Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

Great win, we ran all day and didn't look tired at all. The backline was fantastic today and really looked solid, the midfield was just awesome and to think Cooney was hardly on the ground (still got 20 possessions). Griffens first quarter was amazing and Boyd ran all day. I thought Ward was good in the last quarter, got caught a few times in the third quarter.

Players to rack up possessions were

Boyd 33
Gilbee 33
Higgins 29
Cross 29
Gia 28
Griffen 23

Overall we had 100 more disposals than Freo

Mitch Hahns 5 goals was just what he needed to give him a great start to the season and also laid 5 tackles.

Can't wait till next week.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

He's great isn't he, so hard at it, in your face, the type of player most supporters appreciate.

I just live vicariously through his playing. I imagine he would be what most of us would be like if we played for the Dogs -- red-hot passionate and in-your-face never-say-die...

I wonder if Eade will bit the bullet and make changes as everytime we play North its after a tough WA trip.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

Gia, Cross and Giolbee were great too.

Some out of character kicking from Gilbs in the 3rd though.

Still very happy

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

25 goals with Murph and Welsh out, Johno had a shocker!

Wash your mouth out. He was smashed by Tarrant at every opportunity and got little to nothing from the umps. He ran his backside off and was far from our worst.

Murph for Everitt. Maybe Harbrow for HIll too.

Who would be in the gun? Bloody hard to find someone to drop.

Still think that Callan must play next week.

Haha he was HEAVILY tagged by Tarrant, he still made some uncharacteristic mistakes. To elaborate... shocker by Johno standards, definately not our worst but not in the top ten. He took a very good player out of the game. The umpiring at times was quite poor, both ways.

Exactly.
I was thinking runners, maybe rest Aker or Eagle but they played well?
I would play Callan as North's small forwards worry me.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Dockers

Some blokes i just think cant coach, Harvey and Knights are who i think cant, and Terry Wallet , well his time has past.
We know most teams have the talent but a lot of it is having the coach who sets the game plan to suit the list.

I have my doubts on Harvey but Knights has bugger all to work with and I think he is doing very well. Last year his side was decimated with injuries and he didn't bitch or moan about it. We won't know for a while if he will be successful but he seems to be OK.

Wallace can coach but his ego is the problem. He has a few weeks to get this side performing. On paper it looks reasonable but he might have lost his troops.

Yep we need Callan to pick up either Campbell or Thomas who will probably be a bit too nimble for the defenders that played today.

Harvey is always our main concern, but their two indiginous forwards can turn a game.

I'd probably bring in Timmy Callan for Everitt.

Yeah, agreed. We struggled with Peake early and with a couple of suitable match ups next week, Callan looks a sure in.

It would be good to rotate a few runners with the big trip and all. Harbrow should be back, perhaps Reid. It looks like Bob might miss again but Welsh is a chance.

I wonder if the injury he copped yesterday might limit him? It didn't look serious but he doesn't have a great track record with injuries.
