Autopsy Toothless Bulldogs overcome Norf in a game not for the ages

I can see it!
Winners win and losers piss and moan. Guess which camp North are in (not only the supporter base, even the coach got in on it).
It's always someone else's fault other than the team - usually the umpires.

Its pretty low hanging fruit pointing to Reddit as anything but a cess pool of stupidity.
I presume that there is a Western Bulldogs sub-reddit and that its no better than the norf one.

Just in the way he runs. It's actually uncanny.

Well he incredibly didn’t take a single mark today, when it’s usually a strength, so it’s only upside there.
He doesn’t have to become Dicko as far as set shot kicking goes, but Naughton has shown how much wayward key forwards can improve.
If he puts the kicking and the marking together consistently and ups his second efforts he’ll be a Coleman chance. I mean he might kick 40 this year and he’s looked flat most games.

Impressive. Mostly down back. 12 intercept possessions, 100% TOG.
Un-Lobb like
That 100% TOG has me most impressed. Fair effort from Rory. I’ll be happy to eat my words if he can put a month together like today
I couldn't attend today and watched the game this evening. Yeah it was a bit lack lustre but not as bad as I've read on here. We dominated but didn't capitalise. That's nothing new.
I'm critical of English but didn't think today was that bad. Neither here nor there. Likewise juh dropped a few but wasn't awful. Maybe it's the tv view?
Some positives - Weightman is a gun. Naughton is growing into that connection between the arcs, and then some. Jones is a rock. Bramble becoming a good rebounding defender.
Some negatives - that last 10 mins. Forward 50 entries. Posters.

Rory has always had pretty absurd TOG% for a ruck/forward going back to his time at Freo. He regularly played the entire game when those sorts of players always have rests each quarter.
Key defenders usually spend the whole game on the ground so it’s not that surprising.
Lachlan Smith tackled English on Wed at a sim training match at the WO. He looks pretty good the way he is developing.
Freijah is proving to be a better pick than Sanders atm. And Sanders is looking ok. For an 18 year old he is gold. Gallagher is not bad either. So these three picks have been excellent. Kudos to the recruiters.

After this week, the Flu Game and being sick in the lead up to the Pies game, I think we need to have Bont only train half the amount of the other guys
What back injury
What back injury
Was it Richards that did the basketball dribble instead of grabbing it?

Bont should never train during the week if he comes out and plays like that.

And it will stay that way if he keeps milking fee kicks.
What's his ceiling for goals by the time his career has finished?
10 more season at least without any major injuries.
Milne finished on 574 goals, is it too much to think he could get to 600 goals?

Question: if Bont hadn’t been able to play would we still have beaten North?
Couldn’t help but poke my head in the door over there and share a few thoughts

JUH put himself in a position enough times but just couldn't close the deal. Just had an off day ... like Biden. It happens. Next week he might hold onto everything.
The whole team looked like they were carrying a few cobwebs. Norf gave us a reminder that you don't have to be far off to be at risk against any team. I'll take that reminder and the 4 points.
We look close to finding our best team and combination. One, maybe 2 spots up for grabs but that's it.

It was Dale, beautiful move and would have been close to goal of the year if he could’ve converted we he got the handball receive back.
