  • Honest examination of team.

    Love the detail in the post autopsy. Never doom and gloom or over the top optimism. Obviously these guys know their stuff and each brings a different perspective to the team’s efforts each week.

  • Ignores all women’s teams

    If your interested in the whole club of afl aflw vflw vfl this isn’t the pod for you ! Maybe name change to the male only bulldog disappointing 1-2 mins out of an hour isn’t much to ask and the women’s teams are a big part of what makes the club who it is !

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Salty Bulldog - S8 E20
Q: What changes are being considered for the lineup with Bailey Dale out?
They contemplate Libertore returning and discuss possible reshuffles including moving Williams back to defense and Kennedy or Frasier being moved to balance the back six, with careful consideration of rest versus readiness for finals.
The Salty Bulldog - S8 E20
Q: Is Frazier a victim of being moved around too much?
Yes, the hosts discuss that Frazier has been shuffled between centre, wing, and forward roles, which may be contributing to inconsistency, though he still shows high positional upside and potential if given a steadier role.
Fan Q&A - Round Six
Q: What changes are we going to make, Nick?
The discussion centers on multiple likely changes due to injuries and the need to balance experience with youth, prioritizing players who can contribute immediately while managing the pinched depth.
Fan Q&A - Round Five
Q: What is the optimal approach to game plans against multiple opponents?
The consensus is for a primary plan backed by a flexible secondary plan that can adapt to different styles, rather than maintaining an overly complex matrix of plans.
Fan Q&A - Round Five
Q: Would Norton be better used as a ruck option or elsewhere?
They propose testing Norton as a relief ruck to provide a different look and to switch up the attack when matchups are tough, while acknowledging the risks and load management concerns.
