Game Day Rd 21: Footscray Bulldogs v Melbourne Demons, Marvel Stadium, 7:15pm Friday, 2 August 2024

[MaxiBont]

Really happy with the way we are playing bar goal kicking obviously.

Been all over them, should be up by 30-40. Keep playing like we have and we win easily.

Defence only giving up 6 scoring shots in a half is great, they’re just converting every chance they get.

 

[Angak]

English may miss some time from that tackle

Why? He wasn't concussed

 

[Al dente]

Coffield so average, average kick at best, mid paced, mid height, average decision maker. surely Freijah is better

 

[_Mike_]

That's fine, but we should still by up by six or seven goals. The goal kicking is the only reason they're as close as they are.

Close down the space, choke the fast moving handball opportunities and force set shots. Stop the running goals .That’s what Melbourne did that quarter

 

[Anja_Nees]

Who in the best 22 is a reliable shot for goal? I would have said Weightman, but not lately.

Naughton is actually ok now, but doesn’t get as many shots as he used to.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Quite sad that we are going to lose this. Watch them run out of steam in the second half.

 

[MaxiBont]

Coffield so average, average kick at best, mid paced, mid height, average decision maker. surely Freijah is better

Coffield and Buku aren’t needed in the same team. Freijah should come in for one.

 

[TiAn_]

We know Melbourne has been a team that has caused grief over the last decade, not unexpected that they’d have a crack IMO. Don’t think the panic stations are warranted right now

We’re going to win this, but if we happen to make the finals the team can’t afford to do this. It’s happening nearly every week now.

 

[dergert]

Buku having a stinker.

More Garcia in the midfield please

 

[threenewpadlocks]

I'd much rather be up by 18 having kicked 13 more scores than having kicked 3 more goals, even if the goalkicking is frustrating

 

[DognBones]

That was a most frustrating 2nd quarter. Back to the old wasteful Bulldogs. The Lobb, Coffield, Buku combination isn't working very well either. Failing to kill high balls and not very agile at ground level. Need to start converting or this could get more frustrating.

 

[4Seasons]

lol 50m my ass

The funny part is how much we cry about Sydney complaining about the umpires, yet we are ten times worse.
Some even exclusively talk about the umpires lmfao.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Johnno coming in once per fortnight is more likely to confuse them more then help them with goalkicking

 

[hutchy31]

This is so ****ing tiring. Just kick vaguely straight ffs.

Jamarra has been playing well recently, but those two set shot misses were atrocious. Absolutely atrocious.

We’re thumping them, should be 7-8 goals up. Just hope they pick it up conversion-wise in the second half, otherwise this’ll be a loss for the ages.

 

[JTCWBFC]

We’re going to win this, but if we happen to make the finals the team can’t afford to do this. It’s happening nearly every week now.

It cost us a final in 2015 and still hasn’t been fixed

 

[Dogs Rule]

Close down the space, choke the fast moving handball opportunities and force set shots. That’s what Melbourne did that quarter

May has gone down, so just kick it long and get it in there fast and over and over again. Repeat entries and knacker them.

 

[gordo2016]

I am going to jump off my balcony if we lose this. This inaccuracy has cooked me.

 

[dergert]

Jamarra and Naughton are struggling to kick the score. It's time for Darcy to stand up

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

 

[Mr. Walker]

Khamis refuses to man up. If you are not taking intercept marks at least defend.
Coffield refuses not to slip over. JOD please.
The Bont refuses to be anyone but the Bont

 

[House_of_Dahl]

We are dominating play overall. I'd prefer better conversion but we should be fine if this continues.

 

[Selim]

got a stinking feeling we are losing this 5 day break and bad kicking gonna kick us

 

[JohnnySteel]

Poulter racking it up.
13 touches and 6 tackles off the wing!

Yep, they need to expose that weakness in the 3rd

Yep I’m on the fence with him aswell
