Training 2024 Pre-season training

[Foxman98]

Arty Jones been disappointing

 

[out of finals]

Any word on JOD?

 

[Mofra]

VDM still panics with the ball. Not sure about his chances

McNeill leap frogging him today?

 

[Planet Dogs]

Darcy will be a champion ruckman. He's a natural for the position.

 

[DognBones]

Keystone Cop defence by us.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Darcy ready to ruck in 14 months time if we lose English? Looking possible

lobb is more than capable second banana. 50/50 split would be fine.

 

[spinningmagnets]

The first of many high free kicks for Watson

 

[Planet Dogs]

Concerning that we are still allowing the opposition to score a run of goals.

 

[Dazb86]

McNeill leap frogging him today?

On this showing yeah. I know the coaches love his pace but he so often lets the team down with ball in hand from panicking while running towards goal

 

[CarnTheScray]

Concerning that we are still allowing the opposition to score a run of goals.

Don’t forget the Footscray wind factor. Though Gardner’s choices sometimes don’t help.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

I don’t want VDM or Gardner anywhere near the 1sts team. Not impressed at all

 

[Foxman98]

Considering who was out very happy with that performance,

Harmes/Coffield fantastic pick ups, Sanders is going to be massive for us and jeez Darcy is exciting

 

[Libbaaaa]

We just can't be relying on Gardner again this year.

Kudos to him but having that contract run through to 2026 is a killer.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Second game not televised?

 

[Ash1337]

Probably have to stick Darcy in defence to get him in the side.

 

[CarnTheScray]

I don’t want VDM or Gardner anywhere near the 1sts team. Not impressed at all

Feel like that has been the case for 2-3 seasons now? They have ability but their decision making isn’t up to AFL standard

First big test of our new 'tame Bevo' support structure is what happens when these two guys are fit. Normally they are straight in, regardless of form.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Nick Coffiled played well today he will be recruit of the year can see why saints fans wanted to keep him.

Pick 8 and we got him for peanuts, fingers crossed his body holds up. Very Impressive today.

 

[dardog]

Geez Darcy and Lobb will cause headaches for MC, Lobbs marking was great but Darcy was phenomenal today.

 

[DognBones]

Best: Libba, Sanders, Lobb, Darcy, Williams, West (for his tackling), Jones L, Naughton and McNeil
Need work: Vandermeer, Jones, Bramble
Not unless last man standing: Gardner

 

[bobs head soup]

Buku and Coffield are fighting for the same spot.

Not necessarily.

Reckon Coffield is agile and footy smart enough to play a Duryea style utility hard defensive role, where the height and marking is a bonus, whereas Buku is straight out 3rd tall/interceptor.

 

[doggies ftw]

Watching on a bit of a delay will go through the thread later, but heck me dead that goal to Ginnivan in the last quarter. This is the reason i want Gardner no where near the AFL side.

Easy probably uncontested chest mark opportunity, what’s he do? Paddles it into the corridor. the worst thing you could possibly do in that situation.

He’s probably the dumbest footballer I’ve ever seen genuinely hopeless smarts

Should have brought up Buss when JOD went down, praying it’s nothing - because this potato wouldn’t cut it at local level

 

[Mofra]

Buss playing the second game? Every chance to stamp himself as JOD's replacement (albeit raw) if the ankle isn't right for round 1
