Looks like I'll be at a family function and we're not on TV again. Such is life.
Anyway, the thread is ready. Enjoy!
This is the game thread.
We'll lock the Pre game up shortly.
Good start.
But what was with Ed thumping the ball int he fwd 50 instead of talking the intercept mark???
Nice one Levi, will do wonders for his confidence
If Levis big goal is a sign... strap in baggers
Needed Kruze to hold those, quick turn around and they goal.
Paddy Dow keeps going at half rat power, driving me nuts, & he turns it over with telegraphed kicks too often
Dogs seem quicker in general play, we need to go with our strength, marking, we have the height even with out charlie. Hope we can kick straight as well
Dow right place right time, Goal
& then he jags one, I'm back on Paddy ;D
Dow. Composure, and skill.
Onya Paddy
Murphy dances and goals....
Go Blues
Nice one Murph, experience , great goal
Harry makes them pay end of a great qtr
Best qtr by SPS I have seen, seems to want it , maybe maturing

X2
Go Blues , keep the pressure on
So far our goals are on the back of a Crippa-Samo fest inside.
H taken strong marks and kicked 2, Levi, Samo, and Murph. Well done to Dow staying composed at an important moment to slot it through.
LOB looks lost. Gibbons getting his hands on it. He'll get his first soon.
Marchy building nicely and Weiters continues his excellent work. SOJ looking strong, should have got a holding free..
The connection blockage we saw last week. It's gone. Don't care why or how, but it's working right now.
Noticed Gov swung back late. Maybe we have got some plan.
Go Blues
Gibbons looks so much a better player in the midfield. amazing what happens when you play in your right position.
2 direct kicks from Marchbank finding opponents, let himself down there , could have been so much more
Murphy to H bags another
Really looking for each other today, great presence
For all the play we have , need to capitalise on the scoreboard. Need another 3 this qtr
Libba sucked umpires in, free and goal to Dogs
Goal Gibbo , finally
Finally Gibbons goal. Welcome son. Keep up the pressure
Some Silvagni magic.
40m dribble kick for goal
That would have been goal of the year contender by H
That would have been goal of the year contender by H
That was nearly massive. Story of our season though.
That would have been goal of the year contender by H
By the time he got there he was too f'ed to kick it
Ok stat gurus, when was the last time we had 2 players that have had 25 touches each in the first half?
That would have been goal of the year contender by H
Big H kicks the point of the year.
Got to love that run.
Big H kicks the point of the year.
Got to love that run.
Only just got it in too. Nearly hit the point post.
Know he must have been tired, but 30 metres out no pressure - should have had it.
The team celebration would have been huge.
Much much better, never would have picked it. 2 qtrs, 2 more to got just like that. As Newmy said whilst being interviewed by Mooney, scoreboad is irrelevant, need to start again in the 3rd and do the same as the first to qtrs. What a difference the big Tractor makes.
Samo has played to Captain Crippa's strengths to perfection. Allowing him to really flaunt his sublime skills.
Well done to Samo. Looks like he has arrived...
Go Blues
Could we both win and clear the 100 point barrier this week?
A win today is so important in terms of reward for effort for SPS and Harry. They’ve had a massive crack. Kruezer makes a real different and Cripps is Cripps, say no more.

Yep.
Plenty of us CSC "experts" been saying that for a while.
Bring it in the 2nd half and we might just get over the line????????????
I expect SpecialK to run out of legs, but lets see what happens.
The Dogs have to start respecting McKay, they need to change tactics in the second half.
I'm just liking them look like us and us looking like the other team for a change...lol.
Does that make sense? Lol!
Best qtr by SPS I have seen, seems to want it , maybe maturing
just got to sustain that for 4 quarters, even 3.5!
Just so amazing how good a forward line can look when the ball is moved quickly and efficiently into the F50.
Keep the focus boys, don't let the easy ones through
Letting these p....s back into it now >:(
And quartus horribilus has arrived.
Goal SPS to steady things a little, need another quickly
And quartus horribilus has arrived.
We got the goal back.
Durwayne Russell doing some mighty Bulldogs barracking on Fox Footy....what a complete knob he is
I'm just liking them look like us and us looking like the other team for a change...lol.
Does that make sense? Lol!
Yep
Samo dragging us over the line on his own here.
What a game he's playing. Just got to keep it up for 1 more quarter.
Dogs selection - no tall backman looking like madness. Trengove running around in the 2s I think.
Great goal line pressure to spoil after the siren.
THAT is what wins games when you hold the lead.
Bring that 1st half game boys.
Go Blues
Well this will really see how much of the first 3 qtrs are real. Need to absorb a little and keep in control
We led at 3qtr time by 3 goals last week.
4 goals this week.
Playing much better this week though.
Samo dragging us over the line on his own here.

On his own? Bit harsh on Cripps who has 33 disposals
Murphy fisher both had 20+ each.
SPS might be playing out of his skin, but there is a more solid contribution across the board today.
Think we got 'em
Yep.

Just saying, the knock of Phillips and Lobbe has been their opponents have been BOG for the opposition.
Looking at the current fantasy points, English (92) (bulldogs ruck) is leading currently with Kreuzer (60) putting it a similar performances to our previous 2 rucks.
Sure, stats are not everything, but sometimes people see what they want to see. ;)
Nice from Levi from the boundary , first goal for the qtr
Harry, what a cracker
OMG Levi again
H again.
Keep pressuring
Harry, what a cracker
How did he nail that but miss his goal of the year before?
free kick count halfway through the last...
Dogs - 18
Blues - 8
How did he nail that but miss his goal of the year before?
He was f'ed after running so far.
I'm greedy. Want 100!
I'm greedy. Want 100!
6 minutes to get 2 more goals.

94 now. 4 minutes to go.
Dow kicks our 100! 95th point. :-[
On the siren, there's our 100.
100!
WoooooooooHooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
