Looking at this game about a month ago and when North were flying and the Dogs were win less it looked like a forfeit would have been a better result, and then with the Dogs getting their first win last week against the Eagles, it's like they got their win and they'll drop back to normality for this last game.
In the end the Dogs had a crack but just haven't had their cattle available in 2023, playing 2 - 3 train on players for a good portion of the year and and 4 scoring shots from just 22 inside 50's is the tale of their season really but with the blooding on plenty of youngsters this season and all of the returning players from injury + top end draft picks in 2024, could see a pretty quick turnaround for the Dogs in the next couple of seasons.
So we have 4 clips today looking at:
The Dogs finding a mark, getting control but then not exploring enough of the ground to find their 100% option, kicking to a 1v2 with their 1 being all of 158cms!
Next we see Gabby Newton who's been thrown back in the last part of the season with their injuries, more than likely seeing the space where her opposition forward wanted the ball to be kicked to but still not reading it quick enough to switch sides and seal that space off.
With Newton being thrown back they've now got a shortage up forward with Rocky Cranston being their main target at 171cms but not a key position payer by any stretch, and its like all the Bulldogs forwards are waiting for someone to present either up at the ball carrier, or down the line, but no one does and they end up having to kick to a a 1v4 on the edge of their forward 50 and losing possession off the back of it.
Lastly we look at probably the best transition of the season with North Melbourne perfectly using lane running from defensive 50 to forward 50, clearly showing how once you get 1 more lane then the opposition, then you can pretty much move the ball any way you want as you have the outnumber for as long as you keep running.
