Game Day AFL Round 4 - Matchday Discussion Western Bulldogs@Collingwood(MCG – 7:50PM)

[unplugged]

Gee whiz, if this keepings off thing is going to be our game plan for every year, things could get very boring! Granted we kept them goalless for a quarter, but we didn't look like doing much ourselves.

Looks like we might be down a man on the bench too which didn't help Hawthorn when they'd all but put these blokes away.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

We genuinely look mediocre, I think overall we’d go close to having the worst foot skills in the competition.

Oh, and James Aish could be one of the worst players in the competition.

 

[Black_White]

Hard to watch... so many free kicks... breath on a player and its high / forceful blah blah...

And yet a couple of obvious ones let slide....

 

[anshell]

Exciting game.The AFL’s new rules are working a treat.

 

[Adz]

Great game.

 

[Bad Horse]

What this game needs...

is more cowbell!

 

[cakewalk_1]

Playing safe football against a middle of the rank side. Amazing

 

[Moore of the Same]

Love the rule changes. Really opening up games.

The AFL's lack of foresight on the kick in rule is the best one. They think teams will clear the zone easier just because they can run an extra ten. You'd think someone in that meeting would say "but Sir, what if the zone also pushes back ten metres?"

It genuinely looks more difficult to transition from a kick in than it was last year.

 

[HFF]

No wonder our forwards so far this season can’t really get in groove....it’s either coming down there at snails pace or not even at al between the arcs...

We don’t play instinctively enough as we did last year.
Get the ball to the right players and make a play or something happen.
It’s dormant at the moment.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Josh Thomas looks absolutely cooked. Wtf

The bloke is running on the spot. Getting doughnuts from Cox and Elliott. Forward setup looks unbalanced and no pressure. Our skills are a reminder of the horror of 2017!! Are we seriously got tickets on ourselves because we made the GF last year, because we play like this for the year, we won't even make the 8. Worst footy played this year so far from any sides, was in that quarter.

 

[Black_White]

Exciting game.The AFL’s new rules are working a treat.

Can’t blame the AFL for this.
This one’s on the coaches.

 

[Drought Break]

Thomas’s second efforts are pathetic.Doesn’t chase or tackle.

very soft player.

 

[unplugged]

Good kick, Crisp.

 

[GreekLunatic]

I thought 6 66 is more free flowing

 

[Black_White]

Sidey running forward in the centre all on his own.
We kick it to a one one two out wide......

Where’s the confidence to go back to the attacking zone?

 

[DogCoffee]

TV should never have been out last week!

 

[Black_White]

You should never have been dropped Trav!

 

[Black_White]

I thought 6 66 is more free flowing

Only when there are goals scored.

 

[DogCoffee]

I thought 6 66 is more free flowing

its only after a goal so 30 sec post bounce is same old ? I just wish the only free kicks that are paid are the legit ones. No the 50-50 ones

 

[unplugged]

Tay in the middle. How good.

 

[SheppPies]

Tay in the middle. How good.

I want The Bear back in their too.

 

[DogCoffee]

Wish Stevo would capture some form

 

[Gaben]

Why don't players ever shepherd anymore? Sidebottom could've given Phillips time there instead of trying to get a cheapie

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Tom Phillips has to be dropped. No other choice. He’s appalling.
