Bevo needs rest - give him 6 games off and let Rohan Smith coach the side, whatever Bevo is coaching isn't working and it's wasting a good list that deserves better
Bevo 2022 is a long way behind Bevo 2016 - and Sweet replacing English in the middle to give Bontempelli, Macrae, Treloar, Dunkley...
My take on the Coaching input that get the Dogs the 2016 Premiership
Bevo 75% - Tactics and Player Management
Macca 25% - Rebuild and Nurture
I'm sure Bevo wants a 100% Coached Premiership in his own right, but he isn't going the right way about it being a hothead at the moment
Perhaps the...
Sliding Doors - like Brian Lake moving to Hawthorn and winning 3 Premierships for the HAWKS in 2013,2014 and 2015
Could Mason Cox moving to Footscray/WesternBulldogs in 2022 do similar
Easton Wood has retired - Dogs have salary cap space - Mason Cox 211cm is uncontracted with Contracted - Dogs...
Hate to be brutal but I think if the Western Bulldogs don't win either the 2022 or 2023 Premiership with this talented list - he should go
Perhaps Easton Wood our ruthless Captain who won the 2016 Premiership and suffered this embarrassing 2021 loss and played with this group of players is the...
Bevo is an experienced established Premiership coach now - should James Hird and/or Bomber Thompson be considered in any of these vacant Assistant Coach positions at the Western Bulldogs?
I'm not convinced Ladhams or Ceglar are that much better than Sweet who I think has been starved of opportunity
How about employing Stefan Martin like GWS did with Mumford as a playing Ruck Coach?
Don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree, but do the Dogs 3rd Quarters seem like they drop off many times during the season.
Can't put my finger on why but I'll float a few possible reasons
* Inside Mids get tired having to try to shark opposition rucks hit out advantage over us
* Physical...
Love to get Macca back at the Club as an assistant coach
He couldn’t coach match day for crackers but he could coach players how to win their own ball
Bevo coached them to the Premiership but you could still see the work Macca had put in them with Contested Ball in 2016, it was last year it...
Great kick but to often waits for the tackle to come to him before kicking - by the time it arrives often down field options covered and shut down
Unlike Gilbee who has similar kicking skills, Suckling doesn't have the leg speed to break lines while carrying the pill
Too often in 2017 Dogs...
Baby steps first year
But I think 50 Goals should be a target for Tom Boyd in his first year at the Western Bulldogs which is almost 20 goals more than last years highest Stuart Crameri
30 Goals is too low for a bigger player, playing closer to goal even if they are young.
I like the concept they both play together
It will stretch height in opposition defence and if Luke Dahlhaus, Tory Dickson and Lachlan Hunter are as good as they think they are - aided by tall mid sized bulky forwards Stringer and Crameri they should push scoring conversion to elite AFL levels...
If Montgomery is going to get the job as Senior Coach he deserves at least 24 Hours of the Trade Period to shape his squad
My thoughts are by Wednesday - either the Western Bulldogs will have a compelling candidate they can announce like Brett Montgomery, Scott West or Leigh Tudor .... Or a...
Heard the post season exit interview with McCartney didn't go well
Will has problems in the Centre Bounce and he sees Tom Campbell ( although raw around the ground ) as a threat
A hit out around the ground or from a boundary throw in doesn't give a team the advantage a CENTRE BOUNCE does ...
Hawks have made headway taking games to Tasmania
Saints are testing New Zealand
I think Singapore or Bali which is where and a short 2-3 Hour Flight to many well paid ExPat Aussies in Asia work is an opportunity that an AFL Club will like.
The people who live in Melbourne can argue all they...
It's mid season and we are not playing for Finals
My opinion is if Ryan Griffen requires surgery and rehab, let's get it done now and hopefully have him ready for Pre Season 2015
He's our Captain and best player so money should be no issue, send him to the best Surgery and Rehab facility in...
If you haven't seen it Will Anderson Comedian and Member of the Dogs has a Series on the ABC called the Gruen Transfer which dissects Advertising and Marketing campaigns of Brands, Shops, Corporations, Politicians, etc , etc
It pulls apart what the advertising campaigns do right and what they...
I can understand the Brendan McCartney game plan
I can understand the Chris Grant game plan
I can understand the Simon Garlick game plan
I can understand the Rohan Smith game plan
I can understand the Chris Maple game plan
I can understand the Joel Corey game plan
I can understand the Ben Graham...
Bruise Free
Occasional Highlight
Fortnightly Article in "The Age"
Cruising Robbie weekly on Fox Footy
Cruising through our Game Day's with an occasional highlight when it suits him and mostly bruise and tackle free for the rest of the Match
I think Will is struggling in the Centre Bounce and it is having knock on consequences throughout the team
His Stats don't look so bad because around the ground his big bulky body compensates for it with hit outs in boundary and around the ground stoppages
Where it hurt was after getting...
2 big losses including poor starts from both our late Sunday games.
We play in that Sunday Arvo or Late Arvo "Roast" time spot a fair bit - I wonder if the timing schedule for our match preparation including training times is part of the issue and perhaps needs to be revised ?
If we are going...
I loved this game, so many younger players like "Linsanity" stood up to the plate
Now us fans can see how the "whole" team is Defence not just the last 6
Used to be a vibrant discussion forum but over the past couple of years moderators to zealous merging threads and stifling new threads moving in their own directions
People are hooking up on Twitter without the over cooked thread moderation
I suggest Moderators take a step back and let threads...
My view over 30's
keep Robbie Murphy ........... no one else
No More Nostalgia
Matthew Boyd -Daniel Giansiracusa - Dale Morris - Daniel Cross ... Nostalgia + Memories does not = performance or ongoing growth and victory
Future
Ryan Griffen = Captain ..
Time to make a stand
Adam...
Sorry just putting off the inevitable - sooner younger players come in and start learning these positions the better
All 3 played against North and had minimal impact and often coughed up possession
Time to move on
Launched today by the club
Interesting use of the name 'Greater Western Melbourne' in it, could some time in the future a GWS v GWM (us) match be played .. just being cheeky ;) sort of o_O...
Off the wall and surreal but I am wondering if this bloke who has topped the Bendigo goal kicking the past 3 years could like Tory Dickson be worth a late draft pick.
1 GRANT WEEKS, age 23
Club: Golden Square
Height: 189cm.
Weight: 98kg
WITHOUT a doubt, Weeks is the king of country football...
