It doesn't bode well when DFA impresses me more than Murphy, Cooney, Gia, Gilbee et al.

Lucky the Lions didnt kick straight early!

Agreed - he's done it to Hahn, and now a few more deserve it.

But nothing will happen, we'll crush the Crows and the Titannic will sail on.

Exactly, a win next week will simply wallpaper over the hole, time for a few players to have a rest.

No intensity at the contest. That is what we have prided our game on in recent times. That was the real disappointment. We just expected it to happen. Still can't believe how easily they brushed us aside and basically won every ball in dispute in the middle of the ground.

And .... how many chest marks did we drop? Looked like under 10s there for a while.

Alright Captain Smith, how do we avoid the iceberg?

I think we have already hit it.

Ok we probably can't play any worse than that and we all know that our best is as good as any team in the comp so we just need to hope we can deliver our best on a consistent basis.

Well, on a positive note Rocket will have plenty of people to yell at. And we'll be underdogs for the premiership again? edit: If we play like that again we'll be lucky to make top 6.
Disgraceful, disgraceful performance.

Would not make the eight.

70 plus inside 50's to the Lions. We are so lucky they butchered it in front of goals

In April?

Geez, you over-react at times.

You're still optimistic? Did it end being a ten goal turnaround? And our midfield went missing?

It's not losing two early games, it's being comprehensively outplayed by the two finalists.

We need to deliver our best for more than 20 mins...or more correctly, somewhere even near our best.

Playing two key forwards(Hahn isn't one) would be a start. One of either Grant or Jones needs to play each week.

Re: Game Day - R4 Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane

The half forward line was smashed. Murphy and Hahn had 16 possessions between them. Hill wasn't much better and poor old Hall, the ball hardly went to the forward line in the second half. Although Boyd, Griffen and Cooney got a bit of the ball, the turnovers were terrible.

Hard to find a winner around the ground. Lake did well but he was under siege in that last quarter and Brown got some easy marks. Other than Fevs goals in the third quarter, Morris held his own.

We looked lethargic and just have to put this behind us and look at next week to re group and get back some confidence.

I'm not high-fiving, but I'm also not about to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Re: Game Day - R4 Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane

We may even struggle to make top 4. Few ahead of us...
Geelong, St K, Coll, Swans, Lions, even Freo?
