Autopsy Lions get Naught in English Test - Rd 4, 2021

[Rocketsurgery]

Looked really tired in the second half. Not sure why, we haven't left the state for a game yet and coming off an 8 day break.

But a wins a win. I'll take it

the good:
Dale, midfield in general, English, Young, 4 and 0,

the bad:
nothing out of our 3 crumbing forwards, vandermeer, McNeil, Scott

 

[Dogsman16]

We really need to find a new mix of small forwards. VDM stays because his speed and pressure are elite at times but we need some natural smart goal kickers.

also, last 7 or 8 minutes we made poor decisions, plenty of times we had the ball against tired opposition and could have chipped it around. instead they bombed down the line, sometimes even centred it?

 

[weltschmerz]

A great match, and bringing Young in was a masterstroke. Swap Scott for Cav or West and we've got damn near our best 22 out there.

 

[Doggies_13]

Got the 4 points
Thought we could have finished off better

didn’t miss a beat was very solid
We lack a small forward
Big chance to go 6-0 now with Gold Coast and GWS to come

 

[Dog 36]

Libba!!!!!!!

Goodnight and enjoy.

 

[Dogsman16]

How good is Dale going right now. Forgot about him. He's quietly doing things really well.

 

[Selim]

32 goals between Bruce, Naughton and English this season so far not bad for a bad forward line

 

[Cadillac]

Bevo makes me so nervous.

It’s taken him 7 years to realise having a genuine ruckman is good for an elite midfield

We unearth a star in Young who wouldn’t have been given a chance if gardner didn’t get injured

He continues to play two kids who Just aren’t up to it while cavarra and west can’t get a look in

 

[ossie_21]

A few nervy moments, but we wanted it more.

Now let’s get ready for the Suns and going 5-0!!

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Trailed off a bit in the last quarter and a half but had the game well won by then. 4-0 first time since 2008.

 

[the conch]

Young played out if his skin today.

Our backline was huge in that second half.

Next week will be a grind. We looked spent that last QTR.

Great to see Woody fit and playing well.
JJ and Dale really important at covering the ground.. defensive speed and pressure
Also Dunkley, Libba and Naughtons commitment really impressive.

 

[Chicago1]

Reminded me of a winter's day at the Western Oval in the 70's/80s, except that we won today.

 

[doggies ftw]

That was a demolition, we never lost control of that game bar a couple of minutes here and there. Very very tough conditions, honestly we win that by 10 goals at marvel I think. No stress whatsoever from that performance we were good. Ugly to watch though at times

 

[bobs head soup]

Treloar and Dunkley are obviously tight, but Treloar just said Dunkley does more unrewarded hard stuff than anyone he has ever played with. That's a comment to respect.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

4-0, top of the ladder, best midfield in the comp.

You guys need to chill out about Bevo, Scott and McNeil.

Lots of players will get their opportunities throughout the year to make sure we have a 22 that works best at the pointy end of September.

 

[ScragCity]

Best defensive game I've seen us play. Lions are a pretty tough side but we beat them up today.

I’m eating my words on Dunks, so important to us. Probably just hindered my view on him because of how ******* s**t his role was last year. Keep playing him there and he’s as good as any of our mids

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

Leading goalkicker left out of the side and our B&F winner not having a great season, yet we're playing better than ever

The spread of contributors is super strong. Team first play will get us very far.

 

[dergert]

Duryea played excellent.

When Crozier comes back, I reckon Duryea may be useful up forward

 

[gimp!]

it was a Wallis kind of day today, reckon he would have kicked a few out there

 

[ScragCity]

Anthony Scott had some nice moments

 

[Wetdog]

We are probably one good small forward away from having a complete team. Hope we can fill it in-house this season and go all the way!
