Review Dogs smash Eagles by 101 points

[jdz101]

English looked great but not going to read too much into this game...his opponents were nowhere near VFL standard. Let alone AFL.

Young Jamieson for the eagles had absolutely no idea what he was doing. I felt for him. He was very much drowning in the deep end.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Gee we've missed English these last 5 games

 

[perro_loco]

That was just beautiful. Smashing those flogs in their home ground. But I really like were the lesser players in McNeil, Sweet, West (is getting better each game) and McCoom-ba man!!! Love this guy. Goes hard at the ball, improves each week and kicks goals. He created a couple of goals, his kicking is getting better. Henceforth, McComb will now be called the Macumba man. Magic that is there but not seen until it hits you. GRET WIN AND GOD DOGS!!!

 

[ossie_21]

Buku only played 64% game time again, I think Jamarra has to take his spot next week

As much as that could be expected, Schache in to make Stewart accountable seems more likely

 

[Substance]

We smashed them last year too. 6.7.43 - 13.20.98.

That could have easily been 90+

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Doesn’t look like I missed much.

 

[Dogs Rule]

That was fun.

Timmy - unreal. Loved Westy's game and Williams was a standout as well. Naughton was on fire. Dunkley, Treloar and Bont all very solid - it was a complete team effort.

The Eagles. It was genuine witches hat stuff tonight - something is very very broken there. However, I still have childhood flashbacks to the flogging they gave us in '91 when Sumich kicked 13 so bugger them.

Tim English has turned into a star ruck before our eyes. He looked incredible live at the ground and was so clean, glided around the ground contest to contest and was fantastic in the air and in the hitouts. He is right at the top of the list of best young Rucks in the league now and not many you would take in front of him.

Weightman's hands are ridiculous, a natural forward who times his jumps to perfection, chases as hard as anyone in the comp and always puts himself in a dangerous position.

So satisfying smashing these pricks by 100+ after all of the crap I have copped here over the years.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Was at the game so need to watch the replay.

Also grain of salt etc given the result.

But seems like Williams on a wing is gaining momentum?

Building confidence around goals each week

 

[dogwatch]

It's been a good while coming, but West looks to have secured his spot. And probably McNeil too.
Amazing what a bit of continuity does for a marginal player. They are getting better game by game.

Williams' change of position seems to have rescued his season. He was among our best again.

Will Schache make Stewart accountsble

Weightman has incredible hands doesn’t he, pound for pound with Naughty he’d go close, they just stick every time

 

[threenewpadlocks]

How funny was both of Keath's goals. A run up the middle involving a give and go, and then a push off turn follow up, and then a 100m penalty. Just pure comedy

Great leap also, sticks tackles and never ending fwd pressure. I remember being disappointed missing out on Kozzy Pickett just before we nabbed Cody, I'm obviously biased but I wouldn't swap the two now if I had the chance.

 

[WAbulldog]

So who won between Darling and Keath?

 

[ReservoirDog]

I guess we went alright.

 

[Brian Perrin]

Shame we need to fit Baz into that line up next week

Moving Bailey Williams to the wing really assisted his confidence and I am delighted that he is playing so very well again .

He is so damaging with ball in hand when on song. We have the best HBFs in the League - can afford to play one on the wing

English has unbelievable skill and touch for a big bloke as well as vision and awareness that half the midfielders in the comp would give their right nut for.

Clearly today wasn't a real test given the opposition. Bit of a track gallop with a solid last 600 before race day next week. Good to have him back but not looking forward the vet bill.

Can't disagree with much of that although there are still a few to come back eventually/possibly (Hunter, JJ etc). Looking forward to the 'who do you leave out' selection headaches.

 

[Bazza Bulldog]

Whilst I like Vanders, I think West has him for footy smarts. He might have just jumped the queue for that pressure forward spot.
McNeil is good overhead as well.
Looking forward to the Cats next week. Big test to see where we are at.

 

[Munnez]

The Eagles play finals virtually every season and are usually contending for the premiership when they do.


I don’t have a problem with West Coast but I’m pretty sure their fans will cope.

All that sustained success caught up with them and they now need to regenerate. You just know with the resources available to them that they will for sure, they have to take lumps for now but they will contend again down the track

 

[Munnez]

Kozzie is a good player as well but isn't the aerial threat that Cody is , so tend to agree wouldn't swap them if we had our time again and could reverse the picks

English is now competent in the ruck contests but his athleticism is just insane. He is such a weapon as he is playing as an additional mid who takes marks, a goal threat and has great skills. if this form continues he is a game changer. As mention earlier this does cause a 2nd ruck issue. English needs to play 80%ruck and 20% rest on bench. Hopefully Bruce can come in and provide relief or even TOB. Schache is the other option for me in front of Cordy.

Bont is looking like he is moving better and may soon be over his ankle.

West is definitely ahead of Scott, Vanders, McComb and McNeil. The guy is a contested beast and his skills are far much better than I thought. Has great vision, hands are elite. The guy will be a great inside mid in a year or 2. Let’s hope Bevo’s treatment of him in favouring players so much inferior will not lead him to leave us. The kid will play 250 plus games.
