Jones currently have a kick on the ground in pregame gear. Likely late change I'd suggest.

Cordy out for Jones

I wonder if that was always the case

Bugger, let's hope he's rusty first up.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R9 Western Bulldogs vs Geelong

I had to do a double take when I saw Jones in instead of Cordy , I was happy to give him a rest if his back was still giving him problems , must have passed a late fitness test , Skinner as the Sub I though he would start but obviously they want some late impact , Sherman most likely now will drop back so Cross can play higher up on the defensive side of the square , I,m expecting early physical pressure on Libba he's our workhorse in the engine room the quicker he is to the ball and the more times he gets the ball the more likely we are to clear

Geelong are going to be very focused on the first 15 minutes of the game and the last 15 minutes , if they can hit the scoreboard hard in both periods they believe they can build momentum and finish us off

For me its the last 15 minutes before HT and the first 15 minutes after , a strong 30 min period where we dominate the contested ball and clearances should give us the momentum to push hard till the end

Go Dogs !

Re: Game Day 2012 - R9 Western Bulldogs vs Geelong

Already our poor use of the ball going forward is killing us. 21 to 1. As soon as we lose control of the ball in our forward line Geelong has been able to run and spread, and score easily.

Finally some reward for effort. Nice snap from Higgins.
6 inside 50's for us so far for 1 goal, compared to 9 inside 50's for Geelong for 3 goals.

Veszpremi has got to get better at disposing of the ball smarter when he's being pressured. His first reaction when tackled is to just handpass it blindly a foot in front of him, and invariably turns it over.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R9 Western Bulldogs vs Geelong

We just look hopeless going forward... We're still bombing it in long, only difference is we're now doing it to guys like Dahlhaus.
Like the way Dicko is cracking in though.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R9 Western Bulldogs vs Geelong

Murph's disposal has been horrible, 3 deadset clangers.
We're lucky to only be 16 points adrift. Geelong aren't playing exceptional footy either.
Once again can't fault our endeavour at the contest, but poor choices going forward, and some key turnover's have meant Geelong have been able to get out to a lead.
Really need to find some consistent avenues to goal, or I get the feeling the Cats will incrementally keep building on their lead throughout the game.

And when we're not bombing it long, we're kicking to 4 on one (Jones to Dahlhaus) or missing the leading target (Picken to Gia), or not taking the shot when required (Cross)
