This is a nice summary of how our midfield has fallen apart recently, from a North supporters blog (The Shinboner) link (https://theshinboner.com/2021/08/16/from-the-notebook-a-worrying-western-bulldogs-slump-midfield-analysis-afl-shinboner/amp/?__twitter_impression=true)

If we can even up/get on top of centre clearances, we're a chance. We've still won plenty of games with just Tim rucking, there's no excuses.

I need this Dogs.

Nice analysis. A lot if this has been brought up here, but this analysis goes into some great specifics.

Also shows that it’s between the ears. If our mids can’t figure it out, it’s time to change personnel a little.

Interesting to read that we base our game on winning the ball due to our talent. Is this actually undoing us by creating a bit of laziness?

Bazlenka is the main culprit in those clips, some atrocious attention to detail there. Macrae isn't much better unfortunately.

No surprises to see the opposition ruckman doing what he pleases in the clips, too.

That's some really great analysis... based on that and the real glaringly obvious lapses, I'm hoping we see a better performance in positioning from especially Bailey, but also Macrae.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

The vision is quite damning isn’t it? Baz and Macrae in particular. Poor Dunks having to defend the entire opposition midfield. Is this part of his frustrations? I’d be pretty damned pissed if this happened repeatedly.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

That's some really great analysis... based on that and the real glaringly obvious lapses, I'm hoping we see a better performance in positioning from especially Bailey, but also Macrae.

I mean, this stuff they’re doing is fundamental right? To do it 2 weeks in a row is very disappointing to say the least, especially from an experienced guy like Jack. How many chances do you give them before you say you need a spell?

[Axe Man]

That's some really great analysis... based on that and the real glaringly obvious lapses, I'm hoping we see a better performance in positioning from especially Bailey, but also Macrae.

Based on those clips I hope we don't see Smith in the centre much, if at all. Macrae we know can be and must be better.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

And of course, the ruck is a HUGE source of all these issues. Not knowing how effective Tim will be at simply halving the contest would hurt. But then in some ways our guys should be prepared knowing 99% of the time they’re going to have to defend.

[Grantysghost]

That is very good we need more of this in AFL (there are many people who do this in the world game).

This video showing Stringer exiting the stoppages as Treloar and Smith are bystanders is pretty indicative of what I've seen a fair bit. No wonder 2MP kicked 7. Macrae really didn't position himself well defensively either but I get they setup sometimes to be attacking. It's a fine line.

https://gfycat.com/tandeficientbetafish

Both times Tim was comprehensively beaten by Draper too. We need him to at least half these. It's never going to go all your way of course but we need to get close to even.

[Grantysghost]

That's some really great analysis... based on that and the real glaringly obvious lapses, I'm hoping we see a better performance in positioning from especially Bailey, but also Macrae.

I've said it a heap before but I really don't see any game sense from our guys, no tempo play or ability to understand the opposition maybe having a period of dominance, so let's blunt that the best we can.

We seem to go hard, one way, all the time.

It's not just winning the ball; teams are basically playing keepings off from us to great effect. We are struggling to get it back.

We need to adjust to this, maybe check the opponent a big closer, sit the zone deeper drop an extra behind the ball.

I don't see much of this at all (West Coast and Carlton games first time around maybe). I'm not sure if its an inability to sense the moment in a game from the leaders or the cupboards bare for ideas but this is not something I've just seen of late.

Maybe Bevo should just send that link to the team as a review :)

Is this a lack of leadership? Who’s out there to 1. Recognise the situation 2. Know what to do about it but 3. Tell everyone else what’s going on and what they need to do.

I have no idea. I don't know if we overly relied on the runner it seems unlikely.

i'll think we'll know in the first 2 minutes if we are switched on and the pressure is up. No excuses for backing off in case they miss playing finales by getting injured, it's all or nothing really if we blow this one.

[SonofScray]

On recent form, we are cooked.

On ability and season form we should win and get going again.

