Unofficial Preview Preseason game - Western Bulldogs v Brisbane Lions, Friday 4 March, 7:20 PM @ Marvel Stadium

[Big Sauce 21]

Poor forward pressure and slow when the ball hits the deck.

 

[Nunez]

Need to do much better in the contest, and need to do much, much better in stopping the Dogs just shredding us in defensive transition.

Yeah mids haven't left first gear yet.

 

[pulpdriver]

Good contest so far. Could do with a lift from a few guys in the midfield and need to address how easily Dogs are able to rebound it from our forward line. Have held up well with defence when they have gone inside 50 but some more pressure up the field goes a long way.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Liking Cocky so far.

 

[lionshine]

Madden is fast fast

 

[pulpdriver]

Madden is fast fast

Tidy up the kicking and he'll be a very dangerous and damaging player.

 

[lionshine]

Liking Cocky so far.

Agreed. Smart player when he gets involved more. Kiddy has an uncanny ability to win the footy and find space in the backline under heavy pressure.

 

[Section 5]

Fullarton replacing Gardiner. So looks like defense is where he will be in 2022
Answerth again starting on wing. Berry the other starting wing
McCluggage starting midfield in place of Zorko but will go back to wing season propper
Dev going okay for Rayner replacement
Coleman going well
Good game so far.

 

[chopperduck]

Need better tackling. Dogs out numbering us around the contest, winning the ball when it pops out then using the legs to run and break away.

Need to control the ball a bit better, tackle and kill the ball more and just get to work around the ball. No easy clean break away clearances for us.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Weightman gonna Weightman.

 

[Nunez]

Weightman faked for a free?! No way!

 

[twhowler]

Pretty lacklustre. Might be fair enough given situation in seq and a praccy game.


Mids well down. Devrob looks really good when involved but still low possessions. Second to the ball a bit?

Fort is quite mobile but almost looks a bit skinny? Not a heap of marking presence.

Hard to tell not at the ground but backline seems to be preventing a bigger score. We are a lot faster there then we used to be and it is means no easy groundballs / players cutting off leads.

Gee McStay will be important this year without hippy to start with. Pretty good these days dan. I used to think he had to go in the backline haha.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Nakia! That is why he is so dangerous!

 

[MiguelM]

Weightman faked for a free?! No way!

& umps get sucked in every time!

 

[Jivlain]

 

[Nunez]

Can't wait to see what Cockatoo and Rayner can so together

 

[iBeng]

Got my stream working, yay!

RICH GOES BANG!

 

[Jivlain]

Ah Richy

 

[Hollow Knight]

Will never get bored of Richy drilling then from 55.

 

[Nunez]

When Hipwood is back and our mids are on we will be very, very hard to stop.

 

[DashinD]

The Dublin Dasher is the worst ****ing thing I’ve ever heard. Let’s hope that doesn’t catch on.

 

[LionCub29]

Weightman faked for a free?! No way!

His father was one of the great stagers, it’s a genetic thing.

Dogs look like the humidity might be getting to them.

Early days but I am not a Darcy Fort fan.

Extremely vanilla.
