We brought Cerra and Cottrell back too soon.

They're well below their best and maybe they should have come back through the VFL...but they probably just need game time and the more they play now, the better.

A mate messaged me today with what might be a pointed and possibly insightful observation,

"The Bulldogs have just learned a lesson about the true cost of playing Liam Jones!"
"Extremists on either side will always meet in the Middle!"

Disappointing result but, if Charlie kicked 7.3 instead of 3.7, we win comfortably.

Don't know why we were favourites for this game, the kind we always lose to a hungrier side.

Pathetic effort for a club icon's milestone game, very disappointing.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Sorry about the repeats.
The stupid phone just kept sending me a message saying I was moving the topic rather than posting the post. ::)

Anyone else pick up on Vossy's dig at umpires re Weiters copping knocks to the back without acknowledgement? (This was in response to a question from a journo re why Weiters was doubled up at one stage?)

Sure did. Not sure if he was referring to this and last week or just this week, but made it clear it was happening. I wonder if he gets a please explain from the AFL.

Contrary to many other comments, I thought Marchbank did reasonably well, against the frequent overload of attacks from the dogs, and looked more self-assured than Kemp.

Having said that, I wouldn't retain Marchy ahead of Kemp but wouldn't be surprised if the MC thought otherwise - as they have done before.

Bulldogs' tackling of an opponent who hasn't had prior opportunity (i.e. taking one arm out of the equation and swinging the player off balance) was first class and indicative of some excellent coaching to take full advantage of the changed rule interpretation.

the rule interpretation however leaves a lot to be desired.

I noticed that. To Vossy's credit he was completely transparent and accountable.

Why would the AFL be interested?
They've just accepted Dimma's blasphemous comments on his players. C Scott's comments on umpiring inconsistencies, with an assurance that he'll continue to call it.
As for Clarkson. He's a perpetual offender against players and officials alike. No case to answer accordingt to the AFL.

What if dogs kicked 7 straight instead of 7 points to start the game?

Yes, and bad kicking is bad footy!

We were ahead in virtually every facet of the game including 15 marks inside 50 to 9.  We threw that game away by not making the most of our opportunities.
