WB Game Day V Adelaide R12 2020

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Adelaide are playing horrendously. If we simply played accountable football we’d be 6 goals up. Seriously it can’t be that hard to pull your head in. This is work rate stuff not talent.

[comrade]

This game is going just like all our others. No defensive work rate whatsoever but we’ll win because we’re playing a bad team. Nothing has improved though.

Yeah, not much to take from that quarter.

Ed Richards started well, the pace seems to be suiting Lipinski much better this week and Bont is dominating.

Bailey Dale continues to play on his own terms and I have no idea what Roarke is supposed to bring to the side. One contest, one loss.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

So first quarter highlights. Lookss sac likdd Ed we are not missing Bruce, Richards looks quite solid, Naughton looking good. Love Wst back in the side.

Happy with that quarter sort of. How we conseeded 4 goals to Adelaide is alarming. They look terrible. We better not too cocky because if we let them get 4 easy goals they'll try build confidence of that. We need to starve them not hand them the corridor

[Sedat]

Bevo just needs to get the team tighten up defensively in the 2nd quarter. It's fortunate for the Crows to grab those two late goals.

There is a bit of work to do but we've looked good at times

Is it luck or isn't poor work rate running defensively? And is it also overly aggressively defensive positioning from our back 6? Geelong hardly ever concede coast to coast goals from their F50 and we've conceded 3 in 1 qtr.

[Grantysghost]

Feel like if we have the offensive trigger pulled we just can't/don't transition at all. Happy with the quarter I think we will pull away if we can get the defense sorted.

[jeemak]

Crowding the ball or the carrier is a massive problem.

We saw Hunter do it in the centre when Daniel was running after the Adelaide bloke and would have been able to pressure him but Hunter charged him and left someone open which in turned opened up the field to a player under no pressure.

It's so obvious and the players need to be better.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

The Geelong and west coast fixtures are going to be massacres.

It's between the ears of the players, both in positioning and intent.

[DOG GOD]

Once again our fwd line congested and the opposition not

How many weeks do you give them to figure it out before you say they’re incapable?

[DOG GOD]

In a scrum we have too many ball watchers. Either tackle an opponent or get the ball, just don’t friggin stand in concrete watching.

[angelopetraglia]

Again. How? I don’t understand.

Ball watching has been an issues all year, it has to do with work rate and avoiding contact

[Eastdog]

Shocking!
