I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

 

Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl

The young kids look like....um young kids. Not everyone is Clayton Oliver in their first 10 games. 

[Damo 3,334]

Unless I read it wrong, Kozzie played this morning in the middle mainly, and didnt get much of a touch.

But looked promising, dangerous,  threatening etc etc. Same old

Has made a few blues, but he is yet to debut at AFL level and he is improving as the game goes on.

He is also up against arguably the best midfield in the AFL.

Simpleton comment.  

He looks no where near it

Tmac, 3 disposals, 1 of those a turn over resulting in a goal (and a 2nd almost the same).  Bloke is still cooked.

Needs to be one out at Full Forward

Kid just lost his Mum, has come back from interstate and playing his first bit of footy for the year.

Shut up.

Leading possessions for us at half time 

Never would have guessed, he hasn’t been anywhere near influencing the game.

Major differences in the way way we are playing the game compared to how we played against Doggies last year.   We are being bold from the Kick ins, often going long to around middle of the ground.  We are not getting sucked into contests like bees to a honey pot, we are holding our space and not giving them easy options. ANd we are without quite a few of our best players.  We are going to tear them apart this half with a fitter and disciplined young Melbourne team. Go Demons 100+points for the game!!

It’s had to know what to make of this game. We lack our trademark intensity at the coalface, which is rectified by adding Viney and Oliver, and are lacking some class ball use and control - Salem. Im

I am disappointed about the lack of forwards available. It’s been a glaring problem for 2 years and it’s the thing we need this time of year to work on the most.

[Damo 3,334]

He was carried all last year. As was T MacDonald.

How is that a free kick for English but not for May? ?

[Clintosaurus 7,808]

More [censored] umpiring.

[Alex Flood 245]

The umpiring has been pathetic this quarter

[chook fowler 19,430]

Umpires incompetent and biased as per usual 

[Demonland 71,121]

You get a free kick and you get a free kick. All the Bulldogs get a free kick. Unbelievable. 

[In Harmes Way 7,730]

Umpiring very ordinary.

You know the answer.

[Demonland 71,121]

Bulldogs extracting the ball way too easily from stoppages. 

[Demonland 71,121]

Bont is a freak. 

[Satan 2,870]

Bont always 

[Demonstone 22,194]

Well, some things never change.  The Gameday thread is still a whingefest.

[Demonland 71,121]

Nobody anywhere near Bont at stoppages. 

[Brownie 5,967]

Goal to Bontempelli.

Someone will need to pick him up next quarter 

[chook fowler 19,430]

Tomlinson has been poor 

[demon3165 2,665]

Who's the midfield coach hopless is there time to get a new one?
