    Surely Bruce gets dropped?

      Honourable loss yay to us. I'm filthy but it was still a massive improvement from last weeks effort.

          Bloody hell. We were good enough around the ground but that forward line? I should have went to sleep at half time.

              One handers. Strange flailing efforts with his arms swinging around wildly. It's like he has come from a distant planet and doesn't know yet how to mark a ball. I don't think I've ever seen a player so completely devoid of confidence in the one thing he's good at.

                Don't hold your breath on that. As Mofra pointed out we need to add a tall not necessarily take one away

                  He's not in great nick but KT wouldn't have got a touch in the same situation tonight.

                  No marking power on the HF line has killed us.
                  I don't believe that for a second. He was outmarked multiple times and dropped ones he got his hands too. Other times he was hit in the middle of his back because he misjudged the ball and was caught facing the other way. That has nothing to do with the quality of our forward entries and everything to do with a bloke that's unfit and out of confidence.

                  Naughton plays that role tonight and we probably win.

                    Libba had more contested possessions tonight than any player in the competition this year. Yes, I love him.

                      Effort was there. Need another forward to support Bruce. He looks tired & devoid of confidence.

                      Wally and Libba tried their guts out.

                      Possibly time to give Tim a rest.

                      And we'll have everything.
                      We'll share the joy
                      Just like '54 again.

                          The sad thing is that’s the sort of game you’d be happy with if we were up and coming. But we’re meant to be playing finals and pushing top 4. It’s just nowhere near good enough and we don’t have the right game plan. It just isn’t going to cut it. It’s just hack football. Bruce has a mare but to be fair no forward in the world would take a mark with our setup

                            It's not just about taking marks. It's about stopping your direct opponent from doing it, too. Failed miserably in that respect.

                            His lack of fight tonight was embarrassing, one of the worst performances in a Bulldogs jumper for a long time. Worse than Gowers last week, IMO.

                              Whilst Bruce is poor he is really playing a lone hand as our tall up forward. It appears he is being double teamed. He needs help (not just with his own hands) and we desperately need someone to assist. If Naughton is not available maybe play English forward and ruck with Sweet.

                                Port are on top of the ladder with 144%. If they are the best team in the comp ... gee whiz. So disappointing as this year is wide open and we have just not delivered.
