Probably should've started this thread before the game!

What do we think of him? 38 @ HT is downright dreadful but the Doggies are being destroyed. Would you contemplate a sideways trade if you perceived his role being less influential than previous years.

I expected incremental improvement, but safe to say he'd need to pull out a spectacular second half to cement that confidence.

It's half time. For a bloke who can score 50 in a quarter by barely touching the ball at least wait until the end of the game.

What the hell is going on with all this crazy knee jerk reactions already?

It is only Rd 1 peoples so stay calm. Not all prems start on fire while they develop match hardness so wait and see next round.
For the record I have Bont and am not trading him.

[smashbox]

He's just not getting near it. But in all fairness the dogs are getting pumped

[crowls]

he has not lost his skill overnight or since last season.   not watching the game, what is his split between on ball and up forward.  is this impacting his scoring?

Had 130k the night before lockout and didn't know what to do with it, had Conigs all pre-season as one of my first picks but traded him to the Bont  >:(

Could been worse, also contemplated O'Meara to Libba...

[Adamant]

Macrae > Bont

[SilverLion]

TBH prefer Macrae from the dogs

[PowerBug]

Will give it another week, and will try to watch the Bulldogs game as I didn't get a chance to watch it today. But I'm not ruling out using him as the premium I remove after Round 2. Which is sad as I love the Bont :(

[Torpedo10]

His seeming disinterest once the sting went out of the game was my concern.

Sat on 27 odd at QT, totally burned out once GWS got the jump.

[Bully]

Not panicking, must stick to original plans.

[Torpedo10]

Did anyone else watch Q1? I missed most of it, and when I started watching it was brutally average from him. Noticeably fell to ground around stoppages quite easily.

Everyone should trade him after 1 week... hibberd too... youd think people would have learnt after playing sc for years... JUST WAIT... don’t panic, there’s bigger problems
