Game Day Dogs v Suns @ the Rat

[Doggies_13]

Solid second quarter when we slowed it down a bit and controlled the tempo. Backline has been very solid especially given we have had to restructure.

Naughton and JUH have both been well beaten so far.

A strong third quarter can put this game to bed if we add 4-5 goals to our lead

 

[Whoyagot]

gotta be happy with that first half overall. Gee English needs to take control around the ground this quarter because he's getting manhandled by a first gamer.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Great start but we did get out worked that quarter. Hope we don’t think the wind will do it for us next quarter.

A few annoying fumbles, silly frees and poor kicks from some senior players, but also a great quarter by Buku and Darcy.

 

[ScragCity]

If we don't extend our lead a bit this quarter we are done

 

[dergert]

Oh boy our forward line bar Weightman are letting us down today.

Darcy has doubled the output of Lobb so far.

Gallagher is showing signs of why the club rate him.

 

[Al dente]

Any chance English not letting the opposition ruck grab it deep inside defensive 50?

 

[ExRoyboy]

Really good quarter to hold them to only 3 goals. They were always going to get a few so limiting them to 3 was great. Plus we got one ourselves and could have been 2, unlucky for Sanders hitting the post.

Loved the desperation from Poulter to touch that one on the line. All the guys are having a crack so love the effort from them so far. Darcy is huge, he must stay in the team from now on.

Khamis has been great down back and Caleb proving again why he should never have been the sub last week. Let’s get them again in this quarter and then defend hard in the last.

 

[Ted's Robot]

Just replayed kick to gags, easily 15 metres. Umps just guess half the time.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

AA ruck getting towelled up by a first gamer. How often have we seen that?

He just has zero competitive spirit in him. It’s amazing he’s got as far as he has in his career. He looks as though he just wants to get home and rug up with a good book.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Neither of Naughton and JUH have had much of a sniff.

 

[dergert]

English getting thrown under the ball by Moyle that quarter was infuriating

 

[Bonty4]

Khamis’ lack of height is really hurting his game today.

Clueless

 

[Chicago1]

We did what we had to do in that quarter. I hope the same team will show up after halftime.

Buku been very good still think he’s a third tall, bring a JOD or Keath in next week and move Buku to the Coffield role.

 

[SackofTaters]

Darcy should not be in the VFL ever again.... English is actually being slaughtered in a Contract year, not a smart play.

Gags is showing a lot, good on the kid..

 

[doggies ftw]

This game is a good example of why Naughtys still king of the fwd line, both Marra and him have been well beaten but Naughty still offers something, his ground level game been really strong whilst Marra is a bit invisible.

Need one or both to step up this qtr

 

[Leon]

How much of a difference does Darcy make?

 

[TheBont]

What exactly is Naughton being back going to do for us this quarter? Besides leave us down a KPF for a quarter?

He wouldn’t have prevented any of Gc’s goals.

What exactly is he doing in the forward line besides clogging it up?

 

[dergert]

We need JOD back ASAP, or okay Keath. Buku needs to be released to fly for grabs and support the defence.

How good would it be to have another small forward alongside Weightman?

 

[Dogsman16]

Naughton had a good first qtr, went missing that one (if there ever was a qtr for him to play defence that was it)

Jamarra been well beaten. Hency why he needs Naughton support up forward.

Would love Marra to stop trying to break tackles. He gets into trouble every time.

 

[doggies ftw]

Macrae up to 37 touches 14 clearances early in the last lol, that 25 clearance stat from last week might have been true after all

 

[Thunderoad]

Clueless

Sarcasm

Yeah it’s not really working for him yet is it, although I don’t mind him backing himself - at his peak in 5 years he’s going to be running straight through those tackles. Agree at the moment though he should probably reign it in and play percentages

 

[ringa5]

Hope the forward coach is in Naughton and Jamarras head.And saying get the F in front of Collins.Lead don't follow
