Hope young Dougie gets 10 or so games this year under his belt...love his aggression and has a good grab on him
Plus the umpires are already on a first name basis with him even though he has yet to play an AFL game. Future Brownlow medallist.Dougal Howard has now moved up to the best young tall we have. He is athletic, can take a mark and he can kick. Some of his ground work has been impressive for a 199cm player. I also hope Dougal gets a taste of AFL footy this year.
You'd better hope the sun comes up tomorrow too. Think you'll be happy on both counts.I also hope Dougal gets a taste of AFL footy this year.
Wow. How fragile. It's safe to say you hit a sore spot.Sorry guys, my diplomatic mission in enemy territory was unsuccessful.
I think we need to settle down. We didn't break Richmond. Their players could have played through it, Dimma just wanted to sit his best 6 players.
Some thought Lobbe was better, he was rucking against Hampson! And maybe broke even. If you're going to be a liability around the ground (which he is) need to atleast win a decent share of taps against a real ruck. How does he miss a target 15m away by 20 meters? Serious issue.
On current form we'd be better off rucking dougal as #1. He can actually jump and if he loses taps atleast he is useful around the ground

Dougal Howard had 10 touches and 7 hit outs against Sydney, and 7 and 3 against Richmond. Do people seriously think he can be a number one AFL ruck at this stage?
Lobbe is far better than his reputation on this board atm, for nothing else than his ability to contest for all game, all season. Ryder has spoiled us.
The AFL's response to Dimma will be interesting. I hope it's not the proverbial 'flogged with a wet lettuce'.I do not think Port supporters need to apologise for anything. You should not go out there to call a game off because some of your star players might get hurt. If Richmond were that worried about key players being injured why pick them in the first place? Hardwick's actions were both unsporting and unfair. They were particularly unfair to Port because they robbed us of a tough last quarter.
There is a bit to be said about integrity in major sport. Supporters like a punt on games, sponsors like to have their products advertised for a full 100 minutes, the AFL likes to meet it's contractual obligations to it's telecast partners and opposing clubs have the right to expect the opposition to be dinkum. All that is jeopardised when half way through the last quarter a coach decides he does not want to play anymore. Make no mistake Hardwick would have pulled even more players had he not been stopped by Mark Evans.
That is two games out of our last four in which our supporters have been shafted. Lyon and Freo turned the last minor round of 2015 into a farce and now Dimma decides to do the same thing. Not good enough!

Hmm..Yeah the Lobbe hate is weird. It is both justified by his terrible form but uncalled for given the love shown to Dougal for less statistical output.
I like the guy. It's just irritating that a big dude like that doesn't hit the packs hard nor does he impact around the ground enough. I'd love to see him destroy somebody inside 50 for trying to block the hole.Hmm..
I was just flicking through stats of last year and nearly every game Lobbe won the hitouts agaianst his direct opponent. In saying that his impact around the ground was less than average on occasions..
Can we settle on "lobbe is awful but he is all we have got" ?
Pretty sure we can all agree there.

The possessions he had were pretty high quality. A couple of good contested clunks and decent physical presence.
Lobbes will always be the number one man this year. But dougs might even be a sneaky round one chance. It would have to be a defender left out.
Straight into the waaaaammmmbbbuulllannnccee.......Wow. How fragile. It's safe to say you hit a sore spot.
