Game Day Dogs V Roos Ikon Park 4/3 1.10pm Road To Glory Begins

[Mantis Toboggan]

Irrelevant in the end…but how was that a FK against Keath? He didn’t make contact until he was facing the ball.

 

[Struggle]

Where is the free kick there. Keith facing the ball which hit him on the chest

 

[Testekill]

What free kick? Zurharr grabbed the jumper of the player who was contesting the ball and threw him down?

has improved his defensive game about 0.1%

 

[Struggle]

**** zeibull is a shit truck.

 

[Testekill]

You can't blow the whistle and then call advantage when everyone stops.

 

[Testekill]

Dirty campaigner Ziebull went head hunting.

 

[gordo2016]

Irrelevant in the end…but how was that a FK against Keath? He didn’t make contact until he was facing the ball.

Replay showed he didn't have his eyes on the ball.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Ziebull is nothing more then a dirty dog

 

[Mofra]

Baker's just played himself into the round 1 team

 

[BarryMorgan]

Dirty campaigner Ziebull went head hunting.

No longer the worst captain in the AFL, but still one of the worst blokes.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

You can't blow the whistle and then call advantage when everyone stops.

Yeah that was awful umpiring. Not the only example.

That said, at least there’s been no HUGE rule changes that are reinventing the game this year.

 

[Doggy]

Baker's just played himself into the round 1 team

Yeah he's been alright

 

[The Inbetweener]

Hopefully Duryea is ok. Looks like our backline might be an issue again. They score every time the ball hits the ground inside our back 50

 

[BarryMorgan]

Baker's just played himself into the round 1 team

Adds a nice bit of dash.

[Sentinel]

Irrelevant in the end…but how was that a FK against Keath? He didn’t make contact until he was facing the ball.

The umpire would have argued that it wasn't a realistic attempt to contest or spoil the mark, and even though he was facing the ball by the time he made contact it was still front on. He turned but had no idea where the ball actually was. Fair free kick I think.

 

[Maverick Dog]

Refreshing to see our defence actually marking the ball instead of blindly punching. our skills are terrible but that is expected after stupidly not playing a proper game last week.

forward connection still not there. Seems haphazard as always. Need to ensure our seperation and leading patterns improve

has played one hell of a quarter

 

[dergert]

Midfield has no defensive side. It is a practice match but I thought we'd see a bit more.

Midfield still bombing it on the head of packs in the fwd 50.

Lobb, Naughton and English are all contesting the same high ball which is infuriating.


Most pleasing thing for me is that our fringe players are playing well: Anthony Scott, Oskar Baker

Crozier has done some good things as well.

Hopefully Duryea is alright

 

[Angak]

It's early but not impressed

Kicking inside 50 has been poor therefore we are struggling to defend the transition

Jones clear BoG. Keath needs to stop panicking in defense

 

[Libba39]

Feel like we're pretty top-heavy. Several times at least 3 of English, Lobb, Darcy, JUH and Naughton all flying for the ball on the wing.

Otherwise...
-Liking what Baker brings
-Crozier looks like the Croz of old.
-Daniel - looking lost
Xerri and Goldstein winning the ruck by a fair margin.
-Lobb average so far
-Macrae, Libba, Bont and Smith all finding it.
-Jones and Keath combo looking good but still too much easy ball coming in overall

 

[Testekill]

Hopefully Duryea just had a stinger and the brace was a precaution.

 

[SPower]

Adds a nice bit of dash.

Only practice match, but could not do any more so far.
