Re: AFL Game Day Round 3, 2019 - Western Bulldogs V Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Stadium

So many poor shots from Bont, Lloyd, Gowers, Dickson and Dunkley.

We didn’t deserve to win and we’re still not a top 8 side.

Crucial we get JJ and Williams back. English isn’t ready and the ruck is a diabolical issue that I predicted some time ago.

Gold Coast played One on one and we’re just too good. We wasted our kicks into the forward line. Guys like Lloyd Dickson Gowers very disappointing. McLean hardly touched the ball.

In the end GC’s first quarter killed us

Grundy will be licking his lips for next week

we smashed them in clearances, stoppages centre clearances. I wouldn’t be too fussed about the ruck

Exactly. The problem was, especially in the first quarter, we showed no respect outside, and everyone tried to hunt the ball, leading them to get some very easy ones over the back.
And we shot ourselves with turnovers or fluffing opportunities to score.

You’re kidding yourself just looking at the stats. We rarely ever have clear takeaways because we simply never win a clear tap out. Never mind that, English is routinely out bodied on the ground and in the air.

It’s a real issue and next week v Grundy will be slaughter.

Did we get out coached in the first quarter? Gave up 6 first quarter goals and just another 4 for the game.
Full credit to the Suns though, they held some good marks and have a bit of pace.

The Bulldogs and getting hurt out the back. Name a more iconic duo.

Credit to Gold Coast though. They might have a rubbish history but they wanted it way more than we did today.

We can't be routinely taking a quarter to settle and for Bevo to get the matchups right. Good sides will torch us.

Do it against the Pies and watch what happens.

Don't know about coaching, but they definitely have a lot of pace. They look like a well balanced team now after shedding all the trouble makers over the years. They really should have beaten the Saints in the first game.

We won the clearances 44-30.

Is there a stat for high, indiscriminate lollipops into forward fifty?

I'd like to see that one.

Not sure I've seen a side butcher the footy that badly before...that was something else

The most entertaining aspect of the day was sitting near the Pickens, and having the kids running riot over the empty seats nearby.
