Can't fault him there. Just didn't look like he was right today.
That's what I thought too, wasn't his usual self but another good learning opportunity for him in a high pressure game playing the form side in the competition.
Re: Game Day Round 7 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Fremantle
I hate these type of games more than words can express. It's easier to get beat by ten goals than to SUFFER a defeat like this. You have no idea how much I despise interstate teams. I watch the game in Lombok, Indonesia. There is no one here who understands the desolation and despair that I feel at the moment. But as my pulse begins to recede and my rational self begins to function again I think to myself that today's game shows that we can mix it with anyone in this comp. We don't have to fear anything or anyone. After an horrendous start we recovered to get back into the game, then we were out of the game then we surged back into the game to scare the life out of them. This could be a game that we will look back on as a watershed game in our development. Some of our leading lights had pretty ordinary games whilst their leading lights were outstanding - it tells us that we just need more experience under our belts. I thought our defenders were magnificent today. We are definitely in the mix and going places. Go Dogs!

Like a lot of others I'm not satisfied with a loss, but I'm quite proud of the team and the way it fought it out.
Considering how many of our players didn't contribute to any great extent for the first half I thought being within four goals was a great outcome. It was pleasing to see the team gel in the second half and grind to a competitive position.
Dickson was fantastic, and really needs to spend his time closer to goal than he has been in recent weeks. I thought Dahl played really well, and I loved that he finished off that set shot in the last - I think that'll give him some confidence. Easton Wood was great, aside from a couple of clangers that hurt us when safer options should have been executed.
Roberts tried hard all day and should take something out of this week to go forward with.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Roberts is a clever footballer and I thought he showed that today. Like any other tall kid he needs games under his belt, more fitness and strength, and importantly confidence through hard work and some positive results.

Just lacked composure at crucial times when the game was on the line. JJ just snapping without looking in the forward 50 when we had free players everywhere. Bob Murphy missing Wallis with the 20 metre kick in the corridor.

Sitting in Savoy Tavern lamenting with a mate.
Said to him, "Do you realise we've got four kids in the twos who will debut this season? Hamilton, Hamling, Cordy and McLean?"
Plus Macrae and Hrovat playing twos? And Webb rested, not to mention Biggs?? plus A rookie called Roarke Smith who is playing excellent footy? AND we've just run the best team in the comp to 13 points? Chin up!!
Then there's free agency now - as a club on the up..
