Game Day Round 11 2016 - Western Bulldogs V West Coast

[ledge]

I'm waiting for that one game when everything goes right, whoever we play that day will lose by 150 points.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

All the set shots will go in

Loved the endeavour, commitment, set up and backing up of our men. Great team of warriors. Toby please be ready with some match practice before finals. Our depth has been tested and has served us well. Only Webb, Honeychurch, Collins and Hamling left to cover for injuries or drop in form. Tom Boyd, Wood and JJ in the waiting wings. The marking of Campbell, Roughead and Redpath very important now. Hope either Redpath maintains/improves form or Tom Boyd can come in and have an impact as we prepare for finals.

Don't forget Big Will, Lin Jong, Bailey Dale and Z. Cordy. But point taken. Injuries have tested us and it's a testament to our depth that we've been able to cover the outs each week. Go Dogs!

[Eastdog]

Really looking forward to having Crameri back in the side next year. He would certainly come in handy right now but in saying that we are doing a decent job up there still.

Clay Smith - How do we see him fit in when he comes back?

[Bulldog4life]

This can easily be fixed. Our current average is 91 points per game and we have played 5 of the other 7 in the current top 8.
An improvement in our conversion of set shots could easily add 12 to 15 points to our average score. We would then be in the zone.

The next 11 games include 7 against teams in the bottom 10. We just need to score big in a few of those to bolster our goal scoring confidence.

Good point. Sadly we only play Essendon once.

Those votes really show that we dominated the contest. Even Simpson couldn't find a Weagles player in the top 5.

Our top 4 year to date are all babies. Going to enjoy watching them for the next 10 years.

Moz is a gun. Must be on 18?

Clay Smith - How do we see him fit in when he comes back?

Clay is the most inside of all the inside players we have on the list. Great at stoppages and dangerous as a forward because of the way he goes in and uses his tremendous strength.

[merantau]

Clay kicked 4 goals on debut I think. Or is my memory fooling me again? I look forward to seeing him out there again.

You are correct merantau

He really is the opposite to most of our list.
Atrocious kicking action, field kicking is iffy, but surprisingly good shot on goal.

If all goes well he may be able to sit under Big Red in the finals and slot a few for us.
