    Re: Game Day Round 9 2016 - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs

    Had all the play in our half the last 5-7 minutes for nothing.

    Needed an extra goal, but right in it.. Need to start the 3rd qtr well as they will hit us hard while they are fresh.

      I love Beveridge and have complete faith in him but I really do not get Adcock. If we want a leader/role model out there, why not just have Daniel Cross/any guy who is finished but has a great attitude?

        All the bad things. Bad goal kicking, inefficient ball into the 50, loads of play for no scoreboard pressure, bad skills at times, howlers or bad mistakes by Roberts, Stevens & Adcock.

        Surely we've used up all the bad stuff in this half.

          Why does the Coach play Dickson up the ground. He needs to be in the forward line.

                I agree. Adcock has given us very little over enough games to work it out by now. With Jong getting rubbed out he will miss his axing this week and we can have this discussion all over again next week.

                  Do you think he would be playing if Boyd, JJ and Suckling were available?

                    Just struggling to get a score. Lets face it, we've had a couple of gimmes in front of goal and outside of that way we've really struggled in the f50. They get it in quick and long and score most of the time. We're holding up but I expect them to open up a big lead in the 3rd.

                      Ding Ding Ding. Great post. Crossy is way way better than Adcock. He might be slow(no slower than Adcock) but he is a smart footballer and is fitter than everyone else.

                        Really missing Big Jack in the forward half.

                          Sure Adcock lost his feet but he also showed a lot of leadership while doing so.

                          (Might give some benefit of the doubt with the turf as it is today)

                            We didn't need Crossy, or Adcock. I prefer HC or Webb playing today

                                Way too much easy ball coming out of our forward 50. Where is Dickson?
