Competitions Round 1 Lineup vs Fremantle - CLOSING TONIGHT!! 9.00pm. GET YOUR FINAL TEAMS IN BY THEN

[Mofra]

Boys we all have players we don't rate - for me it's Campbell, Biggs and Prudden. Let's relax about MD - he doesn't rate the 3 players, it's cool.

Biggs?
I thinks he's locked into round 1 - hence his rest from NAB 2. Didn't leave the side after making it in last year, I think he's important for us.

Come at me

I concur. Unless shoved down my throat, don't mind dealing with others with opposing views.

For some on this thread, and the forum generally, this may resonate: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/crosse...e-stupid-too-stupid-to-realize-theyre-stupid/

And then there's the Backfire Effect, which describes how some individuals when confronted with evidence that conflicts with their beliefs, come to hold their original position even more strongly.

Touche.

You are so wrong! (Even though you're right).

The draft is over, the trade period is over. At this point I rate every player that puts on the hoops. They are all my favorites. I admit I have some more favorites and less favorites, but they are all still favorites. I trust the coaches and the selection committee as they are the ones that see the players not only in the games but at practice every day. Yes, it is fun to speculate on who will be selected each week but, come game day, I will give my full support to the 22 that are on the field.

I also concur with this.

Come at me

He is firmly in calculations for Round 1.

I just think he's very average.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

He'll probably play, but he's treading water because we've got much better players who are younger on the list.

 

[BRWB]

Yep Biggs is just depth IMO.

 

[Mattdougie]

Touche.

And again

Interested in which players are younger and better than him in the position he plays.....small to medium defender

The players I like, primarily Dale and Webb, aren't as old as him so lack maturity, but I expect their output to be much better than Shane's over the next 12 months. I'm just not a rap for him, but it's just an opinion. I think Adcock and Stevens could play his role better than him and I think Zaine Cordy will be a fantastic medium defender assuming he can put on muscle - he's an aggressive boy and wants to beat the opposition - I really like his competitiveness.

 

[fargy]

My daily rucking thoughts that are bound to change again tomorrow. Have a feeling that it will be one of Roughy/Boyd, and one of Campbell/Minson.

 

[ScragCity]

Sorry but Biggs is still MILES ahead of Webb etc. Blows my mind how under rated he is on this board.

Just to put things into perspective: this guy was AA last year and Biggs stats were comparable.

Wow you're overrating him equally as much as I'm apparently under rating him. Jeebus.

 

[TempleKelvington]

I think Biggs is in calculations because not all of our tall defenders are locks to play round 1. Moz will play tall instead. But if Roberts puts his hand up this week I can't quiet squeeze him in. There is one spot up for grabs as mid/forward and Jong put his hand up last week and Daniel hand is sore because it been in all pre season. I don't see Ronny in that role.

I like Biggs. He will play footy this year for sure. Just with full list available I can't quiet fit him in.

 

[theAthenian]

FOR ALL THOSE STILL RATE THIS PLAYER AND THAT PLAYER

who gives a shit what we think and what we rate
it's bevos call relax he will pick the team
All i rate is the list because lists win premierships
I have never seen a deeper list at the bulldogs
I have never seen such talent
on the senior list there is not one player who some would consider "list cloggers".
Enormous list potential, we conceivably could have 4(established) +3(new)=7 "elites" running around with the majority of the rest being "over average"
We are the youngest bulldogs finals team in my lifetime
All are needed all are worthy to wear the jumper
Minson vs Cambell they both play their roles fit and hungry THEY BOTH ARE LOCKS
jong rat everyone in red white and blue
its the list that wins
all of it

Shane Biggs Vs Michael Walters

Who Replaces Stew = Robert Murphy

Actually have been thinking about this lately, Murph forward as someone who can lead up and back all day. With JJ/Suckling/Boyd/Stevens/Biggs all capable of playing those back roles it may release Murph forward while throwing out a few plans for Freo.

 

[DognBones]

Re Shane Biggs. His stats and contributions were rock solid in the 10 games he played last year and he'll be an important part of the team this year too. He's not the most naturally gifted player around but he allows other players like Murph and JJ to be moved around where they are best needed.

 

[Bulldogs_6]

I disagree with Murph forward. He's our quarter back and needs to see the whole paddock ahead of him.

Would be silly to use him otherwise IMO.
