkley and Bailey Smith and your got a Ferrari V a Toyota.
There is a surplus of forwards and he is not getting a game as a forward. And with Gardener going down for an extended period of time. It's a nothing to lose experiment. If it doesn't work nothing really lost, may have another KPD option if it does.Donโt mind the idea of trying Schache at CHB for his last year on the list. What is there to lose?
Look how well it turned out for Liam Jones who had very similar physical attributes to schache.
It isn't controversial it's a pretty well accepted fact amongst Dogs supporters, that we are one quality KPD from having a solid backline. There is hopes that L Young might come on and fill that breach but that is mostly just hope at this point. Cordy is a competitor but undersized to be the KPD that can make the difference.This will be a great game.
Despite you shafting WC recently, which I didn't care for, I enjoy watching the Bulldogs. They play great football. Bontempelli is a Rolls-Royce. Wonderful player.
On paper, how do you think this side compares to the team that won a flag in 2016? Deeper midfield? Better tall talent?
I don't mean to be provocative but I reckon there's still a bit of a question mark about the defensive cover particularly if other sides can move it quickly. Daniher and Hipwood will be an interesting litmus test.

After a 21 goal win, the only changes likely are those enforced by injury.Had 9 touches in each game
Each time the least nbr of touches by a bulldog
rd 1 went at 30% or so
if he gets another game Iโd walk out on the club if I was west or cavarra who donโt get the same opportunities but have put more runs in the board and earnt chances
Iโm not against trying Schache down back but Iโm sure the coaches would have thought about it by now. Iโd be pretty confident heโs already had a few match sims/training down there over his time with us. Granted is not the same as permanently training as a KPD. Much like Bruce suggestions in the off season, people canโt seriously think the coaches never at least thought about it.There is a surplus of forwards and he is not getting a game as a forward. And with Gardener going down for an extended period of time. It's a nothing to lose experiment. If it doesn't work nothing really lost, may have another KPD option if it does.
I feel like this team should be a better side because the talent seems more spread across the park. The midfield depth is obvious along with KFPs, but we didn't beat enough teams at the pointy end of the ladder last year to realise that. In 2016 when Redpath went down, we didn't have a recognised KFP, so we played small. But we also had Dickson and haven't really replaced him. We also had Picken, Morris, and Smith who were very hard at it warrior types. Only Libba seems to fit that category now.This will be a great game.

Could lose the game with a poor performance. If there's any experimentation to be done, I'd hope it was done in training and through the 2nds rather than playing for points against a top 4 side over the last 2 years. Not sure there's any evidence that Schache has played or trained in a defensive role.There is a surplus of forwards and he is not getting a game as a forward.

he is on his way and my money is on himLol Dale has proven me wrong has he?

On paper; much more talent with this squad. But 2016 had toughness and willingness in Morris, M Boyd, Picken, Dahlhaus(better than his is now), Clay Smith, Shane Biggs even Cordy was very tough. Add the Libba Bont and McCrae who are and were tough at the contest and you had one very tough team.This will be a great game.
