WB Game Day V Melbourne R11 2021

[Mantis]

Good sides aren't conditional with their effort or concentration. Our soft underbelly has been exposed against a good side once again.

I don’t get the soft underbelly bit... we’ve made lots of uncharacteristic skill errors and have quite a few good players out and the intensity isn’t quite there, but it’s not time to throw the bath water out.

Winning 47-40 inside 50s then cough up stupid turnovers

[jeemak]

Carey said something sensible then, he sees we're completely off.

[Sedat]

How did Lever not get pinged then?

Disgraceful.

Another shallow kick going forward from Bont and Brayshaw with another cut off.

Brayshaw been very good. Sacrificial game but defensively fantastic

We haven't won a final for 4 years, and there's a pattern of good teams shutting down this system the same way.
I think we've improved but tonight has me worried.
I'll mark it down as a learning experience and we will be better when we get some soldiers back.
Martin is very important.

[angelopetraglia]

If we could only concede this many inside 50s. We would take it every time.

[jeemak]

Funnily enough I think we'd be better off playing Melbourne at the G where there's more space.

Yeah, this is just a repeat of GWS final, last year's final, Richmond game last year etc

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Brayshaw been very good. Sacrificial game but defensively fantastic

Reckon MJP had the right of it. If only one of our minds did the same. Jack Macrae got another 30: you wouldn't know it though.

Sweet gives us nothing around the ground and Lew Young would have been a far better option.

[Grantysghost]

I think he's been our clear best. 9 tackles is pretty defensive.

[KT31]

It’s almost like I expected this. But I didn’t.

Unfortunately I did.

Treloar & Dunkley are rather important too.

We’re a very different team to those of the past so don’t judge this team against those... have some faith.

[Grantysghost]

There's the game there. Williams streaming out of defence, Mcdonald their tall forward busted his rump to pressure and Williams coughed it up to their set defenders.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Butler has been really poor. He's a kid I know, but looks a long way off it.
