Vs Melbourne - Slaps and Sledges

[bulldogtragic]

Slaps:

A win is a win i guess.
Akermanis. The ONLY reason we won today.
A few others

Sledges:

Tommy Williams is overrated and make poor decisions and has questionable skills. Everitt is still raw too, but Williams ain't the messiah yet.
Murphy's hammy. Weak.
Senior players again, stat sheet says getting stats, but what are the really doing??? Hanh and Gia i will point my finger at.
Umpiring lots of very poor frees today both ways.
Lake going forward - you played there as a junior, yet look compleyelt out of place up forward


Just thank god we traded and got Aker. Why did we get Aker to win us games. He probably won us 4 to 5 games last year. That's at l;east another games this year he has won for us. Please go around again if we dont win the premiership. If we do i dont care

Was Hill out there today?

Did you think it was a good idea that he spent extended periods of the game playing out of a back pocket?

Some really strange defensive match ups today - you mentioned Hill, but Hahn also spent some time down there, as did Gia.

Speaking of Gia, how did you see his performance today Mantis?

He played both ends but couldn't seem to get into it. A few times I watched him and he didn't chase. On one occassion I saw 5 melb players form a squadron running from defence leaving all their Bulldog opponents standing flat footed watching them run it out. Hill was one of them.

To answer your question I'm not opposed to the idea of playing him in the backline however I think half forward or wing is his go.

Soft in my view.

1 great pass to Aker. Not much else worth mentioning.

I tend to agree. Stat sheet says he is picking up the stats, but i do not think he is damaging enough. Especially to the level we know he can be.

I thought he was disappointing, as he has been for much of the year.

Johnno has to be a stay at home forward for mine, he makes too many silly errors in the midfield, especially a game like today, apart from Aker, we had no forward line.

Harbrow, love the way he takes players on, but far too many turn overs.

Picken has been very good, but Aaron Davey burn't him today.

Gia, got alot of the ball, but again, too many dumb decisions, turn overs.

Re: Vs Melbourne - Slaps and Sledges

Slaps:

Aker obviously
Harbrow took the game on when he needed to, very happy with his efforts
Everitt is now earning his spot in the side
Welsh keeps presenting

Sledges:

Johnno getting his arse handed to him by a kid who doesn't even shave yet

Didn't identify all the others. Think Griffin was one of them.

Spot on the only addition is the Bald eagle poor disposal a couple of times that could have really hurt the "Dees"

Re: Vs Melbourne - Slaps and Sledges

Very insipid weak effort today.

SLedges:

Gia - do something! Anything!!!
Williams - he is not the messiah he's a very naughty boy.
The midfield - they look slow, and static - they watch someone running towards them and don't even break into a jog so that they can put the after burners on and get away - just stand there looking flat footed as someone else said.
Gilbee - what has happened to you

Slaps:

Aker - please play on next year.
Hudson - great smother saved a certain goal
Welsh - that goal from the boundary was brilliant - nice to see him a couple as well.
