Game Day Round 10: Bulldogs v Essendon, Marvel Stadium, 17/5/25 7.35pm AEST

[Yoda_]

flipping oath. When does the downward spiral stop??

I think we are on the right track and then remember we just re signed Harry Jones for 2 more years

 

[Happyskeret]

When is that JJ going to retire?

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Are you guys still watching the game?? Wow, you guys really are masochists. I mean, sure, see the game out if you’re attending. That’s support. But if you’re at home go and find a cheese grater and run it over your whole body. It is far less damaging.

I need to see a positive, any positive.

 

[Lore]

I went one level further and decided to try and assemble some IKEA furniture

With or without a power drill and allen key bit?

 

[srobbo]

Brad sub’s ElHouli who’s the one of few blokes who can hit a target by foot.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Can Brad survive this? Time to microwave the membership cards

 

[ghostdog]

langford has been so poor since returning

Likewise Calders.

 

[Coldacre]

'81 comeback game v Carlton on youtube is looking pretty appetizing right now

 

[Blind Turn]

I’m doing both.

Hmmm, that’s a guy who takes their masochism seriously.

I need to see a positive, any positive.

Not tonight my friend. Not tonight.

If we aren’t going to play Hobbs in the middle he needs to be out of the side, provides nothing forward as he’s too slow and skills are shocking.

Perkins is putrid, Wright is off the boil tonight, Langford is just back and out of form and we surround them with 3 kids in ADW, caddy and Kako. It’s no wonder we can’t score and half backs have a field day each and every week

 

[Call Me Cake]

Leaders have let us down tonight. Admittedly we don't have many out there.

Langford, Wright, Merrett, Redman. Neither have taken ownership and lead by example.

 

[nipst@r]

Laverde is hopeless. West will have 6 on him.

Look at that footage. Laverede running 10 metres to the side of his direct opponent who was also the only player fwd of the ball. You just can't accept that and needs to be dropped straight to the vfl.

 

[Happyskeret]

Nice grab Reidy

 

[Yoda_]

I hope like hell supporters boo this shit storm off the ground at the end of tonight


Im not one to really like it but accepting it would be to just leave and say "no worries".

Embarrassing how uncompetitive we are

 

[Mikevk123]

Why would they sub Saad? Simply baffled.

 

[Yoda_]

Compare the kickers in the Dogs back half (Dale, Williams, Johaniesen, Duryea even) and then look at ours (Redman, McGrath, Roberts, Prior)

Absolute light and day. We need better users from the back half

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Nice movement from some of our youth there

 

[ghostdog]

Yes Brad Scott, keep playing Laverde. It's worked so well for us in the past.

Who should he have selected?

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Essendon have won 2 more games than Melbourne and Melbourne are supposed to be a million miles ahead of Essendon in the development phase. You’re also one game ahead of Carlton who were top 4 certainties at the start of the year.

Essendon have had more than an acceptable to start to 2025.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Caddy's shot just about sums up our day.

 

[Calthorpe14]

Laverde is hopeless. West will have 6 on him.

Look at that footage. Laverede running 10 metres to the side of his direct opponent who was also the only player fwd of the ball. You just can't accept that and needs to be dropped straight to the vfl.

He’s been a liability in our backline for years. This is his last season on the list. Absolutely no shot he’s back in 2026 IMO

 

[BomberManU]

Who should he have selected?

The bloke eating a pie, level 2, front row.

 

[Blind Turn]

Why would they sub Saad? Simply baffled.

I’m getting Bachar Houli and Massimo vibes at the moment. We’ll undervalue his potential and another team will swoop and offer him a two year deal where he’ll thrive.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Who should he have selected?

Johnson for one. I'd understand if the Doggies had a forward line like Adelaide's, but look at the Bulldogs team. They have one tall forward in Naughton and then their next tallest guy is Kamis.

You think Laverde and his cement feet are the best healthy matchup we have on the list for Rhylee West?
