    Game Day Bulldogs to D-word the Hawks (criminals welcome here)

    Hawks adjusted their game play 2nd quarter, going slow and around the boundary. Helps them defend our ball movement. Our only hope is to make this a chaos game, tell Darcy to play corridor and try and score on transition. Otherwise it's death by a thousand cuts.

    Gives Brody Mihocek vibes. Think there's no harm in picking up a 3rd tall particularly if Cody is no certainty to get back to the top level this year.

    List Mgmt. Next Generation Academy List

    We have a clear competitive advantage given how multi cultural the Western region is (greater pool). As a smaller club we should be allocating a significant portion of our soft cap towards the NGA program. Long overdue but great to see the club is now driving this agenda. Extending the ages as...

    I'm an ass man myself, but less Butts more trade talk. Would it be in our interest to bring the Curnow trade together in a move for Wilkie? Thinking something like: Sydney In - Curnow, Saints 2026 3rd Out - 2025 1st, 2026 1st, Oli Florent Dogs In - Wilkie, Carl 2025 3rd Out - 2025 1st...

    Perfect time for Port to trade him. Last time SA won the U18s carnival, they had a mini reset with 3 1st Rd picks (2018). Looks like they are likely to win this year, and now recent mock drafts have 5/ top 20 from SA. If they can turn Butters into 2-3 picks this year it will be a great result...

    Lipinski was traded for a 3rd, and all of these guys were drafted earlier than him so there is the potential tax. My thinking is if they continue to improve the cost of a 2nd rd is more than acceptable. Josh Ward in particular has been quite good this year.

    Its exciting to see the club put its hat in the ring for these big name targets and hopefully we can pull it off. As a contingency, if we don't land these bigger names there are a few prospects from the 21 draft that are out of contract that I'd be keen to target with ideally our 2nd rd pick...

    Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

    We shouldn't be holding Chris Grant accountable for this. Our CEO endorsed this approach. He gets an easy ride around here and Chris is left to carry the can when it was frankly Ameets mismanagement that left our football department significantly under resourced.

    Richmond and Hawthorn kept Dusty and Buddy despite their off-field indiscretions (not knowing exactly what JUH is up to, but i doubt its worse than what these two were up to). They realised the value in harnessing their talents rather than cutting and running. If we did trade him, it would...

    I don't get the three tall forwards doesn't work narrative, Sydney and Brisbane playing in a GF both have 3 tall forwards. They just have better systems in place to make it work in the big games.

    At 22, he is averaging the 3rd highest shots at goal per game just behind Cameron and Curnow. Rather than shipping him off, let's invest in the right coaching to get the best out of him.

    Picking up Dunkley is a key reason why Brisbane are playing in a 2nd Grand Final in a row after they gave up very little for him. In such a tight competition at the top, I hope Sam Power has learnt his lesson and drives a much harder bargain this time around. Bailey Smith is the difference...

    Jones was really poor in the EF. His limited disposal also worries me. Thankfully Buss is starting to look the part and would help with transition ball movement. On Libba, kind of sacrilegious to say but I feel like the end will come quicker for him given the artritional way he played the game...

    Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

    This year reinforced that the coaching set up around Bevo has been broken since 2021 GF. We have underinvested in assistant coaches (quality and quantity), and over burdened our head coach, adopting the messiah mentality. Look at the depth of coaches around Chris Scott and Sam Mitchell. Before...

    Preview Changes VS Hawks - Elimination Final @ MCG Friday 6th Sep 7:40pm

    They are both low impact players, but Artie is consistently a better pressure player. Also, his 21 goals in 19 compares more favourably to Laiths 9 goals in 23. Either way one of them should play not both, and I'd prefer we went with a more impactful sub.

    Geelong is a direct competitor. We should not entertain a situation where they drastically improve their list if they aren't meeting our asking price (hopefully 2 1sts is what Sam has in mind). Otherwise, more comfortable sending him to Richmond if he doesn't sign the 2 year deal. I think this...

    Preview Changes VS Hawks - Elimination Final @ MCG Friday 6th Sep 7:40pm

    Frankly I'd rather Arty as he generates more pressure. His 18 pressure acts in 60% game time are tied with Laiths 2nd best effort this season in a full game.

    Interesting it says we are not wanting to risk the trade asset, rather than him not putting his hand up. Maybe im too optimistic, but I'm not sure the risk is that high from a trade value perspective (1st and 2nd down to just a 1st?). We are in with a big shot to win the flag, we should be...

    Why wouldn't we consider playing Bailey Smith if he is medically cleared? In an open season, we are in with a chance to win the flag, adding him into the team (even as sub) is a significant upgrade to the wing and HF options. What is the trade cost if he does get injured again? Can't see it...

    No surprise as all 4 had similarly challenging upbringings. I like that the club is being comfortable drafting kids that aren't from privilege backgrounds, but we need to ensure we are investing in the right resources to get the best out of these kids moving forward. It's pretty damning that...

    Autopsy Toothless Bulldogs overcome Norf in a game not for the ages

    But I didn't say that. Calling a player lazy and uninterested regularly is typically attributed to indigenous players. Its a microagression. He wasn't, he dropped chest marks instead of leading out with his arms. That's the more appropriateconstructive criticism. He wasn't getting out marked...

    Autopsy Toothless Bulldogs overcome Norf in a game not for the ages

    The covert racism directed towards Jamarra on this forum is gross. Sure he was not his best today and he isn't the finished product but I don't think it justifies the vitriol on here from some posters.

    Review Dogs Comeback Win Against The Pies, You Beauty

    Great win! Interesting it looked like Bont didn't come off at all in the last quarter, which is in contrast to the Freo and Geel games earlier this year where he was off for more than 7 minutes. Prob cost us those games, so great planning to keep him out there when the game was there to be won.

    Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

    Agreed. It's not Bevo who shopped at the $2 shop for assistant coaches since 2021. Fundamentally we have been screwed by an inept CEO who lacks vision and foresight and shirks away from making tough decisions. He needs to go before the coach at this point. He has set us up to fail, like he did...

    Pretty simple, we should withdraw our offer to Tim and tell him we will consider matching offers he receives if it falls below Band 1 compensation. Would be a very bad list management call to turn down potentially top 6 pick for him at this stage.

    In 2022 I was a big advocate for moving on from Luke and last year I wrote him a eulogy. My energy has shifted this year, I believe the change we should be making is moving on from Ameet as CEO immediately. My preference would be bringing in Simon Lloyd who just left Geelong after being...

    Could Dan Mckenzie fill a need on a wing? Has been really unlucky with injury, but when he gets on the park seems to be a decent winger.
