Hey folks is something wrong with the AFL site? Says it's 3Q and scores are 32-26. Weird.
what i wouldn't give for a members night where the list committee consisting of richo, trout, ameet, pelchen, finnis and libba front up an answer questions on how that one managed to come to fruition.
just beggars belief that in the modern draft era we couldnt even net a GOP
Brian Taylor says there is 1 more goal left in this game. Think they've been 5 since he said that. Idiot.
Some ripping marks this game. Naughton is looking ready to explode. How many games did he play in the VFL to develop that?
I reckon that was the joke mate. well that's how I took it anywayHappy to be corrected, but afaik he hasn't played vfl yet.
Time to move on from Paddy , we have secured a good one in King.The worst part of Paddy's selection was you only had to look at his so called highlights reel to see he didn't have a single attribute that marked him as worthy of the number one pick.
Watch his championship and several games at U/18 level and it beggars belief he went at number one. As Leigh Matthews famously said about Jack Watts in his first year, "This kid has shown nothing that justifies his selection at number one. "
Unfortunately, that also applies to Paddy. All I can think of was they were seduced by him being a KPF. A big, slow, tubby, diabetic KPF who couldn't hit the side of a barn with a set shot. Trout, like herpes, is the gift that keeps taking.
I know its impossible to predict but is it just pure luck or smart recruiting. Billings v Bont and now
Naughton v Coffield..Naughton looks a beauty and Coffield is struggling in vfl
What about if he was drafted by Geelong? They get praised for being such great developers and always being able to uncover great new kids. Yet they do it completely differently to the Bulldogs.Do you think Coffield would be playing in the reserves if he was selected by the Dogs? Of course we don’t have a definitive answer but I think he’d be lining up in the ones.
The Dogs new recruits under Bevo traditionally have swagger & I don’t think it’s any coincidence.
Do they target players with extreme confidence? Bont, Naughton, Macrae, Smith, etc
Does Bevo develop them in a way that gives them confidence to be themselves & not scared to make a mistake?
On the other hand is our club running a military camp that was suited to footy teams in the 80s or have we evolved to deal with teenagers in the current era?!
Kids of this generation will rebel against authority. They are entitled. I suspect Bevo has nailed this very aspect hence getting more out of his new recruits.
Imagine being Naughton, a 19 year old, & Bevo tapping you on the shoulder saying you are our key post. Or Smith & Bevo slotting you straight in the guts.
Now imagine our coaching team saying to Coffield you will play for Sandy until you work on your defensive game & rotting away for the best part of two years.

Two talented kids.We have played guys in the seniors for extended periods and it hasn't worked like Dunstan and there is Steven who hardly played seniors for 2 years and look at him now. There is no right way. Its easy to say just play a player but you can bet that people on here will get sick of underperforming players especially if we are losing. Coffield form suggests the reserves is the right place for him. Its easy to pot a coach but im guessing he would be potted if he did play coffield for an extended period especially if the form is poor.

Or could it be that he's just not very good? Perhaps other clubs jut select better players with their picks. Carlton get players who look like guns form day one but some that are absolute lemons. Brisbane had a heap of GOPs then all of a sudden started nailing their picks. Same with Melbourne. Coffield is another rebound back in a huge pool of rebound backs, we also went and got Marsh, Wilkie and Hind who are all rebound backs who are now a long way in front of him. I would guess the club aren't backing him to make it. At least they are giving him a go in midfield now, probably his only chance. White and Rice are in a similar boat.
