Am I the only one that just sees first year Ed Richards when watching Dolan?

Needs another preseason or two but he looks a class above at this level

The 2024 draft class all look good early.

Love that Walker has matched Busslingers right shoulder strapping. Hopefully Sellwood does the same when he’s back to confuse everyone even more

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Love seeing Garcia use the boot more this week. Can be quite handball happy which basically wastes that speed he has, but so far has 11 kicks, compared to a total of 14 last week from his 38 disposals

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Can we just ban ruck free kicks already?

 

[X_box_X]

Garcia, Gardner & Poulter the best to HT.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Love the look of young Walker

 

[Golden_6]

Poulter, Garcia, Jacques & Gardner the best so far. That pretty much covers every position in the AFL seniors so it keeps the selection table interesting at least.

I don’t want to see Gardner at AFL level again but he’s really become a dominant defender at VFL level.

 

[Mofra]

At work, can't watch the game.
Very much appreciating these updates

 

[Foxman98]

Walker looks very promising Buss not so much

 

[Philthy1]

One the emergencies will come out the game for just in case scenario.

Busslinger, Dolan or Poulter.

Busslinger, Dolan or Poulter.

Ideally not Buss. His first half was quite poor by his usual standards, would rather see him be given the chance to work back into the game

Smith looks further advanced then Green who was a first round pick in the same draft. Good signs.

I was thinking more Craig McCrae that dangerous HHF that is very composed ball in hand. Generally makes good decisions and finds team mates with quick hands or chip kicks

Smith is bullying Ladhams who half the people on here wanted to give up a first rounder for

 

[Testekill]

I wonder if Poulter could sacrifice some of his endurance and put on 5ish kg of muscle to be a bigger threat in marking contests.

He's only 22 too so bulking up a little to build his strength would go a long way to making him a more well rounded player.

 

[Fossie 32]

Gardner killing it, get him into the seniors asap

In Gary Dempsey territory with 10 marks so far

 

[Testekill]

Ruck free kick for their third goal because of course

I think Smith's ruckwork has been better, but Ladhams has the points at the moment.

Overheard Geary chatting to a Swans player (didn’t recognise him)

Said Dolan needs to take his chances more, Buss gets ‘too much’ of the ball (whatever that means)

And asked if JUH will make a comeback he joked ‘yeah for you blokes’

 

[Mojorisin]

Assuming this means he plays too loose.

I think I understand what the Busslinger comment means, in the second quarter we had the ball in our defensive goal square and Busslinger ran deep into the pocket to receive the ball, he was pretty much in line with our player with the ball and it would've been a completely unnecessary disposal and probably would've put us under more pressure. I wonder if that's what they mean.

First time since Ward in 2008 that a player has had three consecutive BOG performances in the VFL.

I wonder if Bice will get suspended for that late hit on Baker?

Not even a fifty!
