I think 2-3 weeks in reserve grade will send enough of a message. It’s not been easy being our captain the last 3 years.

How do you drop a guy who is on the books for two more seasons @ $750k a season?

And people keep saying Foran isn't worth $400k!!
It’s a lot of coin mate you are right but I’d say he gets the long service discount towards the cap.

FMD no other c*** out there puts more into the jumper than him , show the bloke some fkn respect , none of you would last 1 tackle
100% we are bottom of the ladder , all our players moral is like what we sitting on the ladder. Jacko gives it his all.

Sorry but he is what the bulldogs are about these days. Good guy, strong trainer and that seems to be good enough. It's rebuild 2.0 with the players we have at the moment, it'll be a while until we see consistent good times.

He a poor one on one defender but a great system defender. Our issue is that we have no organisation.

On one play we had Jackson rush in, Avo hold his line and DWZ stayed out on the wing.

or Elliott for 400-500k.

2 instances early on in the game he had Meaney on his inside and completely ignored him.

Agree that it will be a while until we are a finals team which is why I find it hard to believe that we extended Jackson on a new deal for a player 30 years old. Should be told he should look elsewhere and hopefully Barrett does that

I'd argue Jackson is a good tackler but not a great defender. He'll chop down anyone who runs at him if he's set and in position but he's got the mobility of an 80 year old which sometimes makes him come in when he doesn't need to because he is worried about conceding that half a yard as he won't be able to make it back up

While we're at it Thompson has been very underwhelming considering his price tag since joining us. Can't wait to keep all these forwards offering nothing in attack over Elliott.
