In defence of Sampson and Kozi. Mckay definitely has his moments of being an absolute spaz. Also he can’t deal with the pressure, he’s never slotting a goal in a big finals moment to stop the momentum like Jack did for us numerous times. F Carlton - but I do agree Owies would fit our team, goals a goal no matter who kicks it.just reading the comment, makes you see just what shape are list is in
2 bloody good forwards and 2 players that just make you want to look away in shame
Never heard of a stop gap, while our kids improve.He’s nearly 50, absolute list clogger.
We have Green, Campbell, Mansell and MRJ who could all kick about as many playing at the feet of Carlton forwards + their aged pension hasn’t kicked in.
He’ll be 30 by the time we are competing for finals unless a miracle happens. Would rather we develop the players we have.
Taylor Hunt.. now there is a bad memoryNever heard of a stop gap, while our kids improve.
We had guys like Taylor Hunt play a lot of football in 2015/2016.
For when we were ready with our best team in 2017.
Matt Owies could really help us in the short term. we losing a lot of experience he will cost nothing.
Carroll can play. Very promising along with Moir.I don’t know these guys well enough but not sure Saints capitalising on Carlton’s horrendous treatment of Paddy Dow says it’s a goldmine there

How many you reckon he would have got at the feet of Samson and Kozi rather than Curnow and McKay?
Hampson actually proved handy as Maric went down with a back in the pre-season & never played again. you need players to tow the line when you are down performing bad as a club.Basically the entire reason we didn’t succeed earlier was our continued recruitment of list cloggers like Miller, Hunt, Hislop, Thomson, Hampson.
That’s exactly what they found in the 2016 review. They said the match committee kept on identifying weaknesses in young players to keep them out of the team and the likes of Taylor Hunt were played instead. It’s no surprise that once we started playing the kids we won flags.
Maurice doesn't kick enough goals, he is strictly defensive forward.Not on board with the Owies chat as a Carlton mate of mine says "MOWIESSS" in the group chat whenever he kicks a goal and it makes me want to scratch out my eyes and find the nearest bridge.
In all seriousness though, our small forward stocks are not really cause for concern right now. I'd rather we just draft an Askew with one of our later picks rather than trying to recruit an ageing role player.
They tightened the rules IIRC after the Suns did that.Are you sure?
Gold Coasts first trade of the 2023 draft was pick 24 for pick 30, 51, 54 and 65, and they entered the draft with 6 picks. Meaning they must have had 9 senior list spots available to take on those additional 3 picks.
I would have thought Taylor Hunt was one of the reasons why we were so bad in 2016.Never heard of a stop gap, while our kids improve.

He wasn't a great player but he added work-rate & run, his skills weren't great but I still thought he was handy for a couple of years.I would have thought Taylor Hunt was one of the reasons why we were so bad in 2016.
No more playing older players who are not ever going to take us places over a young kid who might.
not us mate.. we love swimming in our world of draft pick'sNo disrespect to you guys, but you are at a low point. Every Bulldogs fan I know would rather Bailey Smith goes to you guys for free, than get screwed unders by Geelong, a potential rival.
You've kind of missed my point.Sorry RT you’ve really lost me on this one. No one is giving them picks 21, 29, 39, 41 etc. for 14. They will have to trade out both 14 and at minimum a future 2nd to get the points in they need.
There is 100% chance they will trade 14 because they will get more points than it’s worth. My understanding is that they can live trade in more picks than they have list spots, I believe this is what GC did last year.
Their best option is probably to trade us pick 14 for picks 29, 39, 41 pre-draft. Those picks will end up being worth between 1300-1450 depending on FA compo. So roughly a 200-300 point increase for Brisbane. They also have 52 which will probably be worth around 200 points. Obviously 1500-1650 points is not necessarily enough to match an Ashcroft bid so when the draft starts they will live trade their future second for a couple of picks that give them more than 2000 points in total. Let’s say they bring in another 600 points so they have between 2100 and 2250 points.
That covers a bid at pick 2 but if they get lucky and Norf don’t bid and we have pick 3, they won’t get a bid until 4-5 which will cost them 1500-1600 points.
This leaves them with between 500-750 points to match Marshall. If Marshall is expected to go 15-25 they will probably let it ride and just take the negative points if he goes earlier which wouldn’t be more than a couple hundred.
If they get unlucky and Ashcroft bid is at pick 2, then they would potentially look at trading their future first. We might be able to jump in on something like this by trading our future second + 47 and 57 for their future first. That will be around 450 points worth and they will know our pick will be very early second round, only risk for them is if they suck next year.
Of course if they win the flag this year their pick could end up being 19 after FA compo and we could then look at getting both pick 19 and their future first. We would just need to obtain a pick or pick upgrades to get it done.
cannot imagine many players wanting to come across to us right now unfortunately.No disrespect to you guys, but you are at a low point. Every Bulldogs fan I know would rather Bailey Smith goes to you guys for free, than get screwed unders by Geelong, a potential rival.
Pre season draft, you basically give up nothing.not us mate.. we love swimming in our world of draft pick's
he will get to geelong.. unfortunately for you guys
No way I'd have Sniff the ball butcher anywhere near the club, 2 x 1sts from the Scats would get it done.Pre season draft, you basically give up nothing.

100% right. A small forward should kick a bag under Sampson. He certainly is not going to mark it. Ball should come to ground every time. A quality crumbing forward will workout that he just needs to run to the side of the one handed attempt at a mark.hed kick 150 at mr cinder block hands' feet because you can be damn sure there aint gonna be any marks taken
