Re: Game Day 2012 - R6 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Yes , it is possible to criticise a supposed lack of a forward line , just remember under Macca we only have two forwards , anyone else is rotated through the midfield , its made it hard for Jones some of those kicks to him have been horrible , if its down at his feet he can,t mark it on his chest , a few times the guys have kicked to him when he wan,nt in the right position , Jones is only 20 and still learning and there is a terrible amount of pressure on him

That contest that Dawes just won, soft, soft play by all those Dogs players around him.
Thank goodness O'Brien blew the ensuing shot on goal.
But that's a danger sign, we need everyone switched on.

Thats right West-Dog about Jones.We tend to forget that Jones is only 20.

I wish Sherman was greedier. Tried to do the team thing.

Stupid thing.
The player he past off to was in a worse position than him.
One of the problems with our game.
Why wouldn't you want to go back and kick the tgoal and be a match winner ?

Re: Game Day 2012 - R6 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Maybe the coach wants him to be more team orientated so he tried to do the team thing.

Fair effort. Shame Sherm didn't take that shot - things may have been different.

I fully expected us to get a 50 point pasting. I'm glad we did not get blown away, and tried very hard for the whole game.
We just do not have enough quality cattle to last a game.
We basically have a lot of low skilled triers, and only a few high skilled players.
Over a 4 quarter journey the low skills will cost you enough to make it very hard for you to consistently win games against good opponents.
We are going to see alot of these types of frustrating performances over the next couple of years I think, until we are able to turnover the list and inject enough quality across the lines.

Lacked polish. Too many turnovers. Good effort lads

Re: Game Day 2012 - R6 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Fairly simple in the end , Wood off with a hamstring injury and we lose some rebound , two Murphy mistakes , two Sherman mistakes , we drop our intensity a bit and they sneak away , its like being groped by a poltergeist you know what happened but you can't blame anyone

Come off it. They came off a nine day break and have some superstars in their team.
We played really well and turned up. A missed early shot from Picken and and two or three turnovers and we may have one that.
And besides, we are not cattle, we are DOGS. ^_^

enjoyed watching us play. Some great effort from the lads. Moving in the right direction for sure.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R6 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Have to say it - we missed Easton Woods run when he went off!
Played well!
Great effort Bulldogs
Maybe Collingwoods longer paid off in the end?
Their key players stepped up in the end Pendlebury etc
Boyd, Griff, Dahl couldnt get us there in the last....
Encouraging but need to win em!

Re: Game Day 2012 - R6 Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood

Despite the loss tonight I can't fault the effort from our guys. We stuck with them right to the end until they kicked away a bit. There were a lot of positives tonight. Collingwood I reckon are coming down and are not as strong as they were before.
