Official Round 7 - Bulldog v Eel - Team List + Match Discussion

[The__GM]

I can’t wait to see Flanagan unleash the “Crab Across the field move, then pass behind to a team mate that isn’t expecting it only to get smashed”

Then if that’s not enough action by Flanagan in the red zone… his off the mark 0 to 5klm right foot step into traffic to slow the attacking play down is a sure winner.

The day Flanagan learns how to manipulate the D line and open up gaps for his outside men is the day I DM Sydney Sweeney asking her to date me and she replies saying sure let's do it.

 

[Raikkonen]

Missing a lot of strike without fox

Alamoti is inexperienced and just had his edge picked apart by Souffs, after the forced reshuffle. Putting experience on his outside in Burns is probably the right move. People suggesting Okunbor play there are forgetting what he was like on the wing. He's a big body. Putting him in the middle and simplifying his game has been really good for him.

She's actually in Australia right now. I hope, for your sake, Flanno has a blinder this week.

 

[Doggfather]

We should get the job done on Sunday.

Overall a solid lineup. As much as I despise Flanagan, his defence is needed and his lack of creativity in attack Reynolds makes up for later in the game.

Realistically there is no other option.

Burns was the obvious choice instead of shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic and moving the team around.

It takes months to build combinations and consistency, Ciraldo is smart.

This is followed by a flat pass, which gets one of our boys tackled or a rushed pass that goes nowhere.

I don't dislike Burton, I just expect more from him now that he has been made captain and has a 3m+ contract.

I’m Burton’s biggest fan, think he will eventually be one of our best. But this is more than fair.

 

[bradyk]

After Shark our draw opens up a bit. Perfect time for Flanagan to be dropped for Oloapu (or anyone else for that matter) .

 

[KiwiDog7]

Burns whilst not express pace is quick enough to finish opportunities on our line attacks

He’s strong carry and likes an offload so will be good coming out of yardage

For the millionth time Mahoney is the clear and definitive captain. Burton is the co-captain in title only. I don't know why you keep bringing it up. Could you even name the vice captain at most other clubs? It's irrelevant.

 

[ddt192]

That’s more like it.

UP THE DOGS

 

[flamebouyant]

Why the fuck isn’t Hughes and morrin playing

I think its because the coach didnt pick them......

 

[stingray]

Surprised tpj is in starting line up despite not playing this year,don’t mind burns on wing

 

[Moey]

Can't wait for Paulo and RCG to snap him in half

They probably will

all the haters have good reason to not be happy.
it’s nothing personal agaisnt him.

I know mate, i just wanted to be a smart ass.

Being we will never win comp this year, i enjoy having Reynolds having a swan song year. Last link to an Era where we resembled a footy team and we actually won.

He's co captain with Mahoney, Ciraldo literally said it.

 

[Interestingg]

Fox is a huge loss but hopefully Pangai’s offloads can spark our attack instead. I wonder what Burtons go-to play will be now that he can’t kick to the fox on the 2nd tackle

He can't defend space though and that's exactly what our wingers need to do. Fox has been carrying out left edge in defence since he got here. We don't really have another option though.

I know he's officially the co-captain. I'm saying Mahoney is the actual captain and Burton is basically the vice captain. Mahoney always talks to the refs. He leads the team out. He's by far the most vocal on the team... Even if Mahoney missed a game, I wouldn't be surprised if King or RFM were made captain instead of Burton..

Because they're real leaders, Burton is not.

They probably will

what you mean? Mate we spend our Hard earn cash on going to the games, our time going to the games I don’t won’t nobody just taking a spot for a swan song year.
he can do that in reserve grade.
Actually not even let the young boys play
