Gee that felt like a loss so frustrating

 

[timtamWB]

I'm sick of not absolutely smashing sides.

This was better than the last few weeks, but we could've and should've won by 100. Need to start dominating these teams on the scoreboard as well as around the ground.

At least clay is well and truly back.

 

[Unorth]

This one probably won't be getting any match of the year nominations

 

[VitalDread]

Great to have clay back. If this game was at eithad those 19 points could easily be goals

feel it, definitely feel it. On the bright side we win close games

 

[Igloo]

27 and 4 tackles for Dunks. Nice return for him.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Not often you can be annoyed at a 40+ win, but that was annoying.

Nothing has changed, it's the same every week.

Dominate disposal and inside 50s but Poor goal kicking once again.

If we miss top 4 due to % we have no one to blame but ourselves.

No doubt people will say I'm being negative, but I'm thinking long term. If we want to do anything in the finals we have to improve our forward work otherwise it will be a short campaign

 

[compact72]

Set shots are horrible
Should of won by 70 points

 

[Cadillac]

Let's just look at the positives tonight. We won an important game to stay in the hunt for top 4. Clay and Wallis phenomenal. Boyd and Redpath is going to work. Boyd had 9 score involvements, and Red hat a lot of shots on goal and should have kicked 4 or 5. If North can go 9-0 with Waite, Petrie AND Brown. Why can't we go all the way with Stringer, Boyd and Red as our key forwards?? We are a young team who one Again interstate.

 

[spokey]

Yeah!! **** em!

 

[Substance]

Not a single one of our 17 behinds was a rushed behind. Some of those kicks would stump Einstein.

Well done on the win Dogs, got it done. Clay was an animal, his contested work was the best in the team. Daniel very good, best user in be team. Boyd was solid, did everything we could have asked. Wallis stepped up as mid & fed. Stevens is definitely in our best team, just give him a couple of weeks. Picken was great at times, hard at it, usually good with the ball and still has a lot of speed. Jong was good, better as an inside mod than flanker.

Despite the above (rant alert), to only out score that Suns team by a goal in the second half, despite dominating in the back half and having so much of the ball, is a gigantic indictment on our mids and their disgustingly shonky disposal, the constant jiggery near goal that wasted chances and the lackluster goal kicking.

Could have wrested back a significant chunk of percentage tonight. Missed opportunity.

But a win is a win and I'll take it.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

We got the win without any scares so on one hand that's good.

On another after showing great forward efficiency in the 1st half we got lazy in the 2nd and returned to old bad habits.

 

[Easton Thighs]

Nice comfortable relaxing win. I can get used to it. Looking forward to the Footscray match in the morrow.

 

[BrisDog]

Gee that felt like a loss so frustrating

WTF?

 

[Dav1d]

Wright was shite tonight.

Really poor.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Positives: Clay Smith, Wallis best game for months, Jong, Macrae, Bont, Picken, Hunter, Boyd and Red, number of shots on goal. Stevens, Biggs. 3rd on the ladder

Negatives: Stringer, form and injury. Roberts de-list, not even worth trading. Goal kicking. Dickson terrible

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Not scoring at least 20 goals against that mob brings great dishonour to our house.

 

[Braybrook Son]

WTF?

Did you watch the game?

 

[Doggies_13]

Game clear in the top 4
We have saints next week
Cats play crows
Giants play port in Adelaide

As long as we keep doing the job top 4 there to grab,

 

[Wizard17]

Josh Dunkley is going to be a very good player.

 

[spokey]

Yeah suck it Sydney!

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Anyone worried about Stringer?

 

[Astro_]

% is important, but are we realistically any chance of catching the other teams anyway?

Take the win, played well at times.

Keep winning and % doesn't matter
