Is it just me or does everyone turn into emotional pygmies after a loss.

Depends how we lose

Is it just me or does everyone turn into emotional pygmies after a loss.

If we get smashed & show lack of effort, yes.

That wasn't the case last night though.

My wish list is Leek Aleer and Butters (if not this year, then next year). Bont hopefully comes to us, free of any picks.
DeGoey might just be being cautious and isn't quite fit yet. He is a big game player and that can be priceless at finals. Unless we can replace him with another big game player, it's worth persisting with his up down form during the home & away season. The time has passed to get a good pick for him so maybe use him sparingly to preserve his body for finals.

Going to to potentially open a can of worms, but here I am.
Jordan De Goey.
We're always waiting for him to hit his high potential and break a game apart. He's played nearly 180 games, he's had his chances in my uneducated opinion. He lacks consistency.
I feel he would be worth trading out, whether a highish pick or a decent player.
Patrick Lipinksi.
Under paced, very vanilla footballer. Trade him for a pick around 50 if we can find a suitor.
Brayden Maynard.
If he wants to go, I'd let him, but only if he wants too, otherwise, keep him, but don't over pay.

Look for a Key Defender. We missed Howe last night, but let's face it, he's 35 in June and won't be around for much longer. Moore is a lynchpin back there, but his crash and bash type means his body may not hold up for another five years.
Frampton is serviceable but....he's Frampton.

Lipinski for pick 50 might be the silliest thing I’ve seen in a while

Clearly you haven't seen my other posts.

Hustwaite looked pretty good…

He's a hidden gem that one, I have a good feeling about him.

How many games of AFL did you play?

The same number as your Mum. But what's thatv

Not everyone can be tough and hard. Beau is the one with that reputation who is doing absolutely nothing. Pat is an outside player and plays that role quite well. Trying to turn him into Darren Millane is just not going to happen. He’s an easy whipping boy. Beau is one who needs to lift for a so called “tough guy”.

I agree with that. I'd prefer to give Ed Allen a go instead.

Time for the annual “look how good Fiorini is doing in the 2s”. Moyle also keeps crushing it

I feel Fiorini mght be in an inbetweener. Too good for VFL, but not consistent at afl?

Oh dear. Now Brisbane are getting Coleman back. Their list is endless. No wonder I hate them so much

I’m not sure if it’s inconsistency or just a bit vanilla at AFL level. He gets plenty of uncontested footy in seniors, but doesn’t do much defensively

Yeah, their fans seem to think while he gets the ball, he doesn't use it well enough - especially at afl level.

47 disposals, 11 tackles, 3 goals - now that is actually too good. Most of the time we say too good for VFL it's because they're a pretty good VFL player.

Could you imagine if we had a player getting those numbers in the VFL & they weren't being selected

Just wait until Mitchell comes back

A bit like Fin.

They’re old school NEAFL numbers he’s put up the last two weeks not VFL! I think the thing with Fiorini is he’s always been a 20ppg AFL mid which is a step up from the Bianco, Poulter and Brown’s of the world who can get good looking numbers at that level and not handle the step up. The problem for him now is his limitations hurt him in the current game.

Good depth for us, but not someone who’s getting a game every week so I’d prefer an untapped Browne myself if there’s a list spot there for a mature mid. West Coast though need to be knocking on his door!

Agree wholeheartedly. There is definitely a team out there that could get a few seasons out of him, but I don't think it's us. I'd like a flier on Browne

The last thing we need is another NQR.

I get that. In a hypothetical world, if Nick left for $2mil per year, I think most people wouldn’t be happy. Most people would want to burn down the joint.

My point was more around that Bont is choosing not to sign. It’s not that Bulldogs can’t meet his financial demands - he’s literally their greatest player. If the dogs can’t afford him (due to an insane salary ask) we definitely wouldn’t be in the frame either.

The Dogs already have several players on very high salaries in addition to JUH on $800k until the end of 2026, and Richards likely commanding close to $1m a year as a UFA. It’s conceivable that unless they’re somehow able to shed the entirety of JUH’s salary at the end of this year that the Dogs could be priced out of retaining Bont by us or another club without that contract being even close to $2m.

I’m sure they would have planned for Bont to be out of contract in 2025. The more I think about it, the more I feel like Bont is going to leave.

It’s not money related 100%.

As their captain one of their greatest ever players they’d have likely planned for him to be staying for slightly unders, as most players of those type tend to do. I’m sure they didn’t plan for him to potentially be a bit disgruntled and considering rival offers.
