Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Akerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr time!
2 minutes game over gotta love that man!

Hasnt Hill gone up a few cogs, this guy is freak material, tackling is coming into his trade and it looks soooo good.

Addison a forward target? How much can this kid give?
Did we have a player calling for the ball over the boundary line today?

As a friend of mine msgd me after the game with... if we played our normal game we would have won by 100,(blues supporter) my answer? just cruising, dont good teams do that, play not up to standard and still win.

A highlight was watching Browny at full back watch the ball go straight over his head for a goal and the head drop... mmm i bet a wrong decision a few years ago went through his head at that time.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

What a ripping bloke Nathan Brown is. Was the first to leave the field after the final siren and 3 bulldogs players had to go and make an effort to shake his hand. It was very apparent today that it is all about Nathan Brown and Nathan Brown only. Didn't the same Nathan Brown win 2 All Australian jumpers and play over 100 games for the red, white and blue? Karma is a a lovely thing.

He isn't stupid, he had to go design another t-shirt immediately.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Slow start and riddled with errors. How many out on the full?! However, still got a comfortable win. Even afer that ridiculous first quarter, I didn't feel worried. This team does know how to win, a welcome change to only a few years back.

I had to turn off the radio on the way home (3AW). Talk back was full of upset Richmond supporters with the commentators banging on about how it isn't Wallace's fault he inherited a poor list, he can only work with what he's got etc. Rubbish. He has assembled that list during his tenure and coming from a similar ladder position to the Doggies and Hawthorn.

Dogs have got off to a lovely start to the season and bugger all was said about that aspect.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Nathan Brown sucks. I have no sympathy for him. If he had have shown any loyalty, say that which the likes of Chris Grant showed, then he'd be with the Dogs enjoying our current success.

Happy to have another win despite the shaky start!

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Lowlights included:
* No goals in the opering quarter 0.6.
.

16 goals to five after quarter time erased the first quarter from my memory.

but overall not happy with the way we played.

I am happy we won by 47 points after both teams employed the rolling zone and made it difficult to punch through the defences.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Highlights.....

HILL!!! Fantastic game I thought. Everything he touched turned to gold. Must of set up at least 6 goals I reckon (slightly intoxicated)

Aker - Turns it on for 3 minutes and game over

Addison!! Love the attack on the ball as always but really used it well and provided some run.

Gilbee and Higgins were classy.

Lowlights....

Thought Cooney was a bit selfish in front of goal from about 50 out more than once. Particuarly that first quarter gimme goal if he passed it to Griffen.

Far too many out of bounds on the full around the half back area.

Tamblings game. Gotta feel sorry for that guy when opposition supporters want the ball in his hands.

His and Kings.
Some here wanted us to tag King!

Apparently Tambling had little sleep due to a new child. The Tigers fans were scathing of him today.
Still I didn't think much of Ray at pick 4 in a year of a poor draft but it doesn't compare to Tambling at 4 in a draft where Fanklin and Williams went later.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

I was absoloutly wrapped with the amount of pressure we applied it caused countless Richmond TO's and they really didn't know what to do when they got the ball. Our tackling was ferocious!!! But even thought Richmond turned the ball over at will I felt we really didn't put enough on the scoreboard for all that hard work, seemed to waste the ball at times around the field and at goal. I little pety maybe but I think those areas needed to be worked on. Playing a better side those TO's wont come as often and need to capitalize on them more.

Can someone tell me why King is even playing? His play today alone resulted in many goals for us. I wonder if he'll poll a vote in our vote count at the end of the year for this game.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Anyone agree that it was one of Eagleton's better games?

He made some silly errors, but did a lot of 1% things i thought.

Richmond have 2 players in the side willing to take a risk today. One was Rance and the other was King. The guy probably isn't up to it but thats why he gets a game. He attempts to take the game on which is what they need. If he played in a team where they were more of a link up handballing side he might even be able to hide his deficiencies because the bloke just cannot kick. Him and Tambling seem to have copped most of the flack and rightly so because they were terrible but I would be more concerned about a guy like Deledio. This guy is the future and he looked like he gave up the second Picken came to him.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

After hearing Nathan Brown today got 25 posessions the comment by Drew Morphett on the ABC today was 'not sure where'.

They have a number of blokes that can't kick, King is one of the worst.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

I hope the boys sort a few things out this week, some of that game wasn't flash at all. If we'd played 4 quarters, we'd have won by 100!

Aker for P.M !!! when the game was there to be won, he put it beyond doubt. That's what real champions do. He's such a smart player. I felt in that awful first quarter that Welsh might've given us something... hope he's back soon. Tiller did better in 2nd half, but I reckon he could make way.

I reckon Cooney is at about 80% fitness/health. Did a few handy things, but definitely out of sorts. Hope it's only fitness. Griff was down, but still love watching him in action. At times tries to hard to beat his man, doesn't always pull it off. Higgins is a gun - potentially the next Johnno for us ? (the small forward who can kick a bag), and Addison's work ethic is terrific. Josh Hill is exciting, a bit too laid-back at times, but the guy is talented - can take a great grab too.

Will and Huddo were really good I thought - Will with the efforts to make a contest, and Huddo's well-known 2nd efforts.

All in all - good to get that kind of win when we gave them a head start, and with several key players down. Have to love a Tiger thrashing! As for Wallet and Browny, the money-hungry traitors, as the great EJ once said "We stuck it right up 'em"

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Tigers

Skills were pretty bad from both sides but I was really impressed with
Hill- Electric, going to be a very good player
Picken- Fantastic to have a nuggety little, pain in the ass tagger who will scrag for every contest in the side. Fast becoming one of my favourites
Higgins-Clean and found a heap of it
Eagleton- Chasing, tackling and harrasing. The competition for spots in the side has really put a rocket up him IMO
Addison- Tough and so good above his head
Aker- He may have lost a yard of pace and his kicking lacks the penetration it once had but he has the best footy brain Ive seen, knows exactly where to go to make himself dangerous
Cross and Boyd- Worked hard and did what was expected
Lake- Probably our best played on Richo and beat him comprehesively
Morris- Regular Morris performance and managed to sneak forward and kick a goal

One the flip side I thought Griffen was a bit quiet and Cooney didnt look fit, he didnt have his normal zip today and looked to lack a yard of his pace when breaking away from packs. I would give him a rest this week and wouldnt take him to Perth. Williams needs more football, is still incredibly raw but the upside is massive.
