Western Bulldogs - Demons in disguise ?

Featured Replies

After watching numerous turnovers last night, by the Bulldogs against Adelaide, by doing too many handballs, I came to the realisation that I may be watching Melbourne in disguise. Although, to be fair, the Dogs were going in the right direction when turning it over, rather than in ever decreasing circles like the demons last week.

The overuse of handballs was immediately done over, when Adelaide continually kicked it to free players in space after the Dogs players had streamed downfield.

'Carry and Run' or kick long ? I know which game we're better at, and which game I'd rather watch, especially after last weeks effort.

As i keep saying we are very hard to beat at the G with our origional game plan O(kick from defence to a leading player - from a pack, hold it, kick to someone in the centre area so switch, run from there and kick it long). Thats what upset me about round 1, the fact that we change a game plan when we have a good record there and that theres no need to do so. At AAMI and Subi, we have a choice, run and carry or direct long footy. We play long there we will lose so we may as well run and carry there and have a chance at winning. Thats my opinion anyway.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
