WB Game Day V St. Kilda R2 2020

[GVGjr]

I’m actually hoping lists do get reduced because we need a significant clean out.

I've been suggesting this for years We seem to want that extra year before making the hard call. That's great for team morale but it hasn't quite paid off with seeing an improving list fighting for available spots in the senior side

I’m actually hoping lists do get reduced because we need a significant clean out.

Its a nice idea but we’d just keep the shit players on anyway.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Stats wise the only real discrepancy is hit outs 21-6 but hasn’t really hurt us in clearances down by 1. Taking an extra moment in possession and nailing our chances would go along way. We need a big half from the captain to state the obvious.

Our list is not as bad as the current score line. We looked goat the second term. Hoping to turn it around in the second half.

[Nuggety Back Pocket]

Gardner is terrible, but we knew that. When do Bontempelli, Macrae, Bruce, Johannisen, Keath et al step up as senior players?

If players were picked on form preseason Trengrove Maclean and Cordy must feel nonplussed at others being selected who are clearly not up to the required AFL standard

Who’s looking forward to Roarke Smith coming in next week?

[Vred]

It's hard to see us winning many games unless (a) our midfield dominates, and (b) we kick straight.

How often are those stars likely to align?

yes, we’re basically *!*!*!*!ed.

Who’s looking forward to Roarke Smith coming in next week?

If he comes in for Johannisen I'm all for it.

At least Roarke has a go.

Needed a good laugh!

If its for Gardner I’d wear Rohan Smith coming in.

[whythelongface]

If Gowers and Gardner weren’t playing then the 3 (being generous) goals they’re directly culpable for wouldn’t have happened and we’d be down less than a goal. We’d all be filthy at how we’re going but also have a lot of scope to improve.

This absolutely is their fault, we all called it and there’s nothing we can do about it because our coach is obsessed with being the smartest guy in the room.

True. That is the case. But that is giving our midfield a free pass which is where the bigger issue lies.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Something just doesn't seem right. From a supposedly tight knight group in 2016, we seem listless and lacking in care for each other.

Our mids on paper look great, but at the moment the only one that looks influential is 2nd year Bailey Smith.
Bont, Macrae, and Dunkley should be doing much better.
JJ,Suckers, Gardner have been error prone.
Richards, Jong and Gowers, have made costly mistakes up the ground, and Lloyd is a witches hat defensively.

Massive 2nd half for our season's fortunes.

[Vred]

Who’s looking forward to Roarke Smith coming in next week?

I rate Roarke higher than Gardner and Gowers, bring him in.

[Rocket Science]

I LOLed.

[The bulldog tragician]

With Roark I can at least see raw talent, potential even if he probably won’t ever make it.

I can’t see that in Gardner.

[Bullies]

Lloyd seems to dodge the bullets. I thought after he crapped himself against Collingwood he would get an extended spell.
