A visual representation of the Bulldogs spine for the past four seasons

[jof]

I decided to knock this up to show just how much chopping and changing of the spine the team has had for the last two seasons and how much, or little, opportunity various players have had to prove themselves in their roles.

Absolutely insane. This also doesn’t include how many times Cogger/ Wakeham rode the bench as well.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

Last week had the same spine as Round 2 2019.

That’s shocking.

Good work mate. After all the chopping and changing it astonishes me that no player have taken the bull by the horns and owned their position. Players need to take responsibility as much as the coaching staff for not developing them into good players to play at this level. ie, Panthers. Nothing more needs to be said with this comparison.

If you can do a chart on how many times Tolman hit it up on 4th tackle inside and outside the attacking 20mtr zone i have no doubt there won't be enough colours.

And people want to judge wakeham on that insanity.. he may turn out to be a dud, but please tell me how you can possibly make an accurate assessment on him with that catastrophic man management.... Dean pay and Steve georgallis take a bow you clowns..

We’ve had 11 different spines in 18 games this year alone

Thanks for putting in the effort @jof

From that you'd have to say JMK has well and truly had his chance, Cogger has had some opportunity but I wonder why Pay even signed him based on the number of games played and Meaney has also had a fair number of games, he has some attributes of a fullback but isn't going to be the answer in the long term.

I fear we're still in for some pain in the years ahead.

Lol meaney has strung more games together at FB than Foran

I thought I was the only one who noticed the striking similarity between a mad woman's shit and our spine. Could be twins.

Most teams would have a similar graph. Only difference is most of the guys we’ve used are not only duds but duds we’ve persisted with and will continue to do so as we’ve still got most of them for next year.

Foran’s run of injuries has been the ultimate destabiliser. However just as disappointing has been the fact that all other halves options have failed to make a position their own in the past 3 years despite ample opportunity.

Wakeham has had 2 more games than Cogger to step up. It's a bit unfortunate that we've got no lower grades for youngsters to find form. And that graph also makes Foran look pretty reliable. But he's actually not finished a few of those games and we've been carrying a half on the bench more often than we should this year.

How did you figure that out? Coggers had 19 and wakeham 7...
I'm not making a point who's better.. I actually think cogger is the best of the rest behind Foran... I'm just saying wakeham hasn't been given a fair go and appears to have been managed rather poorly.

Entirely basing my statement on this season. Pretty sure that Wakeham has also been on the bench more frequently this year too.
