Funny I don't see JUH as having a attitude problem. He's got a confidence problem but he carries himself well attitude wise.
Vandermeer plays as a hard running outside player that needs to use speed to get seperation on a defender when in wide open spaces when transitioning the ball out of a turnover or deep defence. Garcia doesn't have the speed to get a yard on his opponent. He would be far worse than Vandermeer being asked to play the same role, I think that's pretty uncontroversial.And round and round we go. Ok I'll say it bluntly. Garcia would be better in any position than the 3 I mentioned. If you want to go like for like position wise, Garcia is better than Gallagher.
Feel free to put up stats like you do with English to convince me that the 3 I mentioned are superior to Garcia.
It's kinda bizarre. Great stats. Champion data hero. Eye test beaten
The red flag to me is the way he gets so agro at his teammates during games. A poor look and not conducive to a good culture. Can definitely turn that around though. It's one thing I loved about the Pies last year - if someone made a mistake their teammates would get around him and tell him not worry and provide confidence to him. At the moment Marra rages at them and acts like they are useless spuds.Funny I don't see JUH as having a attitude problem. He's got a confidence problem but he carries himself well attitude wise.

I think you underestimate the ruck position.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned watching for just on 60 years it’s still very important.
Back in the day when I played , around the Boer War years, it was the most important position.
Kicking the odd goal is a bonus. But rucks set the tone, they need to have a physical presence.
Often what they offer won’t show on a stat.
I will go as far as saying exchange English for Gawn this year and we would be pushing top 4.
I thought that's the exact reason Pittonet was brought in. Batter Tim early then DK goes head to head with him around the ground.Related Fun fact: if “Tim English’s opponent” (opposing first ruck) were a player, they’d currently be leading the league in hit outs with 589 and hit outs to advantage with 173. For contrast, that’s currently 200 more hit outs than Max Gawn’s opponents. Gawn’s also kicked 9 goals.
That’s with games against Gawn, Grundy, Briggs, Xerri and O’Brien still to come (5 of the top 7 for hit outs) for Tim. And the strong chance he’ll get battered by Pittonet this week.

I'm not confident this week
Ah have you watched a bulldogs game? The bloke constantly throws his arms up in the air and sprays the team mates if he doesn't get the ballFunny I don't see JUH as having a attitude problem. He's got a confidence problem but he carries himself well attitude wise.

Fun Treloar fact.Inside trading Article
EXTENSION LOOMS FOR STAR DOG
ADAM Treloar still has a season to run on a five-year deal since joining the Western Bulldogs, but the club will move to reward the in-form star with an extension in the coming months.
Treloar has played 74 games since being traded from Collingwood at the end of 2020, amid a messy exit from the Magpies, and has produced a career-best season to date in 2024, putting him in All-Australian contention and positioned as Marcus Bontempelli's biggest challenger in the Charles Sutton Medal.
The Bulldogs have held an early discussion on a one-year extension for 2026 and will look to finalise that over the off-season ahead of round one. This time last year, Treloar was regularly linked to a move to a Queensland club to join his partner and daughter in Brisbane, before his manager, Tim Hazell from Vivid Sport, emphatically denied those links on Gettable.
Now his partner, netball star Kim Ravaillion, is moving back to Melbourne after informing the Queensland Firebirds last month that she was retiring. That decision was formally announced on Tuesday, following a decorated career in Super Netball and for the Diamonds.
Treloar was included in the All-Australian squad three times across his five seasons at the Magpies, but never made the final team. This year the 31-year-old has reached new heights.
No one has touched the ball more in 2024 than Treloar, who is averaging 31.9 disposals after round 17 to be ranked equal 16th with Jordan Dawson and Luke Davies-Uniacke in the AFL Coaches Association Player of the Year award on 48 votes and, having been linked to a move with a fourth club, he is now destined to sign a second contract at the Whitten Oval. – Josh Gabelich

I see that with every just about every key forward in every team.Ah have you watched a bulldogs game? The bloke constantly throws his arms up in the air and sprays the team mates if he doesn't get the ball

No club in the league has a no dickhead policyJUH def doesn't fit in our so called no d***head policy
No club in the league has a no dickhead policy
Any claim we may have remotely had to such a policy ended when we traded in Justin Sherman. Plenty of other examples too.No club in the league has a no dickhead policy
Feeling people are jumping the gun a bit on JUH
He needs time to mature as a player and a person.
Is a massive party boy too.JUH def doesn't fit in our so called no d***head policy
