AFL Game Day Round 2, 2019 - Hawthorn V Western Bulldogs at the MCG

Libby was huge in that last quarter he willed us across the line. He’s an A grader when up and about and has the mongrel we have been lacking.
Best win since the flag.

He was awesome. He made some very smart decisions when it counted

I thought Smith look more at home today did some nice things and look composed.

Matty Suckling, 25 kicks. Leather poisioning.

I won’t lie, I stopped watching at the end of the third until my missus walked in halfway though the fourth going “your heart must be pounding it’s so close”

I had no idea how we did it, I’ll need to watch the replay.. but damn, we won!

Smith is very good user , he lowers his eyes , would like to see him on a wing , it’s to early him on the ball but I can see why Luke is playing him in there , the experience he will get off Liberatore and the Bont will be unbelievable.
How good was Liberatores goal , seriously he isn’t the natural looking footballer has a strange kick but god he is good.

Smith just needs to improve his aerobic capacity and then he will be an A grader. A full preseason will have him cherry ripe.

Great win by the boys, I thought we were going to do a sydney last week but we kicked on. We had a bit of luck but that is out of our hands.

I got frustrated in the 3rd like most but I'm stoked we managed to fight it out, well done doggies

Agree I too think it was the best win since the flag. Good opposition, backs to the wall, young side. But bleed bulldog spirit fr us all

Wow that was edgy.

[merantau]

That was such a gutsy win. Real grit. Everyone played a part in that last quarter. It wasn't pretty but we were swarming, driven by brute will power. Very proud of that EFFORT.
I thought Caleb Daniel was outstanding for four quarters. I love this team. They are working hard for each other and did us proud.

Chad Wingard. Pffft.

Great game overall, a bit tough to watch at times. Loved our flow and movement when we switched in in the second and last quarters.

Couple of thoughts:

- Bailey smith settled as the game went on, opposite to last week. 92% disposal efficiency today
- Lewis Young was good and should play next week
- English played he best game I’ve seen him play since joining the club
- you know we’re going to win when Jack Macrae starts slotting goals
- the free kick count will be discussed this week but I thought the umpiring was pretty spot on. The count was irrelevant
- this is the confidence boost we sorely need
- There is a strong chance we’ll be 3-0 which is amazing

Daniel was excellent. I wad thinking midway through the 3rd how we could use a few more with such amazing decision making. We've got to stop him getting isolated on talls though it cannot happen.
