POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs

[Jaded No More 68,915]

If we kicked straight in the first or the end of the third quarter, this game would have been a demolition. Ben Brown and Fritta missed two gimmes in the third they would both usually kick. Sparrow sprayed one too on the run. 
And let’s not talk about the umpiring. Absolutely putrid one sided rubbish. So many “in the backs” for minimal contact to the Dogs. Gawn has his head taken in every marking contest, play on.

As well as Nibbler's effort in the 4th when he was stuffed from the run, as well as two posters from Trac and BBB (or was it three??).

Jackson with a poster too to start the last quarter.

There were also three missed getable goals either side of three quarter time. 

Say we get two of those and add the insanely corrupt free kick goal to Weightman at the end of the first.  We should have been up about 40 points a few minutes into the final quarter.  The scoreline flattered the Dogs.

It was like the GF. We jumped them early, then waster some chances while they spent all their petrol tickets on a run of goals. Then we put on the afterburners. Only this time we had mercy on their souls.

So I’m finally watching a bit of the replay on my lunch break (thank you Covid for this WFH win!). 
And one thing I really love is how well we play as a team. I watched a few teams on the weekend yelling and abusing teammates for bad kicks which I thought was so poor. 
In contrast we support one another, we group together and chat and make decisions on the field. We don’t attack, we don’t point fingers and we don’t let anything phase us. I think that is a sign of a really good team that trusts the process and trusts one another. 
For example third quarter, we just took the lead back. ANB gets BB and Fritta together for a chat to point our positioning. This is a guy who last year was on the trash pile and he’s now setting up forward structures. Just wonderful to watch. 

Watched the replay on my lunch break… don’t ever doubt Jaded as a Dees tragic/lunatic.

 

One thing I did notice on the night I forgot about was BBB doing the snap around the corner, unless he was right at the point post he rarely ever went for an around the corner shot at goal.

Also when Kossi tried the massive hanger did Brayshaw call “Jamarra”?!

Haha I thought I imagined that!

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

When asked about possible complacency from the Dees, Garry Lyon ‘On The Couch’ highlighted Hunt’s effort late in the game when the match was just about done and dusted. Repeat sprints to eventually lay that crunching tackle on Daniel which almost got us a goal from Nibbler.
It was evident last year and good to see the good habits of playing until the final siren has continued. 

[Cards13 9,117]

Joel Smith first qrt was really good and that free against him at the end was not a free, old mate on social media with the  “was the umpire wrong” account was wrong sadly for him.

I was at the game and just watching the replay for the first time… that’s not great from Uncle Brayshaw.

[Cards13 9,117]

13.25 to go in the first half…. In the first half… Dogs were 8.3 - 51. End of the game 11.5 - 71.

Incredible how we slowed and turned the game.

[godees 863]

I’ve lost it now but someone on Twitter today posted the expected scores (from Champion data) for the round and we were “expected” to have won by almost 50 points.

Well we had 27 scoring shots to 16 so it makes sense. 
Inaccurate goal kicking kept them in touch at quarter time after we had 9 scoring shots to 4.

He certainly did. Watching the replay and that just happened. BBB handball to Lingers leading up to Viney's goal was magnificent. 

Flag unfurling never gets old. Could watch every day.

How could he get it so wrong?! A) wasn't playing the game and B) different teams... what could it be...

Weightman would have to be one of my most hated players. He got one goal, from a free kick, and I watched their finals game against Essendon recently and he kicked 4 goals all from free kicks, one of which the commentators couldn't work out what the free kick was even for, it was a bit like the one against us.

I can't stand that little mouth breather and was shocked when one of the commentators said he's everyones favourite and everyone likes to watch him play. I'm so glad we didn't pick him.

He rivals Rhys Mathieson.

Just watched the flag raising bit on tv. Hadn't watched it yet. It looked great on tv & it just makes you emotional every time. I loved the loud noise for each flag person introduced but loved how Jones & RDB got the loudest

To see Alves, Hassa, Wells, Barassi et al - altogether legendary.

Really just a largely ineffective small forward.

When the chips are down we can always rely on nibbler pickett or spargo to wrave magic. Be it a goal or assist or tackle.

Weightman isn't in that class and is a proven non contributor when the heat is on.

Not one of the frees against Ess were from Weightman diving or milking a free, the ump got the one clearly wrong, I have no idea how anyone could dislike Weightman for something not of his doing. Bizarre.
