First goal - Hahn always cashes in against the bombers - so he will get the first.
BOG - Cooney tears Essendon apart - he'll get 3 votes and move into the top few in the Brownlow betting.

Re: Game Day - R10 Western Bulldogs vs Essendon

North seemed to get it into their forward 50 a hell of a lot last week. Fortunately there is something in the water there at Arden Street and they could not kick a goal, even from point blank range.
Anyone want to comment on this?

With a side that lacks depth and class their cause wasn't helped with no Petrie, Hale or McIntosh and losing Liam Anthony. With that said, their focus was not on winning a game of football but putting their focus and energy into trying to rattle us. Fact is, they tried to look hard but were soft at it. If Brad Scott did have a plan to win that game last week it was way off the mark. If they go into Round 18's clash with a similar strategy they will get destroyed again.

mmmmm. Foward fifties = chances on goal.
North missed a heap of chances last week. I agreed with Brad scott post game, as much as I dlislike him. Their plan only needed straight kicks and they would have been in the game.

Forward fifties by themselves mean little, the quality of them is where it's at and is why we appear at times to hesitate in bombing the ball in. North's poor use works in our favour as resultant turnovers gives us an opportunity to start an effective forward push. North don't switch up to improve the quality of their delivery anywhere near as much as we do. Brad Scott's a nuffie if he believes winning is all about the quantity of inside 50s particularly against the strong sides that push back. The good team's work their butts off to get that effective disposal inside 50 as we endeavoured to do against the Saints a few weeks back.

First goal to Hahn.
BOG to Lake.

I'm expecting a tough game. Essendon usually make life difficult for us in the first two to three quarters, before we're able to run away with it.

Forward 50s = kicks into the forward 50. Nothing more, nothing less.

In soccer, the long ball system gets the ball into the attacking third, but ping aimless long balls at a team with good defenders, and they'll just mop it up and regain possession.

In footy, an aimless long kick into the forward 50 is just handing possession back to your opposition.

The idea is to pick the 1st Bulldog goal scorer regardless of if it is the 1st of the game.
