[Some Idiot]

pipe down. i have read countless times on here supporters constantly be negative about out players it’s pathetic. Luke cleary best example got no afl traits and so on.
Most of the people on here wouldn’t get of the couch. Unlike you i have been involved in the game at a very high level and in development.
As a small fwd yes they need to get the ball and hit the scoreboard i didn’t say it wasn’t important but its less important than them
keep the defensive structures and running patterns while providing plenty of pressure and being competitive. Possessions and goals will come.

It's not like these the guys have shown the competitiveness and defensive efforts of say a young Dahlhaus or Rhylee West. If they were doing that people would probably not comment on the stats sheet.

Really choppy waters out at Point Gellibrand. Just bank the points and move on if we win, not going to learn anything with these conditions.

 

[Testekill]

Kicking against a two goal breeze, Baker kicks the first goal of the game.

 

[Testekill]

Should be a good battle for Smith against a very good journeyman against Downie

 

[Testekill]

Would say it looks stronger than a 2 goal wind considering that multiple Willi kicks have gone the entire centre square with zero effort.

When did Gardner become prime Matthew Scarlett?

About quarter time last week. He was magnificent last round.

Umpiring is going exactly as expected too

 

[Bulldogs85]

Umpiring is going exactly as expected too

It’s pathetic really

 

[DognBones]

I know the conditions are bad but this is the worst TV coverage I've ever seen.

Locksmith tackling everyone who looks at him funny

Locksmith tackling everyone who looks at him funny

Looks like he's playing angry today

 

[Testekill]

11 points down at quarter time kicking against the wind and with some very soft umpiring going the way of the Seagulls

 

[lachy]

Really difficult conditions as expected. Need to make sure we use the breeze with work rate and not just expect things to happen this quarter

 

[goodcop badcop]

Smith having similar issues early in the game to last week. 7 clearances to Downie already (the opposing ruck), he's tackling well though.

 

[Testekill]

Coffield with a rare goal

 

[Testekill]

Really difficult conditions as expected. Need to make sure we use the breeze with work rate and not just expect things to happen this quarter

Seagulls are predictably throwing as many numbers behind the ball as possible

 

[Testekill]

Crofts equals up the score by being the only player that predicts a ruck contest 15 out

 

[Pencil case]

Hynes has lifted this qtr

 

[Testekill]

Third goal from a soft free incoming for Willi

 

[Marsy]

That kick went 10m

 

[Bulldogs85]

Getting destroyed by the umpires my God

 

[Wizard17]

Williamstown using the footy a lot better than we are

 

[DognBones]

Williamstown are playing the conditions better, playing in front and pushing the ball forward from the stoppages. Downie is dominating the ruck and giving their mids a lot of ball. We look very slow in the backline with Willi forwards getting away from our defenders too easily.
Baker has had a lot of the ball, Gallagher's disposal needs a lot of work, Busslinger needs to avoid his dinky kicks on a day like today because he tends to miss his target. We will need a better contribution from all players in the second half to get the win here.

 

[Westerndog11]

McLaughlin mid season draft?
