Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021

[bulldogtragic]

You already know the answer to that is nobody.

We may as well tag him with Dunkley or Treloar, they may as well contribute while doing nothing.

We are travelling OK here. Not sure why all the doom and gloom…

[EasternWest]

C'mon woofers. I dare you to be positive

Challenge accepted!

We'll win this game.

We've got nothing from Treloar, Dunkley and Hunter.

We need our forward line to stay at home and we need some forwards at the fall of the ball.

Our intent has lifted and if we can get more lift from some who haven't they won't be able to hold us.

Reckon we've seen their best.

[comrade]

Feel very lucky to be close. Let alone in front.

Against a team that won 11 games.

[Grantysghost]

We should send Roarke Smith to him.

Agree have to do something. 24 possessions and a goal in a half of a final is insane.

Dunkley was standing next to him at a stoppage, two seconds later Parish was on the end of a handball chain and delivering inside 50. Dunks nowhere to be seen.

I mean he came back rd 20, we've looked off since not sure why? He's so much better than this.

Positives we are in front and this is a very poor Dons side they aren't ready. We simply can't lose this.

[jeemak]

A lot of positives to take out of the second quarter, but it's very clear when we are having our lapses.

We're still not desperate enough, and seem flat footed on the ball that's popping out to spare Bombers numbers. Now that's either effort or we're getting too many ball watching or chasing.

Parish is making us look silly.

[DOG GOD]

Is there anyone but DG making noise for us there?

I’m hoarse and other than myself and my bro there’s about 800 Essendon fans around me lol
2-3 times we had the ball in the centre and running fwd with no one in our fwd 50.
Not sure what it looks like on tv but dunkley and Treloar shouldn’t be playing.

[dog town]

Smashed in contested possession again. Any chance someone can bodyline the ball?

We need a ground level presence up forward badly.

[ReLoad]

Dunkley is trying to sit on parish who is eating him alive.
Stop him and they are cooked.

[Bullies]

I think I've seen this before and the ending is not good if I remember.

[comrade]

When you have a midfield with a sub standard ruckman, and multiple players who either can’t defend or won’t, it looks like this.

[macca]

Filthy with Dunkley and Treloar. Pathetic

Both of them are not offering much at the moment. Treloars in the back, was just a soft pathetic technical call.

Some of these frees have just been rubbish

@Half-time

English needs to start showing some intensity and winning some of those contests. Exert some physical prescence please! Draper never should have gotten that kick off the ground that resulted in a Stringer's secondgoal. His allowing Draper to look like a star.

Those moments of losing intensity are killing us and result in 3 goals in that quarter.

Early on in 2nd quarter 2 bad lapses in the ruck contests results in Essendon goals .

Someone please start tagging Shields and Parish how can they get so much room and space.

Cody has been good. Very good mark in the centre of the ground.

At least we are even in the tackles the 2nd quarter. In first it was 8 to 18 in favour of Essendon.

[hujsh]

I'm not going to make it through this game.

Like the idea of Dunkley tagging though.

On tv it looks like a tight zoom on the ball so you have no idea what's happening. Same as usual.

Keep fighting the good fight DG. Dunkley and Treloar have had no impact, and I would also have JJ ahead of VDM. Lots of room to improve.

Anyone's game. We brought alot of pressure and our mids starting getting their hands on the ball. Inside 50s as usual need to be better.
