Re: Game Day 2011 - R13 Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide

Really enjoyed Schofield taking on Tippet , it was a big call to throw him in to get some game time , rewarded that decision in spades

Dahlhaus the " Gromminator " just great to see him on the ground , 18 disposals in a solid game

The spread of disposals , the chase and pressure , the team work , the aggression was lifted up several notches

Griffen best on ground by a country mile , his best game for long time , by that I mean his leadership and intensity

It was an interesting decision to let Boyd almost take a back seat ( if you want to put it that way ) , it was obvious he was told " Don't worry about trying lift the whole side by leading by example just go out there and enjoy yourself " , happy if he did that every week

I wish young Ward would play like that every week , he was a machine , a machine with big hair

I must admit Barlow surprised me , he was valuable as the athletic tall, his smother and goal was a highlight

Murphy in his 200th , the ultimate Club man

The look on Rocket,s face in a quiet moment after the game , priceless , it was an odd mixture of "Oh thank God " , " Stick that up ya " and " Only 11 to go " , it was like he had eaten 12 weetbix and washed it down with prune juice and a good dose of Senokot

Murphy showed his pure class tonight. If he can stay fit he'll play for a number of years and be untouchable.

I thought Barlow was exceptional for his second game at the club. He needs to clean a few decision making points of his game up (which will lead to better disposal and efficiency) as well as his defensive side, but he competes and is clearly fit. If he improves on this week like he did last week then we'd have to be happy with his progress to this point.

Higgins will take a lot out of tonight, and with some confidence in his body he should be able to translate that in to some solid midfield performances.

Giansiracusa is the form HFF/FP of the league right now. Aker should be eating his words, hard. His role is the hardest to play IMO, not a marking target, not a crumber, but a space creator and a secondary target. He's a true professional, and a hard worker that is converting limited opportunites.

DJ needs to get his head right. He seems to cook his brain when in a position to impact the game. He's clearly too good for VFL, and has the physical attributes to play in the senior team. Clearly lacking the level of concentration to perform in the top league now, and needs to mature quickly.

Dahlhaus was good. His pace and attack on the ball will hold him in good stead for when he learns to read the play a little better and has some confidence in his ability. Definitely the type of player we need.

Overall, Adelaide didn't create a lot of opportunities for themselves, and scored a lot on the break when we made a mess of things.. They were pretty poor. However, with a drastically different and innexperienced side we still managed to run all over them. We need to tighten up our skills and decision making considerably, and convert opportunities.

These are the notes I was taking. Typing furiously all night.

I so need to learn short-hand.

Awesome summary. I expect one next game :P

Being able to see this guy play in person makes me wanna jump on a plane and head to the Gold Coast next week:



Our proud future!

Re: Game Day 2011 - R13 Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide

Well I am really impressed with Dalhaus and Schofield, for those who said Barlow(cheesy) wasnt any good I suggest you have a look at tonights game, improving each game.
Missed Lake and Hall, coyuld have been a massive blow out.
Good signs tonight the players dont have an issie with Eade, I can see we are building something again.
Little thing to take note of, Dalhaus was still going strong in the last, he must have a great tank.
I thought Cooney did well after 4 weeks of no footy, better for the run and a good sub idea.

Didn't think he was that bad last week, but the Big Cheese was great last night, looked dangerous, flew for and took a few marks and generally was just an option/contributor. Hopefully he can continue on, he has some good tools.

Don't get your hopes up. That was only the second time I'd been able to watch a game from start to finish all year. Decided I'd make the most of it. I'm on nightshift next week so will probably miss that game as well. Oh, Well.

That gave me my second biggest laugh all year.

Complete with commostrophe,s as well.

You're really taking your little innovation seriously aren't you?

Re: Game Day 2011 - R13 Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide

I keep hearing from a lot of commentators what a great pair of hands Liam Jones has.
Last night I don't believe he held onto 1 over head mark.
Hopefully he can get a few to stick as his confidence grows.
