Got him sacked in the end I reckon

They have clearly recruited to very specific talent needs, and a particular game style instead of just "we must have high picks". But the key is Mitchell, he clearly coaches them to be very relaxed with the ball in hand.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

There is something crook at the bulldogs. That is a seriously talented list.

Absolutely shit outside of kpf and bont and liba

 

[Keystone agony]

For sure but you gotta admit it's still pretty funny.

Tell ya what, Darcy might avoid you apologising

Is that the slightest waiver of doubt I detect?

Meanwhile according to a longtime Blitz poster we offered Jake Kelly a 2 yr contract. If true he did his own version of Dave Myers putting himself into retirement.

yep, surprised the noise surrounding Bevo isn't as loud as it is around Hinkley (Port)

For a list as talented as the Dogs, they have seriously under achieved after potential dynasty talk back in 2016

 

[Nicholas61]

Don't worry they made sure to tell the media they are

Large contingent? Did the others go to Ibiza?

 

[andleanback]

We offered him one year, hawks offered him two, stoked we kept playing Heppell all the leadership

It wasn’t about the years, it was about the fact that Scott didn’t rate him so he wasn’t going to gamble
His future by sitting in the vfl while
Guys like heppell and kelly
Played. Mitchell made him feel valuable and loved

 

[Keystone agony]

Haha nah he will get there

But the Darcy kid looks next level freakishness

Absolutely shit outside of kpf and bont and liba

No bont no dogs, we saw this first hand when Durham bathed him and they shut up shop

Yeah good ball users and high endurance. They are very fit.

It's funny (actually it's depressing), we're the opposite of this

 

[MiguelM]

OK, enough of this, go Port!

I think we have started addressing the endurance part a bit (martin, duursma, duz etc) but boy the first part is concerning. Outside martin and merrett who do we trust with ball in hand?

I don't even trust martin

This is the reply I was about to write word for word.

Watching Hawks field kicking compared to us is embarassing. Our skills coaches need a rocket!

 

[Nicholas61]

At least we finally have one

Its mostly innate. Only in the rarest of cases has it been improved signifcantly.

 

[Nicholas61]

Though imagine Marto in a club that actually develops and cultivates talent rather than destroys by throwing him all over the shop. His kicking earlier days had me thinking of Jarman.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

The thing with martin is at least he goes the aggressive option, it might not always come off but he backs himself.
Mitchell encourages his players to do that.
Scott has coached that out of guys like ridley who just go the short kick or kick down the boundary instead of backing themselves.
