R7: 405pm EELS v Bulldogs GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium 16/4/23

Id like one more try before HT

 

[Avenger]

Hopgood is just an inferior version of Matterson at 13. There is no chance I’d be doing this again. Matterson back to 13.

 

[Chipmunk]

The Dogs came out far more physical and up for the contest than us, but absolutely nothing has gone their way and we just outgunned them after their players starting dropping. They don't even have 13 fit players out there.

We're not really up for this physically, but realistically this shouldn't even be a close contest at this stage. The Dogs shouldn't really have the troops to worry us the way the game is going, even if we're just running through the motions.

We seriously deserve a blast at half time for our attitude though.

If we're fair dinkum we put 50 on them.

 

[DaveMc]

Hands has been miles better than Mahoney, simply by not being actively detrimental (though he’s genuinely been good).

 

[hineyrulz]

Solid first half against a decimated Dogs, have we got the killer instinct to out them to see the sword??? After that last try I doubt it.

Rheedy just trying far too hard, EAD you cauliflower eared midget.

 

[Bandwagon]

But on the other hand, Matto is awesome on the edge, defence and attack, so you gotta balance that into the equation

They’ve been courageous however like us a few years ago they have two players that are weak links. Perham and Flanagan wouldn’t be in first grade with any other team. They are just there because the Dogs don’t have alternatives.

Reed "The coach gave me more ball playing than at the Eels"

Forumers lose their mind.

Reed playing like shit over playing his role..

Have a chat to Reg and Jnr about not being up for this Physically....

Disagree, we're where we are because for all but about 1 or 2 sets we've won the middle.

Everyone is up physically in attack.

 

[Eelogical]

I've got to Hands it to the Eels. We're looking OK going into the oranges break. I hope BA talks to them before the second half.

The Dogs fell apart quickly, they're going down injured all over the place. We've also had every 50/50 call so far.

They have zero points mate?

Reed is being ambushed by Moses in the bull rushes.

Let's see if that turns around in the second half.

 

[Bandwagon]

They've had to work hard, all we need to do is control possession, make our meters, get to our kick, and they'll have f**k all left in the tank come the last 20.

 

[Chipmunk]

As I'd expect with how many opportunities they've had.

We're clearly far superior to the team they've put on the paddock today, and resulting injuries.

 

[Chipmunk]

It shouldn't, that team the Dogs has on the field is sub standard with injuries.

Sounds easy on paper.
