Battle Forward is an option, but I think he has been much better at CHB than he would be as a forward. He might be an ok Forward, he has a big tank, can take a grab, good kick and is aggressive. I also think he will ultimately end up a forward. But at the moment, he is performing well at CHB (an eas...

There are two types of Key defenders Last line defenders, who defend first, and play man on man... like D.Talia 2nd tall defenders who don’t play as deep. Zone off and intercept, use the ball well... Like J.McGovern We have 3 tall defenders Two are better offensive players, better suited to CHB, one...

He will walk straight back into the side.

He is one of the premier shut down defenders in the game, and none of the others can claim even close to that.

He will take Paton’s spot.

You do realise we were the fastest ball moving team from 2016-2017, playing on the most from marks. It was a style of play you cannot defend if you turn the ball over, you concede easy goals, so if you play a team that pressures well through the middle or beats you in clearance, you will be opened u...

They are

I consider Sav a GOP, Dunstan a GOP and Acres a tease.

None have set the world on fire, all have played VFL footy in the last 18 months. None have a top ten B&F result over the last few years.
McEvoy has finished top 5 at Hawthorn last two seasons

Again, we had 17 marks i50

The dogs attack from d50, a lot of our marks were from mid turnovers, where the defenders had pushed forward and caught out of position and we got them over the back.

Also, name the dogs two key defenders? They are putrid

Umm...

Have you been reading the site since Sunday?

I wouldn’t

Ben McEvoy is a A Grade ruckman, three time premiership ruckman, absolute leader.

Good clubs don’t trade out good players about to enter their prime.

We won 4 of our first 6 because we had some easier games at the start, we will win a few on the way home, because we have some easier games coming up.

Question
Who have we lost to this season, that we should of beaten?
Have we won any games we should not have?

We kicked straighter against average opposition.

Well, we’re carrying on like we just beat a top 4 side.

They have the same amount of wins as us, and have a crack midfield. What does that say about them at either end? They are putrid outside of the centre and HBFs

It’s been one game, is it the first time any of those players have played well?

He should be captain because he’s a good player?

Seriously?!

He’s played 25 games FFS

5-Clarke
4-Lonie
3-Marshall
2-Billings
1-Steele

Wow

Common sense.

Robert Harvey was from Seaford

Well, I did say almost? I should know because I was completely against it, and also argued against Pelchen from the moment he traded out champions and down graded the picks we got for them. I was driven out of this joint by copping continual abuse for daring question the club. Not sure if you were h...

Jesus! Talk about going over the top?! He has plenty of development to go, to get to the level of Gawn and Grundy. Or even to where Stef Martin or Goldstein when they were at their best. Then you’ve got Nic Nat. He is still getting well beaten by the bigger ruckmen at stoppage, and has to build his ...

We should give him a two year extension

On the back of one game?!

Everyone, almost to a man on here lauded the trade and believed in Pelchen. After one year, where Ben had played some VFL and Dunstan had a good first year, it was seen as a great trade. McEvoy is now the third best ruckman in the AFL. And is the Captain that should have been. How we let go our cons...

How do we rate the dogs defence? They like to run off and create, but can they defend?

All you have to do is match them in the middle and stop Bont and they are beatable

Always been extremely talented and has the ability to make something out of nothing. He is also extremely courageous, always has been. He gets a lot of free kicks by getting on the move around stoppages and drawing contact. He was an outstanding junior, and was Vic Country MVP at the champs Showed a...

Bit of both. The players clearly played with more freedom, and kicked straight early (amazing what scoreboard pressure can do for confidence). There was some young talent on display, playing very well. Not getting carried away though, what I did learn was that the Bulldogs back 6 is putrid at defend...

Wilkie, easily.

But he has had a lot of goals kicked on him lately

An awful footballer with an AFL best and fairest and twice runner up
