Prediction Changes v Carlton Round 8

[Northernsoul74]

Just had a look. It seems it wasn't Scott but mum in this case who commented.
sh*t look either way.

She’s not his Mum though is she? If she’s still a club employee she may be looking for a new job next week.

My bad. It is still there... the replies from Scott following that post are also very embarrassing...

What do the replies say?

General impoliteness towards other bulldogs supporters who are pointing out his/her unprofessional comments on a public forum. The entire post looks to have been deleted by the admin. Hope it’s swept under the rug to be honest.

A bit right wing is the runner up to the 2000 Brownlow to Shane Woewodin

Wanting equal rights for fathers is right wing is it?

He does have a point with JJ.

just wondering what happened with JJ?

At one point he was an aa-quality hbf providing the most dangerous run and carry

did teams tag him/figure him out or is this just a form slump?

A pretty long form slump. A combination of the above plus a lack of desire which can happen. Just doesn’t work hard enough both in game and training.

Do you really think that is going to happen in this world of junk media and the arrival of social media Dont think so

Think the tagging he constantly got wore him down. He's in a major form slump.

Because our KPD's are shaky we need as much intercept/tall coverage from our mediums. Hence why Williams and now Dale overtook him because both offer more aerial support to our defenders. Both probably use it better also.

This system worked well the last few times against them, why not a third

Because the last two times we didn’t execute it

Nothing wrong with a system that gets you 6 out of 7

A three part answer IMO:
1. Opposition teams put more pressure on him to restrict his run and carry.
2. He got a bit lazy and didn't work hard enough.
3. He lost confidence and is uncertain of his own future role in the team.

Going to hurt big time next week

Not if Lycett gets suspended as he should

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Im undecided on McNiel. He has so little impact especially during the first half of games and then in the second half he shows flashes. Seems to steal so many handballs on the second halves of games and his speed stands out but weirdly is missing in the first halves of games

The position he plays is the hardest on the ground to get involved for the whole game

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

We are losing tomorrow

LOL

 

[Doggies_13]

That post from west comes across as the classic parent watching child with rose coloured glasses crap that anyone who has ever coached youth football has copped.
But from that post it’s clear why rhylee burned his teammates and played the way he did last week.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Had it been coming off any other game I'd have preferred west get another chance. Scott I'd hope is a stop gap but hannan I think adds a different string to our bow just will take a couple weeks to get back to his best. Mcniel as I've said I'm a fan of. Lipinski I also like however struggle to see a spot for him in our midfield

If Hannan is injury free he will be a massive upside for us

Hayes or Ladhams will come in. Both playing very well in the SANFL.

Doesn’t worry me greatly it will be our midfielders vs theirs that will be the key but we need to worry about today first

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

No idea why Wallis is not in this side. We were soft in the contest and he is one who hardly ever loses a one on one. He was great last year, whilst guys who have been ordinary for ages are getting a game.

Pace

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Reckon Westy has had a few Saturday night sherbets get the best of him.

Yep that’s why it reads like a BF post

i still reckon my idea of an interlock for BF, Twitter and Facebook would be a winner

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

If it’s the real Scott West or not he has some excellent points that a strong alternative voice to Bevos would help with selections.
Westy was such a fierce, determined character, why wouldn’t he be in other areas of his life? Joel Selwood is so competitive that he complains so much he is also a bad sport and it makes him look like a dickhead. Westy may also be like this?

Here is an excellent point

Rylee was sh.t last week and his dad could do him a service by stop making excuses

He could learn from Jake on how to be selfless

West was a great player but always struggled to keep his mouth shut when he was angry and was perhaps not as introspective and self-critical as he could have been. Should probably lock his social media for a day when he gets angry.

We used to have a few issues with ex players, and we’re doing a lot better now, but this is the ugly side of the father/son rule. You run the risk of burning relationships with favourite sons of it doesn’t work out.

Let’s be honest - Rhylee was awful last week. He’s a midfielder that can’t squeeze his way into a stacked midfield, but beggars can’t be choosers and he needs to give it his all in another position. He took a few flying shots instead of doing the team thing then didn’t get a kick.

He’ll get more opportunities but this does not help his cause, and if he wants to go to another club I think having a potential David Cloke situation will deter others.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Its a bit sad when you are so involved in your sons life that you feel compelled to carry on like a parent at an under 9's game.

West and Schache havn't been scapegoated for last weeks game, they've been made to pay a price for their lack of composure or impact last week.

Were they the only ones? Obviously not, but they were the ones with the fewest credits in the bank.

As an aside, Im sure that Schache is thrilled at being dragged into this given how much his career is hanging by a string right now.

It’s extremely glaring. Not in the frame at all.

I will say he was godawful in the first two games. Didn’t keep his feet, didn’t win contests and sprayed his shots. I guess the coaches see him on the track etc so maybe they don’t think he’ll perform.
