    Re: WB Game Day V Sydney Swans R3 2022

    Need to eat a little bit of humble Pie after last week. Gardner and Keath both superb tonight. Tough. Took intercept marks. Stood up when it counted. Like what I saw. Bailey Dale was also absolutely superb back there tonight too.

    However, as Bevo said at his mid week presser. It helps when you apply pressure to the ball coming in.

      Really happy with the performance tonight. We played very well I thought for the whole game and it would have been crazy had we not won that.

      Our kicking at goal needs to be looked at as that will cost us games in the future.

      Great to be at Marvel tonight celebrating a Bulldogs win again. I use the car park now there at Marvel and put my Doggies scarf out driving home.

        Nothing better than a win on home soil and driving home with scarf out the window. Love it.

          Keath had 12 marks tonight. 2 marks last week. Such a difference to the team when he is clunking them.

            Yep Keath and Gardner both did well down back. Keath a lot better tonight. I thought Hunter was very good as he has been a bit out of form as well.

              It is a great footy tradition putting the scarf out the car window when we win.

                Our midfield did a lot better putting pressure on the ball carrier, that let our defenders really control the game.

                  Goal kicking aside, and excepting the fact we looked like we ran out of petrol tickets, that was a game played almost exclusively on our terms and rarely looked like dropping.

                  Not a great performance. But it’s a good sign that we can be a bit off and still put ourselves in the position to flog a challenger like the swans, would have been nice to see that.

                    Agree 100%. I was expecting a much closer contest. In reality we dominated the game and won easily (just listen to the Longmire presser) but our inability to convert and their ability to take their chances kept them in it. Tonight was a good sign that if we bring our best, we are a contender.

                          That was sublime. I was right in front of that kick and it went like a tracer.
                          Two better kicks only, English finding Bont on the wing and Buddy's goal which I was in front of perfect view between the sticks.

                            So much to like in that clip. Libba storming out of the contest, Marra halving the contest with Rampe, VDM with the 20 metre hand ball and Bont with the sealer.

                              Its only a little thing, but I loved the way JUH went back and bodied Rampe to make sure the ball came to ground and created the goal.
                              More of an In Bruges guy?

                                Yep - Marra's contest v Rampe was actually massive.

                                Rampe is one of the best defenders in the league and very experienced / strong. To push back hard and not be outmarked was a great effort.
