Re: Game Day Round 1, 2018 - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs at UNSW Canberra Oval

Here i was thinking i might have been a tad pessimistic in my prediction we'd only win 9 games this. On today's mess I might've been a tad optimistic.
How does a team go into free fall like this so quickly from a premiership?

I'm not sure why he is getting a special mention because there would have to be 8 players down. He's had a shocker but Wood has been bad as well

I have already mentioned Wood and Tregove throughout the thread. He has been useless today as was Wood.

I’m very interested in hearing Bevos post game.

When does the heat get turned up on Beveridge and the MC for the questionable team selections.

Some of his moves are like entering a Corolla into a F1 Grand Prix and expecting to compete.

Just after the heat about the non existent forward and defensive structure.

not after round 1

Why?

He’s had all of 2017, a preseason, two JLT games and round one.

The ‘don’t question Bevo’ stuff is rubbish IMO.

I only saw the first half - thankfully. It was the sort of performance that we cobbled together in 2013, 2014. Very insipid. No hard running, no pressure acts, no running into space. And, players played out of position.
Why, when the defence has been decimated would you play Wood and JJ forward.
Why didn't Daniel play? He can deliver a decent pass. Dickson-an emergency. Should have been running up to Heath Shaw and giving him a mouthful.
Jong has pace. Would have been handy in the midfield today.
Tom Boyd. We recruited him as a forward/occasional run in the ruck. We now need to get him in the side and leave him forward all the time. English showed a bit today and will be a player.
Not too many positives but let's not go into a brawl armed with a lettuce leaf.
Libber is a big loss. I can't believe the on-going cruelty of our injury run. Let's hit back big time next week. Go Dogs.

He’ll forever be a *!*!*!*!ing hero at Whitten Oval but Bevo and the coaching panel are clearly struggling and have been for a while.

You can only work with the cattle you have.

Today's team was inexperienced, (average 68 games compared to 93) and we tried things that didn't work. What will be telling is how we respond and change up again.

Because it's round 1. JLT means nothing, 2017 we lost 4 less games than 2016, hardly a reason to start getting rid of coaches like you want.

You do realise Beveridge is part of the MC which picked a side not including a whole host of experience? Regardless of that I don’t mind losing if I see our players at least working hard offensively and defensively for each other. We were spiritless. Bevo and the MC couldn’t get us going last year and they couldn’t get us up for round one of a new season.

Sorry but the buck stops with him.

Reads like absolute blind faith.

A simple eye test will tell you we were pitiful in 2017 and carried that on today.

Anyone remember where we ended up 2 years after our 1954 win?
I feel déjavu coming on .

Yes, we made the finals and got smashed in the Prelim. by the Pies. Ken Smale kicked six. I was in short pants but I can never forget it. Childhood memories vivid and painful.
