We have never developed any player into a star they always either come with their skills or they are spuds and we are unable to change them
It's a silly whinge, because no one recruits a spud in the hope that they can turn them into a star.
But anyway, Sandilands would fit the criteria.
And Taberner might in the future, along with any other rookies that have turned into good footballers.

So if Hawthorn win tomorrow, they will jump to third position and play Geelong. Sydney will play GWS as a NSW derby final. Adelaide will have the easy game playing North Melbourne, and West Coast will play Western Bulldogs at home.
If Hawthorn decided to lose to Collingwood - then Western Bulldogs woulld play Hawthorn and West Coast would play North Melbourne.

It won't matter what the Bullies do. Please let Pav win...

Unless Bulldogs could beat Fremantle by enough to increase their percentages above West Coasts - I think 12% in the last game would be unprecedented smashing?

The way you handle and treat a player and how you communicate a message to them is all part of development and with that said, we have developed Michael Walters nicely.
Many on this board have been critical of Ross holding back youngsters last year. It can certainly be argued they are as good as they are now because we did not play them before they were ready; those players include Blakely, Weller, Langdon and even though we rested him late in the season, it includes Alex Pearce.
Sometimes people are critical of the club for the sake of it.
We have developed plenty of players with very few failures in recent years.

If they beat you 250-50 then they go above us by .2 of a percent.
Ok. I think we are safe. Don't think Bulldogs will consider 12 goal wins each quarter to be possible. I certainly wouldn't want to sit through that. It would be a slap in the face for Pav.

Saints would have to beat Brisbane by even more to dislodge North Melbourne.
