Not to forget the ANZAC Day clash v Richmond at the G where we kicked 10.3 to 0.3 in the first qtr then only just held on to win by 2 pts
I was there too. I was just starting to really notice the footy, my old man was in awe of Jim Edmond that day and commented on how he was able to bring others into the game.

Jim kicked 5 I think in the first quarter and gave a couple away with bullet passes to Beasley. I wasn't there but if I recall correctly a couple of radio stations doubled up on other games and there was only around the ground flash scores of the Dogs match that day. Hated it when the game was on 3UZ, they would cross over to Don Hyde and he would give 30 seconds commentary before they crossed to a race. Even when we kicked that record score in 1978, it was on 3UZ, only got flash scores.

Don't know if this is the right thread but...
Why isn't Bevo being hailed as a genius for dropping Dale and turning him back into an All-Australian!?
You mean the same genius that played a norm smith winning halfback (JJ) as a forward pocket experiment for 2 years, nearly killed his career and then finally put him back to half back ? 🤣🤣

That same Norm Smith Medalist couldn't get a kick in a bar fight after being targeted by opposition teams and we needed to make changes one of which resulted in Dale moving back and JJ forward. I'd argue playing some time as a defensive half forward has made JJ a better defender since moving back and now with Dale and the emergance of Ed Richards we have more attacking options as well.

You're right in what you're saying. But he couldn't get a kick in the forward line either.
If we had any selection integrity back then, he should have been dropped.
 
We have to remember that players aren’t robots . We don’t always know what little injuries they have, what’s going on in their private lives & in their heads . It’s a brutal game & some players have more peaks and troughs than others.

I haven’t given up on CD just yet .
 
I love the commens about why isn't he playing x player as a half back. It even got a run on Footy Classified a couple of weeks ago.

It only misses the issue of having Richards, Dale, JJ and Daniel all as AA quality half backs. Are we supposed to play all of them and no actual defensive players?

Shhhhhh you’re making too much sense.

Buckley got him good the other day when he said McRae got praised for making Sidebottom and Crisp the subs, why is this different? Blabbered about them being more out of form or something.

Or as my horse trainer keeps reminding me , “ they are not machines “
Anyone that has played footy at any level knows how hard it is with any niggle to play to your best.
Unfortunately for CD his size means he needs to be 100% fit !

Buckley is a breath of fresh air, actually. It's much easier to criticise than it is to coach.

Bucks once said of the media: "They're purpose is to write the story, but some of them think they are the story".

Spot on.

Bevo reminds me of this guy with his oft rambling replies to simple questions.

This is about our level for this season, a lot of huffing and puffing but we ain’t getting our hands on the prize .

I don’t know if a change of coach with do anything. I’m just bored of watching this .
 
Are this team coached to be idiots?

There were so many stupid decisions in that game. Maybe we just have low IQ players, because I can’t believe that’s how professional footballers would operate.
 
Disheartening eh?
Khamis a shocker after such a promising start this season..
CD? Terrible..
English.. Soft
And Bont?.. Something definitely not quite right there?
 
Bevo continues to motivate the team to get up once in a while to extend his tenure. We've been a mid range side at best since 2016, bar a decent 3 weeks in 2021. Just * him off already. :sleeping:
Member of dogs since 1982 (Royce Hart era.) Am done. Actually enjoy watching other teams more than my own. Players dont care , Coach is a scatterbrain who gave me one of my greatest memories but reminds me so much of the professor in Back to the future as a scatter brain
 
A list with plenty of individuals with a lot of talent, but most weeks they have no f***** idea how to play together, link up, coordinate (forwards all flying for the same ball) and just meandering through the season again.

That's coaching. F*** him off please. I'm sick of watching my own team and I've never ever felt like that in my more than 35 years following this club.

The worst part is I believe we could be a top 4-6 side, but we need a coaching group that knows what the hell they're doing. We don't have that. Haven't had that for a long time.

Monty, King, Gia and the rest, come on down.
