Western Bulldogs V Hawthorn R13, Thursday 5/6/25 at Marvel Stadium at 7:30pm

Poor 1/4. Not sure why our ball movement is stifled but we are lacking flow. Traelor looks underdone. No run out of half back

[DOG GOD]

Yes but this isn't just them fired up. We are deplorable and look like bystanders. Not manning up or running. A guy standing by himself after a throw in inside 50. What?

we aren’t switched on mentally that’s for sure. We should be, but we aren’t, and THIS happens all to often unfortunately. Lacklustre in every aspect. You could tell by the look on Bevo’s face with a lot of WTF moments.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

We really struggle to handle heat historically. Hawks despite being undermanned were always going to come out swinging. Predictably we served that up. We always do.

[chef]

We just can't be trusted.

[comrade]

Can Naughton get contacts or something? Bloke’s eyesight must be shot, the way he runs under EVERY SINGLE pass.

[kruder]

Not sure what we are thinking with Richards. He is now pretty much number 1 mid move others out to fit adam back in at times.

[Jeanette54]

Nobody is prepared to chase their man, hence the number of free Hawks moving forward.

[DOG GOD]

Meek and Newcombe AGAIN lol

[Bornadog]

Hawks always start well. This quarter will tell us more. Mids are on top, cont poss up clearances up so some good signs. Lack of inside 50s is the issue

[merantau]

I can only think of two positives - Rory Lobb
and there is plenty of time to turn it around

Did they even bring heat? Felt like they just dominated uncontested ball as much as anything. Don't remember a big tackle. We were crap.

[comrade]

Forward line looks impotent tonight.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Supporters blaming the coach when we just haven’t come ready to compete at 100% and senior players fumbling under pressure is embarrassing.

Time for players to own the mindset in these types of games. This was coming all week.

Nah we've never been able to compete with the top teams in 10 years except maybe once.

Looks like that'll continue.

[lemmon]

The bright side is keeping them to 7 scores from 18 inside 50s. Backs have held up okay

[EasternWest]

Sanders great spot up.
