Review Dogs 167 slaughter Roos 39 - Rd 3 2021

[MKS70]

Oh what a win. Bruuuuucccccce. Fantastic.

 

[Next Waiting]

whats even better is that people are singing his praises now, allowing for him to get noticed more for AA

I get that but personally I'm not too bothered about the AA stuff. A Norm Smith, Best Player in a Finals Series or a Premiership medal... now that's a different story

 

[dogwatch]

It's his ability to absorb the main defender, the second efforts to bring the ball to ground/harrass and tackle, provide the link up target in between the arcs and from what I've seen he's hitting targets across the park (especially inside 50).

He may not have got the chocolates but Naughton is the reason why our 2nd/3rd talls are now finding the ability to damage the scoreboard. Bruce is taking the 2nd defender (often who wants to play a more intercepting rather than accountable role) and then English who is getting mismatches every time he goes forward.

His work rate is outstanding and I had him as one of our better players tonight. He really is the key plank inside 50 for us.

Some wag criticised Naughton for his lack of second efforts and lackof game awareness last week.
LOL

That Naughton effort today was Biggsian.

Oh, and the 167 points we scored tonight was the same score we achieved when we belted Richmond by 115 points in 2006.

One of my favourite games ever. Glad I was there for it. Gosh, 15 years ago...

His second efforts are brilliant. I don't understand anyone who would criticise what he does off the ball. VDM and Smith should have kicked goals after his efforts to bring ball to ground and tackle.

I'd say for a KPF he is elite in terms of pressure and what he does when the ball goes to ground. So quick to regain his feet and get involved.

Plus his work rate up the ground allows Bruce to take the weaker defender (And English to take a much shorter opponent) closer to goal.

It's why I continually bang on about why he shouldn't be moved back. To me he gets involved in so many of our scoring chains plus takes the best defender.

 

[dogwatch]

Will Gardner's injury now mean Naughton moves back?
If it was my call I'd be tempted, especially against Brisbane but I don't think MC will do that.

 

[dogwatch]

I went to that game. Left at half time. Who was the coach then?

At half time? Pretty sure it was still Joyce. Might've been somebody else at full time.

But why though?

Neale is playing injured and Big O probably misses again.

Shouldn't we look to smash them in the middle and have Naughton cause problems up forward? Allowing Bruce the freedom he is seeming to enjoy.

I don't think they will they given the chemistry that appears to be developing amongst Naughts, Bruce and Timmy. Whoda thunk we'd have a fwd line that has chemistry...and 3 marking talls. Having said that, it's an option if a couple of opposition talls with regular supply are getting hold of us during the course of a game. Conditions (wind and rain..or both) at Ballarat might yet determine if we replace Gardner with a tall option. If it's good conditions, I'd say we'll go with a tall that isn't Naughts. Hard to pick which one though. Bad weather conditions that don't suit Brisbane's talls and we may opt not to go tall at all.

Libba, a legend. Ziebell, worst captain 5 years running. You love to see it.

Haha I wish they had a mic on Libba for a whole game as some of the stuff he would say to the opposition would be a pissa. The guys a legend!!

Play of the match about half way through the first. Camera zooms into a mum in the stands who screams excitedly in baby/toddler's face. Kid gets a fright and slaps her fair across the face! Camera cuts off and noone says anything!

 

[Oliver G]

We've now won 8 of our last 10 and really had big chances in the 2 we lost against Geelong and St. Kilda.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Think we all love the freakishly skilled players, but I also love those who are composed and never panic and Bailey fits that bill.

im more for players that under most circumstances, dont flinch

It was Joyce, and he was sacked after it. Lost by 87 to Brisbane in Brisbane round 1, 131 to North round 2, then gone

He was? Im loving him with a heap of space across the half forward line, he is a bull around the ground ball if hes not marking it. He can take a pack mark sure, but he is wasted closer to goal

 

[Igloo]

Holy s**t I just realised we had 17 scoring shots in the last quarter. That's ****ed. Poor North.

Third photo is reminiscent of their targeting of Hall and Bont in the past. Takes 5-6 of them to gang up to take on one of ours. Great effort to beat up Liber after bending over for nearly three quarters. Pissants.

Happy Bruce Friday to you all. Very enjoyable day, proud of the whole club and rapt for Brooooooo-see, the chanting equalled Bay 13's chants for Merv. My calls all last year for Bailey Dale

have been totally vindicated too! Was almost nostalgic seeing Easton & JJ out there, hopefully they each get a second medal. My old man also screamed out "BIGGSIE!!!!" with Naut's fourth and fifth efforts. Just a great day!

Wayne Carey probably went down and shook his hand.

Great to see Young Logan in Bevos Presser!
If any of you are hospital workers or healthcare workers you are amazing!

Thanks Scott

I’d be concerned if I was Hall, Polec, Atley, Walker and Turner at years end. Gonna be another big culling.
