The system that is the AFL draft meant it wasn't in our club's best interest to win. We can go all out next week now having secured the optimum trading-drafting position as well as adding weight to our Priority Pick argument. It's not how any of us really want it but it is the reality.
Agree...Bulldogs are woeful, our problem was our lack of method getting it forward where we had the talent in front of goals to win the game but just broke down
bringing the ball in and players like Charlie, Harry were left in the cold waiting...Harry showed a bit today IMO as did the flying dutchman TDK..
The other problem we had was the usual one where the opposition better players just roamed around on their own...JJ and Hunter burned us all day but we seemed powerless to stop them.
Lucky the Bont was injured and less effective even though he 37 possies, Cripps was his usual busy self but Murphy, SPS and Dow did SFA for most for most of the day.....
Lucky also that Marchbank, Daisy and Simpson were good down back and the Dogs were as inept as us down delivering the ball.....Weitering had a shocker error wise and looked like he was on valium he was that slow and out to it...zero awareness at times...
