    Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R17 2022

    I wasn’t able to watch the game last night, but have recorded it. Win or lose I always watch the replay but after reading all the comments on here I’m thinking I’ll just delete. Was there anything positive at all to change my mind?

    Save yourself some frustration apart from a slight fight back the performance was insipid.

    So thinking back on it - is there actually anything positive to take from that game?

    McComb played 3 quarters instead of 4?

    West and Garcia.

    English came good and will be better for the run.

    Weightman looked back to pre elbow levels.

    Marra did a couple of nice things.

    Naughton never gave up though clearly playing hurt.

    Bont and Libba did their thing as best they could.

    That's me being super positive too. Can't find much.

    A few posters have mentioned English and gave him votes.
    Honestly I thought he was putrid. He should have DOMINATED the Sydney 3rd and 4th string rucks.

    He broke even at best.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Statistically his game looks alright. Watching it he was clearly down, that 1st quarter was dreadful. Maybe a bit reluctant due to another head knock?

    I thought he was hesitant early but went all right after qtr time.
    Even dropped into the hole a couple of times.
    Agree he looked very cautious.

    I’m struggling with what to think and say. It almost feels like the loss we had to have, to lay bare the things we’ve seen wrong in our team this year but have been masked by preoccupation with our bad kicking, or injury woes, or the great ruck dilemmas, or quarters/halves here and there which remind us of our best.

    But this has been a truly bad year, with few positives, no really memorable wins and a whole lot of serious question marks about players, selections, and tactical nous.

    Nothing has been done to correct the things that led to the GF capitulation. In almost every match including the wins we’ve seen even poor teams able to get a run on and score with ease.

    It seemed like in 2016 all those issues of mental fragility or ‘what exactly is wrong with OUR club?’ had been blown away but now they seem sharper than ever. A premiership with one of the all time youngest lists, injured players who missed out hungry to taste that success, a strong vfl side. And yet what has there been to show for all that promise. Our inability to build a dynasty from that is just as embarrassing as all the other things that have been so hard to live through as a Bulldogs fan.

    I hope when/if finals become completely out of the question there is a strong methodical review and we don’t think it will all be fixed with a new recruit here or there.
