There's still hope for Short....Houli's a proven dud....

It's funny watching Short try and cover someones man who is way too tall for him. Sad thing though is you hardly see Houli do that because he doesn't bother trying

Grimes  Rance  Short
McIntosh  Litherland  Yarran
Vlastuin  Barlow Markov
Caddy  Dusty  Lloyd
Rioli  Jack  Edwards

Nankervis  Cotch  Prestia

C. Moore  Lambert  George  Conca

If you don't have AFL standard quality KPP, then don't play them. (Astbury, Griff) Play more like the Bullies did this year and move the ball quickly inside 50.
The bench is a little light on but I'd hope CEllis and Menadue can stand up take their game to the next level.
I understand the perception the bulldogs played short but it aint quite right. Take the G/F they had 5 blokes over 190cm going thru there at various times. Boyd 199, Stringer 192, Cordy 192, Bontompelli  193 and Roughead at 199.They get Crameri back and redpath as well  also have bought in Cloke their options as far as genuine talls goes are many.

But your right we have serious problems if we are relying on Astbury and Griffiths and agree it would be great to not have to play them, but unlike the WB we dont have genuine talls who can come in and maintain good structure.Maybe we need to just play Chol and Callum Moore and see if they can not be fast tracked or if they are even good enough

Not a bad side. Some would be happy that there is no Grigg or Houli. I like the fact that it means that there is competition for those spots. Not sure I like Hampson in the side as I think that is like playing a man short but others disagree. Also some think both Astbury and Griffith are not up to it but I disagree. I few unlucky not to be there but that's good (e.g. Short) as it means competition.

Except I'd want Miles in over Ellis B, I rate hardness at contests over outside run. Especially when the outside run is more often than not one way

In reflection the change would be correct but i do have concerns with Miles lack of defensive run. Winning the hard ball is priority.

I still don't know who the best 22 are but let's have another crack;

Conca         Astbury        Grimes
Markov       Rance           McIntosh
Grigg          Cotchin        B. Ellis
Edwards     Riewoldt       Rioli
Castagna    Martin          Griffiths

Nankervis   Vlastuin       Prestia

Int Caddy Lloyd Miles Butler

No Houli and Hunt please and i would also have Menadue and Short in the side but that won't happen.
