Game Day 2012 - R18 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

Re: Game Day 2012 - R18 Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

Absolutely damning stat tweeted by Stevo - we have kicked 18 second half goals in the last 6 matches. GWS, who have been getting smashed on average by 20 goals in that time, have kicked 19. As a collective group, we curl up our toes after half time in the most embarrassingly abysmal way.

I was just reading that as well. It would be really interesting if we had to run up against GC or GWS right now. Would we beat them?

Usually agree with Steveo but one of his tweets said we should go after A. Edwards.

I just don't understand it because at half time we were still relatively close to St Kilda. Our fitness must be really not up to scratch as we do not put in a 4 qtr effort.

At the moment I think 7 or 8 would be at the top end. It just gets too messy to do the 10 you are suggesting.

I would be happy with that, but I wonder if we will be so brave.

Saints smashed us in the 2nd qtr but did not put it on the scoreboard. We were cooked about 5 minutes into the 2nd today.

They also kicked a lot of behinds and they could of beaten by well over 100 if they kicked straight.

Even with our low position and an extra draft pick in the first round to make the last couple of picks count it needs to be a very deep draft and I don't think it's that deep. The rookie upgrades will fill some of the numbers I suspect and thats why I think we are an outside chance to make 8 changes.

We also are very unlikely to trade for any player over the age of 23 so we won't see an some top up players added to the list.

Pearce is a hard one to judge at the moment. He's arguably the most raw player on our list besides Jong, but he does have some solid intensity to his game. We'll know more in years 2 & 3 when he adds size and learns more about the game.

I see a lot of Dylan Addison in Pearce

I reckon Pearce has a better 'frame' to work with and more athletic upside than Addison.

Did you all see the vision of Daniel Cross, crying because he couldn't play? That's how much he cares about our club. God I hate where we are. I bet the players must too.

Funny, and I am no way having a go at Crossy, but years ago when it was Hudgeon and The Diver cried, according to our fans they were just sook's.

Also ( i know we don't see it much at AFL level yet) Pearce is a far more attacking player than Addison.

Perhaps Addison was more this way when he was drafted but over time his role has diminished to just being hard, stopping his man and chipping it sideways.

Actually, despite him being a diver, I have respect for Reiwoldt for what he is able to get out of his body. I could not five .05% of what these blokes are able to do.

I am not a big fan of our new coach at this time but I willing for him to show me why I should believe in him. He is a first year coach and will hopefully learn.

With a young side we needed a Coach who would teach not learn.

And still are. Pansies. No respect for either.
