Review Dogs Discombobulate the Plastics 126 - 65

[Struggle]

Some muppet Hawthorn fan just called SEN to have a crack at the dogs, saying they can only win on small grounds and they’ll be found out.

Bit redundant?

 

[Mattdougie]

Small grounds like the MCG where we beat the Hawks?

Spotless is slightly bigger than the G on sq mts

 

[Westerndog11]

Mate you have no idea

Can’t believe he said that a player that has kicked the second most goals in the league in the last 5 weeks is putrid.

 

[perro_loco]

No. I’ve loved him

I said it last week. Duryea settles the backline big time. His experience is great. If English plays, we totally smash the plastics!!!!

 

[Charlie Bucket]

We look better without him IMO. From a distance, our exists from D50 look more predictable to team mates which has some value. It's possible of course that I may be mistaken.

What’s more predictable than being hit lace out ?
What part of his elite skill set coming out of def 50 is the issue ? He turns the ball over **** all more than others down there and is our most productive def in regards to being possession one in a scoring chain. That stat almost goes directly against what some argue as to why he shouldn’t be playing down there.

Fair enough, it’s what some see when watching the game but it seems a lot are pointing out his errors but ignoring others, which there are plenty of.

Do me a favour, NW, have a think about the scoring chain stat and tell me how that’s possible if he’s not good for us coming out of defence.
It’s like a player leading the Coleman yet we’d prefer he not be playing or that he be sent to the backline.

What to do with Libba and Daniel...

libba for hayes, surely?

 

[DogDays]

I think Lewis Young HAS to stay in.

Agree but I have to say Hayes is an aerobic freak, late in the last 2 games he’s been good but he does get caught out in the first half

This is why i am not on match committee. Very tough calls to be made particularly if we do Adelaide next week by a healthy margin.

If it aint broke ya dont fix it. People need to decide if that is a question or a statement coz im not sure.

If he is so crucial down back how many of the last 7 wins has he played in?

How many of the last 3 losses has he played in?

Just facts please Charlie not opinions

English being sick is a blessing maybe

He hasn't got the leg speed of hayes. I know it's easy to look at the 2 and say yeah Libba straight in cos he's better, but it's not that simple.

 

[bullish23]

Dunkley’s 2nd half season spike is unbelievable. The improvement reminds me of Jobe Watson who went from bland player to A grade midfielder over the course of a pre-season. Dunks is a genuine star of the competition now.

What a narrow minded view on it all Lach. You want facts but you’re ignoring the stats I’ve provided. How do you explain his scoring launch stats ?

Whilst not wanting to get too excited after 1 game, maybe Lewis Young gone past Cordy and Trengove as a KPD?
I have never seen Cordy play a better game as a KPD than Young did today.

Suddenly we have 3 highly promising KP players 21 and under who are all over 195cm. Naughton, Schache and Le. Young

Just to help Charlie he played in all 3 losses and only 2 of the wins.

Facts are yes he is a good player but in no way is he crucial, in no way do we perform so much better without him, facts prove this

Hayes pretty horrendous today. When the physicality dropped off later, he was ok but I’d be worried playing him next week and in finals, if we make it.

 

[mcgleereturns]

Behind only Jarrod McVeigh who has only played 4 games, Daniel ranks No1 amongst all defenders in the comp for starting scoring chains. That means there’s no other defender in THE WHOLE COMP who’s as productive as Daniel coming out of the back half. I’m sorry but all this talk about Daniel holding us back is utter bulls**t. I can’t stand Donald Trump but in the words of that terrible man... FAKE NEWS !!!

Daniel walks in to the team everyday of the week.

Well, match committee makes that decision not random posters on an Internet forum so I wouldn’t worry too much.

So we’re finding form because Daniel isn’t playing ? Come on Lachy. You’re pretty cluey when it comes to footy but you’re really not doing yourself any favours looking at WinLoss ratio for your arguement.

Good call but where does libba play? I want as many of the 2016 crew playing in finals IF we make it.

When you coach a team Charlie there is only one stat that not only matters but what you are judged on, winning.

We were not expected to make the finals after the bye due to our hard part of the draw being in this period. Yet we are now sitting in the 8.

Daniel has played in all 3 losses and only 2 of the wins. We have scored more than we ever have during this time as a team. We have had 4 no goal quarters in the last 2 week's against other finals teams. So yeah Daniel whilst a good player is severely overrated by you and a few others and results bare that out

Beast.

If he’d been given a free run at playing on-ball all year like Walsh, he’d walk it in. He’s done what’s he’s done playing on flanks, wings and pockets. Superb first season.

His power, speed and poise are phenomenal. Wait until he’s had a proper pre-season. Yikes.

I don’t give a shit about the rising star award more than happy with Smith!