This is going to be tough to enjoy.

I think you can often tell when we are off early but sometimes we can look good in the first quarter and fade. We were all over Essendon early and should have been 5 goals up at quarter time.

Not defending Tim’s ruck work, but surely if you know that he’s unlikely to have an effect on the ruck contest, you anticipate that. This footage is a huge indictment on Baz. His movement after the ball is bounced is a massive nothing burger. I wouldn’t let him near a centre bounce after watching this.

[Jeanette54]

After two poor results over the last two games, I have decided to abandon the occult as a means of match prediction. Tonight we go with the good old fashioned coin toss, "tails on the floor"", its the 'doggies.

Agree DG. Our team managed to kick 5 goals and half of those were scored of Hawthorn's unforced errors. This was against a side near the bottom of the ladder ravaged by injuries. I just can't see a virtually unchanged line-up from that piss weak performance flick the switch and come out snarling.

I do hope I'm wrong on all fronts with team selections and predictions.

Has anyone said that Schache is the sub yet?

I don't mind it. Good coverage if one of the talls goes down, and we have enough smalls to cover an injury and play tall in the forward line.

Good intent at that bounce.

[Grantysghost]

Bont!

[Eastdog]

The Bont Yes!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Bont my master!

[bulldogtragic]

Roarke end to end.

[jeemak]

Good start.

Need Lewi to tone down how far he's hitting the ball in the ruck.

[hujsh]

Are we on?!

[Grantysghost]

Treloar in the guts theyve read woof.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

VDM with a fist pump.

[jeemak]

Eat a dick Brian Taylor.

Come on lads. Let's get some more!

[Eastdog]

Great start. Naughton strikes. Great set shot.

[bulldogtragic]

Pile it on.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Much better intent.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Young has been good. Great start

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Soft Wood

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha they miss.

[jeemak]

Come on lads!!!!

[Eastdog]

Timmy!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha Anglo waltzes in.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Don’t relent!

[hujsh]

Pressure!!!!

[jeemak]

Soft Wood

The guy's got twelve cms on him. Once under the ball he was screwed.

[bulldogtragic]

Stuff the goal, how was that not HTB?

[Eastdog]

Naughton and Bont have started well.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Baz attends a bounce and his man gets the clearance.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha Boak stuffs it!

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Woods done.

[jeemak]

*!*!*!*! Easton it makes it hard to defend you when you pull that sort of shit.

[hujsh]

Lycett still clearly dominant in the ruck. Mids must be switched on

[jeemak]

Good start. Very good start.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Dunks!

[Grantysghost]

Dunks!

[bulldogtragic]

Wood can do some dumb shit. Hold for 20 seconds and try to kick into his face.

[hujsh]

Can't believe we're kicking straight

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Dunk swhishes it!

[DOG GOD]

Intent is certainly there. Cmon

[bulldogtragic]

Need to keep cashing in while the going is good.

This is how the last game started, and they came hard in the second quarter.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Missed some obvious frees for us.

[EasternWest]

Pressure is right up. Boys are definitely on. Keep going.

[jeemak]

How's that not a free to Timmy?

[Grantysghost]

How is that not a free to Tim?

[bulldogtragic]

No free to Tim. FFS.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Is Roarke, is good.

[GVGjr]

We are moving the ball with intent and purpose and being very direct.
Bont has been terrific

[bulldogsthru&thru]

F*ck Easton!!!!!

[bulldogtragic]

I’m liking Roarke. He’s on so far.

Wood, not so.

[Eastdog]

English doing good.

[EasternWest]

All these shocking mullets in the game these days and they're STILL not as bad as the Tom "Mum cut my hair for school photos" Jonas do.

[Mantis]

Just kick it quickly and long man!

[comrade]

Easton has been putrid.

Everything else has been excellent.

[bulldogtragic]

Easton has been putrid.

Everything else has been excellent.

I’d sub him. He’s been horrid.

English, just be tougher. Please.

