Official Round 20 - Bulldogs vs Panthers Discussion Thread

[Untamed]

For a team that lacks class, the win today was all heart. Hope to see more of it.
Well done boys.

Needs better teachers!

He hasnt even played 20 first grade games... And half of them hes 2nd fiddle to Foran

Nobody is gonna go from 0 to hero that quick

There is no two way about it, the Bulldogs have to be the gutsiest and most courageous team in the league bar none and this will bode well for the future!
If we can cut out the silly penalties and unforced errors and sharpen the attack we would be top 4 contenders.
Who knows what 2020 will bring.

Game management
Skill development
Talent infusion. ...all needed desperately.

This year is all about spoon avoidance.

Gutsy win from the boys obviously put in for Tolman milestone match

Let’s win again next week and week after

Consistently

 

[H-dog]

DWZ needs to be captain!
The way he speaks organising the defence and the way he brings the ball back sets a fucking great example

DEAN PAY IN!

All those throwing insults to Pay take note. Let's get behind Pay, let him help rebuild and at the very least see out his contract.

Criticising Pay is fine but the name calling and disrespecting a Bulldog legend is not positive.

Seriously, one win and and your jumping over the moon proclaiming pay's greatness.

We defended well and actually showed a bit of flair in patches, and got the win which is great.

Doesn't gloss over the previous rable of performances though

Did we use a different defence system tonight? Wingers were staying on there man & not rushing in & getting caught out wide

Yeah it was the Montoya and Okunbor not playing Defense

After the game on fox they had DWZ and he was saying how proud he was off the boys listening to his direction when setting the defensive line - so communication could have been a key part

As a half, you’ve got a job.
Control the tempo and field position being fundamentals.
Agree this can be improved, but he’s gone backwards this year.

 

[chemdog]

if foran is fit next week do we drop any of the 2 halves or just keep the same team?

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

DWZ has been great think we've won 3 from 5 since he joined

We turned up for each other and I’m not taking anything away from the effort but the Panthers are one of the easier teams to defend against. We still had to make our tackles and defend set after set so it was a great to see.

Same team. Fuck Foran get him ready for 2021

yeah i agree he showed more potential last year, but its such a small sample size. hes obviously not the best half in the world, really is about how quick he can learn/if he can learn
