WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R8 2022

[jeemak]

True. But just goes to show our list isn’t as good as some think.

Which list is? We have at least six players out who would likely be playing firsts, including a top three league player.

[DOG GOD]

Surely either Cordy or Buku go to the backline.

Too late now.

[EasternWest]

So many times they are winning and clearing the 50:50 ground ball. Bad luck or lack of effort?

Yes.

[macca]

How was Shaq not the medi-sub? How?

I was thinking the same in this third quarter.

Flynn and Marshall are killing us, they are just too tall. Crozier had no chance to compete in that mark.

Richards is also getting beaten in the air.

Our tackling has not stuck tonight, and we fell apart in the half forward line in the third.
its been very disappointing the tackling pressure.

Come on dogs, string in together and go hard in the 4th quarter.

Something is wrong with our forward line in terms of crumbing. There is no-one at the front of the pack waiting for the drop of the ball.

WE cannot be that unlucky with the ball end up in Port players hands.

Losing O’Brien was costly, but why not make a move? It’s unbelievable. Is Bevo watching another game?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Even so, the list needs work.

[ratsmac]

We need our leaders to stand up and lead. Get the boys going. Too too many passengers tonight.

[josie]

Too many non contributors. Is Dunkley having a quiet one tonight? Would take a gargantuan effort with one player down and a midget defence. C’mon dogs - fight it out. Do something different - McComb and Daniel to centre clearances? Not gonna win it with current set-up.

[MrMahatma]

Not great but given our outs and now injuries not unexpected

A few wanna-be leaders not giving a shout! Dunks? Daniel? Even Libba (and I love him more than most things in life) just need to get their hands on it.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Would love to know the reasoning behind keeping Zaine as a forward. He offers nothing beyond a contest at best as a forward, while we have one defender over 190cms.

Obviously stubborn in that he doesn't want our forwards out marked like they were vs Adelaide, but I mean ... It just seems too obvious doesn't it?

Daisy Pearce commented after the last Naughton mark that that is why Cordy is forward right now. If he's not, Allir is likely to be a lot more aggressive and double Naughton.

[angelopetraglia]

Todd Marshall taking marks on midgets. Madness.

[azabob]

Calling for Cordy to go back makes sense in theory.

But in reality would be so any better than Crozier etc?

Highly likely the result would be the same

[macca]

After all the non-calls post a technical free kick night leading up to it, the Dunkley holding the ball really got me angry. Especially after the Port player slipped over and then didn't try and get rid of it but didn't get pinged.

another example of allowing the umpire to "interpret" a rubbish rule of prior opportunity.

So you slip and not dispose so its your fault its prior ?

I guess we need to kick goals and so if he keeps Aliir busy it improves our chances?

Prob is the mids and also some panic. Get it done!

Throw Buku back ffs if they want Cordy forward
