+x+x+x+x+x+xWhoever is coaching next season, we should have our best squad for 5-7 years. If I am giving marks out of 10. 2018 - 5/10, 2019 4/10, 2020 4/10, 2021 5/10, 2022 6.5/10, 2023 8/10, perhaps 8.5/10. In 2022 6.5 should mean finishing 10th-14th. We are underachieving, but not massively. In 2023 8/10 should mean 7th-10th. Judging over/under achievement starts from that base. And if we aren't 8/10 recruitment and retention has some questions to answer. Everyone sees it differently, but fewer excuses next season. It's a 16 team comp and you gave us 5/10 in 2021 (spoon year) and 4/10 in 2020 (equal last). I was expecting you to give us 0.5 / 10 4/10 is more or less spoon material, no NRL side is much worse than that on my ratings. The difference between 9/10 and 10/10 is the coach, 10/10 likely to win the comp. When a club is 4/10 we mostly want the coach to be improving players, the salary cap needs to be sorted, scouting, development, retention and recruitment run well. The hard part of the rebuild should be over, I hope it is. I was hoping to be 7/10 this season, the coach and recruitment haven't got everything right. Dufty is a gamble, a free roll of the dice with little to lose, it might still come off. But we might have been better advised to go all in for Hynes, or if we couldn't get him sign Hastings. Burns and Naden are the unnecessary signings, I was all for Naden, but we might have been able to save some money here. Most probably we just wanted to add NRL experience to a young inexperienced side. Naden is garbage. Was never a fan of him. Dufty I have been a fan of, but was always aware that he can win you and cost you games. Everyone wants to get rid of Dufty due to his errors and lack of body on line plays, but the reality is he is our only real chance of constructed tries. Burton and Flanno are incapable, so I keep telling people, the time to let Dufty go is only when we have adequate halves or a better fullback than him. I certainly can't see out team improving if we go back to a solid but non x-factor fullback. Whoever we end up replacing Dufty with, must be a ball playing fullback. We cannot have an Edwards like Penrith coz we don't have a Cleary and Luai There is no better illustration of the value of a good spine than Fifita at the titans. A spine of Sexton, Smith, Clark and Brimson, makes ours look good. As a result no good ball or movements for Fifita and he has to run through half the opposition, who are waiting for him, every time he gets the ball. Someone like Fifita or Kicks could also make our halves look better. IMO TPJ tends to get the ball standing still, not a classic running 2nd rower, Wardell doesn't have much tackle busting abilty. A half with good combinations with a quality backrower and centre has a lot more options. I don't think it works that way

Good to see RFM back, I hope he has the success he deserves.
We have missed RFM, Hetherington and Doorey.

A great article on the importance of players in motion. Des had us playing this way in his first couple of years. No Bulldogs coach has done it since.
We have the team to do this. Just need more players in motion.
Or we need a brilliant halfback and lock. That can help Baz play the Panthers style. Unfortunately I can’t see us buying a halfback or lock as good as Cleary or Yeo

I’ll add that Cronulla will not be able to continue to play the style of footy they currently are playing. They waste huge energy levels in attack both physically and mentally. And when teams work out their go to plays. They will struggle.
It’s the same reason most teams defend our attack so effortlessly. We copy the Panthers system but do it slowly. And every coach has been working on stopping their system the last couple of years.

Our support play was hot and cold with Des coaching. Our success 2012 was mostly Ben Barba. People over complicate football, most plays are a playmaker hitting a support at the right time, the team needs 3-4 players in that area in motion, ideally including the playmaker. Fullbacks, halves and hookers should support up the middle and occasionally loop around to the outside. Backrowers and centres should be looking to hit holes on the edges. A good hooker can often create an overlap on the short side. Attack is a fulldeck of 52 cards, when the coach limits the team to 4 cards, that is easy to defend. Our attack this year has more variety than we have had for ages. The main problems are moving the ball too slowly, going wide too often, too many cut out passes to the winger, and not executing well. Half is still a problem for us, play selection and kicking game. If I am honest Flanno and Burton stuggle a bit with decision making, Averillo and Wakeham not any better, except for occasional variety from Wakeham. Burton is so talented that he can make something out of nothing and his running threat is key.

