Mitch Hannan is a bit sh*t isn't he.

Quite a few of us thought that for most of this year, but played some good finals games - sadly not yesterday though....
 
Given how hard the Dogs fought to keep him and given the $$$ offered by the Bombers, Josh Dunkley is a bit shit.
 
Easton wood be a worthy candidate









See what I did there?

Player #46 - Tim English

Tim English is a Bulldogs ruck forward who hasn't quite developed as quickly as the Bulldogs hoped for.

Timmy was a first round pick in 2016, the greatest season in VFL/AFL history. He was a midfielder who grew 20cm in height in 18 months and started playing ruck as a teenager. He was then drafted on that basis, and after 5 years in the system still plays ruck like a midfielder. Josh Dunkley agrees with me.

This has led to a Bulldog ruck crisis were instead of sending Tim into the ruck they have used a 57 year old Stef Martin until he broke down, then tried a kid so raw (Jordan Sweet) that Ricky Nixon asked for his phone number. In the last few games the Bulldogs have thrown Lewis Young into the ruck - a 22 year old kid who is about 4th in line as a KPD and 6th in line as a KPF. During the finals series* Bontempelli has even taken a few ruck contests because he doesn't get enough recognition and now he finally might get noticed by the umpires and the media.

*Suns fan: sometimes other teams play games in September.

It's not the fact that Timmy gets outbodied by other ruckmen. It's the fact he gets outbodied by second ruckmen, which means the Bulldogs midfielders have to guess where the opposition ruck will hit it to which is a problem because most ruckman are not known for their football nous and sparkling intellect. At the last 'AFL Ruck conference' they needed to print the invitations twice because on the first invitations they spelled 'conference' with a 6.

It got so bad last year that Bevo sometimes sent Josh Dunkley into the ruck, almost causing him to leave the club (fortunately he was courted by Essendon who are hard to deal with - Dodo is basically the Karen of trade week). Essendon fans are adamant they dodged a bullet there which could be true, considering in 2021 they achieved the highest team achievement available to the Essendon Football Club - a losing final.

Back to Timmy. He's actually shown some promise as a 'third tall' simply because he's taller than any KPD he faces and can just stick his arms in the air and hope they chop them, which is a free kick. Whenever he does this and the Bulldogs do win a rare free kick, he can normally kick straight which, judging by efforts of other forwards in the team, might be against team rules. Timmy is also a medical miracle, as most guys have an Adam's apple but Timmy has an Adam's watermelon. If his last name was Daniel and he grew up in South Australia, I bet him mum wouldn't let him play unless he wore a helmet over it.

Fun fact: Tim's nickname is 'chilli' as his cheeks turn bright red when given any attention. Chilli is often used as a garnish in Asian cooking, where it is chopped (like Nadia Bartel's breakfast) and sprinkled over dishes to add heat.

Timmy, congratulations on your finals victory last Sunday making you individually more successful than Essendon's last 17 years. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

this will not help us trade the bloke for much. Thanks Mofra.

Player #43 - Reece Conca

Reece Conca is a former pick 6 in the 2010 draft who played 104 games for Richmond before moving to Fremantle after the 2018 season as an Unrestricted Free Agent. 2010 was one of the poorer drafts in the modern era, and it was also dominated by Gold Coast marking the first and last time Gold Coast has dominated anything.

Fremantle had tried to lure Reece in 2013, 2016 and 2017 so their pursuit of him was a little bit like The Notebook which Mofra was forced to sit through once. Enduring that movie was not worth the average blowjob that was promised, and here ends the explanation of why Mofra reviews football and not movies.

Playing as small defender, Conca played all 22 games for Fremantle in 2019. Then 14 games in 2020. This year, that number was reduced to 9 (quite ironic for an ex-Tiger). For those of you who are good at spotting trends, you know where this is heading.
His disposal numbers were up by 1 this year compared to last... from full sized quarters again. He average more clangers but less kicks. Yada yada yada - long story short, he was a 29 year old just clinging onto a spot in a Fremantle team that still relies heavily on Fyfe, Mundy and West Coast's addiction issues to remain relevant.

As well as getting less of the ball, he wasn't quite able to to shut down his opponent either. He was sent back to the WAFL in the middle of 2021 with "Work to do" according to assistant coach David Hale, which meant his game was still ok apart from his disposal and his ability to stop an opponent. The problem is if you're 29 years old , don't offer much rebound and you prove yourself a worse lockdown defender than Dan Andrews' press secretary you just know the writing is on the wall.

Fun fact: Reece was award Richmond's best first year player award in 2011 beating out Dean McDonald, Tom Derickx and pass for the award. He was also in Fremantle's leadership group for a year or two, in surprising news for those who have just learned that Fremantle have a leadership group.

Reece, good luck for the next chapter and well done on playing 150 AFL games. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Leon winner should be an automatic podium finish.

Congratulations Cody Weightman :)

Snozzil was in the podium, probably couldn’t see him behind Goodwin.

That can't be right - this is about sustained poor performance over the season, flash in the pan shitness like Weightman is a dime a dozen.

Wrong otherwise Rohan would have it since 2014.
