Prediction Changes vs Dees round 19

[Charlie Bucket]

It’s footy it inspires the passion but you are right

This place always reminds me of the scene in the Monty Python Life if Brian where the People’s Front of Judaea said that the only people they hate more than the Romans are the Popular Peoples Front of Judea

I know I upset people on here as they do me but at the end I’d the day I’m sure we all want our great club to succeed and we all hate the bombers!

If I haven’t upset or offended anyone I’m sure I will get around to it sometime

You’re a relentless defender of the club BL, but I love it. Much rather read your posting than those that want to s**t all over it.

Enjoy the rest of the season. Go dogs!!

Your wife watching it or cbf finding the remote

They promised the Seekers were not playing so I thought I would give it ago

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

We need a Gold Medal for the best face mask

 

[Optimistic Dog]

If we can beat the Dees with the team selected we will be certain to beat them when replacing C graders such Schache/Hannan and a D grader in Roarke Smith

with A graders in Dunks, Treloar and Wood. Plus the possibility of VDM and Martin.

 

[dogwatch]

LOL

yeah that’s what I said

Well come clean then BL. What IS your view on Schache's aptitude and past efforts in the physical contest?

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I will leave you in suspense

And btw I have and will always support my club plenty of crap talk on oppo boards see no reason to contribute to it here bu5 each to their own

[danster168]

hey guys, do you think Anthony Scott will be named the media sub 2 weeks in a row?

 

[perro_loco]

People take this joint far too seriously...

So they should. Footy is not just about life and death, it is far more important than that!!!

 

[Bulldogs85]

hey guys, do you think Anthony Scott will be named the media sub 2 weeks in a row?

I think more Lachlan McNeil or Crozier

 

[ummmbont]

Ok the funny thing is !!
Old bulldogs supporters will tell you we only played smalls
Our couch only got a game when wett

 

[jdz101]

Liam Jones was awful at a KPD for 2 years before he came good.
Even if Schache is a failure as a key back tomorrow, doesn’t mean that’s the end of the experiment.

I still think Liam Jones is awful at KPD.

He bleeds goals a lot.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Well I wouldn't know how good Bruce was when he was playing in the backline earlier in his career but maybe he will be able to do better with experience and fill a need against tall forwards.

Didn't suggest that Schache would be back this week but if he is on the list next year, why not try him for the role over the preseason and see if he is capable of filling a role? Ballantyne, Campbell, Jones - plenty of guys who have made the move to defence,

Fair enough, but I can't see it working. I think Schache lacks the physicality and intensity required to be a defender. Jones for example always had this.

The other major drawback with Schache is his lack of pace which is even more of an issue in our current game style. Because our defenders are placed in attacking positions, having pace to push back can be pretty important. This is a good take on how our defence works below.



I just can't see it working.

*Pick the odd man out:

Liam Jones

The Hindenberg

Current NSW lockdown

My football career

The French Army in WW2

Josh Shache

The French Army in Indo China in 1952

The Crown Casino licence



*Could be a trick question

 

[doggiesin08]

I actually think Billy Gowers is better

I’m no fan of Hannan’s but do you remember Gowers almost blowing the Suns game right at the end last year and then his game the week after against Richmond.

 

[Dry Rot]

Thread needs more Nick Bruton.

 

[BIG_BONTS]

So they should. Footy is not just about life and death, it is far more important than that!!!

football is life!

 

[glenashley]

For those who watch the VFL, Schache had had a few stints down back and done well enough to suggest it's worth pursuing. Not saying he's the second coming of Liam Jones

, but worth a look...

the second coming of Liam Jones

Jesus, the first coming was bad enough.

So pre Easter?

Not against the best team in the comp.

I don’t think he’s playing back though.

 

[Wetdog]

Not against the best team in the comp.

Not long ago you were telling all and sundry that you didn’t rate Melbourne.

Now you think they’re the best team, which I agree with.

What’s changed?

It’s a serious question and I am genuinely interested in the answer as I think Melbourne if anything look less impressive than earlier in the year.

Thanks Ross for that in-depth analysis, your success and leadership through your coaching career has always been a source of inspiration for me.
