Autopsy RD 22 - Exposed by the Crows

[MaxiBont]

Dees made us look better than we are last week. We got lucky with a few goals that bounced right, dees failed to touch.
Had no luck today and nothing from vdm, cody, west. Darcy lost confidence after all those points. Lost naughton. Of course we faced the Crows best side all year. While everyone will say how good the hawks went, the blues lost Charlie and others during the game. Sometimes things just go your way.

We absolutely smashed the Dees last week.

That’s why this result is even more frustrating, we had one of best run in years and we go and **** it up with a beyond awful performance

 

[iambrilliant]

Desperately need an upgrade on Buku and Coffield

Buss can't possibly be less ready than them

Feel like Coffield is building he’s way into it. Buku needs to make way tho

 

[theAthenian]

I hope north pants us - i dont want this coaching grp to ever taste success again !
DISGRACEFUL how can anyone justify professional athletes serving this shit up time and time again
Its time to start thinking of the future without this coaching grp and Bevo

 

[glenashley]

Still on track for my premonition of finishing 6th and winning the gf

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

The cycle of Bevo continues

 

[iambrilliant]

Any votes for Marcus ?

 

[Werewolf]

Just as well I won't attend any more games this year... 0/4

 

[wayniac]

Vandermeer is no good Buku is no good Garcia is no good Coffield is no good

You can add Richards and Dale on today's performance.

 

[Doggy]

Every single result went against us... including our own.

If we manage to sneak in we will probably get hawthorn, that will go well for all those that wanted them to keep winning

Was Johnno a goal kicking specialist with any club? (Outside of his playing days)

He has done some coaching at the AFL academy and did a short stint as a specialist coach at Geelong, so probably a little. Don't think they ever defined his role

 

[DoggieStyle07]

0/3 at Adelaide Oval for the season might be our finals spot

 

[c0de_crow]

Bad kicking is bad footy.
But really crows were much the better side today, destroyed our midfield and made the most of Fogarty against buku.

looked pretty good whilst he was on though. Definitely stood out.

Richards, libba, Naughton, west, weightman all didn't turn up today

No but why have we employed a part time kicking coach. Because our senior forward coach has no idea and that has been the case since he has had that role

 

[Bulldogs85]

Every time I get my hopes up with this club they pull out a performance like that.

 

[Contador]

Are other top 8 sides as brittle as this? I wouldn't think so.

Except for literally every other top 8 team this season..

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Time to swap Khamis out for Keath or oDonnell?

Whenever we lose hes too isolated and isn’t strong enough to win or neutralise the contest.

 

[Claudonious]

Nothing is more predictable than the Dogs folding up like a cheap deck chair when there’s pressure to perform.

So there was no pressure to perform in the last month? History says we never beat the crows on their deck.

Disappointing performance, but we won our last 4 under huge pressure.

Crows had nothing to lose, and Fogarty had a blinder.

Lucky for us we get to play gather round there every year!!

 

[TheScriptorWL]

That was Dire! Top 4 has left us in the dust and I can't back us against a newly competitive Roos outfit.

A few thoughts

1.Changes should have been made from the end of the first. Buku needed to get moved much sooner, Fogarty made him look like a wondering child. Naughton was the replacement, he could kick and scream about it but that was what we needed to do.

2. If this team cannot tackle, we cannot win. Our highly contested stoppage style requires it and the crows knew that from the get go making us play individually, instead of that surging pack handball we all know.

3. Everyone was Average today. but we looked worse because of a Roided up Crows outfit playing their granny.

4. Vandermeer is less than shit. Can we as a club remove the grip he has on the selection panel's balls.

5. What is with Adelaide sides and sucking the talent and decision making out of our midfield?

 

[Bald]

27 shots on goal for 9 goals is something else.

Oh well, onto next week.

 

[Hutchymundo]

From last week genuinely thinking we could actually win it all, to now sitting here thinking we will miss the 8, f*** this season, you just new it would happen.

 

[Leon]

What a shitshow.

Ticks every marker for the usual Bulldogs poor performance.

- Not switched on from the get go

- Atrocious goal kicking

- Missed tackles

- Opposition afforded ridiculous amount of space

- Key players having stinkers

- English monstered in the ruck



Really thought we had turned the corner over the past month.

Have we still? Was that just an aberration?

Geez I’m annoyed.

That was so, so bad.

middle of the road side in a weak year. the last 4 weeks were good but most teams we played were out of form.

to dish up that first quarter pressure rating with so much on the line sums it up. Adelaide at home when theyre on are a 5-8 side and they showed us up.
we may sneak in this year but thats about all.
i look forward to the new ways we'll manage to shoot ourselves in the foot in 2025
