Really mystified as to why Murphy is on Betts. Murphy has had a very ordinary couple of months.

11 of the last 15 goals to the Cheats. Once Carlton were able to adjust their gameplan in response to ours we've had no sustained answer.

A very poor response by our players and by the look of it, our coaching team. We just don't seem to have made any adjustments tactically in response to Carlton.
Minson's advantage has been nullified by the fact our midfielders have not been able to win enough of the contests. With the dominance we've had at the ruck contests, I can't believe we haven't been able to power ahead

Ridiculous tactics. Kick long to a contest, no one on the ground, give back the ball on the wing.

Only GWS and maybe Gold Coast would have lost this tonight.

I can't believe how often our guys will go to Dahlhaus in a one on one marking contest. Unless he is being marked by Tattoo from Fantasy Island he is no chance over head.

Last five minutes Dogs have gone down the line.
Only way to win was to take the game on and go down the guts.

Lost by three and we should have smashed them.
What exactly is our game plan ???

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

No Judd, No rucks, no Robinson, No Walker, 3 debutants and we still couldn't win.
How woeful are we at the moment?

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

We're starting to drop off.

Carlton are clearing from defence way too easily. No structure.

One would think that one of our coaches would have thought to put a tag on Garlett coming off half back

Shades of Peter Rhodes.....I'm over these hack coaches...Smorgan sack him and get us a real coach...let's see Malthouse anyone.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

Horrible second half.

No response from the box. I've given up on expecting any moves this year in lieu of education, but I'd like to see some evidence that next year we'll see the coaching staff taking an active position when the game starts to turn against us.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

Apart from Dahl, we have ZERO pace.

That was unquestionably one of the worst games of football I've ever seen, both teams are amazingly lame, at least Carlton have an excuse, they were fielding their reserves.

We had plenty of opportunities and we blew them all.

I know our results of 1996 were just as poor in terms of win/loss but there was a great bunch of kids that you could tell that it was going to happen. This lot look like traffic cones thrown in the yarra.

Why is our forward line so totally inept? they are the worst in the AFL by a long way.

Not Happy Jan.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

Nothing short of and absolute disgrace. We are nearly at full strength and got beaten by a Carlton 3rd side. McCartney, you my frien are a dud!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spot on I can't believe that we didn't man up the extra they had in the backline. Coming off the HBF they are so dangerous, we off the half our HBF just turned it over and over.

Really starting to get concerned about the coaching team as they look way out of their league in the AFL.

Good result in the Port v Melbourne game.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R17 Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

We are lame, lethargic, error ridden. All year I have heard from Messrs Grant, Harley and the media that McCartney is the man..............forget Melbourne, we are the joke of the comp
