Autopsy 2025 Round 21 - Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants, 7.30pm Thursday 31 July, Marvel Stadium

Well I’m irate after that first quarter
Why are we always shit in the first quarter and let teams get off to big leads?
And why is Briggs always on the ****ing bench leaving his opponent alone?

 

[Tenens Pila]

Ironically tonight is garbage night here....

 

[Comedy Capers]

It is even worse being at the ground. McMullin is as bad as I thought he was. Defence all at sea due to midfield turnovers.

 

[Orange Agent]

A little bit worse than what I was expecting...

 

[Maximus 2011]

Cogs is cooked...

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Our hard earned % has fallen 2.7% after this dismal first quarter. Kingsley has to do something, anything, to stem this Bulldogs onslaught

 

[Tenens Pila]

Considering the Dogs have so many talls and with two established rucks (English, Lobb), perhaps selecting Madden would have been preferable than leaving Riccardi to be Briggs' backup.

 

[Orangeutan]

We'll need more than a Wardy speech and a spray from Kingers this week.

 

[Mors]

Wish we got the marking contest frees they do

 

[MelbourneGWS]

I know we don’t have Toby, Kelly and Buckley, but how can this be the same side that beat the Sydney Swans last week, and is on a (equal) club record 5 consecutive away wins?

 

[orange tsunami]

Off it goes

 

[Mors]

2 metre kick leading to a goal

 

[Orangeutan]

Aaaaannnd TVs switch off everywhere.

 

[domologue]

 

[_GT_]

Entirely predictable. This club lacks the steel to take it all the way. Add the fact they can’t turn up ready to play under Kingers, looks like I can safely plan September holidays…head ****ed

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Never thought it would come to this, but our worst ever losing margin against the Bulldogs was 61 points in 2019. Looks like that is going to be eclipsed tonight, unless we do something dramatic to turn this around

 

[Drummond]

Quite frankly, embarrassing. I don’t want to say season shot but wowww

 

[Land of the Giants]

Lost for words...

 

[sydney_gws]

We need to play better next week. We absolutely must pick our best team ( not that we didn't last week or this week). Can not afford any passengers.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Betting markets probably being setup on whether the Bulldogs will hit 200.

 

[Drummond]

Fonti, once again, go the spoil.

How have defensive coaches not noticed this trend?

 

[Mors]

Naughton gifted a mark + fifty

 

[Adam Giant]

This has got 2012 vibes. At least the team had an excuse to get flogged this badly back then.

 

[Drummond]

I’ve thought this for a while. Kinglsey often states that we struggled when “we weren’t playing our way”. Sometimes quality teams bringing pressure won’t allow you to “play your way”. Footy isn’t always going be played on your terms. You need to dig deep and have another plan, other options. This is disgusting. Obviously the players think it’ll naturally just turn and they’ll be allowed to play their free flowing style. Sometimes it doesn’t, then where do you go?

 

[Orange Agent]

The umpiring in the ruck is beyond a joke.
