Re: AFL Game Day Round 21, 2017 - Western Bulldogs V GWS Giants
Why we shift the ball backwards and then from side to side is beyond me. We are a poor kicking side to a man and best suited to playing a territory style... short passes going forward or long kicks down the line.
Our kicking errors left us badly exposed.

What a bunch of bastards we are.
Her son could have been in our premiership side if he wasn't so disloyal and greedy.

Now that the pressure is off we will be kicking them from all over the place next week. We will kick 20.5 or something.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Stevo asserted with a straight face Dale (Morris) in the mix for selection versus Port.
Surely not.

Done it all season Mantis. If we're not kicking sideway we're going wide. We don't have a legit pack marker and slowing down letting defence roll back certainly doesn't our cause.

That stat needs to be the centrepiece of our season review.

Never doubt Dale Morris. Unfortunately he doesn't kick goals.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Triple M reported the same.

Then we wouldn't have had Jack Macrae to kick the money shot in the prelim.

And as much as that adds to the legend of Dale's recuperative ability; it does little to remedy what truly ails us.

We have too many players who kill momentum in our team... Slow ball footy doesn't suit us at all.
And on pack markers does Big Red even compete in the air? Such a limited player.

We all know his limitations but along with Dickson he's the only forward who leads at the ball carrier.

Re: AFL Game Day Round 21, 2017 - Western Bulldogs V GWS Giants
That was a frustrating night. Hopefully Lewis doesn't let it get him too down but giving up 3 easy goals in what was a close game was devastating.
The poor goalkicking didn't help tonight but gee out F50 entry is terrible at times. I thought it was getting better in recent weeks but that was just terrible