Naughton is getting blocked every contest.

[comrade]

*!*!*!*! sake Timmy, take the mark.

[bulldogtragic]

No arm chop on Tim. Stop cheating.

[jeemak]

Williams needs to lift a little. That wasn't good enough.

[bulldogtragic]

Soft one.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Geez English needs to be better

[EasternWest]

Caleb Daniel Kick on Twitter will have a field day tonight.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Was a push.

[comrade]

Really bad defending through the corridor, letting Drew take space. Macrae, that’s on you.

[hujsh]

Disappointed they got a goal. Do not want to see this lead slip. Confidence in the team is a bit low right now

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Men of Mayhem back.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Hmmmm. Great intent. But I’m concerned we’ll run out of puff.

[comrade]

First 10 minutes very good.

[hujsh]

Here we go night for the believers let's go lads

[angelopetraglia]

Intent was good in that first quarter. The intensity needs to stay at that level.

[DOG GOD]

Vandermeer needs to be quicker with his disposal. Used a lot of petrol tickets that quarter.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Pressure and effort is great but we look like a team out of form with lots of almost moments.

Just need to keep at it but also know when to slow it down a little.

[whythelongface]

Good first qtr. we are on. Disappointing that we didn’t take advantage of a couple more chances.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

That is exactly the response we needed to see, immediately from the outset of the game.
Well done lads, keep it up.
No doubt Port are going to work hard back into this, but they now know that we're not the same proposition as the last couple of weeks.

[Eastdog]

Good opening term. Great pressure and really taking the game on which is what we have to do. Need to maintain this. Get a good start again in the 2nd term.

[whythelongface]

Port are slow but will build into this game and may run over us. Say to myself stop being so negative

[Grantysghost]

Centre clearance 1-3 down
Stoppage 6-4 up
Contest poss 35-39

Good start felt Port got the better of us last 10, stopped the run with pressure and structure.

Need to get some smalls at Tim's feet.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Geez English needs to be better

Disagree. He is what he is and tries well.

[DOG GOD]

I hate when wood and Cordy get the ball but Daniel is giving me stroke symptoms with his turn around in circles moments.

[dog town]

Getting hands on it around clearance and fumbling a lot.

Also think we have over used it and let them in as a result. Clearly trying to avoid intercept marks but sometimes you just need to back yourself in.

English needs to be so much stronger in the air. Should have 3 goals.

[jeemak]

Good first qtr. we are on. Disappointing that we didn’t take advantage of a couple more chances.

Yeah, but on the flipside we took some important ones that we've butchered in recent weeks.

Just need to make sure we keep pushing.

[hujsh]

Disappointed that I'm going to have to catch up on the match later. Was enjoying it for the first time in a while

[Grantysghost]

I hate when wood and Cordy get the ball but Daniel is giving me stroke symptoms with his turn around in circles moments.

Haha. He nails 95 percent of his kicks I breathe easy.

[comrade]

Treloar needs to be better in that last contest. Completely panicked under perceived pressure. Still looks well short of a gallop.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Men of Mayhem back.

Yes are are a fair better side when we have handball reviewed after a mark. Interesting that English just don’t look any good tonight. I could assume that maybe he isn’t right at the moment

I like Young in the ruck. It allows English Naughton. Forward. We look dangerous again.

[G-Mo77]

Dropped off a bit late but not a surprise there as we came out guns blazing. Need to keep this tempo going though and not give them a sniff.

[bulldogtragic]

I hate when wood and Cordy get the ball but Daniel is giving me stroke symptoms with his turn around in circles moments.

Cordy hasn’t been near it too much. But Wood needs to get his shit together.

I though Roarke was really good. I hope he can keep covering those big distances.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Good quarters from our prime movers, Bont, Macrae, Treloar, Daniel and Bailey Smith.
Some good moments from Roarke Smith too.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Port are slow but will build into this game and may run over us. Say to myself stop being so negative
Yeah my oldest friend, Anxiety.
It is keen and sharp but flawed being a projection so not so in touch with reality. Flipside of depression.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Oedipus is alive.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Lol Cordy losing a 1-v-1 for something different

[comrade]

Cordy did as well as I would have in that contest.

