**** Greene is such a shit campaigner of a bloke.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Ward ducked right into the arm of Lobb into the face lol

 

[Mr Meow]

Think we're fairly happy with Hewett but good for Kennedy playing well with a fresh start

Hewett isn't a mid/forward.

Kennedy has 7 goals in his last 5 games, 7 goal assists overall and is going at about 6 score involvements per game.

Classic win/win trade.
Much like Macrae to the Saints.

 

[blinkd]

Just tuning in, how’s Busslinger debut?

Hewett isn't a mid/forward.

Kennedy has 7 goals in his last 5 games, 7 goal assists overall and is going at about 6 score involvements per game.

And Hewett is having a career best year playing more on ball minutes and kicking more goals than previously from the midfield.

A win win trade for the Dogs and the Blues.

Great clubman. Great to see him playing well.

Macrae out, Kennedy in was a great move by Footscray. They brought someone in who could add genuine scoreboard impact as a mid/forward. Something Macrae couldn't do. They already have much higher end versions of Macrae as full time midfielders.

Classic case of win win

Nervous early but done okay for his first run.

 

[Coolangatta]

Dogs and Hawks were the most in form teams leading up to finals last year. Was surprised the experts didn’t have them in the top 3-5 flag favourites.

I can understand the Giants because last year they had both grand finalists on toast but dropping leads like that must have rang alarm bells. They haven’t been impressive at all this season apart from round “0.”

 

[Mofra]

Just tuning in, how’s Busslinger debut?

Looks like he's already played 30-40 games. For a KPD debutant, can't ask anything more. He's not scared of getting involved in the play after the first contest either.

He's not a mid/forward. Kennedy is - 14 goals/assists so far. Carlton are being forced to move Cripps forward, when he is the competition's best stoppage midfielder.

Mid/forwards are incredibly valuable. Geelong have one in Mannagh. Carlton would love to add a Kennedy or Mannagh type player to their team.

 

[RWnBluey]

Freijah created that contact, but then again archer got 3 weeks when the dogs player created the contact too

lol only a salty turnip would draw comparisons between the Freijah and Archer incidents

We needed someone more defensive but who could also play HF.

Macrae is an outstanding ball-hunter but that wasn't the role we could put him into now. Riley Sanders had 31 touches and 2 goals last week, we needed to give him the opportunity too.

Is it the broadcast quality or are the lights at the ground dimming/fading a bit??

I'm going dimming.

I saw that. Didn't the crowd make a noise too?

Stringer has to be the worst recruit of the year. Just awful.

Cripps has been playing forward because Mckay and Curnow have either been out of the side or underdone and Kemp went down injured too who was our other marking option. Elijah Hollands would be playing Kennedy's role but he was also out for... reasons... We've already lived through life with Kennedy on the list and unfortunately it just wasn't a great fit despite being a very good player in his own right. Just like GAJ, Selwood, Danger didn't work out as well as you'd think on paper when Gaz returned home from Gold Coast, sometimes you have too many of the same type.

 

[TruRoo]

Caleb Daniel tops him.

Stringer cost much less

 

[windyhill]

No Marra, no Darcy, no treloar, holy ****....

 

[Rod Stroker]

Questions need to be asked of the Giants. Have arguably the best list in the comp, and have failed badly 2 weeks in a row. Looking like another year of lost opportunity.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Daniel at least gets the ball and looks like he's trying.

Stringer coasting around in 2nd gear getting like 6 touches a game is straight up taking the piss.

 

[RCAB]

If be surprised if GWS kick another goal for the quarter, unless it's 5 mins to go and the Dogs stop trying.
