Re: Game Day - R8 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney

Yeah we did take it really easy in the last. But finishing off a goal should be a given

What did you guys think of Minson's game?

Very good.

His ruck work was good, I rated it better than Hudson's. I thought he gave a contest around the ground well and at times up forward, bringing our smaller players into the game. He made good decisions with the ball and used it well.

Very good performance for three quarters by the side, very disappointing last quarter. Stack was impressive and Grant continues to show positive signs.

This.

Loved the way Will broke that pack open in the first. Resulted in a goal. What we want to see when he rests up forward

Does anyone think that Grant should play a little deeper?

I think he should stay where hes playing now up the ground but when he gets abit of meat on his bones he should play abit deeper.

I liked it how Will was more confident today with his kicking and didnt look to hand it off as much he backed him self and it was good.

Happy with the 4 points, thats one win closer to a top 4 spot.

I think we were lucky to get Sydney this week, they were terrible today. I don't think we were that great either but happy to take a 6 goal win. I thought Lake was terrific and Hall was good too.

Don't know if I'm hard to please but i found that hard to watch. The game felt like a practice game to me and lacked plenty.

Bit harsh IMO, we took the foot off the gas as the game was won.

Not harsh, Realistic. Last year we lost games we should have won - Prelim final etc because we did not kick straight - so nothing has changed this year.

I don't care if the game was won - there are 4 quarters in a game - not 3. You want to be the best - play the best and that includes not taking your foot off the gas when you are 50 points up.

They thought the had the Saints game won too and took their feet off the gas and hello - what happened there.

Percentage is such a big part - not just winning.


Don't be complacent as it will come back bite you on the behind.

And yes I am hard to please because like everyone else here I want the holy grail and we are not going to get it if we think we have games won when we are still in the 3rd quarter.

Fair enough, I just didn't think it was disgraceful that's all. The only thing that I was disappointed with in the last was straight kicking(we had 7 scores to 3).

Ill agree that poor kicking for goal did cost us a 10 goal win today, no question, but our overall performance was excellent, Cooney was outstanding without his partner in crime, griffin, and Minson made an excellent disciplined return, he did all the team things today without doing anything stupid.

There is still room for improvement and we certainly do not have our best 22 on the park.

I was impressed with murph at CHB today till he got guitar knee# and sat on the bench for the rest of the game.

Good win, good 4 points to get, cos its going to be a long year.

Cheers

#Guitar knee is a rare medial condition only found in those who write columns for broadsheet newspapers under the title "football" but rarely if ever have anything to do with football.

Dr Zimmerman usually prescribes large doses of testosterone and bruce willis films in an effort to increase the manliness and thus reduce the susceptibility to Guitar knee.

Sydney missed some very gettable shots for goal too, can't factor in one without the other.

Griffin plays for Adelaide.

But I'll give you bonus points for the delightfully random assessment of guitar knee.

FWIW I was satisfied with today's win but echo the sentiments of others that taking the foot off the gas continues to be a concern.
