Re: Game Day 2011 - R13 Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide

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

I so need to learn short-hand.

Terrific report there WD54

+1.

Was out and and missed the game, but reading that report I felt like I was there.

Great work.

A win is a win, is a win, and I'm more than happy to take it! Great to see the young guys standing up, the "gromit" surfer boy from Ocean Grove is a gem, and I loved watching Schofield doing his stuff with Tippett! Great to see someone with 'tude and a bit of mongrel not afraid to strut his stuff. What a game from Murph and Griff - handy having Gia back there slotting goals too! Two straight wins would be great - now the pressure if off, anything can happen!

Next time I'm in the position to watch a game like that I might do a match log on WOOF, fanfooty.com.au style.

Just some perspective on Liam Jones guys. We need to remember that he is only 20 years of age and due to the fact that Big Baz is not playing is copping the oppositions best defender every week and due to our lack of forward structure gets sucked up the ground far too often. He has the ability to take contested grabs up forward, a commodity we haven't had for while. Yes his kicking is not flash but this bloke is the one we MUST play for the rest of the season regardless of form for he is our future.

I've been really happy with his endeavour, his workrate and his contested marking, but when we're in the position that we're in I'm not sure we can afford a key forward who sprays it as often as he does. He needs to straighten up.

Agree, heaps of talent but just watching him his body language is terrible when lining up, its almost a case of 'where will this one go' rather then having much confidence. Different type to Buddy who even when spraying them around still looks to want to be actually taking the shot.

Totally agree with this Mitcha, I posted pretty much the same thing on another thread. He is young, inexperienced (15 games) and playing a key position. Let's cut him some slack whilst he is developing, and you are right, not having Baz there to take a player or two out of the contest must be putting lots of pressure on his young body.
