to crack 50 touches and 1 kilometre gained so that Brad Scott can make 1 unforced change instead of 0.

 

[biglaycock]

WTF Shiel, Langers in the square alone and he short kicks to Kako v Lobb

 

[Jobe Watson]

Thank God we subbed El-Hawli so we could get Shiel's ineffective touches instead.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Tonight has been so uncharacteristic of how we've played the last 6 weeks. Doesn't look like us IMO.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Shiel lol. Everyone complains that Tsatas can't kick, while watching Shiel miss a wide open forward with minimal pressure on his preferred foot.

 

[Happyskeret]

What the hell

 

[div12ressie]

jesus that blokes strong

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

The too small was very well deserved after that fend.

 

[Happyskeret]

Glad to see Robert’s filthy on himself. Shows he cares.

 

[Calthorpe14]

Time for the old school mentality on West. Show up and mock a youngster like that, next opportunity he gets crunched. Stand up for your teammates for once

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Langford needs a spell in the VFL.

 

[biglaycock]

Martin has been good tonight, Duursma too

 

[gillon]

A don’t argue into the throat isn’t that impressive sorry.

We are a piss weak soft private school club.

Down by 70+ you put west on his arse everytime for that. Double goals don't matter when your already losing by close to 100.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Kick it with ya dick next time Shiel ffs

 

[Old man fletch]

Shiel lol. Everyone complains that Tsatas can't kick, while watching Shiel miss a wide open forward with minimal pressure on his preferred foot.

I get both sides. We can't just play kids each week otherwise our rebuild ends up looking like North. On the other side, I could see Tsatas becoming shiel MK2 if we give him enough games. Another few kgs plus another preseason or 2 with a focus on building his tank.

Think with Tsatas, we've got to take a consistent approach and sell the message to him so he doesn't push for a trade. Either games in thr VFL to build his tank and skills, or games in the AFL to get him ready for the level. In and out week after week surely kills his confidence

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

This is the guy keeping Tsatas out of the senior side? Lol.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Did we play Merrett in the forward line from the start? I feel like we used tonight as an opportunity to see how they'd go without him in the middle and it was a terrible decision that put us on the back foot from the beginning.

 

[Happyskeret]

Martin has been good tonight, Duursma too

Marto has been a lot better in the 2nd half.

 

[Calthorpe14]

Kick it with ya dick next time Shiel ffs

That’s the best thing I’ve read all night

 

[FootyGuru]

This is the guy keeping Tsatas out of the senior side? Lol.

Not really, because Shiel is the sub. Setterfeild is the one who needs to make way for tsatas

 

[horj89]

Grim viewing. Bulldogs on another level……another planet actually.

 

[ydc55]

Is it worth us winning next week again Richmond?
I would much rather us play our kids and if we don’t win so be it.
They are young too.
Bring vigo in even though nankervis will bully him.
Johnson in for laverde
Clarke in for prior- better effort just then
Alwyn davey for Hobbs
Gresham for sheil

 

[fairbump_playon]

Boys vs men

The dogs have really emasculated us a few times over the years

We are so far off this level it's like a different sport
