All the cred the finals generated. Lost in under 20 minutes.

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
The worry isn't losing, it's what dropping our bundle so comprehensively can do to us mentally.
We're being thoroughly outplayed, so fair play to Melbourne, but our guys need to show some pride.

Oh Hunter. That’s this 20 minutes.

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
The first thing we need to do is chase a competent 1st ruck. Martin should have been it but he's too beaten up, he can be a break glass in case of emergency player next year but we can't afford to count on him.
Secondly is a good tall defender. Absolutely done with Cordy holding down a tall role and Gardner should be a second stringer and not a first choice tall defender.

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
I don't place credence in the last Qtr. We've had to position ourselves ultra aggressively. This is what happens in GF's when you get behind the 8 ball and have to resort to crazy ultra aggressive posturing as a hail mary.
It's glorified junk time since the start of last Qtr.

Bevo got his pants pulled down from half way through the 3rd.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
