If his career hadn't run parallel to Bontempelli's I think Macrae would have a couple of B&Fs already.

Would have won 2018 in a canter if not for injury

Michael willson is currently down at the club doing a big photoshoot

he only goes down for big contract announcements

Maybe it was for Alice Edmonds

Good little segment outlining the Dogs defensive game this year. (Starts 16:22)

Some glowing reviews on Khamis who has taken the most intercept marks in the competition since round 1 (LJ 2nd).

Impressively, no player has generated more scores from intercept marks than Buku this year. Very promising stuff.

Has been absolutely enormous behind the ball and is making the right decisions with ball in hand. Night and day from the dreaded Keath, Bruce, Gardener lineups last year.

It was pretty silly to play Buku forward last year. We were crying out for intercept marking in the backline and he was an undersized lead/mark forward/ruck who benefitted from being our main target at vfl level. He never had a legit chance at playing afl in that position and was stitched up in the one game we tried him in. I don’t buy that he learned some important lesson last year as a forward that has translated to his backline form this year either.

Anyway. He’s great to watch, really confident in his positioning and attack on the game. We have lacked that for a long time. We used to spend every week watching Cordy and Gardner play from behind and get beat week in week out.

Been some fails this year but individually Buku definitely a success so far.

At least we can sit here and not think Lobb’s contract is a major issue.

Either he stays with us as quality depth (as shown last week) on average to slightly above average wages, or he moves to a 4th club in a situation where we can probably demand a second round pick for a wanted player. Lobb is who he is at this point.

I don’t think spending time in the VFL is a major issue for his trade value. Every club knows why it’s happening, we have a unicorn in Darcy on our list.

I have just been told that now B.Smith is re-integrating into the football club and is ramping up his workloads without any unexpected setbacks negotiations between his management and the club have begun again for the first time since his injury with things initially looking positive.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Harvey Gallagher manager said on Gettable that the club have tabled a contract offer. Discussions are moving in the right direction and he expects something will get done

Just hope we get more than a late first when he goes to the pies

I wonder if there's any chance he actually plays this year? I know it's been stated that we have a pick in the mid-season draft but I don't recall us putting Smith on the LTI list, as he did his knee in December.

Perfect fit for the demons and pies.

I reckon Saints and Dees would need him the most.

2 years to go on his deal drives up his value too. Happy to keep him though.

No chance he plays this year.

I'd like to keep Rory. He cops a bit of a bad rap sometimes, but I like what he brings to the team most of the time.

Baker = Lots. Smith = Not lots. Interesting

Been a Khamis fan on here for years, should have played HBF last season. Anyone could see Khamis had ability.

now now lads
March 7th:

I don't have much on the ITK anymore

but got told all three are staying earlier this year

I'm riding that one to the bank

Now 100% guarantee that all three will leave since I'm drumming myself up

All youse claiming firsts on the Smith updates are wrong. These two media pros picking over our "small club" undead corpse, lay it all out and make a not very compelling argument that Smith is going to a "big club."

Amazing how McClure can look so perpetually smug when he is proven wrong constantly.

Lost it to Hunter once because of injury as well.

He’s been pretty good but he ain’t getting Bont money.

Just sign, Harvey.
