Bulldog fight needs to be back next Sunday

25-03-2018, 09:43 PM

What a dissapointing day it was. Our lack of fight in the game was awful and so many players not putting in and applying that pressure which we did for like 5-10 minutes.

Need a complete 180 in our performance next week if we are going to beat the Eagles back home. Need a strong start and that manic pressure needs to return. It will be for most woofers the first game of attendance for the season so they better put in.

Bring our best and we can beat any side even more so at home. I am confident of a big turn around It's certainly called for.

Re: Bulldog fight needs to be back next Sunday

I wish I shared your optimism merantau! I too want us to recoup and come out fighting but there was something striking in the manner of the defeat yesterday. I have never seen a team so lacking in intent and fight under bevo. Without being inside the inner sanctum its hard to say what kind of impact losing the experience in games and age we had has had on the group. We are a young team and i'm curious to know the where our list stood in terms of age and games played compared to the resdt of the comp over the weekend.

We were the youngest & most inexperienced.

Which is why I'm a bit puzzled why we are not playing our best side.

Was always going to be tough yesterday away from home against a possible premiership favourite but I don't think we expected to lose the way we did.

Turning it around 180-degree's is more optimal. A 360 means we end-up where we are at present!

That is all we want - Intensity! Fans demand that and I thought this was a non-negotiable in Bevo's team!

Quite right WBFC4FFC I'll change it to 180 in my opening post.

Yes agree they did alright. We need to be focused and ready right from the start.

Jason Kidd famously said he was going to turn the Mavs 360-degrees when drafted in the 90's in the NBA! (Unfortunately he did when he was traded for his bad influence in the locker-room at the time)!

Re: Bulldog fight needs to be back next Sunday

We appear to lack on field leadership with the grit and determination of Morris Murphy MBoyd Picken and Liberatore. The illness of Tom Boyd and injury to Adams also hasn't helped. WCE will be a good test to see where we are really at. Daniel Wallis and Jong have the right attitude and character to provide the hard edge that was lacking against GWS.

Western Bulldogs vs West Coast (ES) 3:20 PM AEST

It would be hard for the Doggies to recreate their performance in Round One, where they looked like a group of people being forced to do something against their will."
