WB Game Day V Carlton R5 2019

[DOG GOD]

A lot on interesting reading ahead for you. Keep an eye out for footnote 1,091 ahead. I think it's arguably the most important part in either volume, or so I reckon.

But back to footy. I'm usually over bad losses, or great wins (pre-lim win and premierships aside) a day later. This is different this loss. I'm just so frustrated, embarrassed and other adjectives still.

Same BT. I turned fox footy on this morning and a replay was on for our game. 10 mins into the 2nd qtr. I quickly turned it off. 5 seconds was enough to bring back the murderous disappointment I felt yesterday at 4:30pm. Just deflated, and I haven’t even got to work tomorrow, which will bring an abundance of absuse/sledging I’m sure...although I did pre worn them last Friday, that I didn’t expect a win.

The prospect of a trip west this week off the back of yesterday's tripe makes it even worse...

Yeah - nah.

In 1991 we finished 10th. We were TERRIBLE and I was not looking forward to the 1992 season.

In round 1 1992, we went to Adelaide and won. The travel galvanised us and the team had a great season (though a BS finals exit - the first of a few in the years to follow). This trip to Optus is a big chance for the group to do a bit of soul searching, spend some time together and bring EFFORT.

For me at least, there should be no talk about winning (of course, there should be no talk about losing either). Every single thing that is said should be related to the effort we will bring and what the spectators in the crowd will be seeing when we play at our best. I am thinking they will see a swarm of RWB around the footy, hard tackling and first option handball. And if Freo win the ball, they will see RWB players desperately pushing to get goal-side of their opponent.

This is a BIG opportunity to reset and probably one we don't deserve.

I am loving your rational and evidence based positivity Mike. Its exactly what I need right now.

Yeah nah I'm not buying it.
Freo will smash us and it won't be pretty.
We have lost confidence and we are not playing for each other and it shows through soft half-hearted efforts.
If it wasn't for the Dees we'd be the new Carlton.

[mjp]

Yeah nah this is the guy that said we'll beat Collingwood. I'm not buying it.

I guess we should just give up then. Take the weekend off.
Such a crap attitude...look ahead and fight.

Cede Nullis
Need to live up to our motto on Saturday night
Go Dogs! I’m not going anywhere. This is what it is all about being a supporter the highs (the premiership) the lows (what we experienced yesterday).

[Remi Moses]

Good thing some on here weren’t around In the 80’s or even the 70’s 60’s .
They’d have locked the doors and handed in the keys

We'll do what we can but we seem a way off a cohesive unit. I hope we do fight it out but our hearts just don't seem like their in it.

I was it makes now all the more frustrating. Enough FFS.

Before my time. Yeah I have heard they were tough years for sure. We were playing at Western Oval back then but we probably didnt have a lot of great moments. Imagine having WOOF around in that dark period in the early 80s. Financially back then we weren't very strong either something that is much better today.

Not much we can do to influence the result. If they show us something this weekend I'm sure we'll all turn our attitudes around but the onus is well and truly on them now

[Sedat]

Yeah - nah.

Were you at the WACA for that Friday night game in 1991 when Sumich kicked 7 goals in a qtr and 13 for the match on Paul Gow, and we were humiliated by 20 goals in Noah's Ark conditions? Good times.

God I loved the 1992 season, especially beating the Saints 3 times. My 2nd favourite year behind 2016. Dammit, thinking about Del Re kicking 72 goals for the season has got me fired up for this week!

Loved Danny, strong as an ox and could take a strong mark.
