Post-Game Discussion Manly v Bulldogs [Round 3, 2022]

[Ryan]

I think because brookie wasn’t ready?

Aaah, fair enough then. I do hope we get make-up games though, and play a bunch at home from then.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I thought Marty went well. Keppie played well after his brain snap in the first set. Foran played really well and DCE had a poor game overall. Jake and Big O had big games. I’m starting to agree with some posters on her calling for DCE to dummy half and Foran and Schuster the halves. At the moment we are one dimensional and clunky. A win is a win.

That was absolute dog ****, disgusting at your home ground opening a new stand as well.

nothing but errors and slop all game, just lucky the dogs are ****, I would have rather a loss than this pathetic fake win

we are ** so ** and will battle for the spoon unless changes are made!

Harper - see ya
Schuster - when back needs to play 5/8
Tom - Needs to play in the centres in attack
Marty - ship him off now, error machine who looks like he don’t give a toss

All right, I’ll be the one who calls you out. Doubt you have ever touched a football, maybe be a bit of giggle touch rubbish. Although the balls are better now, I played in the pigskin leather days. Like catching a bar of soap and as heavy as a medicine ball. Although the balls are much lighter and dimpled, still not easy in atrocious conditions. You sound like the kid that needed a participation award.

Yes at times but I hate seeing him walking back with hands on hips after both wingers and a centre have done the first 3 hit ups

i thought Marty was very poor. No impact and looked tired and ineffective .

Paeska I thought bent the line back well. And as others have suggested, Walker was our other most dominant middle forward

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Walker had a huge game.

 

[JBW]

Mate fair call like the rest of us. We try to make players play where they want or where the team want's them to play. Somewhere that becomes a problem and I guess to a degree that is Walker's issue. He thought he was a 5/8 but we all knew he was a centre. It's similar to my wife and myself, I see myself as a stud, and my wife says I'm a lemon.... one of us is right?

The wife's always right mate.

Shoe should be back in a couple of weeks, another playmaker to add to the mix. I can see it now, if Daly keeps overplaying his hand the call will be out move Shoe to 6 and Foz to 7.

If you thought Marty went well can you send me the replays because he was Sh&te

 

[Simonmyers11]

happy to get the win, even though very hard to watch.

thought foran was best on field. walker, paeska and crocker also good. The rest need to lift big time. DCE, Marty, keppie, Harper, saab had a night to forget

 

[Simonmyers11]

He was pretty poor. I agree. Looked gassed after 2 hit ups then just did nothing.

On your basis should I send Shoe to visit my wife?

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Haven’t read a single comment here and don’t need to - we are absolutely cooked this season. Won’t make the 8. Night all!

 

[Class of 96]

Just the usual, a few mid strengths with Shiraz chasers. What medication were you on to see it differently?

I've been having a nice mix of Bacardi & coke with the follow up of the mandatory Shiraz. about to have another, do you want one?

Oh yes indeed. One must not be discourteous when offered a Shiraz.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

A bit of Dejavu seeing the scoreline on this and watching the highlights (from my new home in Singapore....)

So last year we got a win 13-12 against the warriors and that started our season. Hopefully the same after this win!

Looked like horrid conditions, those games are always tough. Hope we got out of it injury free!

Will read some more comments before asking questions like 'Where has our attack gone?' and 'Who is on fire and cold as a spud?' etc.

Think Bulldogs aren't the walkover they once were juding on their results this season.

 

[Simonmyers11]

I was happy with crocker tonight. Did a mountain of defence and his pass selection was a lot better and ran at the right times. Hopefully he can build on that

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Honestly think the number one issue (besides making fundamental errors) is our inability to consistently get fast play the balls. If we get a quick play the ball and the defence is back-pedalling, everything changes. Even tonight, you could see the difference it makes. Work on that, Des, and I guarantee the game will get a whole lot easier.

Exactly what should happen. DCE has no idea on how to steer a team around... Foran does. DCE thrives on the back of a rampaging forward pack... we dont have that at the moment. Also just wondering why these forwards dont get back off the long run.... Marty does but he just isnt breaking the line, Keppie, Paseka and the Big O pretty much wait to get the ball then try and make yards.... just why aren't they hitting the ball at pace??? Driving me crazy. Simple fundamentals of footy if you want to make yards and bend the line consistently.

wrong as usual champ

i played for many years from a kid up till my 30s in grade

i’ve also been a ref at grade level also

but cool
story bro

 

[eagleron]

Judging from the comments, kinda glad I couldn’t watch. Very very glad for the win though. Give the boys some confidence.

Same mate, I picked a bad day to do a days work, probably glad I missed it anyway after reading some of the posts on here, a win's a win regardless of how they got there though I suppose, go Manly

 

[lsz]

Horrible conditions

We defended well (one lucky try and another off a good kick) and with a bit of luck we could have gotten a couple more.

Is it premiership winning form? No. It is lucky that you do not win comps in round 3
