3 Things I have learned - Bulldogs vs Saints Round 2.

[GVGjr]

Let us know the three things you learned after watching tonight match.

Be constructive but be honest.

[dukedog]

People will want to watch the western bulldogs play footy.

The brand being played now could be the prototype for the next decade.

A few people may believe now that peroxide hair may warrant a drug test. ...JJ. lookin at you mate

[EasternWest]

I'm not convinced on Suckling. Still looks a bit pudgy and prefers the flashy things rather than (dare I say it) "kick it properly".

Adams play a really assured game style. He's a good size and makes good decisions.

Caleb Daniel proves yet again that being able to play is the most important characteristic of all. He's got oodles of time and uses it so well.

[westdog54]

1. Recruiting Adams may be Dalrymple's greatest masterstroke.

2. This team will revolutionise football.

3. I *!*!*!*!ing hate the *!*!*!*!ing dribble kick. Suckling and Dahlhaus are lucky my kids were within earshot.

[LostDoggy]

1. The Saints have more grit than I gave them credit for.
2. Marcus Adams is going a long way towards filling the gap left by Lake.
3. You can be nervous despite the margin.

[Go_Dogs]

1. Marcus Adams can be more than a reasonable AFL player, he can become a really good one if he can continue to build and consistently demonstrate what he has shown thus far.

2. An ugly win is still a win, and even when we play ugly we were able to be a strong defensive side and also capable of putting a reasonable score on the board ourselves.

3. JJ might just be the most improved player in the AFL based on his start to this season.

[SonofScray]

1. Tom Boyd will need to resort to diving and embellishment if he is ever to get the penalties earned for being infringed upon by cheating defenders.

2. We might change the song from "that saved old Footscray's name" to "that saved the football game" because we are playing football the right way.

3. The Day Is Getting Closer.

[LostDoggy]

Marcus Adams reminds me of Harry Taylor. The way they play + both mature age recruits from WA.

[bornadog]

1. We win by ten goals and we feel we could have done better and we walk out of the stadium feeling slightly bad.

2. Our Goal kicking still needs work.

3. Roughead is giving his all to be number 1 ruckman.

[Doc26]

1. Bont's confidence when kicking at goal is at a low ebb. When on the run and clear inside fifty he must keep backing himself rather than to look to pass it off.

2. Dalrymple's rising value in the marketplace is going to make him hard to hold. Hopefully he's made of better stuff than Justin Cordy.

3. You can't beat football smarts. How great it is to have Libba back in the engine room. His elite status should be about restored.

[bulldogtragic]

1. That was an awful game to watch live.
2. I wish someone had told me stupid around the corner dribble bouncing attempts at goals were worth 12 points. Because clearly using a drop punt for 6 points is a stupid option.
3. Jack Macrae never shirks if when its his turn to go. He just needs to work on disposal/first options.

[comrade]

1. Saints fans cling to Billings as their great white hope. I think McLean could end up the better player.

2. Our depth across the ground is impressive. Both Bont and Stringer had relatively quiet nights, yet others stepped up.

3. That feeling of hope is returning and it makes going to the footy much more nerve wracking than when you're just happy to watch the kids develop. I probably won't enjoy this year as much as last year (unless we win the flag of course!).

[Bulldog4life]

1. Full credit for the team for covering for Crammers and Dickson so far. They are a great loss.

2. To keep two teams to only ten goals between them at Etihad in two matches is magnificent.

3. Marcus Adams and Caleb Daniel are both potential 200 game players with our great Club.

Agree on McLean, he's a gun. Now if only he'd build some strength around his knees in a tackle he'll go alright.

Definitely wants to try draw the free when he runs out of options in the tackle. He needs to be careful not to get a reputation as a ducker.
