    Re: WB Game Day V Fremantle R18 2020

    If someone told me Naughts and Wally would not kick a goal, that we’d be 1 player down with half a game to play and we were gonna win by 5 goals by a much improved Freo I would have said you are dreaming.

    The little things our players did whole match - tapping ball to others, somehow reaching ball when not in best position etc impressed me today. Playing more cohesively as a team. Think Freo did us some favours with some bad goal misses in last half plus horrible turnovers. Thought we handled the slippery conditions much better.

    Yeah would have been nice to have already secured our spot in the finals before the last round but we are here again and always a chance.

    Agree with the sentiment. However, Wally kicked the first Bulldogs goal of the game.

    I don’t usually take much notice of fantasy football scores, however Libba scored 196 in SuperCoach which is rarified air.

    It was a strange, tense and exhausting night. At times it felt like things were against us. Often a series of magnificent smothers somehow resulted in them getting possession. Losing Naughton was really tough. Can the Kid take a trick?

    Our defence didn't seem as cohesive, Wood's timing was out, and though I love Cordy tonight I could see why Comrade's opinion that he ain't much chop is held so steadfastly.

    We had a dreadful start to the year and haven't had a whole lot of luck with injuries, but here we are, with another finals series to play in this strange old season. Go Dogs your endeavour this year has never been in doubt!

    Titus O'Reilly has lamented how terrible a day it's been for Melbourne fans.

    1. COVID breach
    2. Inappropriate touching
    3. Out of finals

    Glad we could be a part of it.

    WHAT was that all about? Your most important quarter of the year and... just why?

    Yep, given the start and the 4-5 times throughout the season I thought we were done and dusted, credit has to go to the coaching group and the players for somehow buying in until the end and making it through.

    Fingers crossed the injury gods smile on us over the next week, we can roll out as close to our best 22 as possible and we cause some carnage in the finals.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Makes sense to me.

    And that the mighty trio Bont, Macrae and Dunkley have their least combined effort ever.

    Broken nose or a broken cheek I reckon. The contact looked high up.

    Either way it's not good.

    I was impressed with our pressure particularly in defence. Lipinski was very good in the first half and Roarke had his best game by far. His willingness to take the risk and run around the man on the mark was great to see. Libba was immense throughout. It was a very good pressure performance. The win was made harder by poor goal kicking and poor delivery inside 50. I am really happy with the win. Thanks Dogs. We are in the mix.
