Chapter 1: What are the highlights from the Bulldogs vs. Hawthorne match?

6.038 - 41.654 Gerard Whateley

the award-winning crunch time so the bot can screw it around on the left boot and put the dogs in front He does. He lets Newcombe know all about it. The spike continues. Kicks towards goal. Rory Lott, good effort to the tip of the goal square. Sicily's down. Oh, Morton! Morton's taken a mark. He's done nothing all night. Point blank range. He's got it.

0

41.674 - 46.78 Unknown

You can land at the tip of the goal square. Wallace. No mark.

Chapter 2: How did the Bulldogs manage to come from behind in the game?

46.8 - 48.743 Unknown

Oh, you're kidding. That was a mark. No mark.

0

48.763 - 49.323 Gerard Whateley

Play on. Play on.

0

49.403 - 52.587 Unknown

It's through for a must. Oh, it's close. It's in borderline.

0

52.707 - 59.416 Adam Simpson

Skinovan will turn him around. They need a mark. Brilliant stuff, dogs. Nick Coffield.

0

59.796 - 61.919 Gerard Whateley

In a set. Pumps it inside. 4 and 50.

Chapter 3: What were the key player performances in the match?

61.939 - 68.007 Gerard Whateley

Riley West just needs to bounce. He's going to get it. There it is. Has he kicked the goal?

0

68.027 - 68.327

Doesn't matter.

0

68.307 - 76.477 Gerard Whateley

Dogs have come from nowhere and that is one of the finest wins among many under Luke Beveridge's tenure.

0

76.497 - 84.548 Unknown

Some of our best footy of the year was played tonight and some of our worst so they really took their chances and we weren't able to take ours so disappointing.

0

84.568 - 98.145 Gerard Whateley

Yeah it's pretty admirable Shane. The players were pretty flat and disappointed with themselves at half time so for them to pick themselves up and everyone just up the ante and it's a great reward for the whole group.

99.104 - 122.761 Unknown

The Bulldogs rise up to overwhelm Hawthorne on a night full of angst and antics. Luke Beveridge's team forces its way back into contention while Sam Mitchell has a bit to lament during the bye. Taylor Walker makes his approach, thumping kick, curling, curling! He's still the baddest man in the whole damn town!

122.921 - 131.855 Unknown

Holmes knocked off his kick, landed with Atkins, gives it to Bowes, who takes the shot and kicks the goal! Scores a level!

Chapter 4: How does coaching strategy influence game outcomes?

131.875 - 140.147 Tom Morris

No bigger moment than this for Darcy, gets close to the man on the mark, swings it towards goal, it floats, it floats and there!

0

141.022 - 168.43 Unknown

Two umpires in the middle, which implies that there's a review going on here as to whether that's hit the post. Oh, it has hit the post. Bailey Smith takes off. Sets the catch to half forward. Big back, Neil, off-hands. Stewart's gone forward. Kept it out in front of himself. Siren sounds. Adelaide with a throw-up. They break the Geelong stranglehold.

0

169.642 - 178.055 Unknown

Adelaide make a stand down in Geelong in a Thursday night beauty as Jordan Dawson furthers his claims as the captain's captain.

0

179.677 - 187.329 Adam Simpson

It just got bigger and bigger and bigger all week to the point that on the weekend it felt like it was all-consuming for the football world and that certainly wasn't my intention.

0

187.369 - 195.481 Kane Cornes

Where you find yourself is because of your own poor handling of your football club. I'm not for clubs getting assistance under this guise.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of player injuries for team performance?

195.521 - 196.122 Kane Cornes

No, I'm not.

0

196.152 - 210.109 Unknown

Stay here, Jed. And people can sit there and they can talk about Bailey Humphrey and Joel Jeffrey and all these players. They're contracted to us for the next two years. You can talk to them as much as you want, but they're contracted. They're not going anywhere as long as I'm coach at this football club.

0

210.23 - 238.14 Unknown

I would love to see the MCG just turn absolutely blue and be able to look around and do Dad proud. And I mean, that's what the community has done for 12 years. And the countdown to an especially poignant big freeze. Neil Danaher in everyone's hearts in anticipation of a huge crowd on Monday at the G. This is the Round 13 edition of Crunch Time.

0

243.655 - 263.145 Unknown

I think the best theme so far have been tension and hostility as we gather for crunch time for the all-new Ford Ranger Wolf Track V6 and Azito brushless power tools built to work. Azito, do you. Gerard Waitley with you, Adam Simpson. Simmo, a couple of weeks ago, you called for this. Come on, bring the hatred back to footy.

