Dogs were overawed, says Eade

September 5th 2008 22:24
WESTERN BULLDOGS coach Rodney Eade says his side was overawed by the occasion in Friday night's second qualifying final against Hawthorn at the MCG.

Eade said his side made several uncharacteristic errors in the 51-point loss to the Hawks.

"It looks like we got overawed by the whole occasion which is certainly disappointing," he said.

"I think their pressure was very good, but I think there was a lot of inferred pressure where we made mistakes that we shouldn't have made and it was very disappointing."

"From the club's point of view and the supporters' point of view it was a very poor performance and we need to bounce back next week."


Eade challenged his players to lift for next weekend's semi-final against the winner of Saturday night's clash at ANZ Stadium between Sydney and North Melbourne.

"There's got to be some accountability - our supporters will want that," he said.

"It's not what we stand for and it's not what we're about as a footy club."
"The players have to stand up and be counted."

Meanwhile, Eade said Lindsay Gilbee (corked calf) and Robert Murphy (corked knee) should be right for next week.
