Game day - Bulldogs vs Saints

[mjp]

Agree with the oldies comment, but I am not sure how much development for the youngsters that there is in being belted week in, week out.

I am absolutely dreading the march up the hill from work (Southbank) to the Docklands tonight. 2 weeks ago, I couldn't wait. Last week, I was resigned to the result but looking forward to seeing Tiller get a go...what is there to look forward too tonight? Grant and Darcy wont play many more times I guess, so there is that....but does anyone really think we can win?

Great fightback by us.

How did Eade turn it all around tonight?

I was out, only heard the last one and a half quarters.

Went to the footy and caught up with bornadog tonight. Whilst it wasn't a great game it was a very competitive one and at least we had a go. Very quiet in the 2nd and third quarters and we had a lot of trouble trying to score.

We stuck to the task though and even tried to pinch it at the end. Frustrating given the errors that we made in skills etc but it was at least a solid contest.

[Twodogs]

At least we came up with a plan to combat Gehrig, Kosi, Roo and company. It looked really ugly for most of the second and third quarter but I loved the way the players stuck to it.



How good does Everitt look?

How good does Everitt look?

Very good. Williams and Everitt should develop into the versatile talls that we have been looking for. I'd expect both of these guys to spend some time in the forward line next season as well.

How did Williams go?

[GVGjr]

How did Williams go?

Made some errors but did some very good things. Provided plenty of run, tackled hard and took a couple of nice marks.

Loved how Harris kept Gehrig quiet tonight. Didn't give him an inch.

Our first goal to Gia. Cross named as starting on the bench - hope he's okay.

Did you get it right last week as well?

Yes I'm on a roll!

There was a bit of niggle between them and was it at the end of the first half even Tommy went back and bumped into big Fraser a couple of times.

[LostDoggy]

Murphy playing down back seemed like a good move too. He played a better game tonight.

Yes and as Gehrig walked off Harris gave him a tap on the backside. Very funny.

It was a very good move that allowed Murphy to create some play. Murphy is an important player for us and we need him to be as good over the next few weeks.

arghhhhh

its not dissapointing but we had it for the taking.

amazing last qtr efforts by boyd,aker,everitt & gia.

grants kick out on the full was very lazy..we should have held posession and kicked backwards when it mattered. not when it was the first quarter! so many things we did wrong, but it would have been so much worse if riewoltd kicked it.
