By the way, Honey kept running away from the contest after letting the football fumble off to the side at one point in the first* quarter... should we retire him too?

I'm going to need a selectively-edited GIF to confirm.

Awful game of football so far.

Ramsay the pick of our players so far simply because of his work rate. Working twice as hard as any other player on the ground and keeps getting to contests, tackling and pressuring well although disposal hit and miss.

LOB has toiled really hard but hasn't been clean in the contest and then had a few passes to him plonked on his head inviting the spoil. Kicking has been good and you can see his defensive work-rate.

Honey very good in everything albeit 1 shot but not getting enough of the ball to him.

Cottrell for me had a couple of good touches but mostly been anonymous.

Lobs position is so dependant on quality of disposal going to him that those horror kicks on his head have been killers... His work rates been great, he's look stronger and his kicking is good. Just need to hit him flat when he is marginally open in the corridor.... Not float it to him.

I concur, I believe you can add 5 disposals to a fit, hard running wingers game when comparing VFL to AFL as the quality of service is substantially better. Looser zones and structures also allow for this.

Parks look void of confidence, think he needed a week off of footy, not a week in the ressies.
 
What an ugly game of football. Our AFL listed players need to use their superior fitness to run the Bullants ragged instead of playing reactive footy.

LOB & Willo should be owning this sort of game. LOB strikes me as playing to the level of whoever the Opposition are, with a little bit added on top because he can.

I'd love to know how the commentator gets the pronunciation 'Gertz' out of Goetz. When his uncle played with Williamstown everyone pronounced the name as 'Goatz' & when this young fellow was on the Bulldogs' list it was pronounced 'Getz'. These latter 2 make sense, whereas the former doesn't seem close.

That's how it's pronounced. It's G-uh-t-s.

I guess that's what happens when senior players lead by example... or don't.

Honey has been good. Although missed a pretty easy shot on goal.
Ramsay certainly getting plenty of touches.
LOB has been okay, kicking has been sublime.
Parks, very ordinary.
Willo, same as above.
 
who are these rats bashing up on Willo and why do umpires allow it? Willo looks a class above, as does Honey and Carroll. LOB too, but not getting nearly enough of it.
