They are my favourite couple. Annie has some substance about her, unlike a lot of airhead WAGs.
I really like listening to Terry talk about footy, loved him as our coach too. I think after all it's his opinion and it's neither right or wrong. Sounds to me like he posed a few question marks on the list and I think that's fair enough. After last year we deserve the scrutiny.Surprised no one has mentioned Plough Wallace’s (The List Manager) summation of the Bulldogs list on SEN this afternoon.
Less than glowing, he said he’s just not buying our team. Said we are far too tall and have drafted players with big question marks over them as they all have had trouble cementing their place at their original clubs. Said the age demographic of our midfield is excellent and bodes well for our future but reiterated how we have too many talls on the list. “the dogs are bucking the trend of going smaller in the forward line illustrated by Richmond this year and the 2016 Bulldogs premiership team.”
Can’t really argue with him but knowing how utterly hopeless Plough’s list management decisions were in his final years with us and then with Richmond i’m very comfortable with him not rating us... in fact I almost think it’s a blessing.
Ox had us falling down the ladder and I didn’t hear what Plough’s prediction was for us.
No he said that Brisbane player Sam Mayes would be a risk as a forward/ruck, but at 187cm surely he fits Kingy's mould of a Grigg type second ruck. Talk about contradicting yourself!He mentioned Sam Hayes is a huge risk as he is a forward/ruck prospect. Did he forget the role that Tom Boyd played on grand final day?

Rather than being the death of the third tall forward surely it is the death of a third tall forward who will not apply pressure. If you want a game tackle, if not, enjoy the VFL (or lower grade)
This "forward lines going smaller" discussion of a trend is going beyond ridiculous.
Firstly we had Cordy, a structural tall (even if he didn't win a heap of it) play forward throughout the 2016 finals series. Then Richmond only played the one tall because every second tall they had on their list was simply a bad player.
In contrast Adelaide have played Jenkins, Walker, Lynch and McGovern, Sydney Franklin, Tippett (or another 2nd ruck) and Reid in the same forward line, and GWS playing Patton, Cameron and Lobb in the same team, and those three teams have been fantastic the last three years and easily could have won flags. It's not some league-wide trend that we can see working for every team. It's dumbasses in the media not looking beyond the teams that won the flag (two teams that had percentages of less than 120% in the home and away season mind you) making dumb statements.
I dont want to be Captain Obvious but in the upcoming draft we would have to be very short odds of taking at least three mids
(maybe 2 and a medium forward). Don't bet on us taking any talls - and remember you heard it here first.
Shouldn't that be the Western Bulldogs and Richmond? After all THEY copied US.
Keep in mind that it wasn't just his preperation and recovery that were shyte.Stripped down Stringer ready for fresh start

Jakey boy has apparently lost four kgs by putting in a bit of effort.
People only prepared to put in hard yards when they receive a giant foot up the arse are not the type of people we need. It shouldn't come to that and I'm glad we've moved on.
Exactly. Losing a bit of weight in November doesn't mean those issues are solved.Keep in mind that it wasn't just his preperation and recovery that were shyte.
There were some issues others may have been involved in and others unique to Jake.
