Game Day Round 5 - Western Bulldogs v Essendon, Marvel Stadium, Friday 12/4/24, 7.40pm AEST

[TheUnicorn]

Jonathan Brown being the first guy to correctly understand the edge is something I didn't expect

What he say

 

[brutus76]

Can we please see a 4 quarter effort

Last week ONE QUARTER effort

I'd hate to see a second half fade away here

 

[Call Me Cake]

Playing well so far. Just being able to do that for more than a first quarter is an improvement on the Port game. Regardless of a win or loss I feel like the majority of us can stomach a loss if effort and grit is shown, makes for better viewing too.

Jonathan Brown being the first guy to correctly understand the edge is something I didn't expect

He knows brad well, I wouldn't even be surprised if he's spoken with him about it and what he's trying to to achieve by putting it out there.


Or.... Someone says it every time they speak about us and he stumbled into it. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[DERO]

Not against us all that often.

When it happens I am going to blame you.

 

[Pweter]

Stop Bont you stop Dogs.

Limiting Libba's influence hurts them too. Means Bont has to find his own ball in heavy traffic and guys like Treloar don't get easy touches on the spread

 

[ant555]

Heppell needs to be subbed out. Sorry. He is becoming a liability.

Who is our sub?

Would not mind if you where subbed out.

 

[Chief Hopper]

8 points up at half time. This is good. This is good.

Geeze need to find a way to block out Matthew Richardsons moaning football commentary. Can he be anymore doom and gloom about the Dons?

treloar was also kind of unsighted after zach run him down

 

[andleanback]

Parish does not look fit.

some people here are far more doom & gloom than him

 

[Pweter]

Heppell needs to be subbed out. Sorry. He is becoming a liability.

Who is our sub?

He's been annoyingly ok I think

 

[ghostdog]

Duz and Calders both having huge games. Merrett a clear beneficiary. Parish could get more involved and a bit cleaner when he does.

Good to see Goldy and Draper a bit more focused as well.

My boy Redders being totally stitched up having to mind a 9 foot bloke though.

 

[boncer34]

Aged poorly

 

[Old Campaigner]

Would not mind if you where subbed out.

It's pretty easy

 

[Call Me Cake]

Would not mind if you where subbed out.

Edgy.

What he say

Basically credited our work at the coal face in coming back is due to the edge.

 

[Cold Sober]

Goldy has been gold.
The second half is defining for us.
Always think the bouce changes, first half not our way but, lets hope.

 

[ghostdog]

That’s a pathetic effort from davey


s**t handball and a s**t tackle attempt.

We are going nowhere if we turn it over that easy

It was a shit handball and he didn't make the tackle, okay. But did you notice that after he f***** up he chased hard the other way? How often do we see that from the best 22. I can cop the occasional missed disposal if working hard the other way like that is consistent.

 

[Chief Hopper]

He's been annoyingly ok I think

Yeah Hepps been good.
Our def is holding up alright, so far, against the tall timber WB. Can see why though we are persisting with Zach Reid.

 

[beev]

Parish does not look fit.

Can’t cover the ground.

Hasn’t been able to for a few seasons now.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I still don't think we'll win but if we can stay with them and not lose by too much that's probably as good as a win

 

[Cold Sober]

Ps. Hepps is more than holding his own.

 

[eth-dog]

Heppell has had some decent moments but some horrible ones too.

 

[Chief Hopper]

Goldy has been gold.

Ruck work by Goldie and Draper deffo looks way better than last week. So good having Goldie in the team.
