Review Dogs flog the modern day ‘Fitzroy-like’ putridity.

[adogsfan5]

Professional win.

Bont, English, Richards terrific.

Onto our elimination final next week. Anything less than 45k at marvel next week is a disgrace. Book your day out dogs fans and get there!

Keep Crofty in.

No change next week. I wouldn’t risk Treloar and I sure as hell wouldn’t bring him in for a fwd. If he’s gonna come back in, it’s gotta be for Sando as the sub. Do not drop Garcia

We just witnessed the moment when a player goes from being very good/excellent to elite. West is now an elite small forward. Today was that day.

Based on the stats dogwatch posted in the match day thread, he's been elite all year.

 

[Some Idiot]

Can't take much out of that game, we didn't play our best but West Coast were putrid

 

[Chicago1]

A nice lazy, calm afternoon. Just the opposite of what it will be like next Sunday. Hopefully we'll have the same result.

Great debut by Crofty. Just typing "Crofty", "Westy", "Libba" and "Darcy" makes me feel like I'm in my 30s/40s again.

 

[Dogsman16]

I know I’m going to be torched for this….

Croft the young talent wow.

But whether I have him added to our forward line structure right now I’m not sure. I felt it resulted in our KPFs getting in each others way too often. All good against a hapless eagles but in finals games (which starts in 7 days time) I’m not sure.

High risk would be to continue with the 3 tall forward setup going forward. Only from a structure perspective. Feels like it would take 15+ games at senior level for the trio to gel.

Treloar as sub next week imo or off a hff

 

[Bulldogs85]

Club should send this as a nice Christmas card to Ross the Boss

Do not agree with this at all.

Trealor is way to good a player not to play. Garcia and Trealor can share Mc Neils role and improve on it significantly

Would be lovely if we add another 2 Darcy's plus an extra Croft for nothing.

Wow, what a way to burst my balloon. I’ll accept it!!

also add another West

Treloar isn’t a forward though. Mcneil is no star but his unrewarded running and leading goes unnoticed. I wouldn’t be bringing him in after one vfl game on limited minutes. We’ve been here before, trying to squeeze too many mids into the side / playing them fwd or wing and it’s burnt us. I hope we make the right call.

BOG for mine was the vegetarian nachos at Marvel. Surprisingly good. Mission Corn Chips, you'd hope.

West wasn't a forward either

 

[weltschmerz]

West's half a chance to make the AA squad.

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Shithouse opponent but loved Busslinger’s game today. I’ve been one of his bigger critics but I’ve really appreciated his role at AFL level a lot more than what he was doing in the VFL.

Been more accountable for his man, and had more support to clean up after him when he kills a ball in a contest so can focus more on spoiling/negating his opponent.

Also thought JOD was fantastic. Again though, shit opponent. Next week will be a huge test given how dominant Treacy and Voss can be when they’re on

 

[Freshwater]

Treloar has to come in as the sub. He is an elite player who improves our team. And as sub there is less risk. Garcia, Buss, Croft, Cleary, Baker, Davidson to all stay in. Sanders and McNeil are the ones to potentially make way for Treloar? Vandermeer surely doesn’t come back in? Poulter and VDM and McNeil are all unlucky but not quite in best 23 at the moment.

Treloar is one of those guys who is always fit to play when recovered.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Fair day's work 209 points combine margin by the 2 dog's team.

 

[flamethrower]

Very enjoyable twilight at the Dome against Fold Coast. All those billions and that's the best team they can run out there.

And one for the critics in the media bagging our defense - we are now ranked 6th for points against in the league, and easily 1st for points for - right in Champion Data's premiership window.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

It's always enjoyable to demolish teams but throw in West Coast's woeful kicking for goal and I'm not sure we necessarily learnt anything or hold a higher opinion of the team than we did before the game.

4.8 from 42 inside 50s. Think we defended ok. Wasn’t much to defend against. Let’s see how we go against Amiss, Voss and Treacy with the footy coming in from Young, Serong and Brayshaw.

 

[Golden_6]

Garcia can play McNeils role

There’s actually no evidence he can. Garcia is a ball hunter and McNeil is a defensive forward.

Garcia, Sanders & Treloar are competing for the one spot as the high half forward ball winner.

McNeil & VDM competing for the one defensive role.

Question for the history buffs - what’s our highest ever final H&A percentage? I’m thinking 140% would have to go close?
