WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2021

[macca]

@Half Time,

Up until that last kick, Duryea was has been best on ground.

Bruce and Jamara need to take those marks.

English has been really poor today except for 5 mins of that quarter. He needs to up the contest against Hickey, and start winning some of these contests.

Goal kicking is killing us. Misses by Bruce, Cody. We are very very luck to be in it still.

Umpire has been atrocious. Keath gets his head sat on by Franklin, right in front of the umpire in the first quarter, and no free. Franklin looks past it, attacking the man, not the ball, and its happened several times. 2 goals in the first quarter where umpire missed frees to the doggies. I have been really filthy on the umpiring up until half way 2nd quarter.

The team's work rate needs to lift and we have been really sloppy all around.

Who is covering Dawson?

[bulldogtragic]

Messy end to the half, Marra doesnt look quite ready either.

Thank you. He’ll kick 4 this half now.

[comrade]

Messy end to the half, Marra doesnt look quite ready either.

Occasion has been way too big for him. Dropping marks any AFL player should be taking and fumbling everything that comes his way.

Ah well, I wasn’t expecting much based on his VFL form.

[Dry Rot]

Our disposal by foot not under pressure has been appalling in both quarters.

[Dry Rot]

Goal kicking from easy positions not a lot better either

[Bumper Bulldogs]

What needs to change for the second half. The forward 50 just not working. Bruce can’t get space and the ball is coming out like a trampoline

Need Wallis, Bruce, JJ snd Hannan all stand up.

[DOG GOD]

Marra should’ve debuted against North if at all. Not Sydney.

[Grantysghost]

It's clear at the game the Swans are working so much harder. I'm surprised the scores are so close.

Their pressure on the ball carrier is as good as I've seen this year, and their forward line looks incredibly potent.

Out worked, really need to lift or the Swans will gap us in the third.

Bont been huge. Still not sold with Caleb on the ball. Think Keath has held his own v Buddy.

Marra looks like a first gamer, underwhelming so far let's hope he can get into it more in the second.

[Go_Dogs]

We need to take some control of the ball.

We’re doing ok in tight but we are hurried and turning it over as soon as it pops out. We just need to improve our method a bit on the second and third possession. Take some time. Take some heat off the ball. 5 mins of control and then let’s open it up a bit again and put the foot down.

Both sides have missed chances, so we aren’t far off and a margin that won’t worry anyone in this league.

Let’s win this.

[DOG GOD]

We are going to have our patch of 7-10 mins where we will dominate. In that time, we need to kick 3-4 goals, otherwise this game is over. We look tired. We look off. Sydney are using the ball way better, and even though not winning the clearances, they are certainly winning the ground ball with better skills. We are fumbling like it’s raining.

If we continue to bomb like Naughton is out there, we are no chance to win. Bruce is playing like it’s 2020 and Marra is deer in headlights. If they are going to flood, we need the likes of JJ, Dale and Williams to hit the 50 running and boot it over the defence.

[merantau]

We are playing very poorly indeed. So much fumbling, so many dropped marks, 3 absolute sitters missed. If not for good contributions from Bont, Libba, Baz, Duryea, Hunter, Dale and Daniel we would be five goals down. JJ has usually played well against the Swans. I'm hoping he will impact the second half.

We have a lot of work to do to rescue this game.

[whythelongface]

It was just awful. He's been our best on for the half but then he doesn't even chip it 15 metres to a man in our defense. Just bomb it up the line and hopefully force a stoppage, instead he kicked it at Cordy's feet.

Agree. pressure often leads to a poor or rushed decision.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

The good news is that Bevo sill settle them down. We need to lift both work rate and skills.

We do that we.m win comfortably

It’s so far, but so close too. Fumbles and skill errors are killing us and that can turn. If it does we’ll break them.

We are playing poorly but to their credit the Swans are forcing us to make mistakes. We need to break it open and move the ball quickly. When we do we look better
