How long have we been hearing this ‘Bulldogs DNA’ bullshit?He has the Bulldog DNA, experienced prop.
Klemmer + Tracey. Get the deals done.
From Klemmer Pov his close friends and some of our best players were moved on for one reason or another (before and after salary cap problems) and with how F'd we'd be for years to come due to our salary cap position, little to no chance of playing finals footy, can you really blame him for wanting to bail.How long have we been hearing this ‘Bulldogs DNA’ bullshit?
Klemmer bailed on the club during its toughest time, is that the so called Bulldogs DNA you’re talking about?
Makes metres and isn't going to get dominated in tackles (also has size, aggression), I think I saw he missed less than 10 tackles all this year too. An experienced forward who at worst would do a job for us. We have literally no chance next year with our current middles stocks. I think he'd offer us similar output to King (who I assume 90% of our fan base is fine with). If it stops us getting someone like May for 2025 maybe we don't do it, but it'd help us a lot for next year.I wouldn’t get confused by he’s stats. I’ve watched hes games over last 12 months. Jogs into the line, tries to baby step another couple meters for hes stats. Doesn’t cause any pain to defenders, occasional offload which again isn’t an around corner style. It’s I’ll stand and throw a telegraphed ball out the back, usually with no benefit. Big body, yet a pass from me. Rather a small forward who runs as hard as he can
I held that against him a bit. But given the fact that props are rare as hens teeth on the market right now I'd probably be willing to see him return.How long have we been hearing this ‘Bulldogs DNA’ bullshit?

Just so long as Sharon doesn’t come back with him.Bring him back
He’s stats are very misleading on hes value. Has no impact on anything. Pointless signing, there’s a reason teams try and offload him.Makes metres and isn't going to get dominated in tackles (also has size, aggression), I think I saw he missed less than 10 tackles all this year too.

Knight gave him their player of the year award and only let him go because they desperately needed a half and had both Saifiti brothers + Thompson. Tiger clearing funds to buy a half. He'd be on less money here. For us next year if we pick Klemmer up at the right price (~500k) I think it'd be hard to say he wouldn't add value.He’s stats are very misleading on hes value.

You make some very valid points. I’m still a no on us taking Klemmer back on deck though.Knight gave him their player of the year award and only let him go because they desperately needed a half and had both Saifiti brothers + Thompson.

He was elite when he was with us. Has dropped off big time.I might be biased but i feel he played his best footy whilst at the dogs,
