Also, when Hunter doesn't play, we don't win.JJ is our most important player. When he sucks, we suck.
Wood is no longer best 22.
Backline should be:
Morris Naughton Crozier
Daniel Cordy JJ
As wood cannot play any other lines it is either him or Morris in the gun and Morris is still our best or second best defender behind Naughton. Woods disposal not up to scratch and crozier and Naughton have replaced him as the intercepter. If Moz is injured or retired Wood is back in and plays on the third tall.
Our foot skills are still below par and tough decisions need to be made and we can only carry a handful of players with sub par footskills.
Just on the JJ point - if it’s just journos or commentators who think he is damaging then why do you think opposition coaches started tagging him? Do you think they over rate him too? Serious question
Here's an unpopular opinion:
Tim English will never be AFL level. Too skinny.
I like ScragCity
I see him at work here

I’ll bite
Wallis is a better mid than forward.
- Wallis is ok my dad brought a car off Stephen
We would have won the flag without Tom Boyd.
- I love JJ - but really
Small forwards are massively over rated on here.
- Correct far too many smalls, lightning rarely strikes twice
Leg speed is massively over rated on here; ball movement is far more important.
- Just ask Hawthorn taller players, more leg speed, better skills & a stack of premierships
Gia is a good line coach.
- Reading between the lines
His versatility mantra and willingness to experiment and take risks are some of Bevo's best qualities as a coach.
- Hand gifted a good side and has done little since apart from recruit his mates
Matty Boyd played a much bigger role in our flag than people realise.
- Correct Mr Reliable, great mid & defender
C-graders like Lloyd and Cavarra aren't going to fix our scoring issues. Once we start moving the ball better the goals will kick themselves.
- Sentence 1 Correct not sure why we recruited them, to short. Sentence 2, as for the goals kicking themselves, well the Libs might get in too
I’ll add a couple of unpopular opinions
Stringer looks better in a Footscray jumper
No nonsense Roughead would look good at centre half back
Is the word cooked overused?
Why haven’t we recruited taller players?
Why don’t we recruit locals that are playing interstate – you don’t more local than Callan Ward
You don’t really think Bevo was gifted a good side do you? They weren’t going too well under the previous coach
Here's an unpopular opinion:
Tim English will never be AFL level. Too skinny.
I did a direct battle between Zaine Cordy and Aaron Naughton called the "eighteen game asylum" as they bothZaine Cordy is massively over rated on here. Naughton had a better season than him last year as a first year player. He’s a serviceable player but he will never be elite.
I'd be more than happy with a Westhoff. Despite all the hype, career Westhoff for pick 19 is a bargainI reckon he could end up as a Westoff style of player.
That could be good or bad...
There were two Westhoff brothers at Port Adelaide you may be messing with the s**t brother curse without knowing it, Justin Westhoff.I'd be more than happy with a Westhoff. Despite all the hype, career Westhoff for pick 19 is a bargain
I agree Yojimbo, our National Draft was excellent:The 1999 draft should have netted us at least two premierships and perhaps a Hawthorn like run.
This has become especially true for 3 players in particular I've noticed - Cordy, Dale and Williams. Can't say anything negative about them without being told you're objectively wrong.Two BF trusims that may not be popular.
1 - Whether a footy opinion is unpopular or not is largely time sensitive.
2- A negative assessment of a young Dogs player is usually unpopular while a positive assessment of a young player is extremely popular.
I recall being smashed for not rating or expressing concern about largely ordinary players like Hrovat, Talia and Jong. Conversely have rarely been criticised for rating someone who hasn't kicked on like Webb.
