That was the biggest sucker punch!
Well done Saints. They new they couldn't run a full game with the dogs so they turned it into a one quarter game.

more like a quarter of a quarter.
Hats off to them for taking the opportunities they had though, and on the hand we certainly have to question our inability yet again to take ours.
It just seems to loom large over our playing group that whenever the question is posed as to whether we have the audacity to do what is required when it is required, invariably we answer with a no.

I have said for a few years if you take Brisbane when they were on top or even Geelong now and put a Doggies jumper on them they would find a way to capitulate.

I thought at the start of the quarter that if we got the first goal we would win by more than 20 points but being held goalless was just dreadful.

Re: Game Day - R6 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

When we were clearly on top, we failed to capitalise.

We deserved to lose - we seem incapable of putting teams away.

Good to see you back posting. Is it a coincidence that it coincides with a loss?

Good to see you miss my posts. Funny enough I don't post on here when I'm not in front of my Mac.

Thanks for your concern but as I was at course in the city for he Hawks game, and in a pub for the Crows game, it was a wee bit difficult to post during and after the game. Was home for the Lions game and again tonight.

Played with an iPad today - maybe I should get a 3G one to post for you during a game when I'm not at home?

I was back out in the country playing some good old attacking country footy. Thank the lord I wasnt in the city stuck inside watching this tripe. I am shattered at the loss- my housemate is constantly reminding me of the record of the teams we have beaten. We need to turn this around. I don't want to go through my life without a dogs flag, and this is our best chance. I've got alot of years ahead of me but you never know. Pull your heads in, dogs.

Why did Lake go forward when Kosi went into the ruck?

Why did Johnson go into defence for the last 10 minutes?

Why are our players gun shy?

Presumably that came from the coaching box. What do you think was Eade's rationale?

Perplexing wasn't it? The only thing I can think of is that Rocket was desperate to get a score and thought the forwards weren't going to get it done.

We couldn't get our hands on the ball and our backs were under siege. Might be a good time to get our best defender down there?

Johnson is a forward plain & simple and if he can't get the job done down there it might be time to look at soemone else who might because him going into defence just has not and will not work.

It's not a move I would have made but I can't think of another reason. Lake can play on smaller guys in the back half if necessary because he has the pace.

It would be interesting to hear the logic.

Re: Game Day - R6 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

Eade was out coached. For the saints to play the same game plan for 4 quarters and for us to have no answer is a coaching failure. Too many passes across half back and then going wide hoping to hit a target. IMO we should have set up with Hall and Roughead in the square with a couple of smalls nearby crumbing, and two half forwards out wide to keep their defenders hones, with the instruction for the midfielders to run down the middle and bomb long to the square.

Been on a bender?? You couldn't be straight and honestly believe this?
