Autopsy Rolled over to Freo after leading by 41 at qtr time, what's wrong @ the kennel?

[dogz]

Didn’t see any disappointment from the lads when they were shaking hands with the opposition at the end. Naughton had some chats so all good.
McLean and dunks the only two looking gutted

 

[Erect]

Bevo talked up 'belief' during the week. We acted like we were 10 goals down whilst we still had the lead, and then completely gave up when 1 goal behind. Just a pathetic display.

We were so focused and intense until Freo kicked their first goal and most of our team just dropped their head like we've lost the game

 

[mambavino]

This was so bloody predictable. Bevo just doesn’t have the game day skills to make the required tactical changes when a team alters their game plan and fights back. Combined with a playing group that is also clearly a bit fragile, we have an inability to wrestle back momentum in games like this.

 

[StringyDog]

Same thing over and over again, can't hold momentum, can't maintain pressure and no connection to forwards.
Dunkley is gonna be a huge loss if he leaves with our defenceless other midfielders.
Selection joke, how can West sign a contract watching Vandermeer getting selected ahead of him.

 

[doggies ftw]

We are so shit we’ve genuinely managed to turn an A list team into a bunch of ****ing ******s

 

[wian]

No chance that’s true friend. Heat of the moment call.

To be 40 points up and lose is pretty close mate.

 

[wayniac]

Bont, Dunkley, Cordy and Daniel get pass marks. That's about it.

And Toby.

 

[hutchy31]

They’re weak as piss. A forward line full of first rounders can’t take a mark or make a ****ing contest. Defenders who can’t avoid insane turnovers. A coaching panel who are way off the standard required, while they pick ludicrously under qualified players.

Genuinely embarrrassed to support this team

This. Just this. 100% this.

And I’ll be voting with my money if there isn’t significant change. To be 42-2 up and lose 73-60 is genuinely atrocious. It’s an embarrassment to a club that should stand for more than that.

 

[Bulldogs85]

What kind of shit would Bevo spew out of his mouth

 

[bresker]

Let’s be honest the only reason we got so far ahead was because Freo were more nervous than a Mormon bride on the first night of her honeymoon.

Once they emptied their bowels, sucked on a Bex and drank a long cool glass of calm the heck down it was all one way traffic.

. For an 18 - 22 player he’s great .

At least he can take a mark unlike the rest of those high draft pick overpaid **** knockers.

So much bad I can’t even begin to explain it

 

[Werewolf]

Worst finals loss in out history.

Hang your heads in shame.

FN abysmal

[Igloo]

Please Dunkley. Please don't leave. We'll be even more cooked than we already are.

 

[hutchy31]

What kind of s**t would Bevo spew out of his mouth

I’ll break my phone/tv/device if I hear another word out of his mouth this year unless it’s to tell us he’s resigning.

 

[Astro_]

Give Dunkley the money he wants. He has earned it

 

[Doggies_13]

Naughton, JUH and Darcy invisible up forward.

VDM not up to it.

English couldn’t win a hit out or compete against a blow up doll.

Bont and Dunkley were massive.

McLean ran out of fitness but showed his value.

So many holes in this team.

Genuinely concerned about the mental fragility of this team.

 

[Sentinel]

As much as I love Bont playing for the club he's not leadership material which the same can be said for most of them. They lack that hard nosed player who can pull up and rally the team when things start getting tough.

Currently it's non existent.

Agree, the lack of on-field leadership tonight was telling. Bont leads terrifically by example but isn't a 'General' type like a Hodge or Selwood.

 

[Jeff 1975]

You can only fill over the cracks for so long

We need leg speed, marking power and a tap Ruckmen

 

[Some Idiot]

I've been a supporter but Vandermeer was really poor.

giving up a chase with a minute to play.
Just a shocking 3 quarters after a good start

 

[SackofTaters]

The absence of Libba really highlighted our lack of midfield depth..

How the MC thought we could cover this by not putting in a like for like player ( ie West ) is beyond me.

The MC needs the biggest rocket of all time, North Korea style.

[GreatSouthWest]

Decades of watching football, and I'm still genuinely at a loss to know how you can go from being 7 goals up, dominating, and having the opposition goalless with 4mins left, to becoming overtly bipolar. How in fks name do you drop 11 of the next 13 goals?

This has been an embarrassment of 2021 GF proportions. This is such a Bulldogs thing to do. We'll never be powerhouse club.

Laitham VDM can piss off and never play again. He's a park footballer.

This is nothing more than a middle of the road year.

 

[JTCWBFC]

To have change you need heat from above.

Our board and president are silent.

They won’t do shit.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Fairly predictable result really. Freo couldn't have played much worse for that first quarter and a half. As soon as they got going they showed us why we didn't belong in the finals.

This is it really. They had stage fright and weren’t playing their brand - which beats ours atm. When they did pull out the finger they controlled us.

 

[Walsh Bay]

I'm sick of hearing every week how great the Dogs' midfield is.

Pfft..
Bont, Libba, Dunkley.

After that it falls away badly.

What a dismal season.

After all that, no All-Aus players, one Rising Star, and we'll be nowhere on Brownlow Night. Our list is tired, unfit, banged up and needs rejuvenation.

And not of O'Brien/McComb/Martin/Hannan kind.

 

[Al dente]

we kept reliving that grandfinal capitulation all year, then ultimately repeated it at the same venue,

obviously didnt review/deal with it properly
