Round 2 - Western Bulldogs trashed by Melbourne

Comments

An extremely disappointing effort and the team has trashed a lot of generated through the pre-season and specifically from GvGjr and his cohorts from the pre-season tent.
Personally struggled and banned myself from all Social Media for several days.
Marcus Bontempelli (57 possible 80) tops the voting from Jason Johannisen (46) with Liam Jones (33) ahead of Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (21) rounding at the top 4. Other votes were awarded to Lachie Bramble (17), Tom Liberatore (16) and Rhylee West (10). A shallow pool of vote scorers and we need a big lift for round 2.

[Bulldog4life]

Bramble unlucky got one vote from the coaches.

[GVGjr]

Bramble unlucky got one vote from the coaches.

I'll say, perhaps if he backs it up again this weekend there will be a few more believers in Brambo :)

[Grantysghost]

No Marra! Geez playing a lone hand forward crikey.

Wait, he's fourth. I'll shut up :cool:

Round 2 - Western Bulldogs soundly defeat Gold Coast

Marmo

4 – Marcus Bontempelli
3 – Cody Weightman
2 – Tom Liberatore
1 – Adam Treloar

Comments

A much improved effort with good contribution across the team.
Solid contribution also from WOOFers with 33 providing their votes including some very first time voters.

Despite one knowledgeable poster providing a strident view of BOG, WOOFers agreed with the Coaches award and gave top votes to THE BONT (108 possible 132) although only narrowly from 6 shooter Weightman (97). Next best was Libba (65) with a classic effort. There was a big gap to the minor vote awarded to Adam Treloar (15) ahead of Liam Jones (11) and Oscar Baker (10). Baker should qualify for a special award as the best performance from a starting sub.
Others to poll were Johannisen (8), English and Richards (7 each). The extremes of Daniel and Darcy each recorded a single vote. Overall 11 players were awarded votes indicating a good depth of contribution.

Solid contribution from WOOFers with 30 providing their votes and again including a very first time voter.

Another disappointing outcome, but we were in the game until conceding late goals.
Despite that we had a solid contribution from WOOFers with 27 providing their votes.
The voting was very concentrated around the top and only 4 players received significant recognition. Liam Jones lead those (98 of possible 108) from the resurgent Bailey Dale (84). Sam Darcy (55) really helped his Rising Star chances and Adam Treloar (20) was best of the rest. Apart from those we had 3 votes each for Williams and English, with West, Naughton and Bontempelli receiving 2 each. Khamis was awarded a single (sympathy) vote.

Treloar having some year.

Just disappointing he still sees himself as a Collingwood player.

[angelopetraglia]

Just disappointing he still sees himself as a Collingwood player.

Is that tongue in cheek or serious?

I don't think that is the case at all. I listen to him a bit.

Listen to his interview on Saturday morning on Crunch Time https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lCsbRPit6Rre9gLXX8VO9?si=b39dcf7da2cb4e1b

He is great for our club on and off the field. Love his passion, authenticity and you can only admire his overall preparation and professionalism.

I'm declaring myself Adam's number one defender and supporter. If you want to have a go at him, you have to through me first. Ha.

It's extremely tongue in cheek because it seemed to be a recurrent theme among some here and in the footballing public at large that that was how he saw himself.

To me he's been bought in from the get go and is a Bulldogs man through and through. I'm sure he still loves the pies, and that's fine. But he's ours and plays his heart out for us.

He has never been AA or won a B and F. I would LOVE him to tick both of those off this year.

He's a Bulldog. Think the bromance ending is the making of his bulldogness.

Edit : 79 games for GWS, 94 for Pies, 70 for us.

He will end up with over a 100 for dogs fingers crossed and father / child rule applies.

A brilliant finish after being shell shocked at the start. The team is starting to show some steel in their performance.
We had 29 WOOFers contribute votes, but this week was concentrated on 4 players.

Captain Magnificent, Marcus Bontempelli (114 of possible 116) led the way with a match winning performance. Midfield partner Adam Treloar (81) continued his brilliant form and is surely a serious contender for All Australian at this point in the season. Third position was Sam Darcy (40) making up for a difficult start with a superb effort. The minor prize went to Bailey Dale (37) also maintaining his brilliant run of form. The others were headed by Jack Macrae (6), Liam Jones (5), Lachie McNeill (4), Tim English (2) and Riley Garcia with a single vote.

Leaderboard

24 – Treloar, Bontempelli
11 – Jones, Dale

Bontempelli rejoins the lead as Dale moves to a share of 3rd and Sam Darcy moves up.

[Grantysghost]

Thanks Bulldog Joe you do a brilliant job with this!

Treloar wowee - I noticed he wasn't even mentioned in the AFL website AA half way side. Idiots!

Darcy on 6 is awesome. He's the best of the young brigade.

What a performance. Really a statement of intent from the playing group with lots of on field contributors including several playing the best games of their season or career.

We had 30 WOOFers contribute votes with a big spread in the voting amongst the players. This was the tightest contest for the minor votes that I have ever seen.

Of course the top votes went to HIM. Bontempelli (118 of possible 120) almost universally considered BOG. The rest were led by Bailey Dale (38), Adam Treloar (36) and career best Lachie Bramble (33). Very close was Liberatore (31), career best Rhylee West (23) and certainly best of the season Rory Lobb (14). Others to score votes were Tim English (4) and Ed Richards (3).

Top votes again to Bontempelli (91 of possible 92) almost universally considered BOG. The key defenders headed the others with Liam Jones (55) from Rory Lobb (38) in his own Liam Jones transformation. The minor vote went to Bailey Williams (24) maintaining consistent form. Ed Richards (7), Cody Weightman (6), Adam Treloar (4), Tom Liberatore (3) and Bailey Dale (2) were the other players recognised.
