Flogs & Polishes

[The Coon Dog]

Bit of license from SEN.

Polishes:

* Fantastic effort after 1/4 time.
* Aker; nailed them at crucial times.
* Mitch, kicking a typical Mitch goal on his left foot.
* Harbrow's bouncing goal, was at an important time.
* Morris & Wight, who never dropped their heads & played important roles.
* Hudson & Minson, both were dominant & had plenty of the ball & used it well.
* Cooney, his workrate was right up there.
* Griff, slashing!
* Hill, great goal & one of the few who did well when we struggled early.
* Murph, presented well, really well.
* Loved the way the players sang Happy Birthday to Rocket.

Flogs:

* Hill; there's a time & a place for mark of the year, just not in the opponents goalsquare when it's tight.
* The umpiring in the first half, particularly the in the back against Aker when he grabbed the shorts.
* Our lowest score for the year!
* The first quarter. Can't give starts like that away too often & win.

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Polish: we kicked something like 17 to 8 goals after quarter time
Hudson so on top he pulled out ticks like roving to the other ruckman.

Flog: Don't want too many starts that bad

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Flog: Johnno not kicking a goal

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Polish is that we kicked something like 17 to 8 goals after quarter time

Think the radio guys said 17 - 5 after qtr time, dont know if thats right or not, i still dont even know how much we won by hehe.

Was great to see the doggie fans so dam loud, ive got no voice left, cant imagine what its going to be like in the morning.

But what we need is for all you guys/girls who sit on the wing is to stand up and get your bay and the bays around you to keep doing the bulldogs chant along with the cheersquad, and lets make some more bloody noise, and ang make it a real home ground advantage.

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Polishes : Cam Wight. I've bagged him as have others but his recovery after that first quarter was exceptional. Should of had 3 goals.

Re: Flogs & Polishes

It was 18 goals to 6 after 1/4 time.

Flogs:

* Umpiring -woeful
* Our start - worse.

Polishes:

* Everyone - Let's hope it has sank in that when we do the 1% er's ie. chase, tackle, harass that we are a damn good side. Hopefully we continue to play like that on a consistent basis.

* Aker - excellent finishing
* Hahn (the tractor) - improved on last week, great stuff.
* Cooney & Griffen - simply awesome....these kids are jets!!!
* Cross & West - worked super hard
* Wilbur - strong game.
* Morris & Wight - stuck to there tasks after 1/4 time...Loved Wight's confidence to take the game on and use his aerobic ability.
* Callan & Addsion - strong committed footy from them too
* Hill - the boy can play
* Harbrow - showed why off a limited prep he is a member of our best 22.

I could go on, but you get the picture... Super win...

Agreed. His ability and work rate to continue running off his man and presenting as an option was great. He took to a few marks and if he can get his goal kicking sorted looks a viable option up there - or perhaps in the swing man type role. Will be great to have Williams and Everitt back to allow us a bit more flexibility, but yes, Wight was great tonight and again held his nerve very well after taking a bit of a flogging early. Can't underestimate the effect of his mates harder work up the field which really helped him. We started to pressure after Qtr time and it all fell into place.

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Polish: Whoever's idea it was to bring Hudson, Welsh and Callan to the club.

Flog: Stephen Milne. Prat of the highest order.

Polish: The goal umpire who had the balls to tell Brian to settle down when he was giving Kosi some stick.

What happened here? Nothing springs to mind...?

We won by 38. Believe me I was sweating on us not kicking another goal in the last few minutes.

Towards the end of the 3rd qtr Hill tried to take a speccy in St.Kilda's goal square, but in doing so gave a free kick away to Ball which resulted in a goal.

3rd quarter. About 5 minutes left. Dogs up by 15 (i think.)

G-train bombs it to the goalsquare from 55m out. Hudson gets a simple punch by himself after Hill jumps all over Saints player and gets no where near the ball. Saints kick easy goal from goalsquare.

Re: Flogs & Polishes

Was right in front of me and I missed half of it.
Would have been great if it WORKED

** Channel Sevens telecast - At the ground the atmosphere was fantastic, on TV little crowd noise, commentators boring, special comments woeful.

** ABC Radio special comments by Parkin and Peter Schwab. Parko, retire please Schwab what a bore and both anti bulldogs. However, nothing wrong with the callers, ie Tim Lane and Gerard. (just heard bits and pieces on the way home, but generally they are great)



(I came home and watched the game again till 1.30 in the morning)
