Game Day Rustle Crow - Round 22

[bresker]

Missed tackles really hurt us, also, am I the only the one that thought Fogarty threw that ball after having too much time? Not a word said about it commentary.

Yeah two handed blatant rugby pass

 

[GOAUS!]

If you exclude Darcy's 3 behinds the rest of the team is 4.4 (the other 3 would be rusheds).

 

[Foxman98]

West has been dogshite today needs a big 2nd half

 

[_Mike_]

As mentioned

• they’re not executing their tackles properly
• inaccurate kicking for goal
• getting beaten in the middle

Not surprised with the current scores and was never confident going into this game

 

[bresker]

It’s similar to the first game against freo earlier this year, isolating Buku and making us vulnerable on turnover. Don’t know if we can carry him come finals if we make it.

In fairness Adelaide have three strong talls and the way they play means 1-on-1s . Buku doesn't yet have the strength to compete with Fogarty's type.

 

[wayniac]

Push Khamis forward, Naughton back. Sub VDM for Caleb.

 

[Oliver G]

We've had 12 shots for 4 goals, 7 kicked behinds and 1 no-score, 33% accuracy (+3 rushed)

 

[Bulldogs85]

Wow Tim English with 7 Hit-outs for the match

 

[Struggle]

Why is naughton playing so deep today instead of up around the ground where he has been so effective the last month

 

[Dogs Rule]

I expect a strong response. If we're fair dinkum, we crush the p*****. Will that happen though? Doubt it, but prove me wrong. Go on...

 

[Dog 36]

With our kicking for goal seems players kicking for goal deteriorated under our system does not improve or even remain the same seems to deteriorate

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

At the game, it’s similar to port, lack of intensity in the middle, defence looking soft and complacent and a forward line that is like a bowl of spaghetti dropped on the floor.
Set-shot goal kicking in perfect conditions is a joke.
But, a good 3rd and still in it. More of the first half and might be an early exit for me

 

[MaxiBont]

Wow Tim English with 7 Hit-outs for the match

Dunkley from Brisbane looks like he could be a decent ruck

 

[Doggy]

Why is naughton playing so deep today instead of up around the ground where he has been so effective the last month

It was working but for fear of being worked out have to change something.... smartest man in the room and all that

 

[go_sports_team]

Seems sore? Maybe not as mobile as usual

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Naughty has been a non-contributor so far, needs a rocket at HT

 

[bresker]

Has duryea touched the ball?

 

[TheScriptorWL]

For some reason I don't feel as upset with our first half performance as I normally would.

I kind of knew something like this was coming. It's not over yet though! Go Dogs! Fight Hard!

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I feel so ****ing dumb for thinking we could get top four by winning the remainder.

 

[Al dente]

always hard to sustain form and winning, happened to Brisbane eventually, us today
today isnt unexpected and not the worst thing, its the poor losses earlier in the season that cost us.
will be playing GWS for a spot in the finals most likely

 

[BrunswickDog]

We lack a hard edge, and when teams attack us physically, like the crows are, we fall apart. This happens too often.

Unfortunately, it is the usual suspects that look soft.

too many dogs marks dropped, tackles broken, committing too many to the contest and not manning up.

We are making an average side look like top 4

 

[mal68au]

Seems sore? Maybe not as mobile as usual

There was suggestion he hurt his knee early?

We look great when our forwards are spread out and terrible when they are all in the same contest

 

[Hobdog]

I feel so ****ing dumb for thinking we could get top four by winning the remainder.

Don’t feel dumb. I talked about it earlier. I always drop my guard and dare to dream, only to have it crushed.

Broken tackles galore

 

[dergert]

What's the point of having VDM as a small forward when he cannot tackle.
