Western Bulldogs V Fremantle R24, Sunday 24/8/25 Marvel Stadium at 3:15pm

English has been ok in the ruck contests but the dropped marks have annihilated us. He takes 3 or 4 of them and we’re still in the game.

He can't hold a mark for the life of him.

[Mitcha]

Seriously need to find some leg speed and lots of it moving forward, Butters would be a great start. Once the oppo get the ball on the outside we are done. Another season done following the Western Bedshitters.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Should have subbed Lobb not Busslinger

Not sure that taking Buss off was a great choice. We don’t have another tall Blackman and the three talks they have are winning big time

[mighty_west]

We just can't handle real pressure, and when sides play attacking footy we just can't keep up.

[chef]

It’s always Bevo, FMD. They are a better team than us

Don't agree, the list are probably of a similar strength.

You don't think we are being out coached?

Freo have done a number on our mids and defence.

[chef]

We looked good while Darcy was rucking.

English just doesn't have a real strong presence, hes the perfect 2nd ruck.

[ledge]

Who goes in the back line?

Does it matter ? We need to attack

[G-Mo77]

Picked a pretty bad time to have our worst outing. Oh well, just not good enough which is what I have thought for most of the season. We're not far off, it's not all doom and gloom.

[comrade]

Two of the more embarrassing moments of the season (in a season with plenty of them) back to back in that passage. Well done Bakes & JJ.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Croft was good in close then. We has been good the last two weeks

we aren’t too far off the “8” but miles off a premiership with this defence

[ledge]

We didn’t use Darcy or Naughton with their strengths.
I have no idea what we were doing or planning leading into this game.
bombing it forward no actual picking out leads .

Freo have done a number on our mids and defence.

They have way more class in their outside running players, their mids are as good as ours and they match up well for talls.

Not sure Bevo kicked ten behinds, missing critical shots early, he didn't let them break easy tackles and I'm pretty he didn't tell Lobb and Darcy to have their worst games for the season.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

We're rebuilding. So no.

That's a cop out. There are sides playing finals with younger lists than ours. The list is more than good enough to play finals.

I think we've refreshed a little bit. But all top sides do that on the run.
