[QUOTE=EasternWest;760353]Well that's it. Martin definitely not playing.[/QUOTE

Id be looking at all options to replace Young, wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Sulking because he can't play midfield? Surely there is more to it than that.
I'd be proud to be the orange boy of the Western Bulldogs, let alone step over the white line.

I just meant that that specific half hearted chase and surrender in the forward line that was highlighted made me furious. Terrible effort.

I'm not claiming he's sooking, I wouldn't know

Yeah there were two instances where he had clearly anticipated/ chosen the incorrect line to attack the contest and had an opportunity to adjust and stay in it but chose to drop the shoulders and follow through, and not get back in there.

Not a hanging offence but clear as day. Why he did it I don't know, but he did it, it wasn't good enough and he will hopefully not do it again.

However, most the of commentary is focusing on those instances and his low possession count which is OK, but it's also unbalanced given the pressure acts and tackles he notched up which were elite for someone who isn't sooking let alone someone who apparently is.

The media has been dreadful to us and I really hope we stick it to them in the coming weeks. And then if we do we rub it in their faces.

Good point
Let's just say he's not happy about something then. They made that claim on the show, but as you say, who knows. They did have plenty of evidence. Not a Kane Corn fan so hopefully Adam has a blinder this week.

A bit harsh. Against Port a few weeks ago he played very well. He’s not a ruckman but he shouldered that responsibility and still got 14 good possessions. Look at the stats for the others, you will be surprised.

Gee Treloar is copping it in the meeja isn't he.

However, most the of commentary is focusing on those instances and his low possession count which is OK, but it's also unbalanced given the pressure acts and tackles he notched up which were elite for someone who isn't sooking let alone someone who apparently is.

Found myself nodding along to both of these comments.

There's some ugly vision from Treloar that has been highlighted, but also very selective focus. He was clearly struggling at times*, but also had some great pressure acts as well as Jeemak notes.

For me the most critical part of the 3rd quarter was after the Lions kicked away to a 3 goal lead. With 4 minutes to go we were in a heap of trouble. Then Yorkshire has a great ruck contest with a vital second effort to tap the ball forward. Libba soccers it off the ground, and Rich has the ball basically marked before a desperate Treloar knocks it out of his hands. Baz scoops it up, handpasses immediately to Macrea who gives it to JJ who slots it from 50. And we're back to a 2 goal deficit.

Just a small moment from Treloar, but a crucial one where his desperation mattered.

He had some great pressure acts in the last as well, including the tackle that should've helped ice the game but Baz played on when he shouldn't have...

Obviously we want him to be better, and hopefully he can help drive us to victory on Saturday night. But it's not like his game was just disastrous, even though there were some ordinary moments.

Our footy media would be so much more interesting if they showed the good as well as the bad rather than going with the easy narrative and all the outrage that fosters.



*Is Treloar's partner still in Brisbane with their kid? If so, I imagine it might have been particularly difficult to go to the same city but have limited (if any) proper contact due to quarantine rules...

Hoping this all works to our favour in that it really propels Ads to put in a blinder.

Treloar midfield Bont forward. Treloar really should be tearing games to shreds.

What is a blinder?

Google it

[jeemak]

Google it

Thanks papa.

[Happy Days]

Man Google need to be taken to the ACCC for that ad. Seeing that ad hungover is emotional terrorism.

Hahahaha, the best bit is the original poster I responded to is based O/S so he has no idea about the trigger content he's unleashed on us all.

[Ghost Dog]

Sorry for that. I have no idea what else blinder could mean other than ‘tearing it apart’.
an excellent performance at some activity, especially in sport: - Cambridge

Mitch Cleary Luke Beveridge said Stefan Martin was a “break glass in case of emergency” option two weeks ago. Now the 34yo is firming for a shock recall in Saturday night’s preliminary final.

If he plays and is fit, we win.
