Is he a very good centre? Yes

Critta wil add more than being a very good centre. Not many players with more clutch plays in big games. Great young leader and great young fella.

Problem with clown is they don’t understand that you need to strengthen every position, and it’s not like everyone is available in every position at once.
to say yes we will fix the forwards then the spine then the backs, it just doesn’t work like that.

You grab quality players when they’re available and when you can ..

Have a look at the 2 centres we had this season, now look at who we’ll have for next year, if you can’t see the clubs made a huge upgrade you’re blind ..

Stevie Wonder can see we need props, but we can’t just grab whatever’s available and stuff our cap again for the next few years with players just here for the money ..

Betting back to the top is going to require some patience in certain areas ..

I’m so glad Gould & Co. are running the club and not some of these nuffties on here …. can you imagine the damage they’d cause ..

Well said. The way some people talk, it’s as if they think there’s an NRL supermarket where you just go in and pick whichever players you want. It’s far more complicated and includes their current contract status, timing, salary cap and junior ramifications. Yet so often people say let’s get x, y or z. As if it’s that easy lol.

No doubt also expect us to shop at ALDI and expect Myer quality and service.

It's not worth arguing about it with those who are just here for the arguments. I'm not a psychologist or anything. But if I had to guess why internet trolls do so. I'd guess that they lack the ability to feel significant in person. So by picking up whatever line of discussion which goes against the majority thought, they can see the little red notification light up and feel important even though they're having people try to explain simple concepts to them like they're a child.

All they care for is being acknowledged. That little red indicator that they've been noticed gives them a buzz, maybe even a sexual thrill. I don't want to think about it at all. I don't understand how people enjoy going against the grain on every topic.

 

[SexBomb]

Surely this indicates that The Fox is the new captain

Nah, he's probably the lightest, so creates the least drag.

Big ups to reed and fox who have been doing extras together on their days off seen a recent video on fox instagram of him and reed at BSG doing drills this can only be good for the team. I was hoping burton would’ve been there as well as Toby working on their partnership.

Also Kiks been training with Leota,Fisher-Harris.

Curran with Shaun Johnson and others in Nz.

Xerri did a marathon and still doing sprint training with Fabri, those are the ones i have seen so far.

You are aware that your namesake started off in 1977 on the bench, coming on as a utility forward. In 1978 mostly as a second rower, then after a few rounds in 1979 as a prop. He then cemented a prop starting position but he also played hooker.

Lots of Bulldogs greats actually started as utilities off the bench, it’s far from unusual.

Nonsense logic. Very different game 40 odd years ago when league was a part time sport and players were paid peanuts and had a dozen schooners after training. Steve Folkes was a 12 and a bit stone 5/8 who transitioned into an international 2nd rower, Graeme Hughes played every position in the pack, Mark Hughes played 5/8, centre and lock. No end of examples from that era but game has changed dramatically. Pure footballers have been replaced by bulked up athletes.

None of which is of course relevant. An athlete is an athlete, the only difference is they are now full time professionals who train under the guidance of professionals in the various fields of achieving the maximum from each player. A utility player was and still is a utility player, most will at some point in their career cement a reoccurring specialist role, some will remain as a utility and have a long and successful career as such.

The game has changed so much from the 80s it's so much more professional now.And you're right re footballers being replaced by athletes, it's why the general football IQ of players has dropped significantly. I was astonished this year to learn that a lot of players don't watch all the games, kind of shows their level of interest. Athletic prowess doesn't necessarily make you great at all sports . . .We saw the fastest man on the planet (Usain Bolt not the fox) fail miserably at soccer . . .

hopefully the footballers ( players like cameron mcinnes ) don't disappear from the game completely, I still enjoy watching them play and listening to them speak about the game
