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

[Mofra]

I think Crosslwy might’ve had a pie and a Winnie Red at half time?

Lack of conditioning starting to show. Draper running him into the ground outside of the ruck contests

I think we'll need to get used to him giving away some silly ruck free kicks as well.

[Sedat]

Gardner getting torched by an SSP prospect doesn't bode well for our key defensive depth.

[Mofra]

Brad Johnson is stealing a salary

[whythelongface]

So do we take Crossley or Brew?

Lots to work on with Crossley but think he is a better fit for us.

[kruder]

JOD forward and Croft on a Wing lol

None of the mids gunning for Treloars spot has stood out for mine. Sanders defensive running poor again.

Neither, keep the list spot. Just another player to feed, massage and manage.

[Happy Days]

Gardner having the worst game maybe of all time here.

[Mofra]

Busslinger putting his nose ahead of JOD/Gardner/Khamis for that FB spot for me

[Happy Days]

Really like Hynes. Really don’t like Brew.

[kruder]

Hynes is showing something, he always looks to go forward. Hopefully he can have a chat to Luke Cleary always wanting to slow it down and go backwards. Its hard to believe he is still on the list.

[Willow18]

Hynes is better than Garcia

[Rusty12]

Not fussed about the scoreboard or who is missing, more looking for personal growth and habits of the team.
Too much exit out the front of the stoppage.
Poor inside 50 entries, and no small F craft once it is there.
Deepest defender depth is as bad as thought.
Crossley is nowhere near it.
Poor tackling technique.

Freijah was fantastic.
Ed Richards and Williams first halves were super.
Lobb and Darcy were great.
Sanders worked hard, he is coming along.
Small sample size of Hynes, he is clean, will be a player.

I can see a future for O'Donnell as a defensive F.

[ArsenalFC]

My observations-

-Joel is a lock, composed and should compliments Dale off HB.
-Bramble just turns the ball over in Def50, not sure about him long term.
- Buss showed enough. Next to Lobb could be a good combination.
- Unfortunately Gardner disposal lets him down. Great fighter but just lacks that quality.
-Sanders with time will improve around the quality. Solid effort and worked all day.
- Crossley tap and body work was good, like most have said he will fade out of games. Not sure you can carry that in a team week in week out.
- Garcia does some good things but then lets himself down with errors. I hope he gets that side of his game out because he can be a good little whipper snapper. Could he play out of the pocket and just apply pressure?

Is anyone staying around for the vfl? Also is the vfl game on kayo.
