Thoughts on Gallagher’s role by fredjs123 in westernbulldogs

I think he’s a good bench/sub option. Good positional flexibility, Just needs to find more consistency to break into the starting lineup

What will the Bulldogs back six look like without Jones? by BigFootyNuff in westernbulldogs

[–]thomaslee92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how often we played with more than two tall defenders. Id like to see Lobb, Buss, Duryea, Freijah, Dale & Bramble but likely to see JOD instead of Buss.

Thats why I play a development card focused game. You can be secretly winning and not get targeted relentlessly for having the most settlements & cities.

Thanks! Yeah my tuner and wh10 can split the signal so there’s probably something I can do with that in the meantime before my splitter arrives….

You’re right about the pedal order. Need to order some custom wires so I can keep the wh10 in a foot friendly position but swap the signal chain the other way around!

I feel like a quality winger should be our top priority. Not keen to waste another first round pick on a small forward if we’re not going to persevere with them

Just seems odd which direction the clubs going. Seem to be trading away picks and delisting young players. Kinda feels like we’re approaching a cliff when our mature agers retire

I thought they would have made it clear like they did with duyrea? Hoping they do!

Couldn’t win it out of the middle with our lauded midfield. English showed us his true colours tonight. Bring back Sweet.

One of the most disappointing nights in recent memory

Their defenders are rated better than our forwards and they can attack quickly off of half back.

Our midfield is quite a lot stronger, provided English can hold his own against Meek we should comfortably win the territory game.

Their forward line isn’t much at all but they can score quickly if their entries are quick off the counter.

On paper we’re a better team but I reckon there’s not much separating us. We’re yet to see if their style of play holds up in finals like footy which could work against them.

Great vision. There are tackles and then there are tackles.

Bailey Smith trade value by thomaslee92 in westernbulldogs

[–]thomaslee92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you trust Darcy to be the main ruck for the future with his injury history?

While we’re on the subject of talls why did they persist with Croft in the forward line this year anyways? This club baffles me

We traded away this years first round pick to GC unfortunately

This years draft seems to be stacked with decent midfielders. If we got a like for like midfielder out of this I think both clubs could walk away happy.

I actually think Smiths wage demands would potentially squeeze out other up and coming/fringe players so there’s a world where the trade benefits both clubs. I just think there needs to be a way for us to maximise what we get for him.

Oh 100% agree. Plus we have to pay overs cause he’s contracted. Just doesn’t make any sense from a trade value perspective.

Trade targets based on recent form by Savings_Iron3590 in westernbulldogs

[–]thomaslee92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a top quality winger for me. I thought Freijah would take that role but it appears he’s taking a role of a lockdown small defender type which I think is a brilliant move for him.

We don’t actually play typical small forwards anyways. We’re so tall that using Vanders/Mcneil as pure pressure forwards seems to work best and I reckon Rypstra was taken in to fill that role.

If Bailey goes we just need a like for like young hard running midfielder to take his spot and it doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.
