I haven't been to the VFL in a few years and I plan on going today if life permits. I was just wondering for those who do attend VFL games, does my AFL membership give me access or is there a VFL membership? I can't seem to find much information on the Western Bulldogs website. I also noticed...

I think it's interesting that throughout our recent history we have had a relatively small forward line, we always wanted more height to make it easier to to match the taller defenders. Now we have a taller back line, coming up against a smaller forward line and we want to go in smaller. I...

I think we should try Jones in a lockdown role.

I am a Buku fan however, I do agree that it was a terrible game. But the worst game in recent memory by a Bulldogs player has to be last year by Bailey Williams. I can't remember what round it was, but from memory I think he had 7 turnovers punished with goals; impressive.

Jackson Hately anybody?

Maybe we could try Macrae in defence, have him compete with Coffield and Khamis for the third tall spot?

I never rated Cooney as a good kick. Very frustrating player, just like Smith.

Bailey Smith is pretty close to an Adam Cooney Clone.

Have the 2023 draft combine results been posted anywhere yet? I can't seem to find any.

As long as our small forwards pick up all the crumbs, we will be fine. If not, this forum will melt.

This would be an upgrade.

Never said they were, what?

You might be correct, maybe I'm over rating my teams player, happens a lot. I agree, you definitely should not be trading pick 1 for English (already said this) it makes no sense. English is already this, him and Bont have carried us all year, without those two, we would be bottom 4. Reid...

I agree that it doesn't make sense for West Coast to be targeting English and you obviously would be annoyed at using your #1 draft pick on English. However, you would have to admit that English is in no way worth less than a straight swap for pick one (in my mind, more).

It's all well and good to not blame the umpires, but if you think they have been faultless tonight, you don't know the rules.

If Gardiner doesn't get up (I hope he does, played excellent against Collingwood) I'd rather Busslinger over Bruce, I'd probably even prefer going with an under sized Cleary over Bruce. Bruce was passable/good in the couple games just before his injury, but he was very bad in his return from...

An older Bont might make a pretty good CHB in the future.

Cleary been good all year, can kick well and makes good decisions but still a bit on the light side. Busslinger, similar to Cleary but less consistent and probably not ready physically. However, he pulls off some seriously great long kicks and seems to make good decisions as well. Raak has...

I actually think this is a brilliant idea that is likely to work out well, his height would be handy in defence as well.

Duryea - Jones - Khamis Dale - Keath - Cleary With what is available.

I'm all for giving Poulter a go, when he deserves it. Admittedly, it's slim pickings at the moment...

You think he should be selected based off what you watched?

I disagree, he had little to no impact on the game. I'd be picking 11 or 12 players that played VFL to be promoted before Poulter.

Poulters last 2 weeks have been quite poor also, definitely not good enough to be pushing for and AFL game.

And he should be. As should Cleary.

I don't understand the people calling for Buku to be delisted. He has so much talent, should be getting games before the likes of O'Brien, O'Donnell, Hannan, McNeil and McComb even if the rumors about his tank are true.

The difference between Keath and Gardiner is pretty slim in my book, Keath has the higher ceiling but has been in pretty bad form. But you lost me at Zaine Cordy, Gardiner is 10 times the defender Cordy was for us, I think Cordy lost something like 55% (don't quote me) of 1v1 contests?

Play Buku?

I haven't seen Ryan play much, what I have seen was extremely exciting. However, I just looked up his statistics and they are not overly impressive. Just over a goal a game and 2 tackles, am I missing something?

I'm very convinced that West has all the tools to be far better than a C+ player, I'd go as far as to say he could be an A grader given the right opportunity. People are saying that people only feel this way because of his Dad, which I think is simply not true. He is faster than the average...
