WB Game Day V Fremantle R12 2021

Considering West has come on fresh as the sub, he’s again been underwhelming. Just don’t see it with him.

I agree he was underwhelming, but what was his role when he came on? Halfway through the last quarter a graphic came on screen and said he hadn't been on yet (11 minutes). I would have loved to see us chuck him in a few centre bounces.

Please Naughton, you gotta learn to kick through the ball instead of just stabbing it. You're killing me

He came on in the third quarter and had 4 touches.

Tough win, we answered the challenge and you have to be happy with that.

We've got some work to do to come up with better performances though.

[comrade]

Seasons where we're right in it are stressful. We just won in Perth, are 10-2 with 150% and the vibes around us aren't great. Personally, I need to take a step back and enjoy the position we're in.

I am scared of losing.

What a wonderful season to date

Rapt with that win, we would have lost that from 2017-2020 it has put us in a really good place to lock in a top 4 spot.

We have always lacked that contested mark in the square at key moments across multiple decades, English took it tonight, Bruce and Naughty have done it in other games. It will continue to be a weapon for us.

Libba and Bont might be my all time favourite Bulldogs. Doc and Hunter were outstanding all night.

Its obvious we are missing our point of difference with Dunks and Treloar out we just going to have to hang in their till they are back.

Keen to see the three tall defenders again, I think its something we might have to go with come finals time.

Bring on the cats, just wish it could be infront of a crowd.

He came on in the third quarter and had 4 touches.

JJ and Scott playing the same role had 8 and 9 touches, 5 and 2 tackles, 20 and 19 pressure acts. West played less than half their TOG for 4 touches and 10 pressure acts.

I just think half-forward is a crap role to play in our side, and West isn't alone in struggling when played there.

29 goals 26,

And they're often gettable shots as well. He's top 10 in the Coleman but if he converted a quarter of those then he'd be up to his eyeballs in the race.

You've barracked for the Dogs for years, through thick and thin, I can't believe you could be scared of losing.

I hate losing but it doesn't scare me.

If the 3 key defenders releases Keath to play like he did tonight, then I'm all for it.

When I say scared, I am having so much fun, I don't want us to lose.

[Eastdog]

Great hard fought win away from home. Our first win as well at Optus Stadium.

I thought Macrae, Hunter, Bont, Libba, Dale, Duyrea, Keath, Naughton were all very good. Our kicking at goal still needs to be better - the only downside to Naughton's game.

It was a very solid half back line effort from our team.

Yes, I agree with what you say.

I personally am not convinced with West. He lacks pace. I prefer McNeil to play that HF role.
