Yeah you would say that
Might have been the time he spent away from the game recovering from the operation, got to spell the horse sometimes.Seems like his hips suddenly came good after the appendix op. He moved noticeably better.
Great article.
A player like Bont winning the time trial is absolutely huge.
It means our best player is having his best pre-season ever and any footballer will tell you that great pre-seasons lead to great seasons.
Oh the horror!Tell that to Libba
https://outline.com/ZSFDbgCan someone who has HeraldSun access please copy and paste the article in today's edition about Bailey Smith having an impact next year...
Thanks in advance Bulldog!
Cheers VD - that is awesome!!
What do they mean in the article "11-th hour meeting with the Bulldogs"? Posters on here had been saying for weeks he was likely to be available at our pick. If our recruiters had been doing their job correctly surely this wasn't the first meeting with Bailey. I hope it was just a poor choice of words by the journalist.

I already put it in the Bailey Smith thread.Can someone who has HeraldSun access please copy and paste the article in today's edition about Bailey Smith having an impact next year...
Thanks in advance Bulldog!
It saves the club a ton of money if they just go to the BF Bulldogs board where there is a slew of data analysts willing to give their two cents worth at no charge.Pretty amazed we didnt already have a data analyst employed...
I think they used to have someone from VU doing for us as part of a doctorate. There was a really good article after the premiership about how they were using computer learning to analyse player and ball movement around packs and finding the best places for players to move to. Might have been part of the reason the handball club was so successful.Pretty amazed we didnt already have a data analyst employed...
Western Bulldogs to employ data analyst to bolster the club’s recruiting department
NOVEMBER 29, 2018Western Bulldogs are hunting a data analyst to bolster their recruiting department and help identify new trends in the game.
In a move which is becoming more popular with clubs, the Dogs are looking for a data scientist or qualified mathematician to support key list management decisions.
The new number-cruncher will be responsible for evaluating the statistical performance of AFL players, teams and potential draftees.
LIST REVIEW: WHO HAS THE OLDEST LIST IN THE AFL?
AWARDS: WHO WILL BE THIS YEAR'S RISING STAR?
FLAG: WHERE IS YOUR CLUB ON THE PREMIERSHIP CLOCK?
Applications for the list and recruiting analytics and innovation manager closed on Wednesday.
Clubs including Hawthorn, Sydney and Adelaide are considered the AFL's frontrunners in this area, while St Kilda recently poached the Hawks’ data analyst Darren O'Shaughnessy and North Melbourne welcomed Champion Data's Glenn Luff.
In particular, O'Shaughnessy has been lauded for his input at Waverley, where the club's ability to stay ahead of the tactical curve was a key plank in their golden premiership reign.
St Kilda football boss Simon Lethlean said it was an area St Kilda wanted to improve in.

We probably lacked some real grunt and analytical smarts that need to be there for us to go to the next level in how we analyse our recruiting, how we analyse our game-plan, match day, and how we utilise all our data, Lethlean said.
“It’s a great coup for the club I reckon, to get a guy of his quality.”
Similarly, the Bulldogs want to bolster their expertise in this area as Luke Beveridge’s men attempt to jump back into the eight next year, after missing finals over the past two seasons.
Specifically, the Bulldogs want someone responsible for analysing and predicting game trends and conducting research projects and analysis relating to player acquisitions.
However, some clubs remain sceptical about the value of this role, and believe a full-time analyst is an unnecessary added expense.
But it paid dividends for Sydney Swans on draft night when an idea masterminded by Swans’ analysist Chris Keane, from GWS Giants, enabled the Swans to pickup academy forward Nick Blakey more cheaply than anticipated.
Sydney temporarily swapped out its second-round pick with West Coast so it didn't have to be used on academy prospect Nick Blakey. Once the forward was secured, the Swans activated another deal with the Eagles to regain a second-round pick.
The AFL has since confirmed it may outlaw similar move in future.

I know it's only basic, but could we employ someone to teach goal kicking? Or do we need an analyst for that?Western Bulldogs to employ data analyst to bolster the club’s recruiting department

Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's expert in list management or scouting. He might be able to write some computer code to machine learn stoppages, but if you ask him. "Ok can you create a formula to compare the relative worth of averaging 15 contested possessions between the WAFL Colts and SANFL U/19", he might have a PhD, but he'd just stare at you blankly, because he wouldn't know how one thing from another from list management. Similarly weighing up the value of draft picks and players against each other, part of the job and now important with future and draft-day trades, wouldn't be his expertise.I think they used to have someone from VU doing for us as part of a doctorate. There was a really good article after the premiership about how they were using computer learning to analyse player and ball movement around packs and finding the best places for players to move to.

Dogs v WCE, early 2000s, on Fox now. We had Rawlings at the time. He kicked 6.
And Sam Power
Coons' first game.
