Not sure your club agrees
I don't like bottoming out to win one.
However recent young additions, haven't really met the standards.

But questions now have to come for Chris Scott, the game plan fails in finals. He may have be a premiership coach, but that team was still playing as it had done the previous 12yrs

Strange he didn't try to exploit May's dodgey string by having Dangerfield as the deepest forward and make May accountable.
But I guess you have to get it deep in attack to make that work and Melbourne's pressure up the ground didn't allow it.
Could be a very long couple of years rebuilding for the cats.

We just look like Collingwood 10yrs ago crabbing around the boundary line

Exactly. Push them two up the ground and leave the 50 open for Dangerfield and May.
10 years ago we were making grand finals, winning one and should've been two.

I have no issues losing by 100points is you try and attack the game.
I think 3 times we tried to attack the game.
We were unsuccessful, mainly because the skill level was horrid.
But Melbourne's pressure was unrelentless. They were ******* superb.

Most likely. Have the best home ground advantage in the comp so should win enough to stay around the mark

Cats should employ Dan Andrews as coach, He knows how to shut down Melbourne

interesting that although being and coming from WA that the Bulldogs not allowed to have a training run in Adelaide

seems a tad strange, Beveridge very diplomatic about it saying it is what it is :roll:

They were allowed to train today weren’t they?
Thought the issue was that they had to return a negative test before being allowed to train and they got in too late yesterday to get tests back in time

Yes, not great signs for Port :shock:

You have to hand it to Bulldogs coach, he is never predictable and always has a plan against any opposition. His tactics on Alir Alir so far a classic example.
