Game Day - R22 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Re: Game Day - R22 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

If he can improve his kicking at goal he will be an absolute star.

It is an area he will need to improve. When he does hit it sweetly, he certainly does get distance as shown with his 50m goal.
I wonder how MJP who saw him at u18 level sees his kicking?

Does anyone else agree that the 22 point target added a lot of excitement to the game in the last 5 minutes? We had the game won and I was more than happy with that but even the Collingwood supporters were just hoping their side could sneak the last goal in to drag back the margin.

I agree, in fact it was like a limited over a game. That smother in the final seconds then to hear the siren, how sweet that sound was!
I just wish Etihad Stadium had shown the live ladder after every goal, not just every so often.

Re: Game Day - R22 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

it did make it more exciting. All the Collongwood supporters around us were just wanting a goal in that final minute. They would have seen it as a win if they got it. So that makes it a double win for us.

For the Pies it would have been a minor victory, some sort of reward for being beaten.
Like TCD, once the victory was assured I was just willing the side to get the right margin.

And how exactly, perfectly right it was too. All this umming and ahhing about needing to win by 22 or 23 (depending on the score), how about putting all doubt out of the equation and doing it by 24? And how right it was that it was Johnno -- so much maligned for missing the final kick in recent times -- kicking the goal that put us over the top?

You beauty.

I'd say 2/3 is just as good as last week, since Everitt WAS a late addition to the team
2 weeks from 2 that ive gotten the margain right..this is actually quite scary!!

Hey B-RadBulldog, I know you've been asked about the lotto numbers, but I can't wait to see yourprediction for next week's game????

You beauty exactly - it was like a perfectly scripted play with Johnno sealing that margin late in the quarter. My partner is a Pies supporter, and he wasn't very happy with me last night. Said he was only stirring me, but I reckon there was some seriousness to the poor loser attitude, blaming the umpires, etc., etc.,!!! I don't rub it in, but let me say, the victory was bl***dy sweet!

How did people rate Cross game coming back early from his surgery?

You wouldn't have even known he'd had an injury, just kept on keeping on.

Some of his marks backing back were super important.

Crossy had an enormous last quarter. Love watching the attack on the ball from Cross, Ward, Picken and Harbrow - always happy to dive in head first, back back into packs and put themselves in the line of fire.
