Western Bulldogs
« on: May 07, 2016, 10:16:15 PM »
I hope Hardwick is watching tonight's game and taking notes on how to play AFL in the current era. 
They are great to watch unlike RFC who are a real grind to watch. 

The players just have such natural flair and look like the enjoy the game.

Our players don't look like they enjoy it.

I think we just need to stop comparing ourselves to other clubs and just concentrate on our own backyard.

I think we need to start comparing ourselves to good clubs instead of Richmond sides of the past and being happy that "at least we're not as bad as they were...."

I think we need to learn from good clubs.

Well all they do is ask themselves "What would Richmond do?" then do the opposite.....lucky we now have George Castagna on board to show us how....

We need to compare the RFC to whoever wins by the most points each week.

This week it should be Melbourne

I mean look at the rookies and it's no surprise they are playing so well.

I can't remember a rookie ever doing so well for us. Perhaps before Mr Hackson came on board.

Miles would be the pick of the bunch with Lambert next in line.
