Game Day Round 7, 2023 : Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 4:35pm Marvel Stadium

[SJT76]

Wind has gone out of my sails - few gettable misses and some dubious umpiring have done me in

Just going to lie back on the couch and watch the third and keep looking for the improvements

Enjoy the ride. Today means very little

Wooden Spoon Quarter is back.

So frustrating to watch from the stadium, we just don't have the polished to finish such great work around the ground. Keep going lads!

Fairly garbage quarter, another 3rd quarter special from the Hawks. WTF are we doing at HT?

Don't think we were that bad. Had chances. If we got the same run of the green it was pretty even

 

[peetoo]

Some rubbish calls in the third but it wasn’t a 3rd quarter blowout like we’ve seen this year

Yep I had a feeling it would blow. Dogs players smarter than ours

 

[The hands of stone]

We need these 40 games into the guys asap

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Subbing Seamus off for ‘tactical reasons’ then watching Fergus get concussed is so stupid

I don't think they planned on Greene running into the post

 

[Hawks1994]

Very frustrating quarter

Some real horrific decisions by the green dudes early on to deny us a couple shots at goal, and then a few shocking defensive efforts from the lads

At least didn't let them get a big run on in terms of scores, but we certainly lost our way a bit with linking up. We look fairly tired, whereas the Dogs seem to be getting on the outside more often

Big test again, so hoping we don't lie down and can play it out

 

[VandoHawk]

Knew it was going to be s**t when Fergus got his arms clearly chopped and they didn’t call it. Then they rebound, and Impey gets clearly pushed in the back when contesting and they didn’t call it.

The Dogs lifted their intensity which made it difficult but 4-5 umpire calls have directly cost us goals.

 

[Burtman]

Got ripped a few goals that qtr that made it look worse, Greene and brockman cheated out of easy goals

 

[MinerBoy]

Still enjoying this game - but we look tired:

• Will Day is genuine A grader
• Mitch lewis less impact there but he's awesome. If he kicks a goal his confidence will blow up
• Stop whinging about the umpires
• Scrimshaw is a gun - I don't get why he's fringe in this side.
• Midfield just never settled - we looked a step off the pace that whole quarter.
• We only got about 6 inside 50s that quarter. Just lacking that flow.
• Hardwick has played an underrated game imo

Agree with all that… except the whinging.

* that and * them

We're not fit enough. 3rd quarter shows it most weeks.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Couldn't make the most of our effort, much like the first half.

+24 for contested posssession.
-3 inside 50's
+6 hitouts
+6 clearances

+5 marks inside 50!

Could've easily been paid a couple right in front too.

I know supporters believe this but I’m sure the players would like a win to reinforce how far they’ve come

 

[hawkhamlet]

CJ's record of giving an easy goal to the oppo in every game marches on. The sooner we see the back of this guy, the better.

That makes no sense. We outrun sides every week.

True. But I’m a supporter not a player

 

[peetoo]

The bont will take it home from here

It’s the script

 

[grumbleguts]

• Stop whinging about the umpires

So... you think that corrupt display was OK then?

 

[CHUBBSS]

Classic umpiring really, not sure we don’t just give away the frees by actually hurting it’s a joke

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Why wasn’t Clanger CJ not subbed out, Mitchell was playing well

 

[benhawk]

Umpires can * off!

Dogs have an extra 2 days, might be hard to run this one out

He literally got caught with the ball in defence. It happens.

 

[TylerDurden]

Wingard genuinely offers nothing now, need him swapped with some pressure

He's absolutely struggling.
