Re: Umpires

The Dogs we’re playing for frees. They were pulling the defenders arms down when they Saint defenders were spoiling drawing the too high free. It worked 3 times. They also pin the arm of the tackler drawing the holding the man. They sucked umps in time after time. The umps need to be better...someth...

Re: My Bulldogs mates reckon they are going to go after Steele

I reckon Steele would revel in it. In finals I reckon there’s a risk with taking your focus off what you usually do. It pays off sometimes but generally the team that settles in a plays it’s own game quickest gets the upper hand. The way the Giants roughed up the Dogs last year wasn’t that far from ...

Re: Paddy, fit and symptom free.

Fair enough. I’m just taking the article on face value. I don’t know a lot about concussion except for my own experience with it. But what I do know is we don’t know enough about it to make definite judgements on it. There’s still a lot of unknowns when it comes to the workings of the brain. From wh...

Re: Paddy, fit and symptom free.

....From what I saw I don’t think Paddy had the athleticism and endurance for the modern game and I don’t think he’d fit Ratten’s game style. A couple of years on the side lines is not going to assist his areas of deficiency. The above mentioned are fixable with hard work. And game plans change yea...

Re: The druggies after Paton

Maybe a leak from his manager to give Saints a little prod? I’d say you’re right. Manager trying to bump up Paton’s contract, which mean more $ for his manager too. Most of the contract talk now is manager driven. They have no club interest it’s about the best deal for their client and themselves.

There’ll be some victorian 17-18 yo that will come from nowhere as they haven’t played a game this year. Most of the picks in the draft from Victoria this draft will be kids who showed form as an under ager in the NAB league. There’ll be some kids that have grown and developed a lot since they last ...

Of course it’s wishful thinking....but for the fact that this video made it to the media would suggest that some are not happy with what’s going on at GC.

Re: imagine how good .....

Hannebery is pretty important for our fwd50 entries. He makes really good decisions with footy in hand. He almost always lowers his eyes first before bombing. Soon as you have more variety when entering fwd50 you are harder to defend against. Geelong played us well, they had sweepers between our key...

Re: Trade talk

Luke Parker?

Get a couple of good years at least from him. Meanwhile try and develop, trade and draft our next crop of mids, which is starting to emerge already.

Re: ins and outs

Geary gets a bit of the footy because the opposition are happy for him to have it. As he turns it over in dangerous areas regularly. His kicking has no penetration now also, so even his long bombs drop short. I love Gears, gives 100%, has got the most out of himself. He obviously has value as a lead...

We bombed out last night.

We could have bombed out of the finals last night, as we bombed out of the game. We had 16 more fwd50 entries last night but we’re far too predictable with our long, high, loopy bombs, that are far too easy to defend, especially when the opposition load up in the defence as they all do these days.

Re: Paddy McCartin

He’d have to play like Tim Membrey or Jack Reiwoldt to get a game. Not sure he’s up to being that mobile. He’s 194cm, he’d have to weigh around 90-94kg to be able to play that role. And most importantly he’ll have to find someone to insure him. I reckon Richo ruined him with his crashing of packs (h...
