Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
How are we going to do any damage in September? We haven't beaten any of the top teams and our form is far too inconsistent. We now have a number of players under injury clouds or out of form which are not ominous signs in the lead up to another finals series.
I can't see us beating Collingwood in the qualifying final. We will probably win the semi-final then once again fall short yet another prelim. What are we missing to compete with the top teams in the competition?Comment

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Leaders.
There are none.
When Sydney pounded us in the second quarter, where was Boyd, Cross, Johnson, Gia, Murphy, Lake and Eagleton? Nowhere. They were collectively dreadful.
Same old story - but the MC has to take part blame. Why would you play Eagleton and Hahn - we all know they are finished. They offer nothing.
Not sure who I'm more disappointed with. Both staff/players are failing miserably.W00F!Comment

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
I'm not so sure it's anti Hahn per se. It's more about what playing him signifies.
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.
For mine, I think Mitch has been a terrific servant for our club, and I will never fault his integrity as a player. He's overcome natural talent (or lack thereof) with desire and ferocity.
But I do believe his days at the top level are done, and for us to play him is a regressive step. Time gets called for everyone in the end, and I think it's time for Mitch."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Yeah fair cop mate, I don't like it much either, just didn't have the stats handy - a bit lazy I suppose. What I was getting at was that Murphy, Gia and Johnno didn't appear to get much of the pill or tackle. Gia (8 Disposals) and Johnno (6 disposals) still in the bottom four. Murphy (11 disposals). Not good enough would suggest creative players like these who we rely on to get and use the ball well (lets face it Johnno ain't known as defensive player), need to do a lot more.
Eade would appear to agree:

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Sorry I probably came off a bit snappy, I've just had a bit of a personal Supercoach / DT backlash this year. I'm over it.
Agree with your point about our experienced players. We've too many one way players who aren't doing much that way either
Both. There's certainly a midfield dearth atm. Particularly with guys like Higgins and Ward not being fit all year.
But there's clearly too much faith being placed in guys who've constantly disappeared in big games.Park that car

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Cloud- we are playing terrible, many injured players and finals only two weeks away.
Silver lining - we can't lose fourth, home final, players have time to regroup and finals only two weeks away.
Ironically after two loses we are in a better position than when we were winning.It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.Comment

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
We've overrated both areas IMO, and it's now been shown we're a fair way off the mark.
I see similarities with where we were after the WC loss last year. After which we won 3 big games in a row. Hopefully we can win 3 more big games this year. It's all we need...Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Game Day - R21 Western Bulldogs vs Sydney
Amen.Ok all just relax calm down and have a beer or a cuppa. Look back through my posts I did say to prepare ourselves for a loss (Its not over yet). What we are facing is a Sydney team at the SCG playing their Grand Final for two of their favorite sons. Do not underestimate that it is a massive ask after what we went through last week. We have travelled 2 out of 3 plus copped Geelong and a virus in between.
Losing my man Cooney is just a nightmare and we must all pray for no more!
That is the only thing we should do get through with no more.
I know we look like a different team and we are not doing anything what we are known for at the moment but try to look past it. We all know we are a 6 - 7 goal better side than Sydney so relax.
OK so this how we do it....
Pods will get two weeks after last night he has a carry over of 60 points. Their forward line will struggle they cannot Rely on Ablett to kick goals against Stkilda. So they lose the first final.
We cannot beat the pies without Cooney but we get a free life, so we walk away and cop maybe Freo in Melbourne. Then we get our wish and chance. The Saints in a Prelim. Correct me if Im wrong but our best chance for a Grand Final is playing the Saints in a Prelim and we would be back at full strength and I would seriously fancy our chances.
So fellow Woofers Pray for no more and keep a level head. Our time will come!
