Review Bulldogs belt Crows 85 - 40

[Mutt]

Very good effort boys!

 

[_Mike_]

Happy with the win

 

[_Mike_]

Happy with the win , not happy for JJ though and hope he’s ok

 

[stefoid]

JJ - upper hammy (tendon?)
Bont - knee strain, but played it out (why do we send blokes back out after hurting knees?)
English - eye poke

:-/

 

[weltschmerz]

I tipped us to win, especially with the location and Adelaide's outs, but I wasn't expecting a big percentage booster. Never stopped digging in.

Jack Macrae should back him in to take shots at goal more. He knows how to find them.

Our defence is the 3rd stingiest the league behind Collingwood and St Kilda. Liam Jones

11.19 does suck but we held one of the best offensive teams in the league to 15 scores and absolutely smothered them. Would've been close to 100 points if we kicked remotely straight.

 

[Libba39]

That was kinda hard to watch...

But we take it and move on. Pissed off by loss of JJ, but maybe Cleary finally gets his chance?

 

[_STREET_]

19 behinds, sack the coach

 

[doggies ftw]

I thought we were gonna be 0-6 after round 2, props to everyone for the turn around - still got some concerns of course as everyone does at this time of the year but massive props to Bev for the turnaround. Impressive form now. Apologies for my melts (although they were due at the time)

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Solid win bar the inaccuracy.

Hard to pick the points, tend to want to favour the players that set us up early before it was done, maybe

3 Baz
2 Macrae
1 Williams, Libba, Weightman

Very hard to pick between about 10

 

[theAthenian]

wow just woke up ( game was in the wee hours here) cant believe we kept them to 40 pts
Well done doggies time for coffee and replay
GO DOGS
btw .. how bad did the jj injury look ?

 

[Testekill]

I do think that we have to start resting the guys with bad hammies when we play in Ballarat or Canberra.

 

[Some Idiot]

A bit ugly in the end, but can't complain too much about a dominant win

 

[Deadly Darcy]

5th game in a row Anthony Scott has kicked goals. He’s having a real purple patch and it’s great to watch. Unsung hero over the last few weeks.

 

[Substance]

No run on allowed. Very happy with that, impressive defence from us this year. Bevo has them cooking right now. Still some big tests to come.

 

[Struggle]

Keep Baz in the thick of it, not on a flank.
37 6 tackles and a workrate second to none.

Love to see him back in this form

 

[Chicago1]

Really put in the effort today. Too bad the scoreboard didn't really show our dominance, though I'll take a 45 point win any day.

Baz's first half was one of the best I can remember. Liam and Ed continue to impress in the back.

High hammy and needed help limping off

I'm steeling myself for 6-8

 

[Snarls Barkley]

A dominant performance today.

Only downsides were the Johannisen injury and the inaccuracy that stopped it from being a 10 goal drubbing.

Nice to win well without English and Bont dominating, although both were very good still, especially English. They were carrying us early in the year. Getting great performances out of Daniel, Macrae and Smith the last few weeks and Williams is building off the wing.

Up to 5th until the Saints game, percentage a now respectable 108. Things are building quite nicely. Team makes a lot of sense bar one extra tall for no apparent reason. Will be interesting how they replace JJ, Cleary has been in good form at VFL level and would like to see him get a chance. I would refrain from putting Daniel back. It looked like Scott and JOD were the guys who filled in today when JJ went off so Daniel going back looks unlikely.

bad hammy it seems

 

[Dazb86]

Big game to win in the context of the season.

Really controlled the game from start to finish. Kicking for goal aside that was a great win.

 

[Bonty4]

Jones is recruit of the century

 

[hoianbulldog]

Lobb and English 6 tackles each. I thought Lobb was important without getting the ball much.

He's not high possession but I'm always happy for the ball to be in his hands
