    Re: Game Day Round 8, 2017 - West Coast V Western Bulldogs

    And where was the outraged commentary? If a dogs player throws it, or does anything they don't like they're over it. A mammoth mistake denying us a goal, and well it's, 'hmm' 'umm'...

      I actually still get annoyed watching the GF. How that was used was overlooked because we played out of skins for the last 5 minutes.

        Much better being at the game as you don't hear the "experts" There is a tough 6 quarters ahead for me although may mute next week. I find commentary for Cats games sickening

            That last goal hurt.
            They are getting us with their intercept marking and goals from turnover. All known entities from a coaching perspective. No wonder Bevo looks as frustrated as I've ever seen him.
            If he can get the guys to execute to his game plan then we've got a viable way to victory.
            If not then they will stay 3-5 goals ahead of us for the rest of the game.

              I think we are in ok shape, we have 8 of the bottom 10 for touches. Lift that and we can run over them.

              Bont 8 tackles.

                I guess this is what happens when you have 6-8 out, just have a few too many passengers, but if we can tighten up and get a more even performance we can get back into it.

                Need a big lift around the ball, Libba and Dahl well off the pace.

                  Really need Libba to find some form.
                  Happy with Tom Boyd, Bont has been a tackling machine, Macrae(apart from one howler ) Redpath, Wood, Jong & Daniel
                  Apart from Libba we need more from Dahl, Dale, Matty Boyd & Webb.

                    Has lin Jong cemented his place in our best 22? Think he has been one of our best gain. Libba, Webb and Daniel we need a lift

                      Webb made a howler but at least I feel comfortable with the ball in his hands inside 50. Can't say that about most of his teammates.

                        And Libba. Both have been useless so far. We need them to give us something desperately in the second half.
                        They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

                          Suckling has more than used up any perceived credits and if he doesnt have a solid second half he has to be in some trouble as we start to get some guys back from next week.

                            They have been pretty lucky with some of those decisions out there. If we tidy up a bit we are in this for sure. They have revenge as motivation. I thought they might be a bit further in front at half time. I'm quietly confident on this one

                              Each have only 7 touches each.

                              Dale 6 touches. Matty Boyd 6 touches as well. Sorry Ozza, Matty Boyd is cooked.
