Team vs. Bulldogs

[WilliamPowell]

Tambo in career best form as a running defender....now on forward line

Don't worry about where they get named mat073. I don't hink he was named on the HBF last week, he just played there 

Cogs too slow for Bulldogs and Edihad 

Agree.... actually if our next coach wants to make a tough call, there's one right there 

Nahas being injured just tops off my year   

Poor Robbie - the excitement machine missing 

Very poor "INS" for mine.. Staggering actually

Cogs, McMahon included and Gus not....perhaps the tanking has already begun!  

Looks like it 

[Jackstar is back]

the ins are horrible. WP and Jackstar agree once again

Actually the more I look at them the more they beggar belief.

I would have thought in TW's final game it would have been a good opportunity to blood our No 1 pick from last year's draft.

A career starts while another ends.............. see I am just a sentimental OLD fool

McMahon.
I doubt whether you will see McMahon or Pettifer in yellow and black ever again after this week,
Mail is that Pettifer had talks with West Coast and Freo last week.

What sort of deal are we talking? 3rd round pick will be sufficient

That I dont know, only told he spoke to both last week

Before we get too emotional about how bad the INS are, great to see Rance back and surely coghlan deserves to see the year out to prove his pace isn't an issue. McMahon well it wouldn't be a Wallace game without a poor selection - Been atrocious this year.

[WA Tiger]

Well he has played the cattle he has available. Do some of you really think the "caretaker coach" will come in and play; Gourdis, Putt, Post (I would love to see it)..... do I need to go on. The "caretaker coach" will want to look good and if McMahon or Petts or Cogs plays well in the seconds then they will play them. How about Sarge actually strings a few good games together before he is selected........ actually I wouldn't select him because he is crap and must be traded for a last round pick, who cares.

Obviousley the board isn't that focused pushing the coach to select youth or this game would have included more of them.

I am very happy that RANCE is back but the other 2 ...errrr... Nope

i dont understand why you have cogs in the gun, he is in our best by a mile, who cares if he lacks a bit of pace, so does cameron ling and greg williams was a fantastic player as ratten, neither quick. jobe watson is kicking butt at the moment but cant run

cogs is a gun and its guys like white who u love that should be gone not cogs

TT - Best way I can put it is to say "I could ask you the same about Foley."

Take your views of Foley and you'll find that what you criticise Foley for are the same worries I have regarding Cogs

Eg: You are very critical of Foley, in particular his at times very poor disposal.

Cogs' disposal is IMHO just as poor. Paying alot of attention to stats is fraught with danger but having said the Cogs disposal efficiency is around the 55%-60%. That coupled with his lack of pace today with the way the game is played is real concern.

Regarding Watson, he may not be the fastest but his decision making is quick and disposal usually very good. Going back to the dreamtime game, Cogs' decision making was slow, which in turn made the disposal options poor & slow and as I said the pace of the game is very different today than 3 years ago and it is just the speed by foot we are talking about

l'm saying nothing,

nice to see Cogs back Smokey ol fella, hows the chilly side of the country going 

Wagga is still a bloody cold hole. Back in the Sunshine State now and it has been raining all week.  Doh!

[DallasCrane]

One of the worst picked sides I've seen in my time as a supporter.

My 2 biggest concerns about this side:
-Gives me absolutely no hope for the future
-Forward line on paper looks as bad as any of our late 80's line ups.

Throw in the fact that you have lost the pace of White.....and replaced him with....Cogs? 

If it's true that Wallace cleaned out his office last night, it would be a poetic justice if the club told him not to bother turning up tonight, he does not deserve a farewell game, he's getting his money, we owe him nothing.
