If Davidson needs a spell Poulter comes straight in

 

[Mojorisin]

Poulter with 25 and 3.2

I think he should be in next week and Davidson have a week off.

 

[Doggy]

If Davidson needs a spell Poulter comes straight in

Ended with 3.3

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Not sure we will make any changes though Gallagher and Poulter were very good

Just the one change for me.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Just the one change for me.

No change for me

 

[Doggy]

No change for me

Maybe a change or 2 after Darwin

 

[Bulldogs85]

Maybe a change or 2 after Darwin

That’s what I would do

 

[Testekill]

Had completely forgotten that the VFL game still had a quarter left in it after the AFL.

 

[Doggy]

Jacques had 19.

Progressing well

 

[weltschmerz]

Jacques had 19.

Progressing well

12 marks too

The fixturing is beyond a joke.

All the listed players were good today. Didn't see the first half obviously but Poulter, Duryea and Smith were very good in the second half. Gallagher was strong in the midfield and not as messy as last week. The first 2 could easily slot into the AFL side if injuries occur. Jaques is coming along nicely, smart player who understands his role and disposes of the ball with accuracy. May even see him debut some time this season. A 72 point win against the Pies on their own deck is an excellent result.

Hoping Jaques knocks the door down over the next month and steals a spot off of Bramble. With his current trajectory it looks possible.

Judging by that 2nd half looks like there's going to be some pressure for spots which is healthy. Duryea in particular looks way too good for VFL.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Just the one change for me.

Not yet, soon maybe re Poulter / Davidson

Just some observations from around the leage:

• Dominic Bedendo with a few high production weeks for Port Melbourne.
  • R4: 29 disposals and 3 marks against Essendon (16 point loss)
  • R5: 26 disposals and 4 marks against Box Hill (38 point loss)
  • R6: 22 disposals, 8 marks and 4.2 against the Bullants (99 point win)
  • * he only had the 2 tackles across those 3 games so not sure what his defensive efforts has been like
    
• Crossley (Southport) vs Downie (Williamstown)
  • Seemingly the two best regarded VFL rucks over the past couple of years came up against each other this week
  • Crossley smashed Downie 48-17 in the hit-outs which surprised me given he's giving away 5cm
  • Crossley with 6 tackles (equal most on ground) but only 2 clearances as compared to Downie's 9
  • Disposals were 15-19 in Downie's favour so both were reasonably productive

What position is Dom playing? On a wing?

Why the want or haste to replace Bramble , putting together another very solid season.
Mature body in a pretty young backline.
Jacques is going to be good , that I agree with you on.

 

[The Inbetweener]

How was Hynes?

I agree bramble is having a solid season and contributing well as a role player, you couldn't ask much more of him. Jacques however has the scope to be alot more then that and for alot longer. I'm not one to bring guys in on scope alone especially when someone is comfortably holding down a spot ahead of them, but if Jacques demands the spot, we don't lose anything in the short term whilst gaining alot in future years.

 

[goodcop badcop]

How was Hynes?

I didn't see much of the the 1st half, looked average in the 2nd half. Needs to tidy up his kicking and decision making.

Bramble hasn't reached the heights of last season, especially with his run, carry, and kicking. Backing him to improve in the second half of the season.
