Early Match ups:

Ray has the job on Harvey, Firrito has gone to Griffen

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Roos are wasting chances, 4 behinds to zip at the moment, we're sounding shaky.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

We are getting worse, this is getting to be a slaughter, where are our forwards?
Cannot believe that its 4 onto 1 in our forward line, ball watching, reactive,second to the ball.

We might have a top 4 spot sown up.. but on our current form we would not hold too many fears for those who come up against us.
It is imperative we get back to the way we we were playing in the 1st half of the year.
Guys like Tiller, Aker and Eagleton are a liability at the moment, and Cooney and Griffen are not causing North any worries.

This game is all but over as we approach half time, and we need to show some resolve in the second half. We cannot afford to take a big hit to our confidence by getting rolled heavily today.

Where has our run gone? Where has our defensive pressure gone? Why does it appear as if we've got less players on the field than North???
Where is the passion??

I am not looking forward to September based on what we're serving up at the moment, and I am disgusted with the effort from our players since the break.

Farren Ray getting run down just typifies it all. Where was his awareness, and saving that, where was the communication from his teammates?????

I don't think I can watch much more of this crap.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Is the club insured?
Because if the players job description is to play football they arent and we have just been robbed by them this week.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Insipid.

This all starts from Eade publicly focusing on Hawthorn a month before even playing them. I've never quite heard a coach look that far forward - usually it's a week by week proposition but it appears the coaching staff have got ahead of themselves with this one, and it's rubbing off on the players because I doubt I've ever seen them look as dis-interested and as half hearted as today. Baffles me why Eade wouldn't care of our form leading into the finals. He FULL well knows this bunch had confidence issues in the past; why the hell would he toy with that simply because top four's a formality?

I don't see Geelong and Hawthorn doing that, why are we?

Nevertheless, the players need to have a long hard look at themselves because their effort - if you can call it that - is absolutely disgraceful for supposed AFL/Top Four standard. Aside from Johnson/Boyd and a few others who are working hard, it's been one of the worst performances I've seen from us. The lack of effort is very disturbing.

More team mates than Ray's fault there i think.

Minson 's doing ok. At least more than Street. Have barely noticed him after the ball up's.

Can't just stand in the square and watch Petrie run around.

I may not watch much more of the game. To see so much of nothing.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

there are few more lamentable sights than a footy team with no brains, and no balls

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Luke Darcy has just given Akermanis a spray on SEN.

He's said that from an outsider/commentators perspective, he looks flat, uninterested, and if he doesn't lift he probably should be dropped back to Williamstown.

Gave a rap to Callan Ward for being one of the only ones willing to put the body on the line.

He thinks we're gone from what he's seen, and from what I've heard I have to agree with him.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

Glad its an away game because I would be spewing if the club accepted the gate takings on this effort.
Would write a letter wanting a refund.
I paid money to watch a football match by the Western Bulldogs players , thats false advertizing.

Couldnt agree more on Tiller ,Aker & Eagleton.
The only highlight for me is seeing young Ward play so well & having a crack!
He is showing the way to the older guys.
Reckon it is time we got some more young blood into the team .
Surely the timing is right to rest the some of the above & blood young O'Keefe after he had another good game yesterday.He has kicked goals in nearly every game this year & gets a heap of the ball.
The team needs a spark & some young enthusiasm!

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

It looks very much like 2007 end of year finish. I can't believe this is the same team that would fight out the game to the very end to pull out a draw after being four or five goals down against Richmond. I am so disappointed - it always seems like when we have a chance for glory we just stuff it up. Whether it is being on live television or a just to finally win another premiership - we just let it slip through our fingers. We need a good sports psychologist down at the club immediately

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Kangaroos

What the hell is Akermanis doing playing in the back line?
No wonder he isnt getting a kick, i dont blame him , he is an opportunist forward not a backman!
