I definitely haven’t missed the ads during footy season

 

[Testekill]

I missed all of the reports from the VFL match today, did we have any stand outs? We’re going to need to drop 4-5 from this squad, so I hope we have a few ready to go from the 2nds.

From what the Inside the Kennel podcast guy has said

Darcy, Scott, Baker, Busslinger, Jones, Poulter, Macrae

were his bests today.

 

[hutchy31]

It's like my golf, I have been slicing the ball for 60 years, Naughton and Ugle are slicers, and it is not easily fixed

Except my guess is you’re not paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to play golf.

That AFL footballers get away with this defect is ludicrous.

 

[Maverick Dog]

Darcy is better than English at the moment

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I agree. Sam is more competitive in the ruck than Tim. We are soft in the middle. Like to see Westy given more an apportioning on all.

 

[Doggies_13]

Same old isn’t it. Also English’s fantasy impact > than real life impact.

Around the ground English outstanding. In the ruck contests he just gives up front spot can’t fight his way there and gives up.

 

[ringa5]

Darcy is looking good for round 1
So too Clark and A Jones.

 

[fred cook]

Look, I’m not a fan of Bevo but blaming him for the set shot accuracy in a preseason game seems a bit extreme

The problem is where we are talking the shots

Darcy spanked him last week

 

[Doggies_13]

Just another stupid structural thing from the first half.

When lobb took forward stoppages in the ruck, English set up at 45m out next to frost not a kick behind the ball

What a surprise. We’re coming up on a decade of this and it’s getting old.

 

[Planet Dogs]

Very frustrating to see our woeful set shot performance.
The second half will be telling. I'm still confident we will come good.

 

[hutchy31]

The problem is where we are talking the shots

On CPH2305 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Sorry, I’m not sure that’s right. McNeil, JUH, Naughton all missed straight forward set shots. Couple of easy snaps as well.

Hawthorn are a team that understand the value of quality small forwards. We are not.
Sam Mitchell played alongside Luke Breust

, and has Breust, Watson and Ginnivan in his current side. This is a man who understands how much value this type of player brings.
Meanwhile Luke Beveridge is a coach who continues to play midfielders and small defenders up forward. It's always players like Vandermeer, McNeil, Scott, Garcia, Arthur Jones. Tried to make Ed Richards

train all pre-season as a forward. Then tried to make Buku Khamis a forward.

Beveridge is simply not a good coach.

 

[The Inbetweener]

The problem is where we are talking the shots

On CPH2305 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Really? The misses from Williams, Naughton and McNeil x 2 were regulation. Jamarra’s further out but was still in a good position.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Practice match or not. Anybody watching this game and not hearing the 5 alarm fire emanating from this side needs to give themselves an uppercut and wake the * up.

 

[MaxiBont]

Yeah, I really hope we don’t give Tim a big contract.

Treloar defending Watson at that contest

This is ludicrous

 

[dogwatch]

Hawthorn are a team that understand the value of quality small forwards. We are not.
Sam Mitchell played alongside Luke Breust, Cyril Rioli and Paul Puopolo, and has Breust, Watson and Ginnivan in his current side. This is a man who understands how much value this type of player brings.

Had Easton Wood train all pre-season as a forward. Then tried to make Buku Khamis a forward.

Beveridge is simply not a good coach.

How many years of Buku's career did we waste with him playing as a forward? Two?

 

[adogsfan5]

Bonts kick just then inside 50.

Why are two dogs players right next to each other? We just kicked it to four players right next to each other near the boundary.

 

[CarnTheScray]

We may never kick a goal again.

 

[ExRoyboy]

English is a really really poor ruckman at the contest. It’s amazing that he is an All Australian tbh. He constantly mis times his jump, he avoids contact, he plays a very soft style for a ruckman. I would definitely not be rushing to offer him a huge contract given our other options.
