Re: Round 6 Footscray Bulldogs v Port Melbourne

I see us improving each week especially as our seniors start to return.
Haven't got any stats yet.

Re: Round 6 Footscray Bulldogs v Port Melbourne

Went down and had a look .
Very difficult conditions north easterly making the Williamstown end the scoring end .
Second term into the breeze won it, with our link up and precise kicking a highlight .
A lot of dropped marks for both sides.
Standouts were the usual listed suspects, Dunkley excellent and Honeychurch, Jong very prominent .
Backline stood up well , thought Dad and Hamling had good Games. Collins isn't panther like when the ball hits the deck, but his second and third efforts are excellent .He's a good distributor as well .Thought Webb was quiet on previous weeks, and Hamilton is very silky, and Lynch looks a likely young type, although needs a few summers in the gym .Thought Minson was the dominant big man on the ground . Went into the 3/4 time huddle and noticed young Goetz had a mini moon boot on . Overall noticeable Dogs run and gun compared to Ports lack of run .
Sidenote- Dimmy's are still magnificent at the famous old ground .Great turnout as well

With so many VFL listed players, it was a quality win. Easily the better team throughout.

Thought Jong was outstanding, HC was great in tight. Webb was quieter but still influential.

Also thought Hamling was better today. Flew for his marks and clunked a couple. Dad is a gun stopper but his kicking cost us a few times, more so his decision making.

Is Hamling close to a call up?

‘Scray hold off Borough

Footscray are back in the top eight on the VFL ladder after getting over Port Melbourne in a hard-fought contest at North Port Oval on Saturday.

Lin Jong collected 27 touches, laid eight tackles and kicked two goals in a best on ground performance, and was ably supported by Lauchie Dalgleish (22 touches), Josh Dunkley (21 touches, 2 goals) and Mitch Honeychurch (25 and eight tackles).

The Dogs controlled the contest for most of the game, taking a 39-point lead into the final change before Port Melbourne kicked the first four of the final term to get within 13 points with 12 minutes remaining.

Nick Jamieson then ran into an open goal, his third for the day, giving the Bulldogs some breathing space, the 19 point buffer also the final margin.

The Borough pressed hard in the final minutes but the Footscray defence stood strong under enormous pressure, led by Joel Hamling and Kieran Collins.

Coach Ashley Hansen said he was pleased with the way the inexperienced Dogs held their ground in a frantic final term.

“I thought our back six, especially for the last 10 minutes really stood up, he said.

“The amount of smothers and pressure acts we put them under really showed the guys were playing for one another and really valuing the contest in the last quarter, which is what it’s all about.

“I was happy with the way we dealt with their onslaught from a pretty mature side.”

Hansen said having taken in such an inexperienced side, the players that needed to play well, did.

“The responsibility that Lin Jong, Lauchie Dalgleish, Mitch Honeychurch, Josh Dunkley and Russ (Jordan Russell) took in the game was quite heavy, [and] I thought Declan Hamilton also had a really important game for us playing some critical roles.

“But across the board I thought we had some solid contributions in some pivotal moments.”

“They’ re stating to get rewards for little acts within games and playing for one another is crucial for this group to go forward.

Footscray travel to Windy Hill next Sunday to face the Essendon.

Winning hit outs has never been a problem for Will.. The fact he only took 2 marks is.
