Review Good/bad/ugly vs Carlton

Remove this Banner Ad

Sick of losing to Carlton in close games but we didn't deserve to win this game. That was such an awful start.

Our forward line is still a dogs breakfast. Three goals between JVR, Pickett, Turner, Fritsch, Chandler Petty and ANB. ANB gets off the hook because he does so much more around the ground. Hard to win games with that output from our forwards. Luckily we had Trac go there and mix it up. Forwards need to learn to attack the footy, we looked so much more dangerous in that last because our forwards actually started to go for the ball.

ANB played majority of midfield tonight and was one of our best.

Different sort of ugly
Fellow supporters going to games please , please for the love to christ you DONT verbally say how long there is in the game. You can know, don't ruin the tight enthralling game for the rest of us that don't want to know.
 
We’ve never played well in big games at the MCG under goody barring two finals in 2018.
Yep, the few big games we have won at the G since 2018 have nearly all been us dragging good teams down to our level of scrappy s**t and the backline playing at god like levels.

Since the start of 2021 we are 10-12 against top 8 sides at the mcg.
What are we since 2022 and how many of those wins were over 3 goals against teams not named the Bulldogs?
 
In a story the Demons will feel like they've heard before, they dominated the inside 50s (61-41) and had 21 scores to 17, but fall short.
 
Ugly:

  • Pettys miss 10m out costing us the game
  • Chandlers miss 20m out costing us the game
  • Mays touched ball being counted as a goal costing us the game
  • Pickett not kicking a point 2m out directly in front costing us the game
  • Our forwards being useless at bringing the ball to ground in the wet costing us the game
  • Gawn slapping the ball out of Oliver’s hands costing us the game
  • Sparrow never improving for 4 years costing us the game
  • Kemps dive costing us the game
 
I thought Woey was great when he came on.

9 disposals in the last quarter. He's looked comfortable at AFL level with each game. I'd rather invest game and experience into him.
Would have preferred he start on after the last couple of games
 
Lions game last year was a beauty
I did say "nearly all" not all. That game was weirdly different to most, we actually jumped them early and tried to attack throughout, entertaining for sure.
