I think most of us have been questioning Wood's spot in our 22 for a few years now. Fantastic player but I worry that he's cooked and we tend to carry cooked players for too long imo.
No offence personally aimed at you but...
Jesus you guys have memories like goldfish - he was our best player in the loss to St Kilda in the final last year.

Stevo also said Wood out at least a month (rather than up to), and Treloar was inside on the bike during the latest training session
hopefully Wood will be fit to to play Round one , Some with Treloar he has a date with his old club and I want to see him tear them a new one
 
Sam Hayes is contracted till 2023 Sydney were trying to get him as apart of the Aliir Aliir trade port Adelaide shut that down real quick. Can’t see port Adelaide even trading him he is part of their future even if he wanted to leave

Everyone has their price. Dunkley was 2 first rounders as a top tier mid. I wouldn’t pay that for Hayes but I would certainly sit in his managers office all year to try to get Port to the negociation table next year. You just never know what might entice Port to consider it but there is nearly always a way. We were adamant on Dunkley but 2 first rounders would have seen him don the sash in 2021 and I’d be renamed Donut Dunkley or similar by now 👍
 
I am bored and I think you should all be warned.

Don't mix lots and lots of Viagra with samurai swords.


Another caution: don't live where I live in Sydney. Inner West is very prone to samurai sword attacks. Both attacks within a couple of Kms from my place.

I saw the body on the road under a cover two blocks away from my place in this earlier case.

I don’t think people are saying he’s 100% finished, more that games like the St Kilda game have been a little thin on the ground in recent seasons.

To be fair Gardner is taller, faster, and higher leap. Needs to keep developing/improving but he does have those over Cordy.
And Wallis is slow, short for a footballer, can't kick too far and barely gets off the ground... yet he wa sour most effective forward last year.

Cordy has natural aggression and football instincts. They tend to beat pure athletes.
Ryan Gardner does have ticker though - meticulous trainer and was a DFA and a rookie (the types we used to celebrate). I just hope he can learn the nuances of the game because right now that is what he lacks. Composure should come in time.

I'd really rather chase McAsey (like a few clubs are).
Get Alex Keath in his ear about how much better the bulldogs are to play for

Fair enough but just remember - It's nigh on impossible for backmen to impress the layman. Their mistakes are amplified more than any other position on the ground and when they play a great game you are likely to hardly notice them. I feel a lot better with Wood in the team.
 
Just before covid came I emailed the club store and they confirmed they can do number printing if that helps.

Was going to go in to the store to get last seasons, but never happened after the drama. May be worth contacting them to make sure they still do it but I’m sure they can

edit - a few years back I was able to order them with the numbers, not sure why they removed that option though. Got Libba 21 around 2014/15 (got him to sign it at a WA open training session :D ) and got a Bont 4 in 2017 with the gold premiership badge
Oh sweet, thank you. Been wondering for ages how to get this done.

Gardner more and more reminds me of Mark Bolton ex Bombre. He ended up playing 124 games. Fast , skinny and a bit of a battler who improved over time. Fingers crossed.

Probably the most random and out of context thing I’ve ever seen posted on bigfooty.
 
Wood is not quite cooked but he's getting a nice char on him. dropping too many marks and losing his feet too often.

im waiting for Bevo's inevitable early season selections of the track flyers who arent best 22 (Hayes, Gardner etc), a mediocre start to the season, then start picking best 22 in the second half of the season to make a run into the bottom half of the 8, rinse/repeat, always repeat.

in fact if Hayes plays round 1 i'll spew up.

Not sure why but I can't stop laughing at this