[Mantis]

Good things are never going to happen when Cordy is one out against any competent opponent.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

So we just let Wines run off

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha.

[comrade]

Baz butchering it, Wood muffing everything and Cordy losing contests. Who would have thought?

[jeemak]

Why is that play on?

[jeemak]

Time for Lachie Hunter bingo!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We're doign some good work so far on Allir.
Poor finish from Hunter

[Eastdog]

Bad miss Hunter.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Hunter was always going to miss.
Why?
I have little faith because he does!!!
Like Macrae for ffs.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Wood has been *!*!*!*!ing horrendous

[bulldogtragic]

It’s as if he refuses to kick easy goals.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Why is that play on?

that was a fruity call..he was just walking back to take his kick.

[angelopetraglia]

Lachie. It just kills you. How can you miss that!!!!

[Mantis]

We aren’t going to win missing those ones… never expected him to kick it though.

[Grantysghost]

We need to keep the scoreboard ticking.

[comrade]

Easton going to get chopped up in a final.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Huston we have a problem.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Fu*k off Chamberlain!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha Dixon misses everything.

[Grantysghost]

Port have really started to control the game. Keeping possession well.

Need a goal.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Well defended Dogs.

[jeemak]

We are getting *!*!*!*!ing murdered by these arsehole umpires tonight.

[comrade]

Getting crucified by the umpires.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha our backs stop a goal.

[bulldogtragic]

8-3 Frees. Garbage.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Oh no Derriere reaching for his groin!

Umps absolutely torching us

[bulldogtragic]

8-3 Frees. Garbage.

9-3.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

[comrade]

Young has been good with his follow up.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Wood is really struggling.

[Eastdog]

Good stuff Keathy!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Amos classy poster. Haha.

[bulldogtragic]

Wood is line for demotion.

[Grantysghost]

Commentators are painful.

[comrade]

Wood again with turnover disposal. WOG by far.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Young has been good with his follow up.

Yep he's acquitted himself well so far.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Smith is rubbish right now

[ratsmac]

Port have done really well to take the speed out of this

[Mantis]

Anytime Bailey Smith would like to learn to handball would be ok with me.

[Grantysghost]

Now I'm getting worried.

[comrade]

Another simple handball turnover from Baz. Love to see it.

[DOG GOD]

Port getting on top now

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Cordy the surgeon claiming touch.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

We’ve dropped off. Port got the upper hand now. Oh well.

[jeemak]

That's touched.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Anytime Bailey Smith would like to learn to handball would be ok with me.

I'm almost ready to trade him, his decision making and handballing is atrocious

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Haha.

[DOG GOD]

Arm around Cordy’s throat is not a free ?

[jeemak]

How can you miss that when there's no crowd. Pathetic.

[bulldogtragic]

Good boy Cordy.

[jazzadogs]

It's not 'benefit of the doubt' Brayshaw you moron - it HIT HIS HAND

[comrade]

I'm almost ready to trade him, his decision making and handballing is atrocious

Welcome to the dark side.

[DOG GOD]

These handballs are killing us.

[Mantis]

Just do your hamstring and get off Easton.

[jeemak]

Naughton molested again.

[comrade]

Wood is so cooked.

[bulldogtragic]

Wood needs to do a hammy. For real or not. He’s the 19th player for them.

[Stefcep]

is it within the rules to have your forearm around Cordy's neck just because its on the goal line?

[bulldogtragic]

Wood is so cooked.


Good thing he has another year...

[jeemak]

Just do your hamstring and get off Easton.

It's gotten into his head, hard to see how he comes back from this.

[EasternWest]

Where is Bont?

[jeemak]

Ray, you are a *!*!*!*!ing wanker.

