Game Thread - Sydney V Dogs

[Mogg0]

Spot on Bloods, we've little chance of taking contested marks in the forward 50, mainly because the Dogs are flooding back and all our forward options lack height when compared with their opponents.

We need quick movement into the forward line, because that's the ONLY time in that quarter where we appeared damaging.

I'm sorry if half of you, don't have Austar/Foxtel, and therefor my posts are useless, when I was only posting the scores for them earlier!

[NMWBloods]

I don't think there will be a major shift in our game plan in 3rd Q. Knowing Roos he'll go into lock down game trying to score from clearances. I thing we're gone.

It's an interesting stage. If we go into lockdown, which is most likely, you can only imagine it's to stop the run on and hope we snare one or two goals to their nil. I guess that will leave us close for an expected run late in the last quarter. Possible clash of styles in the second half.

Damn!

How about in the back to O'Loughlin and a high tackle to Kirk.

The umps are Bullfrogs supporters all of a sudden.

That was more arse than class!

Kick straight why don't you, you mongrel.

O'Loughlin wouldn't have scored a goal from a free in any case.

Another Bullfrogs player going to kick straight.

I think the comments were not referring to all of your posts, but to this series of posts which were difficult to follow if you have no visuals.

Analyse the game mate, give it a rest with the misguided observations.

Roosy needs to get the boys to break the game open, because the lockdown stuff won't work agaisnt the Doggies. They're too quick and slick and if we need to keep the forward line open if we have any chance of mounting a comeback.

pathetic quarter

Many errors again this time some who dont often do it. Kirk trying a little over the top, Ben M letting the ball go thru legs, I know Nick D doesnt seem as if he chases but there are a lot of others who should be dropped. What about kicking for goal they obviously dont do much practice the Bullies dont seem to miss, OKeefe McVeigh Moore. Goodes is not good when he gets a serious tagger, should put him in a set possie like CHF and kick it to him. I feel like turning off the TV " " me off really the way they played in that quarter.

I'm sorry for critisising the umpires!

And I'm sorry that half of you don't have pay TV.

Another big difference to past years is that this season the 'Dogs have really worked hard on improving their contested footy game.

Terrible qtr of football by the Swans - we looked slow, error ridden and maybe even disinterested.

I dunno why Roos persists with Craig Bolton on Murphy - he is getting killed. It is OK to show faith in a player but you need to make a move to stop the bleeding eventually.

You would think Jolly and Everitt would be a formidable ruck tandem - we are getting killed in the ruck. The only bloke getting the ball away from stoppages is Goodes.

I don't think I've seen our backmen play such a bad qtr. Wish we could kick straight and take advantage of our opportunites like the Dogs did.

It's just the frustration of that 2nd quarter folks. Remember our team does'nt start playing until we are in a seriously disadvantaged position. Nothing like a relaxing game of footy

[TheGrimReaper]

Monty has a shot on goal.

[satchmopugdog]

and nails it. Well done chaps

[TheGrimReaper]

Awful kick, but it was straight, 14 points the margin.

[TheGrimReaper]

Minson scores a goal, and the Bulldogs accuracy continues.

[TheGrimReaper]

Brian Lake has a groin injury but is still playing.
