Review Dogs def Norf 105-84

[MaxiBont]

If you can watch that and think Bevo should be coach next year I don’t know what to tell you. Players out of position at the start of the game, no forward structure and no ability to counteract what North was doing. Drab, uninspired and too familiar. The club and the players need someone to come in with fresh ideas

 

[_Mike_]

Bont, Adz, Cody, English, Libba (for 1st half efforts) & Daniel stood out for me

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Do we have to keep Naughton back now? That kick out of defence was putrid.. how far away is Darcy? Maybe buss?

They would get out muscled too easily I think.

 

[Claudonious]

If you're serious about loving this club, you cannot be happy with that.....

We won - who cares about how and why. 2 key defenders injured is the real problem. Our backline is now decimated for the next month.

Naughton back 100% win rate in 2023, the stats don’t lie.

Feel sorry for JUH. He’s coming along excellently but really needs to work out his goalkicking. This stutter step isn’t working and he came into the club as a decent set shot.

Superb by Cody. 50th game, kicks 6 and takes a couple of great grabs.

Pretty we sure lose with that level of performance against anyone that’s not North or West Coast.

Needs proper professional coaching, and sooner than later. BT, Dunstall, Tory Dickson, Lindsay Gilbee, someone different from who he is being coached by now.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Tough crowd. 3 qtrs without our best KPD and a half with his most logical replacement.

 

[mattwa]

Waste of a potential % boost. Should have been a 50 point win with all the missed shots and overall dominance

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Very impressed by Riley - second efforts and tackles were brilliant and used the ball well. Can’t see why he couldn’t play in the middle rather than Smith.

I care because I want this club to have success with the great players they have before we lose them...Libba, Bont, etc etc

Embarrassing performance against the 2nd worst team in the comp - you’re happy with that?

Jones massive loss but geez cannot be serious

Cody averages 5 goals a game against Norf lol

Based on Keath this week and Bruce last week can’t see why not play Naughton back there.

Lobb looked a lot better being the main target.

 

[mattwa]

Bont master-class the only highlight with treloar and cody bring outstanding too

 

[Nat Fyfe]

Smith had 4 kicks, 15 handballs and 0 turnovers. I think he might have read all that stuff being the worst kick in the AFL

 

[Anja_Nees]

Very impressed by Riley - second efforts and tackles were brilliant and used the ball well. Can’t see why he couldn’t play in the middle rather than Smith.

I think part of the problem is his ability to cover ground. Gets exposed in space

Always thought he could be a good understudy for Libba but the coaching staff obviously don’t think so.

Hope he can turn this chance into a long term crack.

Accepting mediocrity does not help the club - and why do our good players get injured? i.e. Treloar, JJ, Richards, Bont, Jones? Because they are killing themselves trying to make up for the players who aren't up to it and who the coach/es recruited.

 

[GOAUS!]

36 inside 50s for 13 goals conceded, geez.

Have you looked at any of their games? They have improved, injectors fell in and last qr against pies was exc.

 

[cherrypie]

Kicked 4 for the first time against North. Kicked 5 for the first time against North. Kicked 6 for the first time against North.

Needs to keep playing them to increase his potential.

kick a goals against us?

 

[TiAn_]

They scored 8.3 from 19 I50s in the second half. Brutal.

 

[doggies ftw]

No doubt, they had a good crack but we should be above that sort of performance imo

Especially when it’s the same problems as every other week, a good side would have smashed us today

 

[The Inbetweener]

Hard to know what’s worse our kicking for goal or our defensive work.

Conceding goals on 70% of last quarter inside 50s to the 2nd worst side the league is hard to get your head around.

It’s been over a month now of lack of conversion and it’s cost us games and the opportunity to grow our %.

 

[Lex22]

Credit to North, they stuck to the task well. They’re very dangerous from front half stoppages. Probably another key fwd & a few good users short.

Our defence was a big worry (Keath hit the contest at pace ffs), felt like it was just a handful of individuals that won it. Scott was really costly with fumbles in some transition plays.

Bont huge, especially 2nd half. 3 votes for Cody and English a lot better this week.

JUH could easily be the best key fwd in the game in a few years, he’ll tidy up the kicking (wasn’t that a strength of his early?).

Barring one howler of a turnover, West showed good signs. Makes good decisions and can tackle. Offers more than most our fringe players.

Got the four points and soft-ish run home. Need a few soldiers back, however.
