Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Only 11 points down. If that's their best and we've withstood it. That's not all bad. Time to give some back.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Really got beat up that quarter. Luckily not on the scoreboard. I worry about our handball game under finals pressure.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
They’ve been all over us and we’re lucky to be so close.. hopefully that’s as good as they’ve got as the signs aren’t good.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Thankfully giants are being wasteful, could be game over already
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Interesting , seems they had the scoring end and we just held out, although the commentators said we had the wind the Whitfield goal proved different.
We will find out more this quarter to the effect.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
That was tough. We are definitely under siege down back. Need to get on top in the middle.

We need to be more physical around the contest and better with our hands. Need quick movement and cannot miss set shots.
Greene looks like he could be in for a day. If he goes to ground, I hope Cordy has a knee nearby.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Not a good start. They're all over us right now apart from a few decent chunks of play. They missed some so hope that comes back to bite them later.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Stating the obvious but we're going to have to push back and be more willing to get dirty for contested ball.
We're not exactly shirking it but more ferocity and proactivity when the ball's up for grabs means more ball going our way.
That's their best I reckon. If we find ours they're stuffed.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Not happy that the umps are allowing GWS to play agressively, but are being harsh on us for similar.

Considering their dominance being 11 points down isn’t bad.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
The Giants are closing the outlets really well, but we have a lot of improvement in us.
I suspect the Giants pressure will ease off as the game wears on and things will open up for us a little, but we need to keep working really hard.
Re: 2019 Elimination Final Game Day - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
Their aggression is certainly high and we've withstood it well - time to burn them off with sheer pace.

How the *!*!*!*! is that not down field?
