Game Day Round 8, 2019 - Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Lions

[James North]

Up to a whole 19 disposals by 3QT between this average trio.

I know you can't drop them all, but at least one has to get dropped.

Low disposal numbers of forwards is a great way to indicate that we aren’t getting it forward....

Drop who?

 

[martinson]

Stef tries really hard but he just needs to handball it to someone very close to him.

A few guys playing on reputations haven't lifted when we need them

One change down has hurt us . Hard to see us winning it from here .

 

[JB42]

Backline so slow with Lester, Andrews, Hodge, Witherden, Gardiner, Rich and Bailey off.

 

[Harris Specter]

McCluggage and Berry both very quiet in that 3rd quarter. Need a big lift from them.

 

[WA Lion]

I

err Aaron Naughton this, Bontempelli that. flogs

N fairness we haven't given them much reason to talk about us!

 

[Broken]

Bit of drizzle the last 10 minutes here at Mars. Bulldogs doing better when the ball hits the ground, Lions need to read the wet ball better to win this.

 

[Sausages]

Sorry all, have a mate over, so not been on......

BUT I STILL BELIEVE

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

We are still going to be inconsistent. Next year is the year we should really rise. So disappointed today. Different disappointment as I now have expectations and loses hurt more

lol. just lol.

 

[haystark]

How the bloody hell did that ball get down the other end that quick when we had plenty of bodies? The mind boggles. No desperation.

 

[martinson]

Not hard to see why Fagan kept him in the reserves for the first part of the year. Uninspiring performance, but he's not alone.

You're kidding . He was really good in that quarter . Have another look

Bont has one arm pinged and supposedly disposes of it correctly.

 

[M Malice]

I hope this isn't a season momentum killer, we have blown a massive opportunity today.

Lose to Adelaide next week and it's officially wheels off and Lid on for this season.

 

[Roogal]

Alright. Game day preps in order. Coronas on ice. Chicken drumsticks about to go on the weber. Wife's left the house. Come on boys.

Good ... Missus is gone ...let the profanities fly

 

[bato]

over commit every time.

 

[undefined]

Never want Brad Johnson commentating a game I watch again.

 

[PTizzle]

Look cooked, giving them so much space.

 

[bato]

Not one team in history has kicked this well in the wet. * this.

 

[Bucking Beads]

So damn wasteful. We just don’t deserve to win.

 

[Daddy Bolt]

I know I'm just about a lone voice on this but IMO Stef Martin is way over rated, he can not kick unless it is long down the line and he has no awareness. He gets the ball around the ground but most of them don't mean much, just a hand ball off or a kick down the line is all he is reliable at.

End of Stef rant/

I agree with this. Hardly ever taps to advantage.

 

[pulpdriver]

dead

 

[Hollow Knight]

Utterly disagree.

 

[WA Lion]

Twice in quick succession

 

[Harris Specter]

We just can't lock it in our forward half. They kick the first goal of the last.

 

[Dylan12]

All three have been in the middle as well and still nothing, so to say they have just been playing forward and have low numbers is just wrong.
