What really hurts is that the best player for the Bulldogs is Adam Treloar who should be playing for us. The other factor is Bontempelli who rested up last week to play us this week. He always kills us. Plus we lose our captain before the game and we had to put up with the flak from Lumumber’s racism allegations during the week. We’re seriously undermanned and there’s no much we can do about it until we get a few players back and the younger players coming through put on a bit of weight. I’m not discouraged. The game was over at quarter time. Our players wanted to win and played the game out to the end. What I hope is the players are hurt by the loss and are itching to get back onto the training track to improve their game. Poulter and MaCrae are going to be better for the run in the seniors. Tyler Brown needs to have more strings to his bow than just a tackler. Crisp is having a great year. Noble plays his guts out. Cameron keeps improving as a centre bounce ruckman. The scoreboard looks bad. However it’s not as bad as it looks.

Must be better than Cox.
Everyone keeps telling me that.
He’s really not up to it as a ruckman.He can barely win a hit out.I think at this stage Cox is a better option as a ruckman.

Sadly he is. That's how far Cox has fallen away. You're kidding yourself if you think he offers anything going forward.

This is so obvious that it makes me so angry
Play Cox for the next 5 weeks.
If he is no good ...delist him.
Beggs is not even VFL material.

Not better, short sighted.
If the dogs had scrapped English when he was a kid and towled up by Grundy for an old statesmen in the list, he wouldn’t have surpassed Grundy in a few short seasons.
Not saying Begg has it (far to green to tell) but no gain in playing Cox.
I agree Cox is done we ain’t going to be premiers , give the kid a chance

Mate I don't think anyone could be worse than Beggs at the moment.
His stats are worst by far compared to Cox

Ive been saying this too, but the Beggs brigade jump down ones throat, the kids confidence is being utterly destroyed, this is not good for his develpment, big men take a long time to develop, as Lou Richards said often. :idea:

Most football comps around the world. Clubs are big and rich because their past success and good administration have enabled them to accumulate finances to get the best players to entertain their fans. Crap admins get relegated.