Pay a free kick when it's there instead of cheating and you won't get abused you *!*!*!*!.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

So you can get a free kick for abuse now?

[DOG GOD]

Ray hates us

[The Bulldogs Bite]

We're getting monstered.

[jeemak]

So you can get a free kick for abuse now?

Always could.

[comrade]

Baz torched again at that stoppage.

We’d be better off with him and Wood out of the side. Absolute momentum killers.

[bulldogtragic]

We won’t win with this umpiring.

[Grantysghost]

Libba copping a tag I think.

[bulldogtragic]

Baz torched again at that stoppage.

We’d be better off with him and Wood out of the side. Absolute momentum killers.

He won’t man up. Why?

[jazzadogs]

Yes jj

[EasternWest]

Wow JJ that was brilliant.

[Eastdog]

JJ gets a great one! Against the flow!

[jeemak]

Good on you JJ. Ripping goal, took it on and took the hit.

Great stuff.

[angelopetraglia]

That’s why he is in the team. No one else could do that. Well done JJ.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Nice JJ
That's a reverse Bulldog's...right there.
Normally we're the one's kicking a flurry of points only to give up a goal.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Massive moment JJ.

Against the momentum

[BornInDroopSt'54]

JjJ fires up in finals.

[bulldogtragic]

Nice to see you JJ. Nice goal.

[Grantysghost]

Now that's fkn courage!

Can the wanker commentators be any more flat fmd that was unbelievable.

JJ!!!!!! And has a bounce

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Always could.

Never seen it before. Of course Ray gave it.

[G-Mo77]

Bloody needed that one. Nice finish JJ

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Better than WWC wrestling off the padding.

[jazzadogs]

Never seen it before. Of course Ray gave it.

After missing another clear holding the ball.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Can we lose from here?
Well 97 is too raw to say no.

[Grantysghost]

2 mins on the clock.

Let's play tempo now, no coughing up a goal late.

[Eastdog]

Port have certainly got there way into it that quarter but just good they haven’t taken advantage on the scoreboard.

[comrade]

FRO Wood.

[jeemak]

Our first touch hands are going to lose us the game.

[Mantis]

Easton Wood is going to cause my remote to go through my TV.

[Stefcep]

Naughton..

[angelopetraglia]

We can’t win a ground ball contest to save ourselves. Getting smashed.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

FFS why can't we ever hold on late in quarters?

[bulldogtragic]

Sub Wood. Hammy tightness.

[Grantysghost]

Easton oh boy. Why does he choose to use that style of dump kick. A high out of bounds would better FMD.

[ratsmac]

Easton wood has turned into a panic merchant

[angelopetraglia]

How did Port not score a goal in that quarter?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

This is just about Easton's worst game ever

[bulldogtragic]

How did Port not score a goal in that quarter?

Easton tried hard for them too.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Easton is really out of form at the moment. I'm not discounting his ability to come back, but whatever he's showing in the nets, ain't translating out to the middle of the pitch.

Overall a very good response to the last couple of weeks, and some smart coaching so far.

[angelopetraglia]

It’s like the AFL want an Adelaide final with a home crowd. Getting nothing from the umps.

[comrade]

This is just about Easton's worst game ever

He’s barely VFL standard tonight. Dump kicks, fumbles, munging everything.

[jazzadogs]

How did Port not score a goal in that quarter?

Pressure and defence. And some terrible misses....

What percentage of that quarter did Bont play forward? Felt like >60%.

[bulldogtragic]

If you’re counting. 12 frees to them, 6 to us.

It’s not the doubling. It’s whats being paid for them, and not paid to us.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

It’s like the AFL want an Adelaide final with a home crowd. Getting nothing from the umps.

Honestly, there could be something in this. The umpires and commentators have a CLEAR bias for port tonight.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

I don’t know how we hold on from here but I hope we do. We got nothing going that quarter and don’t look like scoring. Where did Bont go that quarter?
