[Munnez]

Club website has him at 189cm and 81kg.

With boots on would make him 191

Reckon he’s spooked. That last kick just screamed “don’t stuff it up don’t stuff it up don’t stuff it up don’t stuff it up F&$*!”.

Was our leading goal kicker two years ago and can’t buy a goal.

Has the knack of stuffing up the most straightforward plays at crucial times. Does he offer enough otherwise to allow us to put up with that? I think not.

 

[Cousin Ben]

Gowers is energetic and tries when we are in attack.....or he is manning the mark. Name a solid defensive effort from Gowers? Ever?

Understand it is not his fault he gets picked but to think that bloke cost us one of the best recruiters in the league just rubs salt into the wound.

Did he? I didn’t know that. How so?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Billy will be getting lots of counselling and TLC, that’s how Bevo works. Won’t be surprised if he gets another game.

Read the thread, the question was asked earlier and I already posted the answer.

He didn’t, just a strawman attempt by irrational WB BF posters.

Got it, thanks. Thought it might have been the McCartney story. Love to know who the overlooked player was.

I understand. Neither is 100% reliable - I usually opt for the club's figure.

... by irrational WB BF posters.

Tautology alert.

If it wasn’t the alleged incident involving the drafting of Gowers, why is it that a contracted Dalrymple left the Dogs exactly?

"Ben's a good mark and good kick, and at his size can be used in a few different spots. He'll play half-back for the Brisbane Lions academy, but he can also play on the wing or across half-forward, so he really has that versatility to move around wherever he's needed."

What happened to him?

 

[Yojimbo]

What happened to him?

He stayed with the Brisbane Lions Academy the year after he missed getting drafted, but other than a link to Redland which was 2018
anyway i cannot find anything much. There were eight in the allies squad from the Brisbane Academy only two of them made lists.

Really? I love Ellie Blackburn and agree, she is an absolute star of the game. You've made completely the wrong inference here, I'm afraid.

No you have mad the wrong inference as you used a female footballer to denigrate the Bulldogs match c'ttee's choices.....think about it!!!....this is exactly the type of language that requires changing

I think he meant choosing someone totally unexpected, rather than “just a gurrrl”. At least she is a footballer at our club, even if ineligible for selection.

If it wasn’t the alleged incident involving the drafting of Gowers, why is it that a contracted Dalrymple left the Dogs exactly?

Because he didn't get the job as General Manager of List Management and Recruitment that went to Sam Power. McCartney and Dalrymple were peers. Both thought they should get the job, but neither did so they both left. Apparently the way they behaved towards each other (i.e. not talking to each other) didn't go down well with the powers that be. The powers that be were totally fine with them both leaving.

Gowers recruitment had nothing to do with Dalrymple leaving. Coaches and recruiters get overruled all the time on list management decisions.

Didn't Dalrymple leave during the Beveridge era?
If so, how does that work?
After Power arrived was Dalrymple just waiting for a suitable trigger to walk out, which just happened to be the Gowers selection?
Or were there also "differences" with Bevo?

Also are you saying McCartney left because of the Power appointment, not from the cumulative pressure arising from his man-management failings and Griffen's departure?

Welcome to my ignore list. You are simply not worth it.

No doubt all of the above contributed. However, the suitable trigger would have been not getting the GM of List Management and Recruiting which he probably felt like he was entitled to after the club won the premiership.

All list management decisions have to be signed off by the Head of Football. Sometimes the list manager wins, sometimes the coach. There were examples under Rocket's era where he didn't get what he want because the list manager won the day. Gowers selection is being incorrectly touted as the trigger when it was a minor issue.

So the Gowers thing is tin-foil hat but this whole scenario you put forward including rumour, dissent, faceless men and questionable timelines should be taken as gospel?

There is nothing faceless about who wields power at the club. Peter Gordon, Ameet Bains, Chris Grant and one or two others.

The poor relationship between Dalrymple and JMac was not a secret, it had been spoken about in the media. I heard Caro talk about it at the time.
