Clean out required. We have exceeded critical mass of blokes who can't get on the park with any regularity. This causes - wasted cap space that could be used on other guns - take up list spots that could be used on talented kids - inability to plan selection and develop game style with any...

Physical Preparation Bevo quote at end of last year about what to do to improve in 2018 “We’re going to get fitter and stronger.” After finishing out of finals, we return to training in Mid-November. With season starting end of March, this gives us 14 weeks of pre-season. With 38 players fully...

Every week we run out against team’s that are physically taller and heavier than us. Someone posts the stats most weeks, and it is pretty consistent. We give up on average 1 inch and 2 kg’s per player, which across the ground adds up and up. Bevo alluded to this in his press conference – we...

Who Is Best At What Interested in people’s opinions. Also add other categories if you want. Only rule is that you can only have a winner and a runner up. Tackling Best: Clay Smith – animal. Some players tackle to hurt, he tackles to kill. Wins this award purely for his tackle on Joel Selwood...

Just give him a *en lars! What's the point of rehabbing for 9 months if it could go at any time anyway? If Libba had done LARS in Feb he'd be back in time for our first finals tilt in 5 years, instead he'll be watching on.

A. No it was just luck B. Yes he gave the ball extra height and forwards rotation of 2.5 rev/s to precisely bounce over his head C. Melb player could've stopped it but was too worried about Bontempelli dispossessing him once, dispossessing him again, spinning out of three tackles, an extra 360...

Ok, this is a long OP, but hopefully worth it. So get a cup of tea and some digestive biscuits, make sure you’re warm and comfortable, and here goes: We all know we’ve been getting swamped in games by the opposition, even in our wins we’ve had these periods. It has happened so regularly that it...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-06-14/the-kicking-kings Interesting article. Rates kicking efficiency based on a 'degree of difficulty' for each kick. So poky little chips around the backline don't count for much. And really hurt when you kick straight to the other team (Goodes, Lower, Minson...

Betfair are offering 24-1 on the dogs making the 8 next year. Is this a good bet? Personally I think that's way over the odds and worth a nibble. West Coast would've been at similar odds the year they shot back up, it happens quite often. I'd probably have us a 10-1 chance to make finals. So...

Just finished selling all my tickets! Took me about twenty minutes but I nearly completely forgot about it, and it closes this week. So I thought a new thread would be ok to remind others to do the same! Not bragging. Just want the club to have more money. Is anyone going in the raffle to...

Why they REALLY suck. ***Nerd Alert*** After watching the Brisbane Lions legs turn to mush after quarter time, and Carlton strolling all over them, I got to thinking about the AFLs insistence on scheduling us to playing on a Sunday. It basically means that all season we are at a constant...

Brendan McCartney has mentioned playing a ‘Total Footy’ style of game. In soccer, this referred to players playing any position and being able to inter-mix on the field. This allows complete flexibility and provides greater attacking options and a strong focus on team defence. So, can we...

For your reading pleasure, bulldogs education, and much anticipated feedback: Boyd – 7/10 led from the front again. Clearance work and tackling were great. He’s not the best user, but gee if we had 7 Boyds in the midfield, we wouldn’t lose many games. Cross – 6/10 pretty good Daniel...

Currently our father-son recruiting strategy is to canvass all eligible young footy players, identify the good ones, then get them 'in the fold' early, training them up and helping them out with nutrition, fitness, and skills. Then we draft them, and within one year every other kid who is...

Hehe, trying (unsuccessfully so far) to convince Mrs Livermore that this is a sign from the bulldogs god concerning how we should spend the rest of our evening.

What do people think? 3 fast, athletic 192 - 196 cm blokes running around in the same forward line. Would it work? Positives: - Almost impossible to match up all three of them - Multiple tall targets without losing chasing power (if we can convince them to chase) - With forwards having to...

By the end of the next round of football, there will have been about 30 games of footy broadcast on free to air. So on about 60 occasions teams have been on free to air in Melbourne. You'd think that would work out to about 4 times each for the Melbourne sides, and about 3 times each for the...

Okey doke, I used to be an occasional poster here, but haven’t been on for 6 months cos I moved to the bush and all I could get was dial-up. Besides the initial thrill of hearing the ‘dok dok dok kkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrr bading bading bading’ and the sounds bringing on a pavlovian erection from all...

Seriously, I have never seen a hair colour like it.

I think the July page of my calendar is wrong. Daniel Giansiracusa is having a kick on the run, and he is dropping the ball with his LEFT HAND, while preparing to kick with his RIGHT LEG. Under no pressure. Surely this can't be right, he is one of our most skilled players, and that is the first...

"When pushed by the MC about who his favourite current-day player is, Charlie replied that it was not about that - it was about the team. Every footy club needs a Charlie Sutton." http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/club-is-more-powerful-than-any-individual-20100602-wzsi.html Mainly talks...

I felt sick after the loss on Friday night, couldn't sleep for ages. Other doggies fans who I've spoken to have been livid, rarely felt more pissed off after a home and away loss. This board has erupted, plenty of criticism heaped on the players and coach. But the fact is we played way worse...

Which 'fringe' players played well enough tonight to get themselves a spot in the Rd 1 team? Personally I thought Brodie Moles and Andrejs Everitt were excellent and did enough tonight to get themselves a spot, especially with Johnno and Hahn likely to be out. Addison did well, and will be...

I believe, on a football field, to perform an act of courage a decision must be made. A decision that is between putting yourself deliberately in harms way for the good of the team, as against preserving your own health, because, lets face it, there’s life off the football field. And...

Which ones do we keep, which ones do we delist, and why? For me (alphabetically): Akermanis - delist. This is probably the hardest choice, but I think unless he takes a massive paycut, he's not worth it. Great kick, but struggled to get his hands on the footy in the second half of the year. If...

Just wondering what people's thoughts on Everitts game tonight. I thought it was his best game ever in the red, white and blue. I know he did some exciting things at the end of 2007, but tonight he played well in a big, high stakes game, and with a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Some of...

Ok, ignoring for a sec that we played shithouse for the majority of yesterday and didn't deserve to win, we actually found ourselves 1 point up with 3 minutes to play, so... After Akers goal, why the ****ity ****in **** did all our mids run forward of the tap again instead of getting defensive...

I was thinking if people also wanted to review products we could get a good idea of what’s worth buying or not. Also if people have received/bought anything extra cool or weird it would be interesting to hear about. Every time I get a present all my cop out family or friends (not that I'm...
