BT according to doggies website Daniel had a career best 10 marks. "Another player breaking a personal best on the weekend was Caleb Daniel whose ten marks bettered his previous high of eight against the Bombers in round 3, 2018. His 29 disposals were also a season high".

I must have missed that. The record is amended by your post. Sorry Caleb.

[Ozza]

Fancy giving Caleb Daniel so much space that he could mark the footy 10 times in a game!

The Saints may have mistaken Caleb for a dwarf and after what happened in the past they have been warned to steer clear of dwarfs.

Annual Review Part 4 (end)

[bulldogtragic]

As initially said, I started the thread to be like a wall my grand parents had with the height of all the kids and grand kids with texta and date. In this texta line on Dunkley this year, he got relegated to the VFL. Then he came back for the back end of the year and broke his career best total disposal numbers with 27 touches, 30 touches, 34 touches and then 36 touches. His stock is on the rise. It will go sky high if he nails set shots. Another to look to see if he can keep this curve going after another preseason.

Tim English: Most Goals 2
Zaine Cordy: Most Hitouts 8

[bulldogtragic]

With the three game rule (the first will almost all be bests) I don't count a player until game 3. So Bailey Smith's career bests started in Round 3 and every single week to now (Round 10) (7 games straight) that he has registered a career best in some aspect of his performance. That is by far, far, far and away the longest stretch of any new player to our club in the 4 years this thread has been tracking career bests. I might propose that it shows a very steep curve in many different areas of his game, and his whole game in general.

[comrade]

That's a big night out for English against a quality opponent.

[Ozza]

That's a big night out for English against a quality opponent.

English has performed well all season against the mid and lower tier ruck opponents. His inexperience & age gets shown up against Grundy, Goldstein and likely Gawn - but he's going really well otherwise. Great to have a ruckman that marks the ball 6 or 7 times every week (as well as Boyd & Rough combined for a while there - we'd have games where they would have less than 3 marks between them regularly).

English is as good a story for us as Naughton and Bailey Smith in my view. Huge talents in the making.

What about Lloyd 3 goals?

[bulldogtragic]

What about Lloyd 3 goals?

Only an equal best. My rules are you need to register at least one career best to have the equal bests mentioned.

[azabob]

Only an equal best. My rules are you need to register at least one career best to have the equal bests mentioned.

Ah, ok. It hasn’t been the case previously.

[bulldogtragic]

Ah, ok. It hasn’t been the case previously.

It's the rule, but yeah there's the odd exception. But Lloyd has kicked 3 goals on three occasions this year. If I go around rewarding him with equal 3 most goals then how is he ever going to muster the effort to lift up to kick 4 goals in a game? You & Bevo and all our fans will thank me, and me alone, when he kicks 4+ goals within the next few weeks all because I didn't 'equal' him.

All valid points. But from a purely selfish point of view I gave home votes, so I was certain he’d have a career best!

Macrae did that in Cairns early on in his career too. But there's time. Maybe bounces or hit outs.

He will tally more than 2 goals in a game in the future too.

I can see him having a day out one day and kicking 7 or 8.

I'm not being a smart arse re Hayes but his good form at Footscray transitioned into the seniors nicely tonight

I have to admit to being a bit worried they had assigned him the Caleb Daniel role but Hayes Carried it out really well. I didn't think that Will would have had the deft touch with his foot skills but his teammates helped all our defenders lot by providing multiple targets up the ground. I was really impressed with all of our two-way running tonight.

Toby McLean: Most Goals 3
Tim English: Most Kicks 13, Most I50's 5
Will Hayes: Most Disposals 22, Most Kicks 14, Most Marks 7, Most Goals 2, Most Goal Assists 2, Most I50 5, Highest SC Pts 90, Highest AFL FP Pts 101

We have been playing these scum bags for a lot longer than 94 years. Sure there was a break but winning against Essendon has been almost as important as beating North for Footscray boys since the 1880s.

Not sure it's been mentioned anywhere here, but across the AFL, VFL and VFLW. We outscored Essendon by 38.13.241.
That's some sort of best...

Just when I thought the weekend couldn't get any better, the Wallabies also go and give the All Blacks a touch up in Perth.

Its a good day.

That one went right past me! I was listening to the post match when they mentioned it and I thought "Oh crikey, that's right..."

We outscored them by 241 points? That's pretty sweet.

Another fun stat:


Bulldogs also became the first team outside the top eight to beat a team inside the top eight by more than 100 points in the 26-year history of the top eight.

I have a stat that would relate to all Of us.
Most relaxed I have ever been at 3/4 time since I don’t know when.
Well it’s not a stat but it’s was a nice feeling.

