The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Good
The Dogs first win of 2024 was set up with a 9.1 opening quarter, with The Flea making Suns defenders itchy with a career equaling 6 goals and what was pleasing was he kicked those goals in different ways, though set shots and crumbing and a nice speccy for his second goal.
Special mention to the intercept marking of Liam Jones and Buku Khamis that kept at bay the tall forwards of the Suns. Buku got himself a birthday goal as well.
JJ and Ed Richards provided plenty of run and link up play, allowing for quick ball movement and giving the forwards plenty of space.
The talls were great. JUH and Sam Darcy competed, bringing the ball to ground and allowing the crumbers to get to work.
The battle between Libba and Rowell was a great spectacle and was a pleasure to watch, with Libba having a goal to his name.
Naughton showed why he should be playing CHF with some great efforts along the wings.
Tim English was back to his best but it has to be noted his ruck opponent had only played 3 games (and had me quoting lines from Seinfeld), so he should have dominated. According to the AFL?s Fantasy Points, he did and was BOG.
The Bont goal from the boundary line had me saying ?Aw c?mon Bont, now you?re just showing off.?
The Bad
Stopping a run of goals is still an issue, with today?s game all about momentum swings, the ability of stopping a run of goals could be the difference between a win or a loss.
A couple of inaccurate set shots in the fourth quarter could have cost the dogs the game.
The Ugly
The Nick Coffield injury and Ed Richards concussion soured what was a great win but leads to some necessary changes for the game against the Eagles.
Changes could be Macrae and Keith for Richards and Coffield. Garcia put in a strong performance in the VFL, could he come in for VDM or Poulter? VDM had a better game than last week, while Poulter was fairly quiet. Does Harmes even get a look in or will he be playing his first VFL game for the Dogs?
