I don't agree. He is fine with the vast majority of the media.Watch a few of his media conferences - he addresses everyone by their first name in a way no other coach does.
He does answer every question asked. He does get frustrated when he is asked the same question again and again - as I...
Absolutely - we have a very good balance sheet - better than most.
Shaking the battling dogs tag is impossible, I don’t GAF.
I used to get smashed by my mates as a dogs supporter - that stopped many years ago when we became a very consistent and reasonably successful side and started regularly...
Dale has had a very poor start to the season - probably due to an interrupted pre season - he seems the type that needs to be 100% fit.
He deserved to be dropped, was made the sub instead. His form this week suggests in was the right decision to give him a bit of a reality check.
Back to his...
The most we were ahead in the 2021 granny was 19 points, not 30 something - at 12 minutes into the 3rd. Then 16 goals to 1........we hit a solid brick wall basically.6 goals in the second qtr, 2 goals for the other 3......
I think he is implying that perhaps all Australian selectors know a touch more about afl football than those on this forum?
Let’s not forget that Timmy had what appeared to be some significant concussion issues that compromised his pre season.
I reckon his confidence may be down - and related...
This is from Kane Cornes who says the dogs have a "soft draw"
We play these teams twice
Melbourne - top 4
Geelong - Top 4 - and of course we play them on their home ground and on a neutral ground
Giants - Top 4
Fremantle - Looking good early
Gold Coast - no pushover
This is an indication of...
Objection your honour - hearsay
Show me footage of him actually saying it - and I will believe it as fact.
It’s one of many big footy myths.

Suits the narrative of course.we played well against Geelong. They won. There was nothing to suggest that the dogs were going to be putrid against Essendon.
Perhaps the dogs were stuffed this week - certainly looked like it in the second half.
Bont was way off - clearly.
Not excusing anything...
He has more respect for the media than most coaches.Just because he called out a couple of media tools does not mean he has no respect for the rest.
All 18 coaches never see things that they do not want to talk about.

There are some real conflicting opinions on English. I had to laugh when I stumbled upon a bulldog podcast called the one eyed dog podcast. 5:12 in - “ English was our best , hurry up and sign this guy , he was simply outstanding” “he constantly gets first possession for us and feeds it to...
Are you looking at 1 match, or career?
Rhys and Tim are almost identical in CP v UP split (the split is more relevant than the total for obvious reasons), similar in goals per game and Tim about a mark per game better.English doesnt play down back.It the difference between useless and good 0.05...
Ah well...I disagree. Stanley has never been an overly physical player.Some on this board were implying that Stanley was brought in to physically intimidate English. I say they are both not physically imposing players.Stanley is quite mobile,can go forward and kick a goal in much the same way as...
Stanley was brought in because he was fit, not because English was playing.
Stanley has never been considered a strong physical type.He is a very similar player if you ask me.

Champ - I was questioning your statement that clubs bring in other ruckman when they play the dogs.doesn’t happen.

Sweet will play in the seconds all year for port.
I have (and never will) see a teams starting ruckman replaced with a magical strong physical type when they play the dogs.
English was good.Not the reason we lost.
Beveridge just likes playing the best ruckman on our list.

Cameron plays a totally different role against us - pushes right up the ground and uses his running power to push back.
It seems the fire still burns from the 16 prelim….he saves his best for the dogs.

Exactly - the goal or field umpire did not call for a review.The goal umpire clearly thought it was a point. A blurry single frame with flawed angle perspective was used as a basis to conclude that beyond reasonable doubt that it was a mark.
As Blackadder would say - “utter crap”
It didn’t...
You are assuming the camera is capturing the perfect angle.There is insufficient evidence as far as I am concerned. The review was intended for the howler - now it is about relying on millimetres with an imperfect camera.1 blurry frame is insufficient evidence, and should be considered as such...
Terrible decision - was falling over as he tried to hand pass to a player . How that was given deliberate is beyond me

Which strong ruckman is that? Do we have another ruckman on our list who is not 18 or Lobb or twiggy Darcy? You can play a player you don’t have.
