That quarter, makes what we threw up in the first half even more frustrating.
Clearly that 3rd quarter showed, that we are defined as a team by an all in effort base. When we don't get 100% from all 22.. we fall down.
When we do get the requisite effort and maniacal commitment from all, we can compete with the better teams

Razor Ray what a flog. There was nothing wrong with Boyd's tackle on Bartel.

This last 15 minutes and how we play, now it's dusted, tells me whether we are going to win a finals game this year, or go out without a win.
If we fight back and can get it under 4 goals, we've got some mettle. If we let it blow out we're kidding ourselves and the football community.

Dunkley is a competitive and strong young man..but he does not have very refined skills.

Well I hope they are hurting because that was pure unadulterated embarrassing crap.And what is worse we did it on prime time viewing.

Well, we are not as bad as the end score. We all know that. But not as good as Geelong I would say, even on a good day.

Re: Game Day Round 13 2016 - Western Bulldogs V Geelong

I swore to myself that whatever happened this year I'd just enjoy this team and the way it played. Of course I didn't expect poor effort VFL level embarrassment. Lack of depth is a killer.
Kind of glad it's a bye, I need some time off.

I think so too.

We'd need an interstate team at home and I'm not sure the G doesn't advantage The Crows and Eagles more than us.

Disappointing last quarter to top off a poor performance. We can write off some of this to injuries but we looked flat and we weren't up for a fight which isnt like us.

We get them again so it will be very interesting to see what we can improve on.

Did we get a crowd number?

We got a football lesson tonight and it's definitely a reality check. We looked good for one quarter. We needed to take our chances and we didn't. We hit the post twice we missed set shots, we could not buy a goal. But the worrying thing was the ease with which they scored, the ease with which than ran the ball out of defence and their dominance out of the centre stoppages. The bye has come at the right time as we looked cooked tonight.
