Autopsy 2-men down on the bench Brions spank Dogs 108-67

[_Mike_]

Such an insipid performance tonight, too many key players out exposing lack of depth.


There's always next year

 

[WAbulldog]

Bloody disgusting performance in that second half, gave up when the heat was on.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

I’m sure people will think this is a bit dramatic, but I can say that Mccomb is comfortably the worst player I’ve seen get an extended run in the team. Helped Brisbane more than us tonight.

 

[Foxman98]

At least I don't have to hear Sweet is 100% win rate

 

[Chicago1]

My pizza was great. I still have half left.

 

[SackofTaters]

The remainder of the year needs to be List Management only.. The season is cooked, build a working structure for 2023.

 

[Whoyagot]

Great to see both sides hanging out and chatting after the game. Seem like both teams really get along. Great to reinforce that it’s just a game.

Bad luck doggies - on to next week!

 

[Doggy Dan]

Simply not good enough. let’s frustrating but it’s an unfortunate fact of life.

 

[Bulldogs85]

JUH is developing nicely shame he couldn’t finish off his good work

 

[Doggies7]

Treloar off late with a hammy too?

 

[Libba39]

Glaringly obvious is how much we rely on Daniel's kicking and decision making.

Disappointing but not surprising.

[Jeff 1975]

That hurt

 

[footscray1973]

**** you Beveridge, and your ****ing stupid territory concession on the mark. It wasn't the deciding factor, but WTAF does it achieve, you pillock?

There, glad I got that off my chest.

As to everything else, a largely sh1tful performance. Even with players back, finals are a pipe-dream.

 

[ScragCity]

My pizza was great. I still have half left.

Send the other half to me. I'm bloody starving mate. My wife will only let me eat grapefruit and asparagus until I fit into the new shirts she bought me.

Other teams have adapted to use it now too the difference is they push forward and attack straight away as soon as the ump calls play on

 

[hutchy31]

+7 inside 50s
+15 clearances
+9 contested possessions
Yet….
-41 points

**** off. What a ****ing disaster.

Bevo can sit on the bench and look animated if he wants, but we are consistently losing games through team selection and game plan. It’d be boring if it wasn’t so ****ing frustrating.

 

[The Inbetweener]

28 scoring shots from 48 inside 50s has to be a record.

Having more inside 50s but losing by 40+ has to be a record.

That sums us up - very poor defenders and a dysfunctional forward line

 

[Unorth]

The umps definitely wanted to patch things up with the Lions but that kind of stops being worthy of mentioning when you get smashed.

We have no choice but to play super aggressively because our backline is shot. We could play more traditionally and try and compete in 1 on 1s but we'd get hammered that way. Against weaker teams we put up 120 and win. Against top 4 teams on their home deck it's likely to backfire as it did.

Too many VFL calibre players too. But we're stretched thin.

I think the outs we've had and the backline we've created have ensured we'll pretty consistently lose to top 8 teams this year. We could scrape in but we don't have anything close to the makings of a premiership backline and would likely get bundled out early.

We could beat Sydney and Geelong away and this game doesn't quite matter as much but if Caleb is missing more time I think the team has reached it's ceiling for the year.

 

[TiAn_]

Won the clearances, contested possessions and inside 50s and lost by 7 goals.

Conceding 120 marks in the way we did with easy chip kicks right through us all night long just cut the knees out form under us tonight.

Defensive structure is poor right across the ground and composed sides expose us over and over again.

 

[Oliver G]

Western Bulldogs (Q2 3' to FT)...

+1 hitouts to advantage
+8 first possessions
+7 clearances
+4 contested possessions
-900 metres gained
-1 tackle
-3 inside 50s
-14 shots
-10 goals

 

[Doggies_13]

The second half was atrocious.

Forward entries and converting shots was absolutely laughable.

Our defensive issues were again on show for all to see. Yes we have some injuries down there but if we have to go with Scott as our lock down defender on the most dangerous opposition small that’s bad list management.

We got killed by transition again, the zoning off the mark adds to this as you give teams the ability to move you actually encourage them to play on and move quickly by doing it.

Schache did what Schache does good game followed by shouldn’t be on a list game.

McComb just enough please.

Some positives.
JUH is growing apart from goal kicking was probably his best game so far, good kicking and great hands.

 

[Some Idiot]

Positives - West is every bit his father's son. Tried hard and deserved that goal at the end.

Negatives - just a really poor performance with the opposition being two players down.

Scott wasn't even that bad on Cameron but our defensive structure was non existent at times.

Agree ""stupid territory concession on the mark""

Should follow Geelong's lead -- pressure on the ball carrier at all times

Get rid of the wife, tear up the shirts and enjoy a pizza! Life is too short
