Autopsy Review - Dogs win back to back games to once again become flag favourites

[ScragCity]

LIBBBAAAAAAA

 

[Anja_Nees]

Diabolical run in the second but otherwise we were pretty good.

English was huge. Libba phenomenal early, and Bont was huge late.

Minor redemption for Hannan and McComb late, and Daniel who missed two from within about five metres.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Bevo thanking mother nature for saving his win/loss ledger.

 

[Unnamed1]

Found a way. That second quarter was a nightmare, at least we could steady the ship.

 

[Chicago1]

I'm going to tip against us every week!

Lets be frank.. They are pretty much a bunch of hacks now ... Way past their best and on the downward slope. If we cant beat them now there is absolutely no hope..

The large goal run ons simply has to stop.. It should have cost us the game

I will give them credit for coning out after 1/2 time and not rolling over. However i think if it wasnt wet conditions we wouldnt have won...

Mccomb and Hannhan should never play another game in the 1's again. They cost us bit time

 

[Angak]

Really proud of Treloar.

Playing well but more importantly his body language has been excellent this year.

 

[cherrypie]

2-2. Nothing to see here folks

 

[Pep_x]

Never in doubt...

 

[MaxiBont]

A win's a win at the end of the day don't really care how it comes. 2-2 given our schedule is not bad at all. Hannan and McComb should never see an AFL field again but we all know that they will likely be features in most games this year. Jury still out Bevo, I don't think he still should be coach but if he gets wins hard to sack him. That 2nd half meltdown was directly on not having any counter to what they were doing which is a coaches job. The schedule gets a bit easier if we win the games we should we are looking in a decent place.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

All credit must go to Beveridges masterstroke of shifting Hannan and McComb deep forward.

If he didn't we wouldn't have won. FACT!

Getting McComb as far away from the ball as possible was the right decision

has given us a gun 1 on 1 defender down back missing since Morris retired.

 

[weltschmerz]

Ugly but necessary.

Libba is the most important player on our list.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Honestly, aside from that super hot 15 minute period by the Tigers to close out the second quarter. We controlled the game for a good 60-70% of it. We just cannot seem to make it hurt on the scoreboard enough. Mind you we had a few chances in the second half, I think it was 4.12? But wet weather football is always sloppy.

Great to get the win. Honestly thought we were done for at half time, with the Tigers riding high in confidence, and us looking like the opposite. Obviously not happy with that big run of goals we conceded. But happy with how we came out in the second half and suffocated their running game. They were not able to get the run on as much as they would have liked.

Bont, English and Libba dominated the middle.

Dale and Richards both great off half back. The latter with some key intercepts / marks in the last quarter. Daniel being moved back in the last quarter was a tactical move that paid off. Took some defining marks and helped set up the midfield. A sloppy, but good win. Feels like it has been ages since we last beat them at the G.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Important win and holding our nerve

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Apart from 15 minutes it was a completely dominant performance. 87-39! But once again, not being able to stop momentum and a refusal to address it almost cost us a win. Half time and the rain came at a good time for us.

Dominant performance from the midfield (43-25 in clearances). English, Bont and Libba were massive throughout the game. Richards and Dale were brilliant off half back too. Hannan was excellent in the last after a perplexing first couple of quarters.

A lot of good signs but the bad sign is so glaring and worrying.

 

[Doggies_13]

No confidence in this team unfortunately, still so many issues that haven’t been fixed.

Got the win but still a long way to go and injuries again

[JTCWBFC]

Can we crowdfund a salary for a specialist ‘momentum stopper’ coach

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Ugly but necessary.

Libba is the most important player on our list.

Yeah, as much as I love the guy. English trumps him. English is literally the only player in our side at the moment who can reliably take a contested mark when playing through the midfield and rolling into ever our so shaky defence.

It was no coincidence that Richmond gained their ascendancy in the second when he spent time off the ground.

 

[Goodman Rhodes]

I'm going to take back my other comment about Hannan.. I thought his goal and his effort in the last quarter was good. Mccomb though just isn't up to it. Our defence was great tonight with Dale and Richards and Jones. And Caleb's last quarter was huge! A win is a win I guess but I'd love to see us go on with a game one day instead of those massive drop off's when we get a few goals up. It's just way too predictable.

Richards, Libba, English, Bont, Dale - brilliant.

Yep it was when he came off that we got cleaned up. Wins in the middle now, helps the mids, takes marks and kicks goals.

2nd qtr we had a shocker 10mins. Bevo deserves massive credit for turning it around in the 3rd and 4 qtr's.

It's almost impossible to turn momentum around within qtr's.