0

Chapter 6: How does the trade period affect team dynamics?

263.205 - 284.728 Unknown

How good is it? Yeah, and I'm sure Cain can mention this as well. It's like when you have genuine... Feeling, and we'll call it hatred. It's a strong word. In a sporting sense. In a sporting sense, where I just think the games of late, and there were two crackers in the last two days, and the Thursday-Friday games have improved this year. But it's more than just a game.

0

285.088 - 306.124 Unknown

The feel at the moment, if you're a supporter and you're watching, you're going, yeah, how good is that? And there's the tagging, and then there's really in-your-face type of tagging, which I'm really happy to see. Let's start a fight. That type of... in a game. Like, how do you get that out of your players? Because it has changed a little bit since the 90s for good reason.

0

Chapter 7: What role does mental toughness play in sports?

306.164 - 320.141 Unknown

And the 2000s were sort of the transition to now. It's like everyone knows everyone. Everyone's connected. So, you know, it's time to hunt, Gerard. And then when you see... Even the whiz at halftime, you know, declaring, well, you know, don't poke the bear.

0

320.221 - 342.594 Unknown

If you want to talk the talk sort of stuff, that was interesting as well, just to see how that was backed up because it wasn't, but that's okay. So it was just so good to see some aggression, some physicality, the line in the sand sort of type of game. So the stats and the numbers and the players, that's all great. But this is why you watch the game. Kane Corns is the early throws of winter.

0

342.614 - 349.668 Unknown

It's not so matey anymore. I loved every bit of it. Everything Simmo has just said. Take something away from the opposition.

0

Chapter 8: What are the upcoming challenges for the Bulldogs and their rivals?

349.808 - 359.927 Unknown

So play Geelong. Take away. Try and take away Stewart. Try and take away Smith. Take one of Holmes away. I just think for too long we accept that Geelong's best players are going to play well. Same last night.

0

360.413 - 373.633 Unknown

You know, Cicely still played pretty well and I thought handled it certainly in the first half well, but he was rattled and he was distracted and that was reflective of the rest of his teammates. Watson was, I don't know if he was rattled, but he was certainly distracted.

0

373.653 - 384.914 Unknown

He should have given away a free kick off the ball in the middle of the ground right in front of the umpire's face that wasn't paid. That would have been a big moment in the early stages of the game. Wanted to wrestle. I don't know how much physically that took out of him.

0

384.954 - 401.734 Unknown

How much physically, he's a little guy, did all the wrestles that he was in at quarter time and the like lead to him not touching the ball in the last quarter? That's an unanswerable question, but it's worth it. And great mental toughness from Selwood to hang in there on what would have been the loneliest place any footballer could find themselves.

0

402.035 - 416.935 Unknown

One out against the wizard inside 450 when he's on. But he hung in there as did the rest of the Western Bulldogs group. These are the types of wins that you remember as a player. Adelaide will definitely remember that under adversity on Thursday night and the Western Bulldogs won't be forgetting that one in a hurry either.

417.596 - 437.411 Unknown

Can I ask you a little question around... I mean, it's not the most exciting subject, but the tagging's back, isn't it? And the accountability piece to take away the best players. And there's now two to three playing in each game, Cain. So when you did it... So I was... You know, let's go back a little bit. The run with role versus no, no, you're in his face. And I was the, put him to sleep.

437.451 - 453.249 Unknown

Just, they don't even know I'm there. And then halfway through the second quarter, they haven't got much of the ball and they don't really know why. Whereas you're, you know, telling them how many stats you've had and telling them, you know, what's what you're right in the grill. You're, you're looking for a free kick. You're, you're trying to get into their minds.

453.389 - 468.493 Unknown

And I feel like there's a few more mind games happening, whether they're The guys are going after it, don't have that maturity just to get on with it. Like Bond and Pelley, you can't get into that brain. He'll just do his thing. But I felt in particular last night, I got inside their heads and that's another skill, isn't it?

469.074 - 488.066 Unknown

Yeah, the best ones that I loved and the best teams that I was involved in, when it wasn't just you go and do your job, it's we're all going to go after them. So we know Kane's got his job. But if he runs past me, I'm just going to put an elbow into him or I'm going to... mentioned something to him, if I get the footy and they're going to be in his face, they're going to get under the skin.
