The Moment: Rnd 11, 2021, vs Melbourne Demons

[bulldogsthru&thru]

The moment for me was Adelaide beating Melbourne last week. They just were hungrier to start with and we got blown away.

Lesson learnt for next time.

Both Richmond and Melbourne suffered ‘bad’ losses the week before playing us. It’s not a reason or an excuse for our performance at all but in both games it was well evident that the oppositions hunger was greater than ours.

Good teams look to bounce back after a loss. We should be red hot early against the Dockers too.

I was hoping they’d come up against us undefeated, so they were more likely to drop it.

Great call. I’m expecting a statement from the players (a good one).

Our mids will come out breathing fire against Freo.

Libba will be answering some hard questions from his coach this week. Expect him to play like a man possessed.

That was a bullshit free kick when Libba was having a shot at goal and the free was reversed. He slotted that as well.

How could you know, ch7 never gave us a replay.

There were too many moments for me. They have sort of melted and fused together into a blackened ugly shape - the sort of thing you'd get if you burnt a whole lot of plastic waste in a backyard incinerator.

Therefore, it's impossible for me to isolate one particular moment and I'm pressing the erase button.

Naughton’s HTB when he should’ve got 50 deep into the 1st quarter. Goal there makes it 2 goals the difference, they extend their lead to over 4 goals minutes later.

Libba's turnover which resulted in a goal was it for me. Credit to them that they made us pay straight away for turning it over every time. We on the other hand did not.

I'm upset we lost another game that was important for our own credibility but I'm not that worried moving forward. We lost it in the first quarter and never recovered. They are a good team that you can't give a 5 goal head start to. We will learn plenty from that game.

I call bullshit, because Libba kicked the ball and they called a free after that. The ball was sailing over everyone's head and any holding had no effect on the result. They expect players to be perfect robots.

I think JD was criticising channel 7 there
