Western Bulldogs V Essendon - Pre-Season 15/2/25 Whitten Oval 2.00pm

[jazzadogs]

Apparently Bevo interviewed at the ground pre game and said we will have 11 players swap over at half time, but in each half we will be sticking to the interchange cap.

Freijah, Kennedy, Gallagher, Darcy all started well.

Garcia still too rushed and clumsy, given away 3 or 4 free kicks I think.

[angelopetraglia]

Dyson Heppell in the commentary booth means it like listening to the Bombers cheer squad. Very biased commentary and insights.

[angelopetraglia]

Midfield without Bont, Libba and Treloar (and English for large stretches) have done well.

Richards and Sanders may vie for "second best mid" honours this year

[kruder]

I reckon Sanders is well off Richards pace, looks leaner but he doesn’t have the running capacity or the ability to hurt teams at this stage.

[Rusty12]

No Essay from me, will try to keep a few things that stood out.

DARCY!!!, no comment, just that. Lobb!!!, same.

KHAMIS efforts in deep defence, look a lot like last year, liability, cannot be picked in that spot if that continues.

15min mark of the first Q, scrappy center clearance and I50 entry, and then way too many numbers committed forward, easy shot for the Dons at the other end, that just can't happen.

Gallagher looks way more comfortable down back.

Will be great hearing Heppel whine everytime we get a free

He is painful. They need some balance in that box.

[ArsenalFC]

Richards is the best replacement for Treloar. Good first qtr.

Kennedy will give us a great defensive player, stopped a few counter attacks with his pressure and tackles. Lovely to see.

[hujsh]

Kennedy brings a good balance to things doesn't he

[Mofra]

Darcy with a clean groundball in the wet at 210cm.

Just taking the piss at this point

Lobb does the same, under pressure in defence. Yes pls.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Is brew out there?

[Mofra]

Is brew out there?

Nope. Probably part of the '11 player' rotation at half time

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Can someone tell me what channel the Bulkdog's commentary team is on? I can only find the one that has Dyson Heppel and his Fox footy mate crapping on ad nauseum about the amazing Bombers.

[Willow18]

Freijah very good I thought so far. Have loved Kennedy as well. Just a footballer’s footballer.

I so desperately want Garcia to break through but he just seems a moment slow at AFL level.

[kruder]

Lobb is a AA lock. Jones, Lobb, Freijah,Dale and Bramble going to be a good combo.

I didn’t realise Wembanyama was at the kennel today. That kid is elite.
