Game Day Round 3, 2023 - Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Lions

[Gadzorks]

The roar deal guys talked about us being a team that needs emotion to play well.

So come visit me during the week boys, I've got plenty of emotion and I'm stocking up on a mother load tonight.

Our forwards suck at kicking goals (excluding Charlie).

 

[pOleK]

Well with the dogs staring down 0-3, as well as their ins, was always expecting them to come out firing. I know we’re 2.7 but a lot of our set shots haven’t exactly been easy (50m+ out, from the boundary). Think we’ll come out a different side in the second half

Daniher and Hipwood in the same team doesn't work.

It works fine if Daniher kicked straight and Hipwood played like a gun instead of being worried and defensive.

 

[CarterS]

Ground in horrible condition.

 

[Berrygood]

Does anyone remember the Stretch Armstrong toys? Do you remember how they look when they're all stretched out n busted?

Now imagine a Stretch Armstrong toy in the image of Mark "Jacko" Jackson being all stretched out n busted. Looks just like Rory Lobb

It's only errors and poor shooting that's costing us. Doggies look like they want it more. Can't let them get a roll on, gotta take the wind out of their sails. We are showing good intent to move the ball.

Tidy up the errors, get some hunger and we'll be right. I still think we can win it.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Daniher and Hipwood in the same team doesn't work.

We would have exited the finals in straight sets without those 2 last year.

 

[Nunez]

The 'we need emotion' argument is simply false tonight. We are literally running harder defensively than they are. The issue is skill and turnover. The data backs that up.

We fix that and we will win. Have faith fam.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

What's happened to Hipwood for you guys? Looks like a half-reasonable VFL player at the moment.

He wouldn’t get a game in the VFL. He’ll take a contested mark at the 25 min of the last quarter and people will say he’s it and a bit. Unfortunately he’s untradeable. He seems like a nice dude, but at what point do you drop him?

 

[Squizz89]

This is a good challenge for us . We're all fit and well.

They've come out with real intent and incentive tonight.

If we're any good we'll overrun them.

Problem with Hipwood is he’s never been able to mark above his head and he gets outbodied by opponents half his size.

I think coming back from the knee has also taken away some of his athleticism which is one thing he did have on his opponents.

He had a bit of a purple patch in the finals series last year and we all thought he’d turned the corner, but you’re right he’s been pretty average so far this year.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

I liked that Joyce flew the flag for Rayner after he got hit high in the second.

Even when Gardiner becomes available again he deserves to stay in this team based on his form so far.

Turning circle of a roadtrain. Opponent is 20m away by the time he changes direction

 

[25 years on]

It’s very frustrating watching us playing total different game from last week

Yeh this. Gotta tidy that disposal. It's not that we don't get it enough.

 

[luthor]

We would have exited the finals in straight sets without those 2 last year.

True but this is this year and Hippy is pretty much a passenger at present.

I wouldn't rule out bringing in Lohmann for Eric unless he can turn it around this half

This ground is such a craphole

It’s lack of effort effecting skill though. Lazy disposals and those Up the field not working hard enough. Not working hard enough out of congestion to get an unpressured kick, etc.

 

[Sproj]

It is interesting because some guys are playing pretty well but there are more than a few having shockers and in a team game, that hurts.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

what the hell is this umpiring.

so deflating

 

[Sherrinator]

Holy Christ

 

[alscotoz2]

Daniher has to give us more

 

[Sproj]

Haha holding the ball? Come on.

 

[Elixuh]

Oh my god

 

[dlanod]

Well we didn't get new umpires if it's a free kick against us because a Dogs player is holding the ball to the ground before we get there.

Maybe bring in someone playing half decently in the reserves?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Arms being held all over the place. Ludicrous umpiring.
