Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

My aunt just switched over. Rude ****, I was watching the game. She saw us losing, laughed, then switched over. And says;

"Oh its Grandads old team, the Lions. You should be supporting them. Oh its up there, haha, oh, they'd have a home ground advantage"

NO S** YOU STUPID WOMAN. Oh man, I hate my relatives. I think we can all agree she is senile.

Anyway, Luke Power just kicks a goal, hoorah. He screws up every other game, why would he do anything that helps out Brisbane in some way against us?
(Note: he usually might not be that bad, I am just reeeeally pissed).

Apologies for a ranting, unrelated post.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Great move run us into the ground at break so we lose our games and lose all our confidence?

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

I think that Hill's been quite good actually, but we have just been awful this quarter- the commentator's say that they know we'll come back..I'm not 100% convinced.

OH MY GOD ADAM COONEY YOU WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR IF U KICKED THAT GOAL

....but missed it.

Hill has taken some very important marks so def not the player to get on the back of...Farren Ray however has not been great

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Game over... and I'm fast losing my faith in this team to do anything this year.
Having teased us for the better part of the season, they've really let themselves down badly.
I understand we can't win every week, but there has been absolutely no honour in our losses in the past month.
I can handle it when we play to the best of the teams ability and lose to a better team on the day.. but I am sick of this sh1t we've been serving up. I just can't believe this is the same team that was so inspirational for the most of the season.

We seem to be a team that can only play when teams allow us to play the way we want to...... we just don't seem to be able to adapt and change our style effectively when things don't go our way.

Just when I think I can't feel any more deflated than I have over the past few weeks watching us play... they find a way to make it possible.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

For all the silver lining talk, simply haven't seen enough from our blokes over the past month to warrant any bankable confidence going into tonight's tilt...We could take another modest step towards regaining some much needed form, but we could just as easily mail in another flaky, half-baked performance.Dogs by 9 points
Hahn with the first major
Murphy BOG

Yep...I'm probably the only one here who didn't upgrade my membership. Not too unhappy about that ATM.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

I think the worst part of this loss is that I'm not really surprised...I tipped us to win and thought that we would, but deep down I knew we were a massive chance to lose, given the way we've been playing. They have alarmingly low confidence considering how high we are on the ladder- do we need to be 1st on the ladder before they start believing in themselves? When teams challenge us we just give up, and I don't buy the 'they had more to play for than us' excuse, what more of a reason to win is there than to go into the finals with great momentum and confidence? We didn't get flogged, but our ability to not play 4 quarters is just really poor. With all due respect to Brisbane, they were out of the 8 (not sure now) and we are in the top 3, if we can't beat them, we are going to struggle in the finals.

I was really hoping we'd be 7/7 in interstate games, but oh well.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Well if my mum doesnt get a game next week Rodney has got something to answer for, she should have played this week.
Think Rodney needs to fill in that hole in our forward line that our forwards keep hiding in because i have looked closely and i cant find it.

Well, still not keen on Hill (at all, admittedly), but you can say that, mister.

I stil dont think Faz is good enough. For fourth pick, he's really not lived up to expectations, and its gone on for years. Each year we look forward to him improving dramatically, after news of a "great preseason", but every year, we're still seeing the same thing, the same mistakes. Sure he's improved from when he first started, but much?

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

You see sides play in finals football and they have something that gets them over the line. We just don't have "It". I'm a pretty faithful and sometimes overly optimistic Bulldog supporter but after watching another uninspiring heartless effort tonight I really find it hard to see us winning a finals game at all. We are pitiful right now and the way we are playing we do not deserve to be in there!

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Still have a good away record

Aker & Cooney finding some form..Aker wasnt BRILLIANT but had a good 3rd qtr...

Cooney just dominated with most disposals, just like last time.

Reassurance is that away record and Higgins/West will come in handy..and brown didnt kick a bag..neither did bradshaw..

So theres a few positives out of it, but a pretty average second half

I'm sorry but Hill's efforts late in the game exemplify what is wrong at the moment. Guys thinking they can just motor along at half pace and assume the job will get done... and then only jig into top gear when things get desperate....
If Hill and others only want to turn up and play half or a quarter of a game.. then they should play a full game.....at Willy.

I don't mean to single out Hill here, he has plenty of mate at the moment who are only performing in spurts as well.

I reckon a half fit Scott West would show more than some of the fellows out there tonight.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Lions

Not to mention these pricks cost me top spot in the tipping this week and the guy at 3rd spot chose Brisbane to win so probably cost me 2nd spot as well. That rubs extra salt in the wound!

Had a bad leg problem leading up to the start of the year so pretty interrupted beginning for him, needs to come good soon.

Ray is ordinary - 4th pick? Laughable. What about that play where he marked the ball in the middle and AS per usual played on, run backwards, got caught and turned the ball over. This was at a crucial time too. He's useless; I generally try to remain positive about the club but I'm absolutely fed up of this crap.

Think we'd have some heart after copping it in the media the last few weeks. Think they'd want to start getting back to what they were playing earlier in the year. No, instead we play backward football with pathetic decision making & skills.

As usual, we show a little promise, then drive that hope right back into the ground - six feet under.

It's alright though, we'll be ready for Hawthorn
