Re: Game Day 2012 - R3 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda
I see the same problem every week, not enough goals for the entries into forward fifty.
Is it the delivery or is it our forwards arent good enough?
Macca has bought contest and hardness into the boys, thats great but our structure into the forward line is atrocious, he needs to address this.

After the Tribunal decision let me know when the show is on and I,ll bring a camera

One thing that might help Lake out is.. the player he hit didnt really flinch, his head didnt go back, all he did was put his hand on his jaw as if to say umpire did you see that, then he carried on like nothing happened, the tribunal does take into account the damage recieved to the player in this case it was none.
Intent maybe all they have to go on, it was definitely low impact.

He may have only got a week if they used the 2011 guidelines
Striking and Behind Play Incidents 2012
- Change to Tribunal guidelines around impact to ensure that any reckless or intentional strikes which are inherently dangerous and / or have the potential to cause serious injury will not be classified as ‘low’ impact and will be given a higher impact rating than other offences;
- Change to Tribunal guidelines around intent to ensure that any striking action with a raised forearm or elbow will be classified as intentional, unless there is clear evidence the strike was not intentional;
- Changes to Tribunal guidelines around intent to ensure that any striking action that occurs behind play, off the ball or during a break in play will be classified as intentional, unless there is clear evidence the strike was not intentional.

:Clay Smith; It is his 3rd day at work, that’s right 3rd day and some of you are all over him like ants on dropped paddle pop. Enough of that nonsense. The kid has more guts and intestinal fortitude than the majority of our players, being so young I have some faith that he can be taught to address the deficiencies in his game, his kicking may not be perfect but let’s get stuck into him after his 75th game. To those that said “I told you so we shouldn’t have selected him” – Great feel better? Want a noddy badge?, you sound like a Richmond supporter. The kid is an extraction machine, i could not ask for more of a first year player than what he has done already.

Well, if you only consider game day his "work". Reality is he's there every day. FWIW, I agree that he shouldn't be the target of scorn.

It's simply an opinion., that's what a forum is for.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R3 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda
Reading some of this I had to check and make sure I wasn't on big footy.
Lots of I told you so and our club is doomed bullshit.
All I really felt about last night was a group of individuals not yet adapted to a different game style and getting caught second guessing themselves. The team work was non existent.
Long road in front of us but if You did not already know that then you were delusional.
No doubt it will be painful at times but the sun will keep coming up. Enjoy the journey.
Re: Game Day 2012 - R3 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda
We all knew we were in for some short term pain for long term gain, we just need to sit tight for a while. There is going to be a lot of venting on this forum which is totally understandable. It's a good thing it's only the TV that hears me at the game.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...
Re: Game Day 2012 - R3 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda
The question is: WTF happened?
Did players not follow instructions? If so, they should be made accountable.
Did we get out coached? If so, that's a shame given the bloke in the other box is also in his 3rd game in the top job.
Are the blokes on the ground just not capable? If so, drop them.
Found it interesting that Macca said "going bananas" at young kids and dropping them won't help. Wallis seemed to only get one crack at it before getting the ass.
Why is Jones being triple teamed? Bad coaching? Players not following instructions?
