Michael Doughty- Really Struggling

Drop Dogga ? Earth to crows fan... Not on your life for Luke ! Dogga runs HARD, does great SPOILS, tackles HARD. Now, run that past me again ?

Individually it would be harsh, but no harsher than dropping Jericho was.

We've got a stack of honest toilers. They run hard, they spoil hard, they tackle, it's why the term 'Crowbots' came into being.

But when our forward structure was so clearly lacking and we seemed to struggle to convert midfield possession into meaningful attack, what good is it having yet another backboner across filling in his efficiency forms across halfback?

I do wish we'd get more midfield scoring shots. When we were traveling nicely there were lots of these... now it's big lobby kicks.

I still think Doughty's best position is down back. He can do a shutdown job and also create run for us. I vote move Johncock to the backflank, Dougty to a back pocket and Macca up forward or on the ball.

I think Doughty would have bit more credit in his account than Jezza DT.

Round 1: 12 possesions, 3 marks.
Round 2: 11 possesions, 4 marks.
Round 3: 10 possesions, 1 mark.

He started on the bench today while youngsters like VB and Douglas started on the ground. Vince was more impressive than Doughty today, so when Bode comes back next week is there a chance Michael Doughty could be dropped?

Why dont you put perspective into your damp arguement and show the last 3 rounds where Doughty has gotten better each week

And those stats don't show the "off the ball" great things which win matches.

Didn't think he played too badly yesterday but he is going back to some bad old habits. I just don't understand why someone who has beautiful foot skills has gone back to little sideways or backward handballs. Which invariably puts his teammate under pressure.

He needs to start backing himself again.

Dogga and

has beautiful foot skills

... not in the same sentence please. I like him, work rate up around Sarge's, but his knees wobble like a virgin's nervousness, around goal.
