Surely the dogs should have chased another ruck. Putting stock in Martin is risky. And they don’t seem to trust English.
Hunter is the one to shift I reckon.I think they were a bit hamstring with trade capital due to deciding to match the Sam Darcy bid.
But if Melbourne had lost the GF and done nothing to address glaring weaknesses, I’d be really disappointed.
Melbourne reacted to the 2018 Prelim smashing the right way - traded out a top player to get cover for an obvious weakness (Hogan for May). And again with Ben Brown at the end of 2020 giving up a second round pick gained by effectively trading out excess ruck backup (Preuss).
Obviously it worked, but even if it didn’t, at least you could see Melbourne were taking risks to try and improve.
The The Western IMO really needed to bite the bullet and see what they could get in exchange for a Dunkley or Hunter or similar. They saw that depth there really doesn’t matter when you’re weak elsewhere, and did nothing about it.
I've not seen a #1 pick with this much pressure on his shoulders since Scully, maybe Tom Boyd. I guess its their first time, but you'd think they'd tone it down a bit."I reckon in five years time we're going to be having a hard time working out who is our best mid, a bit like who was the best out of Voss, Black, Aka, Lappin, Ashcroft and Power as they all had different strengths."
North supporters are classic.
Reminds me of us when we had Morton, Scully, Toumpas, Trengove, Gysberts, Blease, Tapscott etc
Hunter is one of the ones who can play multiple positions.Hunter is the one to shift I reckon.
They'd view Dunkley as Libba's successor.

I'm sceptical he can play one position these daysHunter is one of the ones who can play multiple positions.
Yep true and he has lived up to the hype tooThe wraps on Walsh were ridiculous. 'Best player in the system for a decade' etc etc

Externally, yes, but from memory even Carlton supporters were a little reserved about him at the time given how many they'd had before.The wraps on Walsh were ridiculous. 'Best player in the system for a decade' etc etc
Thinking he has a Luke Hodge type of half back general potential written all over him.
The club rates his potential leadership abilities very highly internally, I know that

Looking for Dogs supporters to bite aren't ya ?
Exacting revenge for our GF lose won't happen on a BF forum. Unfortunately that will need to wait until September 2022. However most objective people if asked would prefer the Dogs list over Dees if given the option. I think even Dees supporters would prefer Bevo as coach over Goodwin. Those two things combined should have Dogs slapping around the Dees for the next few years to come.
I don’t understand this post. If he doesn’t like coming second, why would he do it three times in one season?So the Dees reckon they are fitter than last preseason, as they had already started training. Bont, Marra and a few others have started early as will.
What do we expect to see from Bont this year? Second in the Brownlow, runner up in a Grand Final, even runner up for goal of the year. I don’t think Bont likes coming second.
Imagine how much we would have won by if we had the dogs list, I'm thinking 200+!This thread has 186 pages, which deserves some nuclear level loony:

My thoughts exactlysecond for goal of the year, fu** you'd have to be a serious nuffy to include that.
On the other hand Max Gawn came first for coin tosses. What a champion.second for goal of the year, fu** you'd have to be a serious nuffy to include that.

When was the last time a team got pumped in a GF and came back the following year to win it all? If memory serves very few even manage to make the GF again or even contend.When Melbourne got spanked by 60 in the 2000 GF I remember thinking “Geez, we are miles off it.”.
Cleary I should’ve been thinking “Unparalleled success is imminent!!!!” if the The Western supporters are any guide.
