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

[Sedat]

Dale dropping a mark in scoring range only for them to goal instantly is just so Bulldogs coded against top 8 teams. Sick of being frauds.

Bramble spoiled him. The Clydesdale should have stayed clear of the Stallion.

If the match continues along the current trajectory, there's your moment right there - 2 goal turnaround followed by another instant Hawk centre clearance goal, so basically 3 goals.

[JanLorMill]

Too many players not built for pressure football, some we knew about for years.

[jazzadogs]

Man the issues tonight are so much bigger than Ryan f'ing Gardner. Talk about scapegoat!

The whole side has been crap, outside of possibly Lobb and Matt Kennedy. Letting Meek and Newcombe dominate another game against us has me f**ing FUMING and has nothing to do with Gardner.

[Bullies]

The Buku experiment is over

[Grantysghost]

Hawks mids too good.

Meek is a big presence.

Treloar is non existent.

To be fair, English was held by the arm in that contest where Gardner ALLOWED Chol to mark.
We showed a bit that quarter but managed to undo it all and once again we allow a team to score with the last kick of the quarter.

Wasn't the moment when they kicked a goal within 20 seconds of the game starting? I feel like that said everything.

It is infuriating. Newcombe just loves playing us.

[JanLorMill]

Boy, do we need Sam Darcy

He won’t save us

[jazzadogs]

Hawks ability to take a big mark when kicking out of defence or long down the line is a glaring difference. Naughts used to provide that outlet until his hands turned to concrete. Hoping he can turn it around, it’s not for lack of effort. We need to get well on top in clearances and centre bounces or it’s curtains for us.

I don't think effort is the right word, but he is getting outworked, outrun, outmaneouvred by Barrass, who moves like a 70 year old day 2 after a hip replacement.

He made ONE good contest. Both he and Buku are so easy to defend, take away their run and jump and they're nowhere.

[Bullies]

Outside the 8 is where we are at as a club. We like to bully the bottom teams but when called upon against the big boys they wet the bed.

[azabob]

Hawks mids too good.

Meek is a big presence.

Treloar is non existent.

Why stop at Treloar? 20 more to name.

Bont and Libba have been passengers. I get Gardner is not much chop but we've seen this midfield capitulation movie before against this mob - I shouldn't be surprised, but I am that it is happening yet again.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Still love you Jamarra, come back.

Buku has no idea where to run or where to lead. Take some time to watch him off the ball. It is staggering he has been in the system this long and still no idea.
