Game Day Round 2, 2023: Western Bulldogs v St.Kilda

[Balmira]

I agree with George, and I'm usually more critical of the umpires than most. We had good calls in the first, Dogs had good calls in the second. It happens. We've had far more one sided umpiring against us in the past.

Were some soft? Sure. Were they there? For the most part, aside from Clark not falling in the back, yes.

Is Windy the sub? He has a sore hand, is there concerns about him being able to run out a game? I'd be having him start on the field and sit on Bont. OR - maybe we could get him on the field for Butler/Higgins subbed out and try him in the full forward position. We're missing a decent bodied guy there. If we have concerns about his gas tank, chuck him forward.

 

[CursingFijian]

Can’t wait to watch Windhager bring us home.

 

[Joffaboy]

Keeping things in perspective, I’m hugely excited by what we’ve seen today. Hammer, Pou, Owens, Stocker all great.
Battle and Sincs incredible, Steele has lifted to his old standard.

Add in King and 5-7 others being available and another year or two under our belts and it’s an exciting core imo

Wasn't expecting a win, enjoy our play and we know our direction.
The game will get picked apart with so many kids in, but the gameplan is sound

100%, need to keep it in the front of minds what this season is really about, handing out some whoopings along the way is just a nice bonus.

It’s our fault for not adjusting to the current umpiring of the game. If they’re quite sensitive on the threshold for paying frees and you keep doing it we’re only to blame.

Use your brain and assess what’s happening in the game and adjust.

 

[StJHD]

Re-callibrate. Bring back the strangle. Bash it forward. Kick straight when we have a shot.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Enjoying a lovely soy sauce and lime steak fresh off the bbq right now. Takes the edge off the s**t quarter

 

[MightySaint]

I have hope and it's ******* glorious. Please give me 15 years of injury free Pou. There is so much to like here. Nail another draft and we are well and truly on.

 

[Plugger35]

Hope we activate the sub sooner rather then later. If it was me i am tagging Smith with Windhager. Regardless he's to good to not be out there.

I'd pull the trigger on Windhager as sub early in the 3rd quarter if our midfield look like being beaten like they were in the last 10 minutes.

Get him in there before it's too late, he will give us a lift.

Naughton's 'mark' in first quarter in front of goal???

He’s simple here, simple there, George is simple everywhere

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

Only just got to the game. What did I miss? Someone give me a quick summary

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

The Matt Stevic curse...I hope they smash it!

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

He’s simple here, simple there, George is simple everywhere

Lover tiff?

 

[Hayes4PM]

Need to clean up our set shots and clean up a little first touch/one touch pick up and go skills. Watching the Collingwood game earlier and it's just silky smooth, they're the benchmark at the minute.

 

[George]

Thought we'd get run over at this point last week but we took it up a notch and ran over the top of Freo. No idea what the Dogs fitness is like but we've gotta keep trusting the run

 

[George]

Phillipou going to pull us out of the mire hahaha

 

[Hayes4PM]

Phillipou my goodness.
