Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney

Time to fess up Scorlibo, its ok you can admit it, you are Mitch's mum??

Fairdinkum if Mitch didn't perform well on the small SCG where his pace issues can be camouflaged then he won't anywhere. But we have bigger problems than Mitch.

In the bigger scheme of things:

Daniel Giansiracusa 2 33 41
Tom Williams 3 32 17
Robert Murphy 3 31 34
Brad Johnson 3 29 42
Adam Cooney 0 6 9

Our bottom five players of the night dreamteam wise, Cooney and Williams excused the rest are key players and leaders of the team. Didn't turn up....

And that is why if they all had good games then I would bow my head and say we are not good enough. But the fact is we played crap again and I seriously didn't expect anything else. That is why I am looking forward to the next few weeks and after what we have been through we will get better every week. We are lucky this isn't last year where we had to win. We have the advantage of time all we need is cool heads. PLEASE somebody remember back when we had the Saints on toast and remember back to when the Pies were changing their strides because they havnt improved since then and we will be back. It doesn't matter if we didn't win them games but a bounce of the ball is all it takes and I have complete faith that we can go with them all that matters is we keep our heads.....and hang on till Cooney is back but I seriously doubt the reports of 3 - 4 are right he wasn't at full stride so at worst it was tweaked and the docs knowing it was a dead rubber put him on ice.

Must be, there's been about 15 worse than him. Boyd the only one who got more than 20 touches and as usual his opponent killed us

Didn't say he was worst, just didn't think he impacted things greatly.

It might pay to sleep on it for a couple of days.

I have until the morning I'm supposed to leave(Sept.11) to change my reservation with no penalty(I'd rebook to fly out for the start of the 2011 season) or cancel for a charge of $150. I'll wait until after we play Week 1 of the Finals to decide. I don't want to fly out if we're going to get smashed in the PF(if we even make it). Of course, if we lose to Essendon next week by a lot, I won't be coming. Two weeks ago I was looking forward to seeing my first Finals for 11 years. Now, well...

I'm not sure how my comment could be considered as anything other than calm. It was just a question about how form can rise and fall so quickly.

I know mate it's just I feel that Im the only one thats trying to be positive and my voice doesnt carry much weight.

I'm still positive because I do believe that as quick as we have fallen, and we have, we can regain it with one good outing.

Yep your right and we play the Bombers. Do you think the Saints can beat the Cats without Pods and Hawkins just travelling?

Like the little girl with the curl we can be frustratingly mecurial. We could lose the first final by ten goals or we could win it by ten goals. Neither result would suprise me.

We're like a European sports car. Bloody temperamental and hard to tune, but when it clicks....

Unfortunately, our engine only runs against dud teams.

But, we came up against a true contender last week & failed. Isn't that a true indicator of where we are at?

We haven't beaten anyone of significance this year, not in terms of teams who are truly pushing for a premiership.

Another piss poor performance.

Our field kicking was terrible.

Thank Christ I am heading off for a holiday tomorrow otherwise I might do my head in...

We have been able to rebound on the eve of finals before following a late season slump, however Essendon in recent times really seem to have the wood over us.

Their run and gun style really seems to work against those teams that don't have great leg speed, and we don't exactly have a bagful of speedy players we can call on.

Being male and younger than Mitch himself makes that proposition difficult. I admit to arguing for Mitch's value far more than most on this site, but that's only because there is such an anti-Hahn mindset and though he isn't a star and might not even be in our best 10-15 players, he doesn't deserve half the criticism he gets, especially on nights like these, when he out performs most of the side.

Didn't say he was worst, just didn't think he impacted things greatly.

Nobody did, so why does he have to be singled out ahead of everyone else?

Come on JH you and I both know we had no chance last week. I think James Cuming said you only beat them once in a year Im hangin on to that. Take it for whats it worth.

Our inability to beat other top four teams over the past few seasons, doesn't worry you at all?

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney

A very dissapointing result tonight - Sydney was always going to be 'up' this game with the Kirk and Roos last game at the SCG theme. I was hoping we moved on from our loss last week but wasn't to be.

I switched off my mobile after the game as I knew I would be receiving heaps of calls/texts from my non bulldog supporting friends/family wanting to have a dig.
