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

[ExRoyboy]

It’s only the goal kicking accuracy that is keeping this a game. We should be almost 10 goals in front. The misses have not been difficult shots at goal really.

35 inside 50’s to 17
19 scoring shots to 6
26 clearances to 14
191 disposals to 148
40 intercepts to 32

This should be a smashing really and we only have ourselves to blame. So damn frustrating.

Even last week despite how well we played again we let Sydney off the hook with our inaccuracy as well.

Fast handball game has come to a stop and they’re coming hard now closing the space

Its still there, but execution is harder under pressure.

If we had kicked straight even just from the easy set shots, we would be 6 goals in front instead of 3.

Honestly, I hope melbourne comes hard at us as they can, it will be better for the team to grind out a win rather than waltz over them. If we start kicking straight, we should outscore them in the final 2 quarters.

Buku has been very poor. We’re going to have to choose between him or Coffield. JOD could be wildcard addition for either too.

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.

Guess we won’t be hearing your rant about the game day thread tonight, that’s a shame.

 

[JohnnySteel]

The game needs more of Westy.

Melbourne win confirmed

Why the **** am I like this?

 

[lachy]

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

JOD, Buss or Freijah for both

being inaccurate is one thing. Them kicking so straight is a real kick in the guts.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Smashing them. Just need to kick straight. Bont unbelievable.

 

[Dazb86]

Obviously we need to ****ing convert.

We should be 7ish goals up easily.

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

Poulter would be a star if he didn't have the rate combination (at AFL level at least) of being a bit soft and also losing concentration.

If you watch closely after he does something with the ball, he could be marginally better at taking a hit as he moves the ball, or blocking/working hard once he gets rid of it rather than just thinking his involvement is done.

Shame because he has more talent and physical attributes than many others we've played on the wing this season.

Don't you have friends to talk to about the footy?

Take coffield or buku off and bring Caleb on

Still only 21 with 26 games to his name. Plenty of improvement to come.

Intensity is fine. Goal kicking is not and a few fringe players playing like fringe players not role players

Great chance to reset now. Change the mindset from self-doubt to confidence. Will only take a few conversions in a row to permeate through the team and we’ll be on our way.
