WB Game Day V Port Adelaide R23 2021

[dog town]

Make no mistake if they game continues on current trajectory we will get done. Need a lift around the ball and be a little bit cleaner with those release handballs. Win some loose balls, get some pace on the game again and force them to change the tempo.

Big half for Naughton too, a couple of big marks will make all the difference.

I know Hunter cops it for his 'easy' misses.. but just checked his time on ground.. He's at 95% and he's covered the most ground of anyone on the field....over 5km. He was probably absolutely knackered when he had that shot.

I love ya mate but that's no excuse for what was a dismal miss.

[angelopetraglia]

Need to start break even in the clearances. Getting smashed in there again. Need to lift to win this game.

[Mantis]

Are we really worse off with Sweet in the team instead of Young or Hannan?

Young has been ok and wonders lots more than Sweet.

Easton Wood is going to cause my remote to go through my TV.

Stay strong.
Kick the cat.

[merantau]

I can't get over the BS over the disallowed Boak? goal. It was a blatant free kick to Cordy surely. The Port bloke practically strangled him!!!

Was surprised he didn’t go around the corner.

Regardless of the result, do we bring in Sweet or Martin to ruck with Young and thereby keep English as a forward? Seems obvious.

The second ruck of Hannan isn't working. In fact Hannan, in general, isn't working so I think he's easily expendable.

Side note - I actually like Roarke and what he's delivering. He's big, hard and committed - he's in our best side.

Schache. Offers better skills around the ground. Can drop into defence. Knows the forward line.

Young for Wood in defence.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

A half of footy to play. 19 points up. On our home deck. Top 4 on the line. If we lose from here it’s the final nail in the 2021 coffin. Let’s see what we’ve got.

[bornadog]

I thought that was a tough quarter, they threw alot at us, but we defended well. They kicked a few behinds but under pressure.

[Bulldog4life]

We are winning.

Have either done poorly.. I think Young in particular has acquitted himself well. Hannan hasn't had a lot of possessions, but I think we've seen this year that's not necessarily the main measure for the MC. I think he's hit the packs, he's pressured and Lycett hasn't won pivotal advantages from the ruck contests he's contended with Hannan.
Sweet seems to get better the longer he's been out of the side. I think it's pretty clear his limitations outside of the ruck contest are what keep him out.

[angelopetraglia]

Libba has only one clearance for the game. We need to win it at the source. We need a big half from him.

[ratsmac]

Need to start break even in the clearances. Getting smashed in there again. Need to lift to win this game.

Certainly. We fix this we go along way to winning this game

[Bumper Bulldogs]

I don’t accept it. He’s done it his entire career. If he can’t take an easy set shot for running lots, stay out of the forwardline and don’t put yourself in a position to miss easy shots.

Yep my thoughts as well. Let’s face it this is not the first or second time this has show. It’s ugly head. But I would be more than happy for Hunter to be kicking to Naughton on the lead up if Hunter was on the F50
