Showed alot after about half way through the 2nd 1/4, way it was shaping up could have lost by 150 points but showed alot of ticker and had a dip and reckon they outscored the Dogs from that point

Dogs were doing a cbf in 3rd quarter?

Did you hear them saying that bombers were more experienced than the dogs?

10 players over 100 games, less at the dogs

Most likely.
Will is playing VFL but looks a way off for selection and Max is in the 2028 draft class. Not sure how he is doing at underage level

I thought we genuinely cracked in from about halfway through the second and Brad actually made a couple of moves to get us back into it. We won the last quarter too and Bevo would be filthy that they were outworked by us after half time.
The experience Star would be correct, unfortunately we have a lot of senior plodders that somehow keep getting picked. Sooner we start moving them on and playing more kids the better.
Keep playing kids and keep hitting the drafts and maybe things could turn

Off the top of my head
Merrett
Parish
McGrath
Langford
Gresham
Perkins
Wright
Duursma
McKay
Guelfi

I think only 2 of those should be walk up starts and perhaps 3 or 4 others should get games. At least 6 of those I’d delist on the spot or let them rot in the VFL

i dont think the McKay brothers could get a kick in Div 7 amatuers

Duursma seems to do bugger all

Wright could do better with the wright coach

I really think they need Hird back as coach, a former player with some bombers passion

Duursma has played his best footy for us on the wing, he’s a natural and has great endurance. Brad took him off the wing where he has played some excellent games and slots him in the forward line where he looks lost. Playing spuds like Fiorini and Prior on the wings before him is a crime.

As to Hird, after 30+ years of being a member I’d cease being not only a member but of supporting the club if he came back. Don’t want him anywhere near the place
