Preview Round 8, 2024 : Bulldogs v Hawks, 4pm 5th May, Marvel Stadium

[Bugs1977]

Yes, I’d imagine the club will have some better access to the footage.

There will be behind the goal footage at the very least.

If we don't challenge then that will tell that it's higher than it looked on that fuzzy footage.

 

[Philhawk]

Chol suspended.

No Lewis or Chol.

 

[Paul Kersey]

There must be some behind the goal footage but this is the best I can get from the video on the AFL website video. Filmed on a Nokia 5110 by the look of things

It’s the Hawthorn tax. **** me.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I thought he played pretty well vs the Kangas.. So hes has as many good games as a lot the players this season.

Id keep him in for another week.

Tough job playing in that fwd line with our snail paced ball movement, especially when you're not a contested marker.

We need to HIT Ramma on the chest via a lead. Play to his strengths!

 

[Adebisi]

Problem is now it looks like he has lost distance with his kicks and losing his technique trying to make up for it. Breust is the same. Both were so reliable from 35-50 but now I am surprised if they do kick it

Quite an astute observation. I thought the same watching Gunners taking his set shots.

100%.. same with gunners. Most of our fwds are at their best when leading up into space at the ball... Happens maybe once or twice a game at the moment.

Yes it definitely looked like he was stretched for distance even though he was inside 50

 

[Stottzy]

Looking at Chol's "punch", it surely is going to be challenged and downgraded.

 

[Adebisi]

He can kick the distance, but he looks like he is trying to kick the cover off it to get there.

 

[Adebisi]

Everyone needs to realise that with no key talls, the rest of the forwards suffer.
Chol was never supposed to be the key forward 1 target.
The smalls need to have predictability and know where the ball is going. Hard with no central target and terrible ball use inside 50.

 

[TheFourPillars]

He can kick the distance, but he looks like he is trying to kick the cover off it to get there.

I think he thinks he can't make the distance and is extending himself. Could be what you say but you don't see him do that at training. He just isn't relaxed and thinks he won't make the distance. I was at the right end of the ground i.e. the punt road end. Maybe i will ask him

Finally someone that gets it. The Chol bashing in here is bloody stupid. His retaliation to Gulden was a brain fart moment I'm sure he'd like to have back but we've had many of our players do worse with our own captain and Frosty to name a few.

 

[PLATTS44]

**** the AFL

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Given they have let several of these off with a fine can't help but think it's the Hawthorn tax again

Agree 100%.

There has been only one game were we have played Chol, Gunston and Lewis in the same forward line and it generated 10 scoring shots vs Essendon which isn't a bad result considering it was the first game all three have ever played together. Pity they kicked 4:6 combined, 7:3 and we may have won the game.

 

[Cleavy]

"as you can clearly see from the footage, Chol pushed some pixels and the pixels cannoned into the Swans' player knocking him off balance." (also he deserved it)

 

[Mrzohs]

Can’t believe how big of an out Mass was yesterday.

I love Mass hard at it, makes good decisions and prepared to get dirty.

I would like to see him moved up around the footy when the time is right.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Not a Chol fan but a one week suspension defies logic. AFL really do hate our club with a passion. Their hates knows no boundaries..

 

[RobHawk]

My god Gulden got up quick when he heard the free kick reversal

 

[Newmo89]

Yes it definitely looked like he was stretched for distance even though he was inside 50

We saw him kick at training a fortnight ago 4P and I reckon he kicked about 6 out of 30 shots or so. His goal kicking seems to be affected by the back and possibly hips as he doesn't have any penetration in his kicking.

Its the ones further out that he was missing

We need to HIT Ramma on the chest via a lead. Play to his strengths!

The only problem is that most of our midfield couldn’t hit the water if they fell out of a boat. Disposal is very ordinary.

 

[Mercy Seat]

We need to HIT Ramma on the chest via a lead. Play to his strengths!

Good defenses don't allow players to casually run up a lead and mark on the chest much these days. Teams have been very often playing a spare against us, and sometimes our hesitation moving it forward from the centre means that these opportunities are few and far between.

 

[blackheart]

Chol 'strike' - someone actually gets paid good money to make these kinds of decisions.
