Review Dogs 100 def Eagles 93 - Rd 2, 2021

[Struggle]

Naughton absolutely smoked Mcgovern with his work up to the wings and on the lead. Completely nullified his influence

Nice conversion from him too

 

[gordo2016]

Don't know if this is a popular opinion but I've seen enough to say that McNeil is worth persisting with long term, I'd give him a rest with the sort turn around to the norf game though and play West. That steal that lead to the VDM goal was excellent. Like it that the outside runners we have brought in the last few years are all as hard as cats heads.

McNeil's second half was excellent. Has a lot to like about him.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Nik Nat is a colossus and very nearly single handedly won the game for the Eagles. Its a good thing that he ran out of puff in the last 10 minutes of the game.

 

[Dry Rot]

Bailey Williams that last 3 on 1 contest win. Unreal.

Can someone please describe that play with Williams.

 

[ossie_21]

Bont gets tagged for most of the game and still gets 30 & 3

 

[dergert]

Gardiner was solid in defence. Gotta feel for him and Keath without another tall for support.

Anthony Scott is not a Backman.

 

[Wizard17]

McNeil's second half was excellent. Has a lot to like about him.

it is like having another Vandermeer. Clever recruiting.

 

[dergert]

Leave Treloar in the guts next week.

 

[mambavino]

Full credit to the boys for staying with it. I’ll freely admit that I didn’t think we had it in us.

 

[Fossie 32]

Yay team!!

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Amazing to find a way to win from a massive hole, but let’s be real. Why do we always waste so many chances?

 

[Werewolf]

I thought we were heading for yet another frustrating close defeat at the hands of the Eagles, but not this time!

So pleased for the Bont making good decisions and kicking three goals after a poor (by his standards) game last week.

Naughton came good after a couple of misses and Bruce played his best game since smashing Norf last year

 

[Chicago1]

Happy Days are here again!

 

[Sentinel]

Can someone please describe that play with Williams.

I think ScragCity is preparing a new entry for the Erotic (non) Fiction thread.

 

[Struggle]

Also, thanks Collingwood for paying Treloar to play for us.

Unreal that we can throw a fresh guy like that into the middle when the game gets tight after he's been chilling on the wing most of the day

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

People slammed us for having too many mids. There's your vindication dogs. Tag team rotations, that's our strength and we're going ride or die with it.

Vandermeer and Williams, take a bow.

 

[dergert]

Libbas follow up in the final QTR to start our run on was huge.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Can someone please describe that play with Williams.

There was a video of it in the thread just earlier

 

[Cadillac]

LIBBA! Bleeds for the club.

 

[weltschmerz]

Can someone please describe that play with Williams.

Three Eagles, Williams, ball on the ground, Williams managed to get it and get a handball off. Ended with a Bont goal.

 

[Leon]

fu** that’s a good game of footy. Enjoy the win, I certainly would have, your mob definitely earned it.

Bad luck, Eagles were terrific - nothing but admiration for them.

creative, clean and often in a great spot for the intercept too.

I’m loving him back there.

 

[dergert]

Had we kicked straight we would have dominated. We are so frustrating!

is starting to look like the bloke we signed. Much better than last year.

Bailey Dale creative, clean and often in a great spot for the intercept too.

I’m loving him back there.

Been very impressive, still room to go but he certainly hasn't lowered his colours yet as a defender.
