    Coach Bevo needs a 6 game rest

    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...

    Coach The Chip on Bevo's Shoulder - Bevo - McCartney and 2016 Premiership

    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...

    List Mgmt. Mason Cox - Brian Lake 🤔

    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...

    Coach Is Easton Wood the next Western Bulldogs Coach

    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...

    Coach Assistant Coaches at Western Bulldogs .. James Hird and or Mark Thompson?

    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?

    List Mgmt. Jordon Sweet is a Keeper worth a contract Bevo

    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?

    Review 3rd Quarter fade outs

    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...

    Training Contested ball going backwards since Macca left

    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...

    Suckling holds the ball to long

    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...

    Opinion 14 Points a Game

    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.

    Strategy Two Tom's .. Boyd and Campbell in Dogs Fwd 50

    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...

    Strategy If Brett Montgomery is Coach it needs to be announced Wendnesday

    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...

    Opinion Minson - Essential or Not Essential?

    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 ...

    Opinion Singapore or Bali

    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...

    Injury Ryan Griffen - Should his season end and get his BACK problem sorted

    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...

    Strategy It's Will Minson's Centre Bounce hit outs that matter more than around the ground

    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...

    Opinion Do we need to change our match preparation for Late Sunday games

    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...

    Grant Weeks

    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...
