Changes v the suns

[Bulldogs85]

Toby McLean he won’t be sticking around can see him asking for a trade

 

[Doggies_13]

A Gowers, Cordy, Suckling half forward line is an interesting one. Gowers the only one I'd consider a natural forward, though Suckling has a great boot and served us well there last week. I expect Cordy to be around the ground.

cordy will play back, no way he starts forward when Gold Coast have king and day up forward

 

[Del165892]

Clearly Hunter is dealing with personal issues. This isn't about us as a team. It doesn't suck because we just got him back. It sucks that he's dealing with personal injuries.

Can it not suck for both reasons?

 

[weltschmerz]

Don’t blame Toby McLean but he won’t be sticking around can see him asking for a trade

There are a lot of teams who could play him in their best 22 without question. Wouldn't be surprised. North maybe.

 

[Mojorisin]

Any news on the dale injury? When it occurred or severity

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Gowers better put some effort in or ill melt

Effort had and will never been the thing he has lacked.

 

[Doggy]

Dale injured? Ffs.. we have no luck

 

[Mojorisin]

Effort had and will never been the thing he has lacked.

He has a much stronger body then dale so that should serve us well in the conditions. Hope he doesn't have any brain fades

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Bloody gowers

A bit too simplistic but am confident Gowers will at least provide more than Dale has recently.

I think Cal Twomey said a Few days ago that a few clubs are keeping a eye on Toby McLean

 

[bresker]

I’m pretty sure R West will be major planet in the Bulldogs system and gowers is a moon or large asteroid but what do I know

 

[DognBones]

Can't accept that Gowers is a better option than McLean. McLean hasn't been great but he's got a lot more ability and versatility than Gowers. Gower's has no form to warrant selection. Also, has Tory Dickson been pensioned off?

 

[X_box_X]

Can it not suck for both reasons?

Naturally as a supporter it's very easy to put the team first, but in a situation like this, morally I think we should be focusing most of our attention to being sympathetic towards the individual.

I probably shouldn't have called you selfish. I know your a man of good character and should have given you the benefit of the doubt.

Gowers isn’t a natural forward.
We made him into one in 2018. Still pretty unpolished but can be effective on a good day.

We're going in very short in the forward half. Dale was playing a pseudo tall last game, with him out it needs to be Gowers if we want to keep the same structure. Not defending Billy but McLean was never in contention for that spot.

 

[Yojimbo]

In Porter & Gowers, P&G Peter Gordon, co-incidence maybe, maybe not.

 

[Golden_6]

I remember a couple of years ago we were playing Gowers as our CHF. It did not end well at all.

Louis Butler is an emergency, L B Luke Beveridge

 

[The Inbetweener]

Here’s hoping Gowers has more disposals than free kicks against

 

[Merlins Revenge]

I understand the reasoning with Gowers, even if I don’t agree with it. Toby has been playing a tagging role, so he might not have fit with our forward structure.

 

[Yojimbo]

Louis Butler is an emergency, L B Luke Beveridge

Over 300 metres gained in his two games Louis Butler, raw yes, but somewhat effective.

Our list has 1 x Vowel and 44 x Consonants, it's an outrage.

 

[Maverick Dog]

Toby McLean he won’t be sticking around can see him asking for a trade

Agreed and so he should, it is a joke a player like Gowers can be selected before him.

when will Bevo finally admit the guy is a liability. Probably Never as he overruled the recruiting manager and Bevo is always right

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

I remember a couple of years ago we were playing Gowers as our CHF. It did not end well at all.

He had one good game against Richmond playing a defensive job on Grimes. But I doubt that I'd even remember it if Naughton hadn't taken 9 contested marks that game and I don't think Bruce is going to do that this week.

 

[doggie dog]

How the hell did Gowers get a game? Surely McLean, or West

What message does this send to McLean and West, that Porter and Gowers are better than you?
No way in hell are Gower and Porter better than McLean and West.
Put down the crack pipe Bevo and MC.

 

[wian]

I would have had Trengrove in absolute miles before Gowers.. Just utter lunacy
