Matthew Lloyd’s blunt assessment of the Western Bulldogs after their dominant 60-point victory over St Kilda at Marvel Stadium leaves no room for excuses. With the Bulldogs displaying such commanding form, Lloyd believes it’s time for them to step up and deliver consistently. Jimmy Bartel’s probing question about the key areas of the Bulldogs’ playing list and whether they’re “lacking or missing” in any aspect brings to light an intriguing perspective. Lloyd, known for his astute analysis, doesn’t hold back, pinpointing a specific area that raises concerns.
Drawing comparisons with other AFL clubs, he suggests there’s a glaring question mark hovering over the Bulldogs in terms of their midfield depth and versatility. In a competition where midfield prowess often dictates success, Lloyd’s observation underscores a critical aspect that the Bulldogs need to address.
While they may have displayed brilliance against St Kilda, the true test lies in their ability to consistently match up against top-tier midfield units. Lloyd’s commentary serves as a reminder that in the unforgiving landscape of AFL, there’s little room for complacency, especially for a team with aspirations of championship contention.
