Three things you've learned round 22, 2022 v GWS Giants

[Twodogs]

Tell us three things you've learnt vs the Plastics today

[GVGjr]

Bump

[Mofra]

1. Marra could potentially overtake Naughton. He could be that good

2. Teams have worked us out. Taking those cheap 45s and uncontested short passes GWS just walked it to our HB line for most of the first half, with no pressure.

3. Gardner's developed a real dose of bastard this year, saw him going toe to toe with Hogan off the ball in the first quarter. Great stuff.

[GVGjr]

1 - Footy can still be an ugly game but enjoyable enough when you get a win.

2 - Ed Richards is getting better the longer this season has progressed. Ed playing in the back half works well for us.

3 - Liberatore worked through the hardest of tags today but still made a terrific impact. It's been a while since he has received that sort of attention.

[DOG GOD]

1. Our refusal for one on one, allowing opposition to chip out of their D50 to their f50 is mind boggling. I’m not sure how Bevo thinks that will win a premiership.

2. Richards is becoming A grade, in the same mould as Dale. Brilliant year.

3. We are in desperate need of an A GRADE KPD

[bornadog]

1. The score review system is BS - that was a goal to Naughton

2. Turnovers almost lost us the game - again

3. We fought in out to the end and won

Definitely hit the post I called it straight away and didn't mark it down.
Surprised it took so long.

Looking at the replay - are you sure?

Well, as sure as I can be from level 2 :)

The umpire was standing there and called a goal.

The umpire was standing there and called a goal.

I thought in real time that it hit the post but the review was inconclusive - the spike on edge was all over the place. So if they were following due process it should have been a goal.

[Happy Days]

1. You can fix a game and still lose it.

2. Ed Richards could be the best small defender in the AFL

3. Bailey Smith loves the Western Bulldogs.

[merantau]

Richards played a cracker.

Libba gives his all every time.

Bont lifted in the last. What a pity that kick hit the post. He really busted his gut in that play.

[SlimPickens]

1. Ed Richards is a big smoky for our BnF. Has been fantastic this year.

2. Shades of St Kilda under Ross Lyon with the GWS game style today. Bloody awful footy.

3. Appreciate your efforts Stef but you’re well and truly done.

[Twodogs]

1. Ugly wins can be season defining.
2. Ed Richards is another ripper that has come off the half back flanker machine we seem to have somewhere in the bowels of Whitten oval.
3. If Dale Morris married Bailey Dale he could call himself Dale Dale.

[FrediKanoute]

1) Stef - done today proves that a half fit Bruce is miles better than a fully fit Stef (thanks mate)

2) Richards is a gun

3) English is a the best ruck in the league

[ratsmac]

1. Richards has been the highlight of an ordinary season

2. When English couples together ruck dominance with 20+ possessions he'll be the number ruck in the comp and get Brownlow votes. At the moment he can't seem to do both. It's either one or the other. He was good today

3. If we do manage to pull off an unlikely finals appearance, it will be a quick exit if the last 2 weeks are anything to go by. With our form this year a repeat of last year's finals campaign is a pipe dream

[westbulldog]

Todays effort will not get it done in Tassie next week, improvement and selection changes needed.
Collingwood is now my second team.
We are still in it.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

1. Richards has really had a great year. Interesting it took him going to the coaches and asking to be settled as a half back, which some of us had been saying for years.

2. The desire just isn't really there, hasn't been there for about 95% of the year, and isn't going to magically appear now. The club has a bit of work to do in order to get us back contending.

3. Carlton are kinda like us. They find new ways to lose.

[Dry Rot]

1. I thought Richards was pretty good, now I think he is our best defender and AA

2. Team clearly missed Garcia

3. Something is amiss with McRae

You mean Macare :D
