WB Game Day V Melbourne R19 2021

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

This will be the key. Melb will come and we have to hold them. When we get our chance, we have to take them. This game reminds me of the Richmond game. We have to come out in the 3rd prepared for battle and not give them some easy goals.

Not sure it is showing the same profile as the Richmond game.
Richmond looked like they were getting on top from half way through the second quarter, and had all the momentum going into the main break.
It hasn't looked the case here, we looked stronger the further the 2nd quarter progressed.
Let's hope we can keep it up.

He will be back within 9 weeks.

doesn't look that bad

Roarke shutting Langdon out of the game. Very important player for them and only has 5 to half time. Happy with a “non event” between those two on the wing.

I’d be a bit nervous with Schache one out, but he’s using body well in a contest.

That's all he has to keep doing. Keep putting body on his opponent and bring it to ground and hipe the cavalry arrives

[The Underdog]

He will be back within 9 weeks.

Prefer within 4-5

[bornadog]

Love the spirit of the boys when Hannan kicked that goal

[Dry Rot]

How is Garcia going?

[Grantysghost]

Biggest half of the year, top spot means probably an interstate side first week in Melbourne *

Cmon dogs. Time is now, with this quarter we are well on the way.

*covid permitting

[Jeanette54]

So pleased with the effort and work rate, right across the team.

Hoping to see Marra getting more involved as the conditions start to dry out a bit.

[bornadog]

How is Garcia going?

7 disposals one tackle. He is ok for a 5 gamer, does go in hard

[Ozza]

This game is nothing like the Richmond one.

Yep. Completely different style games.
That doesn’t mean anything in terms of what the result might be- but we never got our territory game happening v Richmond and the half time lead against Richmond flattered us.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We're definitely winning the territory war so far. The top 4 metres gained are all bulldogs, Smith and Bont, and importantly off our half back line Dale and Duryea.

[DOG GOD]

How is Garcia going?

Inexperience showing. Not doubting his endeavour, but has cost us some turnovers with stupid over the head handballs to no one.

[bulldogtragic]

doesn't look that bad

Exactly. We have Young on the shelf and I think we need to give Schache an extended run too. Possibly the rest of the H&A for when Keath is hopefully back and we can see the best KPD mix.

Roarke shutting Langdon out of the game. Very important player for them and only has 5 to half time. Happy with a “non event” between those two on the wing.

I didn't notice that. Nice one Roarke
