Probably had to happen but will be missed. JJ was absolute peak 2015-16 and contributed to the two most enjoyable years of footy I remember, absolutely excited to go to every game I could with us playing a very exciting style and highly competitive against all teams.
That burst of speed from...
I think Boyd might hold some resentment to how he was treated in 2017. Parked in the VFL all season even when still delivering a solid performance every week. Clearly still near his best.
Came back for the final game as was near best for us. Murphy got the dream run by the coach all year...
We should love that he's underrated and slid in the draft. Wont be long before the media start talking about how he will nicely fill a gap at Geelong or Pies and should be traded for nothing.
Got it, sorry I haven't explained clearly. No doubt it failed as they got pumped.
My point is - we do not employ a tag ever. Maybe we should see that there can be benefit if you target a specific player, like Bailey Smith last week. We are a bit nice and didn't want to hurt his feelings...
If the strategy is to restrict Bont it did. Doesn't help when there isn't much support from the rest of their team. Would tagging Newcombe last week have helped our result, or Smith the week before?
Melbourne trying to shut down Daicos also was semi effective. Players tagged usually hate...
We could learn a thing or two from the way they played Bont. Really shut him down compared to normal output. He still had a impact at times but players of his level always will but it was nowhere near what he would have if just let to run his normal game.
Tagging does work and should be...
McNeil has been a big improver and I generally think he is ok-good most weeks. Tries hard and is tough. His goalkicking is disappointing and is the biggest issue in his game. Two of those should have gone through, plus he panicked and passed later on when he should have been taking the shot...
No idea how he slipped through so far in the draft. What a great start to this year and building on last. Doesn't waste the ball and plenty of mongrel. Looking forward to seeing him get better and better.
I die a little at a time each time I say "Western Bulldogs".
I've said it here before, football clubs are built on heritage and it's something to be proud of. Being from a working class background and a struggling club was something the marketing flogs felt was a little too low brow, and...
Nah, they should be prepping the excuses for going out in two straight for this finals series rather than finding excuses for past failure. Weakest top team in years.
GWS will wipe them in the coming game. Wont be able to blame the umps for that, the AFL love them both equally.
If we managed to win it from here it will just highlight how average the comp has been this year with no standout team.
Poor planning with no changes for this week. You need to look at the matchups and make changes where necessary, even after an easy win where the whole team played well...
We aren't looking like dropping the rest of our games and missing top 4 at this stage but you never know.
This apology reads like a hostage statement.
He's got a lot of mistakes to atone. Win the flag this year and I'm back on board, unless he grows that stupid moustache again and starts...
Coaches are really killing it at the moment. All their changes have worked perfectly.
Injuries are minimal and we are playing with confidence.
It's probably Lobb and Richards being the key changes here. Buku can now support without getting a mismatch.
English had been solid after a...
Free kick count didn't go out way but it is also where you get them that counts. Think the Swans should put in a call to the AFL for some clarification and apology Monday.
Injuries to their key guys probably contributed too.
Or maybe they are the weakest would-be minor premier since I...
