Oppo Camp Opposition games round 13

[magpie_marty]

Melbourne should do well with all their first round draft picks

And St Kilda has some great picks next draft in the 1st round

 

[anshell]

This game is making our form against Melbourne last week look pretty good now.Or maybe the Bulldogs are just playing badly?I don't know,because i'm not watching the game,i'm only going by the scores.

Bit of both. Dogs are playing horribly, fumbling everything that comes to them, second to the ball. Melbourne are ferocious though. Hunting in packs, tackling hard. They get Gawn and Hogan back and they can be right up there.

 

[Jasper84]

I wonder if Bontempelli is pissed or relieved at being replaced by Petracca as the most over-hyped player in the AFL.

Our form good also bullies not that great. Melbourne clearly the better team

 

[Apex36]

I don't think they have that many. 4 by my count. It's their recruiting of players from other clubs and guys picked up in that later rounds that are really helping.

Watts, Petracca, Salem, Tyson, Bugg (prelisted as an underage by GWS, assumption he would have been taken first round), Oliver, Jones, Viney (Port bid pick 7), Lewis, Hibberd.

That's 10 of 22 first round selections by my count, with Hogan, Weideman and Brayshaw all out too. Yeah, some of those players are trades, but it doesn't stop them being first rounders.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

So much for Bevo coming out swinging. This is horrible from Premiers.

 

[left at home]

Pressure of being the premiers, is it getting to them

So Petracca will be in the AA by years end then?

Not bad having ten first round draft picks in the 22, should be even better than they are.

Drinking their own bath water, just like their supporters have been up to now.

 

[Apex36]

Most of them are top 10's as well.

 

[Kirby]

Why didn't we show any interest in Garlett when we could have got him for bugger all a few years back?

 

[left at home]

Most of them are top 10's as well.

Yet we could have should have, we are not that bad of a list, not far off

 

[Jasper84]

He'll get the nod before players who deserve it like Neale and Zorko.

Yeah I wasn't really counting them because they were traded in. I was more touching on the fact that they have brought in the right players over the last couple of years.

 

[Stoods]

Dogs having a Hawthorn 2009 season, definitely wont surprise me if they miss the 8.

It's a bit of a meaningless stat for mine. Ultimately having early picks just increases the odds of getting a decent player. Clubs can still make mistakes and players can still have deficiencies in their game, it's just less likely. We had more than a few play against Melbourne too:

Adams (13), Aish (7), Broomhead (20), De Goey (5), Dunn (15), Grundy (18), Hoskin-Elliott (4), Moore (9 - matched WB 5), Pendlebury (5), Scharenberg (6), Sidebottom (11), Treloar (GWS prelist)

Plus, Reid (8), Varcoe (15), Wells (2) who didn't play. I won't count Elliott as trading 25 also included Clarke.

 

[Pedro]

If Bevo is true to form, Macrae should be the next one to do a stint in the twos. (Again). Watched him a bit today and boy is he a 'walker' Several times he gave up and stopped to a walk when a greater effort was required. Stringer won't be far behind him. Not many more selfish players getting around.

 

[Apex36]

I've always been bullish on our list, I'm just not convinced our coaches are any good.

Macrae is the definiton of soft.

I was watching some of the game and the Bulldogs are playing like a side with the weight of expectation on their shoulders, and they are struggling with that.
If we played the Dogs next week, we would win by 5 goals plus....

It amazes me that "The Bont" is in every "experts" mid season All Australian sides, yet Pendles cant get a look in most of the teams picked....In the case of Bontempelli he hasnt been anywhere near AA form this year so far...

Bont probably will win the Brownlow

Bont probably will win the Brownlow

Hopefully not this year, form does not warrant it.
