when you are matt burton though and all you can do is bomb, and your halves partner cant do anything, it really shows how bad you both are

I'd say it exposes weaknesses in the player and squad, but that doesn't mean they're not good players. Moylan doesn't kick but it's not really a weakness in our side because he doesn't need to. He and Nicho go very nicely together. Blayke doesn't run, but you want him to think about where to send it rather than screwing up the halves play by scooting out willy nilly. Kennedy doesn't support the middle... which is a pet peeve... but it means he can be in position for movements as Moyza and Nicho identify them on the fly rather than floating about trying to be opportunistic.

The Dogs gamplan is to give it to Burton and cross their fingers. Not as good a plan as ours, that's for sure.

the dogs game plan is to give it to an average 6 with no creativity who will through it to a second rower and turn him into a battering ram when he isnt

I'm not optimistic about Kikau kicking on. With his HIA history and the new rule around sitting out games it's a weird gamplan

Would have missed a shittonne of junior games with grass burn to the knees, if they were ever able to get him to ground.

Ponga can be a very dangerous player when he wants to be. But only when he wants to be and that is the problem.

Heard him referred to as a "professional rehabilitator & part-time 1st grader" the other day. Pretty spot on.

If you just need a footy fix, watch the Sharks junior reps from the weekend... or any Qld junior reps (all rep u16 & u18 male and u19 female games are live streamed and can be watched later).

This time next week it will be halftime. Predicting a close one if Nicho's out. Us up by 30 at HT.

Burton is not crap.

But in the Bulldogs system, he is being used as a Mr Do Everything. That may not be the best way of using him but Bulldogs had some cash and threw it at him.

I think there are questions on him being a 5/8 or not. I see him as a centre.

burton is crap at 5/8?

That is last year’s draw and if that’s still up there, that is pretty poor.

Man only just realised I won't be able to watch this live. Going to a comedy show in Newtown which starts at 7pm.
I thought this was on Friday, will have to turn the phone off and watch the replay.
