My original post, upon viewing your analysis while watching the game, simply pointed out that what was reported was dependent on the individual player. Walsh could do no wrong, while others were simply labelled as "poor" without context. As your post was generating a fair bit of comment, I...

I'm not judging your ability to assess, I'm just making comment on being aware of passing personal comment on as unbiased analysis. Picking and choosing the information you put forward to support certain ideals is a good way to affect the validity of your analysis. The work you've put in is...

Just rewatched the first half with this for reference, and although the work put into it is commendable, there is a lot of personal opinion swaying some of the centre square analysis. It's clear that Dow and Ed don't favour much sway with you, which is fine if you're offering an opinion on a...

It's baffling why we try and turn players into something they're not. These guys get drafted because they're the best at what they do. Sure, some skills are easily transferable i.e. moving a half back flanker onto a wing. But why move a contested player like Setterfield onto a wing and expect...

I think we just play too many out of position. We should be playing to our strengths, not trying to fix deficiencies. Setterfield isn't a winger. Put him back in the middle where he started showing form last year. It appeared that Dow spent a lot of time forward. I actually think he did a few...

Docherty-Jones-Plowman SPS-Weitering-Saad Setteffield-Curnow-Newnes Martin-Casboult-Murphy JSos-McKay-Fisher Pittonet-Cripps-Walsh Williamson-Fogarty-Dow-Cuningham LO'B and Gibbons fighting out 23rd man I like that line-up. Having both Martin and JSos in the forward line gives us versatility...

All good, just got the text message.

Any chance someone could forward me the link? I've tried emailing and calling the club, but no luck as yet. Cheers.

What about next years first and this years third for Saad and ~28 if * get that for Fantasia. Leaves us with some trade currency for this year, plus we back ourselves to improve our ladder position next year.

Treloar to Melbourne unlock Oliver for us? Collingwood take slight unders due to his contract and their apparent need to clear cap space.

Heeney in the middle.

Bulldogs poster who has apparently had some accurate mail in the past has been making some pretty definitive calls on Oliver going to Carlton. Mentioned on both the D&T board and the Bulldogs board. Nothing ground breaking, but a rumour nonetheless.

That wasn't really the point of the question. The point was what are justifiable reasons to deny Australian citizens the right to cross state borders, and how does the states current reasoning align with what is happening in somewhere like Tasmania. I don't think the health argument applies to...

If that's true, denied under what reason?

But the question isn't if Tasmanian's can visit WA, it's why Western Australians trying to get back into WA from other states aren't allowed based on health advice. There would be plenty of Western Australians currently in other states that don't meet the criteria to return to WA. Why is it...

Easier in some respects if they get in, but not easier to get into WA. Someone from Tasmania still needs a legitimate reason to get in to WA. Simply wanting to return to WA wouldn't allow someone from Tasmania to get across the border. Correct me if I'm wrong, but someone returning from...

I think we're getting past the point where this is a public health concern. Keeping a border closed with somewhere like Tasmania, where there are no active cases, a closed border policy with states where there are active cases, and no recorded cases in nearly 50 days is not in the interest of...

From a limited sample size, Polson has been a breath of fresh air in our backline. It’s good to see someone who is willing to take the game on with some attacking kicking. In two games, Polson’s kicking through the middle of the ground has opened up a few scoring opportunities, including his...

I think we need to wait and see what Dow actually produces this year, in a position he’s comfortable in. I too had the perception that Dow is a poor kick, based mainly on what he was producing in the second half of last year, particularly his poor goal kicking. On a quick YouTube review (not...

When Dow gets back into the team, he needs to see more time in the middle. Get him around the ball and just get him involved. In any sport, the forward line is one of the most difficult positions for a young player, especially if they’re not used to playing that position. It’s a limited...

I like SPS in the midfield. His ability to slice through traffic and deliver is his major strength. We’ve seen it used to great effect a couple of time before (Bulldogs, 2019; and Gold Coast, 2018). I think he’s wasted a bit down back. I can understand wanting him down there for his clean ball...

I’m looking forward to seeing Kennedy get a run in the seniors this year (if it even happens). He’s certainly been one of the forgotten men of the Silvagni list management era. Very hit and miss in his brief appearances in the seniors, but wondering whether that may have been a result of...

Harry, McGovern, Charlie starting forward; Casboult starting on the bench. Harry, McGovern, and Charlie all play 80% TOG, with Casboult covering the collective 60% time they’re off. Casboult then plays 20% time in the ruck for Pittonet. McGovern 80% forward McKay 80% forward Charlie 80%...

Do we need early draft picks this year? Are two more highly-rated kids going to make a difference in the next two years? This might appear short sighted, but our defence and forward line are both young enough, and I think able to match it with any other team in the competition. In terms of...

I certainly don’t think Papley and Betts are similar players, but they don’t need to be. It’s about creating a forward structure that works. Papley might not bring the same attributes, but he does bring attributes that would be very useful in our forward structure. No, it’s not like for like...

I can definitely get behind the Papley talk, would be a great replacement for Eddie going into next year. A small forward setup of Papley, Martin, and Cuningham, with one rotating into the middle would be really dangerous. I’d like to see if any of our young midfielders step up over the year...

From a four quarter point of view, he still has plenty to work on in terms of consistency. But I think a half of football showed he can be an important part of our structure. It's the first time I've seen him in Navy Blue carving out a defined role. It will be interesting to see if he keeps this...

Long-time reader, first-time poster. Have read a few posts criticizing McGovern’s game over the weekend and thought I’d throw my two-cents in. Re-watched the game the other night (skipped the first term) and saw some good things from McGovern in the second half. He did a really good job...
