Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

That last goal to Thompson hurt.

I'm loving the sound of Harbrow's work. Should be playing forward all the time in a Matthew Robbins-type role IM.O

Geez end of the third and we are four goals down - if we manage to pull out a win from here - I take back every single negative word I said about this team - COME ON DOGS WE CAN DO THIS!

MURPH!!!!!!

That cancels out Thompson's goal, 3 goals in it again.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Think Street just played his last game, blown away.
We need Ray running with Griffen.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

This game goes to show how important Hudson is to the 'new bulldogs'. Street's papers have been stamped I would suggest.

My mum will get a game next week and get more possessions than half our side.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Good to see that we are at least hanging in there, also they may still be feeling the effects of the ramped up workload, hope their right on that one. Pls Get up Doggies.

Provided she's had a full pre-season Ledge. Wouldn't want her to pull a hammy.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Thank god they fought their way back into the game - it looked potentially a blow out and a 60+ belting at one stage. I am not happy but I can stomache a 20 point loss against a team trying to break into the big four against a side who are comfortably in the top 4.

But geez we need to put a Rocket up Aker, glad we are resting Hudson because he is vital for our finals chances, and I am rapt that Johno is back to his old form - so a few positives I can take out of the game.

Felt sorry for Darcy calling the game - it must be so hard for him watching our dismal performance in the first half and being positive about the Kangaroos (sorry it is the only satisfaction I can get calling them that).

Other point - a couple of commentators have mentioned that Cooney has been off his game since the birth of his baby - perhaps loosing sleep or just not focussed - thoughts?

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Much better second half.

Positives are Aka getting some form back on Harvey, Ward playing well, Minson looking better around the ground with his ball use (at least compared to Street), Johnno and Harbrow.

Bad news: Can't stop Petrie, Street not such great backup after-all, poor start again, Rawlings, Wells and Harvey not being held, let them run back into defense and triple team Hahn.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Cooney, Griff and Aka looked much better in that second half.
good signs

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Well, if that was the NAB Cup we've just booked ourselves a ticket to Woop Woop for next week. So much for that strategy.

Stick the 2nd half fightback...good teams that want to be taken seriously don't serve up that slop so readily, again and again. Good teams may lapse, but learn from their misdeeds. We don't.

That's 3 losses from our past 4 outings.

Babies...increased training regimen...phantom injuries...forward planning...I've had it with excuses and the cliched lip service paid to what this team should be doing but hasn't for at least a month.

If I'm an opposition outfit come September, I'd be more than happy having to face the Dogs. That's precisely where we're at, and no amount of rationalizing makes that ok.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

I nearly left at half time (because I was bloody freezing - you notice it more when you're getting belted).
Stuck it out ... very abismal first half, we should be playing so much better - 2nd on the ladder with few injuries. Not many excuses for us unfortunately. Can't carry that kind of form into the finals.
I haven't given up yet but Hawks and Cats just seem so much further ahead of us.
