Game Day Penultimate Rd: Dogs v Hawks in the Apple Isle (14/8)

[Bazzas Lovechild]

Hate to say it but the last two weeks have been nothing short of disgraceful. Unless something rapidly changes we will not win again this year….which is a shocking return from such a positive start.

I wonder what the solution is (obviously we need a proper ruck and need it now! ). Our backline sucks and our forward line is equally vulnerable at times. Sam Darcy could be good but he probably isn’t what we need now. Have to take him though.

 

[StringyDog]

4 of our super 7 midfield Smith, Hunter Treloar and Dunkley have had 17 touches combined in second half, pants pulled down by Hawks second string midfield

 

[Chicago1]

I've seen worse, but not when I've had such high expectations of a Doggies team. I really feel let down after the high hopes we've had all season.

Hope we bounce back next week and don't get embarrassed again.

’s kicking has been absolutely atrocious.

 

[_STREET_]

Top 4 now in doubt

 

[AltonaBoy]

Instead of “Bevos Brief” can we send him our brief on team selections and ruck set ups

 

[Willo90]

remember in the Eagles game when Lingy and BT said we had a tough run home against Ess, haw and PA and we all laughed....oh boy...:S

 

[Bulldogs85]

Well done Bevo ****ing pretender

He's been let down by players.

 

[Maverick Dog]

Clarko makes Bevo look like Auskick coach.

 

[bullruckle81]

I wouldn't recommend sitting next to me at a match but to be fair the last two weeks I've been pretty much spot on.

What’s the saying, even a broken clock. No one wants to hear when your pessimistic predictions came true.

 

[hutchy31]

I can’t believe this has happened today. I mean I know we’re often let down but this plumbs new depths. It’s soul destroying.

Bevo really shouldn’t send out the email/brief after this. There’s nothing to say. Only a big, confident win over Port next week can make up for this.

 

[DognBones]

Mitchell and Wingard have smashed our entire midfield.

 

[Dogs 13]

Even Daniel can't hit a target

 

[Dogsman16]

**** me first time ive switched off prior to the end in some time.

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

The only good part about this performance is that maybe Bevo will realise we must play 2 rucks.

Jordan Sweet step up.

Won’t happen. We can all see it but Bevo seems to not agree

 

[Emacss]

He's been let down by players.

Rubbish.

Part of being a good coach is getting everyone on board. Stop making excuses for him; he's failing as a coach right now. Part of the reason the midfield is struggling is because opposition teams have started working out how to exploit Tim English as the sole ruck.

 

[Oliver G]

Mitchell and Wingard have smashed our entire midfield.

Ceglar's been the one 6 clearances is unforgivable.

 

[Triple Baileys]

Well done Bevo ******* pretender

Is that you, Brendan?

 

[bullruckle81]

If we get touched up next week v Port which is looking likely it’s a massive chance

Not when, as I predict, the Lions lose tonight!!

 

[Dog 36]

We are only 6% ahead of Brisbane

Definately possible but they need to pick up about 12 goals from this point.

They will do it tonight

 

[Scott Tracy]

A finals bye looking like it would actually help us this year. But that won't happen.
All of our losses before these last two were at least some what honourable and we could kinda say we gave it our best.
I really thought it was going to be our year after that Melbourne win, a lot of us did. Such a let down.
Hope we beat Port next week just to have some momentum come the first week.

 

[fred cook]

Bye Ashley Hansen you were a spud forward and nothing as change as a coach

Dont worry he will be replaced by a ex Fremantle or St kilda assistant coach to make sure Bevo has TOTAL control

 

[hutchy31]

I just booed at the tv screen. First time ever.

Think I’ll take a bex and lie down.

Ffs.
