3 things Learned - Round 14 vs St Kilda, 2025

[GVGjr]

Lets hear about the 3 new thing learned from our game against the Saints.

Bump

[Aidan7557]

1. Freijah and Williams HAVE to stay in defence.
2. Darcy helps everyone.
3. Sanders is a great kick when he wants to kick it.

[comrade]

1. Darcy is him
2. Bramble & Cleary are not going to take us to the promised land (Cleary fought back ok tbf)
3. Hopefully West got that shit out of his system because he that selfish stuff needs to go in the bin. Dish it off mate.

[Bulldogs201616]

1 Darcy staying fit is the difference between us being a contender and not.

2 People who wanted Naughton dropped should apologize he looked way better with Darcy helping.

3 we made the right selections in 2023

[ArsenalFC]

1.Didn’t mind Dolan today, I think he can play that role.
2. I love the fight till the very end. Naughton was chasing out of the F50 with 30 secs to go. That’s the right mentality.
3. Buku has a place up forward.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

1. I know we need a scalp. We've beaten no one of note, but overall I can definitely see marked improvements in our side. I think our bottom 6 have become more reliable and the fact Bont had only 13 possies in a 12 goal win, I'm happy with that. Sa
2. Saints must be seething not to have beat a door to JOD in retrospect. He's looking a 10 year player and with his old man's Saint's connections I'm amazed he got to us.
3. I think we have a game style that will stand up in finals. Whether our player's mindset and confidence can, is not something I've yet learned.

I love Dolan. I remember a Simpson's episode where Bart and Homer are watching these group of assassin's try and get him, and there's an Asian guy standing there not doing much and Homer says ' What's he gonna do, you know it's gonna be something good'.
I think Dolan is going to do special things. He looks an X factor with smooth skill and awareness; he just needs some more time to get used to the level, and for his body to get harder

[westbulldog]

1. That was the win and percentage boost we needed but don't get carried away, St Kilda are no yardstick.
2. Ed Richards and Bailey Dale are AA locks.
3. Kennedy is proving to be a very good recruit.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

1. I'm a fan of Hynes. Has 'it' - strong, smart, clean. Needs time but I'd like to see him play more minutes. Expect him to be best 22 in the near future.

2. Saints are worse than I thought. Kinda feel for their supporters. Long road back to contending.

3. Thursday night footy is more enjoyable from home. Glad I didn't go, poor attending crowd of 20k too.

[Bornadog]

1. Darcy is an incredible player and we really missed him the past 8 weeks.
2. You can't tag all our mids - Bont tagged for the whole match, but we still had Ed, Libba, Kennedy and Treloar doing damage.
3. Loving the work of Davidson, Dolan as two first year players plus Freijah in his second year who will be around for along time

[BontlowSzn]

1 - Unbelievable that teams still go into games not tagging Bailey Dale. We struggle moving the ball when he's quiet. If I'm coaching against us, he's getting a tag before Bont/Richards.

2 - JOD and Lobb are becoming super reliable. I feel at ease when one lf them are in a contest that we won't lose it.

3 - Whatever happens win/loss wise the next 10 years doesn't really matter. I get to watch Sam Darcy every week. Incredible player.

[Mantis]

1/ Sam Darcy is a difference maker.

2/ We love beating up on mediocre teams.

3/ We still need a scalp.

[dukedog]

same as the sentiments above. Darcy seems really casual on the field and looks like he is barely trying sometimes when he marks. Back when Naughton was marking everything he looked like he had to expend so much more energy. Also Darcy is a fabulous kick of the footy. If and i mean if, Jamarra comes back to play. and they can get it to work. Jamarra, Darcy, Naughton is a freakish forward line. it would stretch most teams when firing. I don't want to say it and put the Mozz on him. But at this rate. He will rival Bont in his significance to the team very, very soon. crazy talent.

[chef]

1. Can't get excited about wins like that, just a training drill. We need a scalp.

2. Crazy that the Bont is probably our 3rd most important player nowadays. If Ed had a head like Baz he'd be the best player in the game and Darcy is going to be a joy to watch the like 10-15 years.

3. Thursday night football is all that's wrong with the modern game. Cash over fans and it sucks.
