Three things you've learned. Round twelve 2021 v Fremantle

[Twodogs]

Three things. The queue starts here

[GVGjr]

Bump

[bulldogtragic]

1. Not seeing Gardner last year and reading about him I was expecting a lot more.

2. Hopefully the lockdown ends and in two weeks we can go back to the pre-lockdown footy we were playing.

3. Winning is good.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

1. Hunter, Macrae and Bont are having very consistent seasons.

2. Keathy is one of our most valuable players.

3. Rumour is that Astro is soon to become Australia's second James Bond...'Licenced to Thrill'.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

1. Desperately need this bye. Rest and recover lads.

2. Naughton could be the best player in the comp if he learns how to kick. Looked like Carey, kicked like a mule.

3. If we can't get some players back soon and stop the injury rot, we'll be struggling to win games to secure top 2/4.

[whythelongface]

1. We can win a H&A game at Optus Oval

2. We can travel to Perth the day before and win (although I don’t want us to have to do this again against the West Coast)

3. Cody Weightman is that genuine small forward that can provide us with some spark and enthusiasm during the game. He will become a fan favourite similar to Dahlhaus when he first started.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

1. We need a goal kicking coach

2. We needed a Goal kicking coach last year

3. We needed that Goal kicking coach ever since Bevo has been at the helm

[bornadog]

1. We need a goal kicking coach

2. We needed a Goal kicking coach last year

3. We needed that Goal kicking coach ever since Bevo has been at the helm

We have kicked 171/159

[bornadog]

1. Doc Duryea controls the backline

2. Bont is a freak ( i knew that)

3. Naughton stays forward

[bulldogtragic]

We have kicked 171/159

If you allow one on the full per game. We are best 50/50. Professional footballers should be higher. Especially some of the really easy ones. We are already the highest scoring team, but if we could 2-3 goals a game more then we are even harder to beat. That’s what I want the squad to aspire to.

[westbulldog]

1. This win was excellent, Freo's home deck, travel up to Sydney and across the nullabor, a crowd of er....., not much going for us and we won well.
2.Naughton could be leading the coleman medal if he could convert.
3.Darcy Tucker is promoted to Freo's official media spokesperson "....we should win comfortably".

[Bumper Bulldogs]

We have kicked 171/159

Yes but have you seen the shots we miss. Can’t understand ho we miss so many shots between 25 to 40m out.

Yeah, I agree, I was just showing the totals.

[Mutz]

1. After seeing us beaten by the Tiges and Dees, teams have worked out how to challenge us – neutralise our supply at stoppages. As Mofra said in the game day thread:
"One tackler in, pressure the handball receiver. Teams have worked out how to put us under pressure and make us turn the ball over."
That leaves more of them on the outside to stifle our fast handball game. This was the thrust of an analysis article by Michael Whiting on the AFL website earlier today.

2. That said, we found a way to get our chief supply, Libba, back into the game. Bont was outstanding helping out with the grunt work and that allowed Libba to break out.

3. We need the grunt of Dunkley at stoppages. He doesn't kick pretty but he drives it forward.

Bonus. What has happened with Mr B. Smith after the first few rounds? He lacks confidence to go on the run - he could be another Treloar if he backed himself.

[bulldogtragic]

Naughton could be the next player to kick 100 goals in a season. He could be anything.

But I’m not prepared to bet on it. If the game was decided by contested marks I50, we’d win every game until he retires.
