Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021

[The Bulldogs Bite]

If we win, I want Dunkley dropped. He's insipid.

[MrMahatma]

Need more from Treloar and Dunks. Gardner looks very shaky unless he’s just punching.

Some promising signs from B Smith, Weightman. Libba doing well.

Our pressure seems just 1second off the pace. Need that to step up.

[comrade]

I'm not going to make it through this game.

Like the idea of Dunkley tagging though.

Dunks couldn’t catch a cold in this form, will struggle to stay within a metre of Parish.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

I think I've seen this before and the ending is not good if I remember.

Yeah most of us know how this is going to end.

[angelopetraglia]

Smashed in contested possession again. Any chance someone can bodyline the ball?

We need a ground level presence up forward badly.

Too many times when it was 50/50 and they just wanted it more. No doubt we need more of our players putting their head over it with intent. Macrae and Libba aside no one else getting their hands on it in close.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

50/50 game. They have missed some gettable snaps. I will back us to win as i don't wish to contemplate the alternative.

[Grantysghost]

I'm not going to make it through this game.

Like the idea of Dunkley tagging though.

I'm with you im less confident now than prior to the game.

They look far more likely to score.

[Mofra]

Libba keeping us in it.
Stop Parish and we win

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Challenge accepted!

We'll win this game.

We've got nothing from Treloar, Dunkley and Hunter.

We need our forward line to stay at home and we need some forwards at the fall of the ball.

Our intent has lifted and if we can get more lift from some who haven't they won't be able to hold us.

Reckon we've seen their best.

Brilliant. We can win this. Bont seems to have a different role but threatens.
Two quarters down.
My fear of vomit has gone.
Macrae is playing reliably and heroically.
The page is about to be turned.

[Jeanette54]

Naughts is such a good leading forward, so much more effective than continuingly attempting the big grab.

[Bullies]

Has Dunks still got the sads and doesn't want to be there?

He is a shadow of himself.

Certainly won't be worth a Pick 1 & 2 anymore.

[bornadog]

I'm with you im less confident now than prior to the game.

They look far more likely to score.

I am still confident we can win this.

[Grantysghost]

I am still confident we can win this.

Pray you're right this one will hurt.

[Mantis]

I am still confident we can win this.

What are you seeing that is making you confident?

3 goals from frees tells me we’re finding it hard to score.

[DOG GOD]

As usual we seem to be standing off the opposition waiting for them to turn the ball over. I just wish we would attack the ball and get it ourselves and be in control of it.
Dunks and treloar look like they’ve run a marathon and are very treadmill like.