The style I am suggesting "traditional footy" is hard to defend, no amount of review can prime the defence, becuase the attack uses a lof of variety and on the edge defenders need to make decisions, especially if the ball runner needs a 2 man tackle. A lot of block plays were borderline obstructions, coaches preferred to move the chess pieces rather than let players make decisions. IMO the Storm plays a great style becuase players make decisions, the coaching in attack seems pared right back. Good players have good instincts.

+xWell well well… I see Villi traded Adam Elliot into his Supercoach side… Admittedly at $435K… Also see Tolman has reclaimed the 10 for the on fire Sharks…
#BDPtoo…
At some stage the sharks are gonna get serious about contending for the title and at that point they'll drop Tolman.

Not enough decoy runners. I think that leads to our slow ball movement.
My point is that the players are not the problem. It’s the coaching. And it’s a simple fix.
Flanno had Cronulla playing a fast paced game. And I’m sure if he took over with the talent we have the success would be instant.

Towards the end of Des's coaching stint, we did slow block plays, or slow one out runs with no support. Players in motion happened occasionally over the years with all coaches. You seem to think changing the coach is a silver bullet. Lack of support often comes from too much defence which in turn has multiple causes. Our attack towards the end of Des's coaching stint was called DesBall for a reason, it is the most brain dead footy I have ever seen. Nominally the coach was in charge and responsible.

I don't know why we are constantly discussing Des, I am happy to not discuss Des.
With the same selected team and the same fitness levels, IMO a new coach will get similar results in attack unless we change improve our execution.
The changes we in style should make we sometimes do or halves are in good positions and have adequate time to do the plays. We need halves and ball runners on the same page.
The inside pass to Dufty is one example, we have tried it a few times but never executed it crisply. Get the execution right results will follow.
I also think that Burton is inclined to pass to JAC and our attack looked better when JAC positioned himself in the centres, smart play. Our halves and Dufty have plenty of opportunities to pass to Averillo and Schoupp. I doubt that Baz's instruction is to ignore them.

We had reasonable seasons, not always brilliant but reasonable, during the Kimmorley/Hodkinson years. This was the last time we had specialist competent halfbacks. Does this tell us something? Yes it does, specifically Kimmorley. When Des took over in 2012 we had a good team lacking a halfback due to Kimmorley's unfortunate injurty. We targeted DCE then signed Hodkinson who was also unfortunately injured a lot. We replaced Ennis with Lichaa, Barba flammed out. All of a sudden we didn't have good options in 9,7,6,1 this season the spine is actually better than most of those years. We signed T-Rex when we had Pritchard and Eastwood, let Taupau and Finucane go, Klemmer saw the writing on the wall and bailed on a sinking ship. This season Vaughan and Thompson are doing their bit, as are most of the forwards. Burton is great, we don't yet have the half or hooker we want. Dufty probably isn't the answer at fullback. But we might have a good 9,7,6,1 next season.

Sherwin, Lamb and Mortimer were pretty good as well 😉 the times when we didn’t have a good halfback were terrible. And you’re right. We haven’t had a good one since Hodkinson.

An experienced halfback would work wonders for our team. Similar to the Cowboys and the Broncos. Both teams have improved greatly because of Townsend and Reynolds.

Time for Gallen to hang up the gloves now, unless he can get one big money celebrity fight. Maybe SBW. He's out of his depth against active fair dinkum fighters. There's no future in being tough and taking the punishment he does.

Lol. Just heard that Ampol will give $500 for every try scored across all Magic Round games towards flood relief.
Looks like the Dogs vs Knights won't break the bank!
Poor flood relief people..
They cop it from natural events and then they can even be helped by the Dogs.

+xLol. Just heard that Ampol will give $500 for every try scored across all Magic Round games towards flood relief. Looks like the Dogs vs Knights won't break the bank! Poor flood relief people.. They cop it from natural events and then they can even be helped by the Dogs. Our defence, rather than our attack, may be the biggest contributor.

Tell the boys to pack their, snorkels, masks and flippers.
Naden might have more joy catching the ball with his flippers. So wear them on his hands.
Hook our legs around the Knights and drag them under, that counts as a tackle. 😉

Averillo being left out for Okunbor, probably just wanting more size in the wet.
Conditions will probably impact how the game is played. A grind more likely than free flowing football.
I'll need to start on the Ark over the weekend.

You know you're in trouble when you applaud good play by a couple of your players when they don't drop the ball.
