Game Day 2023 Round 18 Swans v Bulldogs Thursday @ 7:20pm @ SCG

[The King!]

we will still win

horse will fire them up

 

[lazy77]

McCartin's been better in defence this game, but his kicking is shocking.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Our ability to protect a lead is non existent.

Therein lies the problem.

We try to protect the lead, rather than continue what got us the lead.

 

[Mister B]

Some of the other mids need to step up. Bulldogs are just tackling Gulden before he even takes possession now.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

When was the last time Mills had a possession?

Looks half fit honestly if the time comes and our season is completely over just pull the pin on his year he looks like he could do with a rest

 

[Dangas]

Heeney in the backline I don't want to witness again

 

[Citrus22]

Played well that quarter for the most part but we just never have an answer for the big power forwards. Naughton has had an enormous impact on the game.

 

[Cadsky]

Time for the classic last quarter drop off

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Oof… yet another close game…can we please win one?

 

[Citrus22]

Also Gulden with 28 what a beast.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Gee I feel for Melican, was starting to really establish himself, hope injury not too bad!

 

[caesar88]

We really aren't very good are we. Just get sucked into every contest and allow uncontested possessions so easily. They just don't seem to know what they're doing and all our best plays are just players pulling things out of their ass and being individually brilliant. No method to anything. Is what it is. We can still get the W here.

 

[Dangas]

Amartey, can he clunk marks overhead?

 

[Citrus22]

If Gulden gets a few friends in Parker and Rowbottom in the last quarter we might be a chance.

 

[The King!]

Gulden been great, but then was trying to do it all a bit there


Corey Warner may be good one day but isnt ready

Is Stephens that bad he can't play ahead of him?

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Oof… yet another close game…can we please win one?

No.

 

[MF]

Like I said.
Brain fade by Blakey.
Should have been 4 goals up.
Instead this will be a 6 goal loss on the back of errors from top 10 drafted players & the selection of an ageing star who can't run out games.

I don't disagree about buddy struggling to run out games but why can't Amartey play more than 60% TOG. Surely he's been in the system long enough that he doesn't need almost half the game on the pine?

You talk like Buddy fades and everyone else stands up

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

No.

so mean.

 

[Citrus22]

thought McInerney has been much harder at the ball tonight and has stuck some strong tackles.

Injuries and continuity

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Shame for Melican thought he had a good game and him off has stuffed us up. Did well in the last few minutes to stop conceding 2-3 goals late.
Attack on the ball and tackling has largely been good just started to fade. Hopefully we can finally win a final quarter still right in this.
Gulden is right up there this year having a blinder tonight.

 

[The King!]

its a poor standard of footy as a contest

Dogs will be cannon fodder in September

 

[bloodsbigot]

so mean.

But correct.

 

[Jeffers]

Errol to win it for us
