Couple of late goals...21 to 48.

McLean getting more of the pill.

He's definitely stepped up in the last 5 minutes.

I'd select English for the seniors and play him as a flanker, to do relief ruck for a few minutes. He's a shining light, but can't ruck against monsters. But he can do a hell of a lot of other good things.

Roberts and Collins are like two arctic glaciers.

Whoa.....Tom Campbell takes a big mark. Who knew he was even playing?

Halftime....22 points down.

Great mark Campbell. He's solid at this level.

We have a real issue with not being able to handball forward and carry through a defensive structure. Just getting pushed further back.

Much better the last 5 min , but let off with that horrific Geelong miss .
Ball coming out of our forward half way to easily .
Gee Kieran Collins looks like he's got slower

Re: Round 6 - 2017, Footscray Bulldogs v Geelong

How do you get out scored with a 5 goal breeze going your way ?

Not playing well but not coached well for a 5 goal breeze. Quite a few times we've had no one deep up forward when we've won the ball. Going backwards and sideways just creates problems with a lot of wind. McLean the only spark for us who is on our list.

Re: Round 6 - 2017, Footscray Bulldogs v Geelong

Of the senior blokes playing;
Roughy.....doing well in the ruck but little influence on the game
McLean running hard and started to get more involved late in the quarter.
Biggs....plenty of the ball but running sideways a lot.
Libba....some reasonable inside work but seems to be struggling to keep up with the pace.
Campbell...until that mark, hardly noticed him.
English...some nice touches but little impact.
Honeychurch.....working hard as usual
Collins....late to every contest and poor below his knees
Roberts....steady game. Needs to do more.
Cordy.....okay but not noticeable.

Depressing summary to be honest. At this rate only Roughy will be promoted next week.

Good start...

Roberts and Collins are like two arctic glaciers.

Was interested to see how they would go together. Collins really needs to find a trick.

Libba is a funny one. Very hard working in terms of defensive pressure in close etc but obviously hasn't done the conditioning work which means he can't run enough to get the 'easy' touches.

Re: Round 6 - 2017, Footscray Bulldogs v Geelong

This is a much better quarter. Geelong have been their own worst enemies to an extent.

Honey deserves a chance in my view.

Re: Round 6 - 2017, Footscray Bulldogs v Geelong

Liking Honeychurch. Has an extra trick of being able to have a bit of pressure inside 50. If we give him a game, we know we will get manic pressure.

Honeychurch has copped two big hits.
