I was wondering why players like Allen, Cotric to name a couple, seemed so good at there previous clubs but now seem to offer very little at Canterbury. I’m not sure it’s entirely their fault.
I thought about ex players like Remis Smith, even the Morris boys and others. Who either prior to or after the bulldogs killed it at other clubs.
The problem is obviously our 9, 7, 6.
Our 1. Be it Meaney or DWZ have been converting on occasions
Our go forward from our pack isn’t perfect but we do get into our fair share of attacking positions in games but really struggle to convert.
I know I’m not saying anything you all don’t already know.
Until we have some experience and talent combined in these half positions our outside backs have no chance.
And I don’t see AddoCarr or Naden looking like the players we know until we fix things.
Even in the past it used to frustrate me how
J Moz rarely got any room to move with the ball, always seemed to get it too late or with no where to go. Lucky with the caliber of player we was, he forced things to happen. Still seems the same now when you see Schoupp Cotric, Allen get it with no space. They mainly gets it as a hit up from our danger zone.
For years the dogs can’t work a backline. It’s shithouse.
We still don’t know who will be the right 9 so it’s JMK for now.
We still don’t know who the 7 should be but maybe the experience of SJ is the key.
Burton will be here next year bringing some talent and X factor.
Im hoping that with getting these positions right we will start to see a backline finally working again for the bulldogs and that players like Cotric, Allen, etc will start looking like the players we hoped we signed.
