    Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020

    All I can glean is that Macrae and Crozier are playing blinders, Daniel is using the ball well, our defence has absorbed huge pressure and the inside 50s were 17 - 5 in their favour.
    Let's go Dogs. Rope a Dope. You've taken their best shots. They will lose heart if you just stick at it.

      Defence held up well. Keath & Croz v. good. From what I can see JJ trying his guts out tonight. Just need a few more fringe players to do more. Hope the wet makes it more difficult for their A graders to mark eg King. Our set up around where ball was headed incl crumbers behind pack great in first qtr, not so good in second. Also need to convert our chances (Smith, Bont here’s looking at you...).

      We are in this. Go Boys!!!
      Josie :)

      Our day will come
      And we'll have everything.
      We'll share the joy
      Just like '54 again.

          It really became a battle of the outnumber - was our extra in our defensive 50 going to help us transition the ball safely, or was their extra in the 'wall'/defensive zone going to stop us and keep sending it back in? Their zone worked extremely well, not allowing us to clear our lines effectively at any point - but our defenders and midfielders would not let them get any clean ball or contests inside 50.

          Not necessarily exciting footy, but definitely interesting.

              I think we need Lloyd, suckers is not a forward.
              BB.

              Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                  Crozier is a Demi-god. He has improved 1,000,000% on his Freo days.

                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                        Great player. I was ambivalent about getting him and was proven wrong within 3 or 4 games and he just continues to deliver.

                          Bruce should be leading, and trying chest marks. Big overhead grabs are difficult on a night like this. BTW don't be too hard on our forwards. Look at the opportunities their forward line has had, and they are no better on the scoreboard. Hopefully it remains that way.
                          The truth will set you free,
                          but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.
