AFL Game Day Round 21, 2017 - Western Bulldogs V GWS Giants

[AndrewP6]

Remember when we used to fight???

[GVGjr]

Lacking some fizz. The ins this week havent done enough so hopefully they are better for the run next week

[Mantis]

White flag has been raised!

[GVGjr]

Its a shame the lead has blown out. Regardless of a loss no one likes to see players flat. Who should be providing the inspiration and setting the example?

[bulldogtragic]

My god.

Remember when we used to fight???

We fought on the back of insane levels of will at the contest, on the back of Libba getting to repeat contests and at worst halving them.
For whatever reason he is a shadow of his former self and it is exposing our deficiencies up forward, as well as his other cohorts in close who lack leg speed around the contest

[Mantis]

I wish Hunter and Macrae didn't get so much of the ball.. Just no hurt factor.

[bulldogtragic]

Good push on the line by Cloke. Nice to see a professional doing the little things still.

[Doc26]

Our stark deficiency in entering the forward 50 efficienctly by foot is diabolical.
The contrasting skill level here between us and the Giants is as vast as I can recall.

This has to be so demotivating for all whilst providing such a lift for our opponents.

[Sedat]

Us - 65 x I50's for 7 goals
Them - 34 x I50's for 16 goals

Lol

[G-Mo77]

What a pathetic gutless 2nd half of footy. This team doesn't deserve to be playing any extra weeks of footy this season. Ordianry season overall with very few highs.

[always right]

Is it about bagging though AR? Or is it deeper than that? We've tried to bring our pressure game; and not only has that beem5found wanting but our inability to capitalise on opportunities is still a thorn in our side.

So the one area we had ascendancy in last year is not up to scratch and we've not addressed our deficiency in regards to our forward 50 play.
We need to ask hard questions of our personnel at the very least.

Just reckon talking about trading blokes with one quarter to go is a bit much. That's not to say blokes shouldn't be criticised for their performance.........Libba and Wallis were liabilities tonight and Young had the mare he was always going to eventually have.

[always right]

The defence we had in tonight was never going to hold them to a losing score. Our forwards have a lot to answer for. Remember when Stringer first started?...he was a great set shot. Remember when Bont rarely missed?

[bulldogtragic]

Is this our new worst lost under Bevo?

I mean, GWS, finals on the line, at home, point to prove etc, etc. It just felt like a legitimate Toby Greene kick to face tonight.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I wish Hunter and Macrae didn't get so much of the ball.. Just no hurt factor.

And yet Lever is apparently our main target??
I hope this is the mother of all ruses on our behalf. Not that Lever is not a good player; but he would not have made a lick of difference tonight.
