definition of an ugly win

 

[Leon]

Job done, not pretty, but win is a win.

We’re in a bit of a rough patch but to be expected- injuries, travel, lockdowns etc

Bank the wins for now and hopefully we’re healthy and in form come finals time

Thrilled for Jamarra - great game

 

[random__hero]

We kicked more goals than points, so that’s nice

 

[Marbyriver]

Another four points, top of the table (for now), Jamarrah impacting, Bont & Macrae, Garcia..... I could go on. Onto next week and beyond!

 

[doggy_dog]

Can’t complain with a win but that was pretty ugly. We haven’t been ourselves for a few weeks

 

[Virgin Dog]

Garcia is incredible. Stat sheet doesn't show it but was close to our best.

Roarke, Crozier, Cordy all very disappointing. Would be great to get Wood and Gardner back in.

Very happy to see JUH play well.

 

[dergert]

Garcia's best game.

Bruce and Naughton were unseen. All 3 of our talks were chasing the same ball at some stages. Not sure what has changed from earlier in the year when we were firing.

Cordy is a liability. Wood needs to get fit soon.

Macrae is our only mid that kicks to leads from our forwards, the rest bomb it inside 50.

 

[random__hero]

Now let us move on

 

[Doggies_13]

Very ugly win, lucky that we kicked straight.

Forward line is not clicking at all atm with the mids. Constant poor passes.

Crozier and cordy terrible in defence.

JUH was much better, Garcia keeps improving.

Take the 4 points and move on but we need to improve 3 bad games in a row now. Got 2 wins from those 3 games but need to improve before finals.

 

[Dry Rot]

I only had a shitful MMM radio call.

How did Marra, Garcia and Dunkley go?

 

[Braybrook Son]

Hard not to be worried after that, and the fact we might be staying in QLD for next week’s game, because $1.02 it won’t be at Ballarat

 

[manutd/dogs]

Bont good, tho his radar was off a bit. Macrae great movement thru the guts.

Keath immense, as was Bailey Dale

. Crozier and Cordy not great.

Great to see Marra pluck a few and what a kick.

Weightman with ferocious pressure.

Ugly win, but still a win.

Back on top.

Garcia.

 

[wayniac]

Young kids saved us today. JUH and Cody, 5 goals.

 

[Bulldogs85]

JUH can keep this place in the team

 

[Virgin Dog]

Undefeated interstate. We're usually awful away from Victoria, but seem to have turned that around at least

 

[bullish23]

July is upon us, and its a bit of a slog. A few signs there are a few sore guys out there. Depth helping though i.e Garcia, Richards, JUH.

Hopefully by late Aug, early Sep, we are back running on top of the ground.

 

[Some Idiot]

Ugly win.

Happy to see youngsters like JUH and Garcia play well, a bit concerned with the form of our defenders and our inability to convert midfield dominance into scores.

 

[Dog 36]

You take any win when your best player is out LIBBBERRR!!!!!

 

[DognBones]

The lack of an effective CHB will be a major obstacle in us going deep in the finals. Keath is really playing the role of 2 key backs at present and it's unsustainable.

 

[_Mike_]

Bontempelli cannot kick and does not deserve the Brownlow.

Thanks for your insightful contribution

 

[Norm De Guerre]

I stated at the start of the pre-game thread that I had no idea that this game was on today.

I wouldn't have been bothered if I tuned in tomorrow afternoon only to find that we'd won by 12 points yesterday.

We aren't playing at our best but will in all likelihood sit in second at the end of the round. Im ok with that.

Bank the 4 points and move on.

 

[MJG14]

Not amazing, but I extracted some postives. Great to see Jamarra perform well. And there's something about Garcia...

Need to be better if we want to go deep into finals.

 

[Chicago1]

Ill take a win over a loss any day, Marra's first goal was something to celebrate. We've really got a winner!

 

[CarnTheScray]

That was a bit embarrassing to be honest
