Game Day Bulldogs vs Giants @Marvel R1

[Snarls Barkley]

At the time of that injury earlier, Lewis had something like 37% TOG. Must be nowhere near the required match fitness. Hopefully Croft is good to go next week so he can go back to VFL and build on that

I think it was even less than that

Think he was only coming on when English was off. He had 27% TOG and English had 73% when i checked on Fanfooty earlier (no idea if that’s always 100%)

Think it’s more tactical than match fitness but could be incorrect. I don’t think it’s the worst way to use the fifth sub. Don’t need five runners on the bench, may as well have an extra tall even if they play less than half of the game

If it was just him replacing English it’s a little surprising that Emmett or even Smith wasn’t the option but I’m in the camp of letting Emmett develop slowly without throwing him in different positions every second week

Some silly stuff early. Honestly though, no notes. This team is working like a well oiled machine. Buku and Lobb have played enormous games today!

When Timmy is selling candy and you're buying it... just pack it in.

Naughty could steal the 3 votes at this rate??

Was on a hiding to nothing today with how much they’ve been destroyed in the middle, but Jayden Laverde

has to be the worse player to ever play however many games he’s played

Was always useless for ten years at Essendon but kept getting gigs with their ineptitude. Have no idea how a second team decided that he was the answer to any question

 

[out of finals]

Budarick is awesome

 

[Bald]

Apologies if it’s been mentioned. Haven’t seen Sanders much this quarter?

 

[ReservoirDog]

GWS love chipping it around and going nowhere. Useless stats.

Been on the bench for 17 minutes according to the stats? Injured?

Just had it

He is on the ground

 

[_STREET_]

Didn't win by 100, might as well be a loss

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Footy is good

Plastics are improving. A goal closer than last game

 

[Testekill]

GWS love chipping it around and going nowhere. Useless stats.

Lachie Ash is such an egregious case of this.

 

[Doggy]

"Umps paying a mark for some very short Bulldogs kicks. Giants not getting the same latitude"

The difference.

 

[weltschmerz]

Jaques should never play VFL again

 

[TMoney22]

After two games, if this is our bottom 6, i'm happy

Sellwood
JOD
Hynes
Khamis
Bramble
Lewis/Croft

*Jacques and Budarick straight past them

There haven't been many mistakes from them so far this year. We should expect some of course. But if they can remain having good honest games. it will be huge for us

 

[NthBondiDoggies]

How good that we were that far in front Bevo eased off and cooled players down in last quarter. In presser he even seemed annoyed at not being able to get Darcy off - mentioned that he and Dale have had limited prep and want to rest them!

Obviously something special beating GWS - just hate Toby Greene

Surprising is that we murdered them without:

- Dale and Darcy underdone - they will get better

- Friejah and West did their jobs but maybe quiet compared to their own standards

- Croft and Jones out from forward line

- Trelor and Weightman out but they have some big outs too - and this is the best we have been injury wise for a while

- Still many young players that will be even better by the end of the year: Jacques, JOD, Hynes, Dolan

- Haven’t touched the draftees - Carmichael and Emmett both look good

Think I see the lid vibrating

But then, GWS had a few good players out too.

Hopefully, we are just warming up
