Boys have been up against with the injuries, but game was lost before then.

This will make end of year discussions alot easier, brutal decisions need to be made and followed through with.

Seriously? Poor last year. Up until a few weeks ago could of easily been All Australian. Had a very good year. Maybe he's frustrated?

They're too one dimensional.

Our game plan is one dimensional.
We simply don't know how to defend the corridor against running half backs who link up. Our guys are zoning the flanks.
We just get opened up too early and too often.

On top of it all, too many players are being played out of position or in purely negative roles.

Walker played a sensational season as a third forward and has played defence ever since.
Gibbs says he plays his best in the midfield but is happy to play wherever MM wants. Guess what?
Plus we have about three taggers.

This is our worst performance for the year. Bullied by a young side.
Absolutely humiliating!!!

Murph had his face caved in.. When you return from a similar injury you can judge him.

He shouldn't be playing if his head's not right he is a shell of former self..
Reality is the Bulldogs are playing well they took it to the swans as well difference is with the swans you cant name many players at the swans who don't put their head over it where with us you'll be lucky to name a few that do.

I blame Mick for probably saying something mean to the players before the game.

I know that was supposed to be funny but perhaps the fact that 25% of the players on the ground don't know if they'll be there next season isn't helping their approach.
You're right. Being under the microscope and having your future worth questioned is the perfect excuse to lay down and in no way try to prove yourself.

Walker's howler to old Scooter in the 3rd was soooo predictable. Remember when Walker was a rampaging 60 goal kicking mark-of -the year player ?? And remember when Yarran used to kick goal of the year, and Murphy was moving into the top bracket of midfielders ?? Ah the memories.............

He's quick to bite at others but FMD does he make so some blunders himself. Soft attack near the goal square cost us & a shithouse kick out. Seems to have dropped his bundle.

Same memories bring up a loss to the gold coast and a team that finished in the same position that they will this year...

Murph was crap before that injury. has been worse since. and he's not a captain's bootlace
But don't worry, we'll get 'em next time, eh Murph?

oh yes, forgot that one. That was disgraceful. SOFT and very "Gibbs-like" of a few years ago.

One dimensional because because we have a shocking midfield.
Second worst midfield in the competition going forward.

Good job
