Re: Pack your bags McCartney...
He has rolled the dice a little to focus on attack more at the expense of numbers at the ball. Better to watch.Comment

If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

He did role the dice to a degree - but it helps when you have the right balance, which we did. Hopefully injuries allow us to continue to have the balance.
It will be interesting to see when and if Cross and Wallis comeback into the team.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: Pack your bags McCartney...
I think it is unedifying for some posters (moderators no less) to gloat and criticise those asking pertinent questions following a run of 18 losses in 19 matches. The title of this thread is poor but as BMac himself noted yesterday, asking questions following such a barren run is actually a healthy thing for our club.
Over the past 12 months, I've been wanting to see BMac influence proceedings from the box during game day and have been disappointed in this aspect of BMac's tenure thus far. But to his eternal credit, BMac genuinely impacted the flow of the contest from the coaches box yesterday and was a big factor in stemming the St Kilda momentum on a couple of occasions with a number of key positional changes. He also got the players to run and carry far more, with yesterday's run and dare a welcome contrast to our static and predictable ball movement for most of the last 12 months.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way we played and the way we were coached yesterday, and I sure as hell enjoyed the end result against those filthy maggots - that was a long time coming."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: Pack your bags McCartney...
Hmm, we definitely struggled in that area when we played the Saints.
Little separates these teams in raw ball-winning stats. In total disposals, the Western Bulldogs rank second and the Saints fourth; in contested ball the Bulldogs rank third and the Saints rank fourth, and in kicking efficiency they are ranked first and second respectively. But for form against each other you have to look deeper. As the Collingwood coach said last week: "We did not get our hands on the ball." That has been the case both times these teams have played this year, a difference of 82 and 73 possessions St Kilda's way, with the Saints easily winning the contested ball. Quite simply, the Saints have denied the Bulldogs time in possession, and have not got involved in an up-tempo style of gameIf you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