Conversely then the bombers are the first top 8 team to be beaten by 100 big ones to a team outside the top 8!
Everyone gets a car!

Great win vs GWS at GWS (playing to remain in the hunt for finals)

Lewis Young: Most Kicks 12, Most R50 6, Highest SC Pts 89
Pat Lipinski: Highest AFL FPs 128, Equal Most Tackles 7
Will Hayes: Most Clearnaces 3, Most Tackles 7

[bulldogtragic]

Solid win to secure finals, at Ballarat, vs Adelaide

Patrick Lipinsli - Most Tackles 8

A lot of equal bests for various players.

[ledge]

Would it be our best win in Ballarat ?

Horrible, horrible loss vs GWS at GWS in an elimination final

Tim English - Most Hit Outs 30
Lewis Young - Most R50's 8
Zaine Cordy - Most R50's 6


Season over.

[bulldogtragic]

Round 1. Embarrassing loss on Prime Time. Vs Collingwood at Docklands (16 minutes less game time)

Bailey Smith: Highest SuperCoach Score 106
Ryan Gardner (3 games now): Most Disposals 11, Most Kicks 8, Most Marks 5, Highest SC 44, Highest AFLFP 49 (= Most Tackle 1)

(Three game rule on Cavarra)


That is all.

[azabob]

Unsure where to post this and unsure if it has been mentioned elsewhere.

What has been forgotten (well for me) is that a number of players won their first AFL final against Essendon and then backed it up against Brisbane.

Its all good and well playing and beating top 8 teams in regular home and away season but as we all know finals is a totally different proposition.

The confidence these players will take for not only this week against Port but into 2022 needs to be harnessed over the pre season to make sure we are again still alive come prelim final weekend in 2022.

First Finals Win
Bailey Smith, Bailey Dale, Bailey Williams, Roarke Smith, Tim English, Laitham Vandermeer, Josh Schache, Aaron Naughton, Cody Weightman, Lewis Young, Ryan Gardiner,

First finals win for the RED WHITE & BLUE
Taylor Duryea, Mitch Hannan, Adam Treloar, Alex Keith

Regardless what happens this week V Port the below players now know they have the ability to match it and beat the best when the whips are cracking.

[bulldogtragic]

FFC/WBFC - Largest winning margin in a final, 71 Points

[jazzadogs]

Bailey Smith - 4 goals. In a prelim.

[bulldogtragic]

Note:

Having done this thread, there?s a disturbing trend. Guys within the first few years should be smashing Career Bests in some regularity as I look at a bunch of stats. Past players that didn?t were the likes of Hayes, Gowers (after his first season) etc.

Hannan playing keeps my job easy, unless his told is to not generate stats. Guys like McComb and to an extent Scott aren?t lifting their games in line with historical expectations of players that make the grade. Young talent like Marra aren?t hitting new PB?s regularly either. It is not about new PBs in and of themselves, it is a development curve that doing this thread shows me week to week, year to year of players improving output from a low base as they grow into their hopeful careers. Take Hannan, he hasn?t got a stand alone PB/Career Best stat in his entire time at the dogs (unless you really want debate his 4 hit outs vs Carlton last year and some very low numbers on R50/I50). How does this happen?

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-western-bulldogs--mitchell-hannan

English & Richards are only the main shining lights on this curve. I don?t expect older guys to hit PB?s so it?s not a full analysis. But the lack of PBs in the first five rounds is about as bad as I can recall on player development in recent times. The history of this thread shows, this is a canary in the coal mine for a bad year and an indicator that a bunch of players will need to unclog the list. If this inability to improve individual performances from low bases continues (a lack of small and/or regular incremental improvement across a whole cohort of players) then the word rebuild might be more commonly used on here.

I hear you BT and I have been quietly lamenting that a bunch of players seem to go backwards at a very early stage.

McNeill showed a lot of promise in his first year and is now struggling to get a kick at Footscray.
West is just hanging around.
You have discussed Hannan but the problem is recruiting him at that age, probably the same with McComb.

All the signs are disturbing and we need to address it NOW.

Well, if things don’t turn around soon and players 17-23 in the team keep treading water and not showing incremental development, then it’s going to be a long year and possible rotating selection door of players showing they’re good VFL players who get promoted and then dropped a couple of games later. This is what’s making me debate whether we refresh or rebuild…

It is not just the talent or lack of.

We need to address our development process.

Surely players should improve from the time the arrive, but we have recent history of players being as good as they get in their 1st year.

This means the development/coaching is not giving the direction to improve.

If you keep doing what you have always done you keep getting what you have already got (or worse)

or

If you are not improving you are going backwards.

Huge for English to get those hitout numbers
