Need structure down back with another tall so that Jones and Khamis aren't having to plug every single hole. We'll come up against sides like Port who play with 4 tall forwards so we need to bite the bullet and bring O'donnell in. Bailey Williams got a bit of the ball but I thought he was soft...

Judging by the pre-season photo he has bulked up in a major way, but if Lobb is fit I can't see him getting a game as a forward, and I don't think he's mobile enough for an AFL backman. In fact I could see Croft who is a super athlete getting a gig in the backline ahead of him. This would mean...

Ok so I admit I've been living in a bubble and did not realise this was sold out....🥺 Creating this thread for those that want to go and those that can't go but have reserved seats or tickets. I need one by the way....

Out: Bruce, Hannan, McComb In: Darcy, Treloar, Mclean Give Darcy a go. Can take Lobb and pinch hit as a ruck and forward too. Caleb very lucky as was woeful, but has the runs on the board. Cordy, although much maligned, wasn't the worst. Lost patience with Bruce. Obviously struggling. Is he...

I'll be there for the next two Thursdays. We need to be out in force to support Bevo and our team. Will you be there? If not why? I understand that this timeslot doesn't suit everyone, but we've been given these prime time slots and I worry that our sometimes complacent fans won't turn up...

I hate to say it but if you look at the recent history of bad GF losses, teams that get smashed don't make it the following year, and are at least 3 years away from scaling the heights again. Not that there can't be exceptions to the rule, and we may have had some excuses in the end. I'm not...

A tidal wave begs no forgiveness

The teams have been named and the stage is set. Time to channel your inner Bevo and let us know your three best tactics which will help the Dogs beat the Dees. Here's my three: 1. Isolate Cody Weightman as the deepest forward Cody plays like full-forward in a small man's body and has shown...

Can these guys kick a big enough score on the biggest stage of all to get us across the line? On their day, Weightman, Naughton, English are all true 3-goal forwards, with Schache and Hannan probably 2-goal prospects. Baz, well we know what he's been doing, and Treloar is in the mix because he...

Thought this would be a good thread to keep us entertained over the next two weeks considering the venue for the grand final. Here are some off the top of my head, not all of whom were great: Simon Beasley Andrew Purser Brad Wirra Aaron Naughton Daniel Bandy Timmy English Joel Hamling Allen...

Let's go boys!!! May the tidal wave roll on.

Get excited people!!! It's (almost) September and our team is playing finals again. Its going to be cold and wet down in Launceston and our captain is one of the best wet weather footballers going around. Bring it on!

The forward line is stacked tonight so Josh could at times be the FOURTH string forward. Would a below par game from him mean that his papers were stamped? Considering the forecast conditions tonight is he on a hiding to nothing anyway? I think we all just want to see some urgency...

Kermit seems to have the night off. Got no idea who pups are but just getting it going. 5. Keath 4. Daniel 3. Bontempelli 2. B.Smith 1. Macrae Mods Feel free to merge when the real thread comes along

As you are no doubt aware, the Bulldogs had the TOP 9 ball-winners on the ground on Friday night. This was a pretty amazing feat and I'm not sure if I've ever seen it before. The late trade failure for Dunkley and the surprise recruitment of Treloar (who incidentally was not one of the top 9)...

Out: Mcneill In: Wood This allows Dale to move to Wing or Fwd. Wallis gets another crack

https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/866283/member-exclusive-practice-match-live-stream-this-wednesday Might be hard to concentrate on work...

Hi, seems like Jong is in decent form and has been active in the forward line in the practice sessions. What do we think of him lining up as a defensive forward this year? - For me he has the speed, team-first work ethic and single-mindedness to play this position. - Also I feel he's never...

For those that really get stuck into individual whipping boys on here on a regular basis I'll advise you to watch Bevo's brief this week. It might change your thinking moving forward. While he doesn't reference any players in particular, I get the feeling there are a few in mind. I'd also like...

1. A speedy recovery for the Astro-Naught's knee 2. Lachie Young to add 10 kgs to his frame 3. Libba to get the hunger back

In the aftermath of the weekend's game I've been wondering what scars it might leave moving forward. The title of this thread is of course a dual one. We were beaten on the scoreboard and took a physical beating as well. The Demons capitulation to West Coast last year appears to have had a...

Post outlandish tactics here that definitely won't be used in-game....😋 Starting off with the Giants this week: 1. When a forward plays on Nick Haynes they are to stand directly behind him and repeat the words "Macrae's got out the back!" for the entire 120 minutes. Nick will eventually leave...

Ok, so not many Dogs supporters will be going to GMHBA, but if the game was at Marvel, would you boo Gary Ablett? Personally I'm not a booer, and the only two players I can't seem to ignore are Jeremy Cameron (for a reckless hit on JJ several years ago for which he did not receive a suspension)...

Could Josh do with a stint down back? There's no question in my mind that we need a second tall down there as any time Cordy got caught up the ground we looked vulnerable. Schache could no doubt learn some things by playing on some good forwards and also get some desperation into his game...

We have: 1.A very strong inside midfield and a potentially very tall midfield with Bont/Macrae/Dunkley all 190cm+. 2.A solid backline if Morris can stay fit, Naughton and Cordy progress and Wood regains 2015/16 form. 3.A wealth of flanker-types We don't have: 1.Burst speed from stoppages...

I got my raffle ticket book yesterday. 1st Place - a mercedes ute (tick) 2nd Place - a superbox at the footy (tick) 3rd Place - A 'coffee date' with Luke Beveridge?????? Seriously wtf? Who comes up with this stuff? It's really just embarrassing.

Surely we design and wear a Captain America-inspired strip? Chris Hemsworth will no doubt be on hand for our first game! Otherwise if Bulldogs players were superheroes what would their names be?: Ed Richards - Red Flash Tim English - Mr Stretch-O Dale Morris - Iron Bulldog Easton Wood -...

Richards - ok so there were some errors, but hey he wasn't alone. Showed some raw pace and good judgement in the air. Definite keeper. Naughton - lacks strength but has a real crack. Took a couple of grabs. Poor fella is being forced to play 1st or 2nd defender with Morris and Adams out...

Out: Webb Dale Jong Roughy (if injured) In: Wallis DIckson Redpath (Lipinski) The kids made mistakes but keep playing them. * mod edit - testing new bigfooty team logo function

Dale Morris going down has made me think about the players who are most important to the team this year, be it structurally, their role, or skillset. Personally I think we can cover Morris, even though he is an experienced veteran and a general in defence. Here is my top 5 in order: 1. Jason...
