Slaps and Sledges - R2 - North

[bulldogtragic]

Slaps:

Past the obvious slaps:

Aker - Doesn't get as much of it as he used to, but boy he is good when he gets it
Eagle - Some of his kicking today was sublime
WBFC - For not completely shitting themselves when a team came back hard.
Hill - Good four quarter effort
Picken - I was unsure abour rookieing him, i love to be proven wrong.


Sledges:

Many - Butchering the forward 50 entires in the final quarter.
Goal Posts - They seem a little wider I reckon

[Mofra]

Slaps:

Backline. Were peppered in 3rd & 4th quarters, worked extremely well together.
Lake - BOG. Awesome
Williams, Morris, Hargrave, Harbrow - Did I mention how much I thought the backline played well?
Eagle - Not far off our BOG first half
Ward - On the week McMahon is dropped, showed he is classy in close
Griffen - Gun. Just shaded Boyd as our best midfielder.

[Stevo]

Whilst I didn't give Eagle a vote in the awards it was one of his better efforts today and it should be acknowledged.

[Remi Moses]

Slaps Acker he was tremendous
Slaps- Lake tremendous game,hard to believe that idiot on SEN [Mark Stone] rated Lake as a battler:p:p
Slaps- Griff - sublime skills that 3rd quarter was terrific.
Slaps picken- tremendous debut to nulify our bogeyman.
Slaps- The 22 for not throwing away a game that we would have lost even 12 months ago


Sledge- The North di**head behing the goal Punt Rd end and his rant on the Western Suburbs. Typical supporters of a team who represent nothing.
Sledge- Laidley doing a Wallace and whining about how much experience is gone from his side. he even included players like Brown who he de-listed.
Sledge- I thought we overused the ball in the conditions at times.

Street? You must be talking about someone else besides Peter... Nice one.

[AndrewP6]

Slaps.... Johnno you little beauty! Like a fine wine...
Picken...great job first up...a keeper....
Griffen...he's worth the price of admission
Morris, Lake...sensational...

Sledges... moron whistle-blowers.... gave Johnno NOTHING!
numerous... bombing away to no one in particular..
Mother Nature... bloody rain (are we spoilt under the roof at Docklands?)

Is Ryan Hargrave invisible? Talk about underrated he was brilliant today and got 5 more contested possessions than any other player on the ground.

Slaps-

Lake
Hargrave
Boyd
Cross
Aker
Johnson
Picken
Hill

Sledges-

Alwyn Davey for butchering the last leg of my multi bet. Had Essendon over 39 points and he killed a scoring chance in the last 20 seconds. They only won by 38 points.

Guido- Had a rare bad day I thought. Was still ok though

[comrade]

Slaps-

Lake
Hargrave
Boyd
Cross
Aker
Johnson
Picken
Hill



Couldn't squeeze in Griff? :)

[dog town]

Couldn't squeeze in Griff? :) Maybe he is invisible as well.

Just forgot him. He was very good I thought. Just a bulldozer in the wet with his low centre of gravity.

Goal snap from the boundary line in the first quarter not good enough?

I gave him 3 votes in the Woof awards , behind only Lake. Should get his first career Brownlow votes today. Brilliant.

[dog town]

Goal snap from the boundary line in the first quarter not good enough? I am a big guido fan but his head wasn't in it today. Fumbled a few more than normal.

I think Rawlings did a good job on him but he still should have been better.

[comrade]

Slap: Griff's little thru ball in the centre of the ground. Saw team-mates running past and dribbled the pill through traffic. Magic.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Sledges - Hudson for Running into Tommy Gun

Slap - Tommy Gun for completing the game, i lost another 5 years off my life when they collided.

Slaps

Lake: Sensational game. Still improving. Should push for All Australian this year.
Picken: Harvey normally destroys us. Great first game.
Griffen: Is there a better sight in footy than when he is running with the pill and taking blokes on?
Johsnon: What more can you say? He still has some petrol left in the tank.
Cross & Boyd: Both fantastic again. Never stop running or trying.

Sledges

Hill: No denying his obvious talent. But when its your turn to go, you have to go.
Hahn: Thought today's conditions would have suited him, but could not get going.

[Dry Rot]

Lake: Sensational game. Still improving. Should push for All Australian this year.


I wonder when opposition coaches will try to nullify his freedom?

I wonder when opposition coaches will try to nullify his freedom?

It's one of the advantages of being constantly under-rated.

[Bulldog Revolution]

I think Rawlings did a good job on him but he still should have been better.

Did Rawlings start on him? I saw Rawlings on Griffen and Higgins also

[Bulldog Revolution]

He's the one the choose to let kick it, and you cant blame them when you have Gilbee and Hargrave to cover

[Mantis]

Hahn: Thought today's conditions would have suited him, but could not get going.

Do you have a specific passage of play in mind with this comment?

I doubt they'd be too worried about Lake's kicking, more how marks almost anything inside their forward 50 when loose.
