I'm surprised that Port's is as high as it is with the shit game plan in place.

[Brodlach]

Replace a 30+ with another 30+ very doubtful Clarko would do that

Two things

Jenkins is ‘younger’ as he started playing much later

Clarkson recruited Vickery so anything is possible

He's still 30, doesn't matter when he started!

I disagree, especially those like Jenkins who avoid physical contact

This is only brought up by players trying to get another contract when in their 30's, never a consideration for list managers.

And he’s still useless.

Is that cause we kick it to a small forward, on the bounce, in the pocket, and he picks it up and gets tackled out of bounds? Seems to still be our go to play.

It's atrocious hey? the dumbest part is that we don't even use our fastest players as the ones to run on to it.

Yep I was very surprised to see that this statistics show Port actually aren't that bad when it comes to inside 50 efficiency. Where I saw the article I initially thought Port have to be down the bottom in those kinds of stats.

Don't get carried away, we are still in the bottom 6, just at the upper end of that bottom 6.
Simply put, our entries still suck.

[Armchair expert]

To me it Port looked like they went back to the god awful 2018 gameplan by getting maximum numbers behind the ball and having nothing to kick to, Westhoff is not a key position player and Marshall isn't yet. Its no surprise Crows likely earned the world record for intercept possessions Saturday night.

Further to this, not only are we in the bottom 6 for retaining the ball when we go inside 50, we rank 16th of 18 for converting shots on goal. That is to say, on the odd chance we actually keep the ball and kick a score, it's likely to be a miss given how wide we are in the pockets.

It's a terrible game plan. I hate it.
I understand with Dixon out and our other 'bigs' generally being inexperienced as forward there are limited options for Ken, but I'd prefer we stuck someone up there and tried to play footy and lose, rather than play this terrible BS and lose anyway.

So the Bulldogs will want a ruckman.

So the Bulldogs will want a ruckman.

And have plenty of cap space...

Amazing to think in the 3 years since their flag the dogs have had 3 premiership players all aged 27 or younger retire.

The umpire fraternity will be saddened by this news...
