Prediction Michael Sellwood - our mastermind?

[doggie dog]

Sellwood with 7 tackles and 17 defensive half pressure acts on debut. Elite numbers for a half back.

For context, Luke Cleary’s career high tackles is 4, and he’s only had more than 2 tackles 3x in 23 games. Cleary averages 5 defensive half pressure acts per game.

Drafting is so critical for us doggies, but to pick up a tackling machine in the MSD, Sammy P is a legend.
Its a massive loss to be missing flea, but Sellwood is easing that pain.

Pretty awesome debut really!

I was looking through the official stats regarding this bloke and something leapt out at me -


WESTERN BULLDOGS HAVE NEVER LOST A MATCH MICHAEL SELLWOOD HAS PLAYED IN

this is not a coincidence.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Plays every game for me. Pump experience into him and give him a couple of years extension.

 

[BrisDog]

How solid is this bloke? Incredible.

Apologies for those whom I took the piss of prior to the season, you were right, he can seriously play.

He's still not a good kick but he's competitive and hates being beaten. About everything you'd want from a defender like him, very much in the Shaggy Hargraves mold.

I disagree. He is a very solid kick. Under all that pressure in the last he nailed the kicks in the last, a genuine mastermind.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Has Sellwood ever lost a game? Leads out VFL team to a Premiership in half a year and is going to do the same for the AFL team

 

[bobs head soup]

It feels like Sellwood, Budarick and Jaques have all come in and formed a tight little defensive unit within themselves. Footy smart and hard, what we needed.

 

[BigFloppa]

Our whole season depended on a 22-year-old MSD pick fixing our defense. Which seemed ****ing crazy to me before the season started. But so far the evidence says it has worked.

Natural heir to Chuck Norris’ mantle.
I heard he’s heading to the Middle East over the bye.

I think sellwood is a good kick, not a great kick. A few disposals in the Adelaide game came in too high and slow allowing a spoil, but apart from that I love his attitude and skill.

 

[JohnnySteel]

He is also a ripping intercept mark which we haven’t seen loads of. That’ll come out more with confidence at the level.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I disagree. He is a very solid kick. Under all that pressure in the last he nailed the kicks in the last, a genuine mastermind.

Yeah often had the kick in duties for Peel in the WAFL. He's a decent kick.

 

[bresker]

He agreed to do 'normal' kicks early so as not to outdo the Bont

 

[bobs head soup]

Now 14-0 as a Bulldog (Footscray/Western).

 

[dergert]

Still leaks too many goals. Otherwise has been solid
