[Kahuna]

Game just got underway anyone else watching?

Hating the green the umpires have on makes me want to vomit.

[Jarka]

Anyone know if it's on the radio?

[Kildonan]

AFL live update is now working - so give it a go

[Kildonan]

The game seems rather dull, or is that just me?

The Brisbane match seems more exciting - maybe its the crowd noise, maybe because its closer...

[davey_magik]

Does anyone have a link for radio coverage?

[davey_magik]

If we win I'll be stoked because the Dogs are playing a full strength side and we're resting quite a few players. Also if we win that means we play the winner of Brisbane and Essendon at the Dome next Friday night.

[davey_magik]

Could anyone watching this game please tell me how it is going i.e flow, whose playing well, injuries?

[Johnson#26]

Score, anyone? My live scorecard just isn't working.

[davey_magik]

Demons 0.5.9.39
Dogs 1.3.3.30

Robert Murphy has one supergoal and two normal goals.

[eddiesmith]

Is this being played for the overrated cup? Neither side deserves to make the 8

[Kildonan]

Davey playing brilliant in patches. Couple of poor decisions by him, but he is just too quick for WB.

[Kildonan]

Travis Johnstone should have got the ball away quickly to a teammate for a probable goal. Instead walked back to take the kick then proceeded to kick into the man on the mark. Just not into the swing of it yet.

[Lynch drops a mark]

how is the quality of the game ?


flooding ?

[Kapow!!!]

Right, flicking between this and the force.

Flooding is moderate as in there is a distinct flood but not quite what you'd call big. Melbourne had a shot on goal reversed into a ball up. Wierd. Dogs clear to midfield but it's straight back down Dees end.

Boundary Throw in, T.V side on 50. Dogs with kicking in danger free should clear the zone and I'm flicking to watch the Force....

[Kildonan]

Sorry my family are flicking between channels.

The game is boring so they keep putting it back to the Brisbane / Essendon match.

Not full on flooding but not pretty

[Kapow!!!]

Johnson lining up for goal to bring it back to 11 points (force out on full, not doing well)

Sprays it. 16 points

Dogs 32
Dees 48

[Johnson#26]

Hope the Doggies can get up and win - if not, that'll be two incorrect tips thus far!

[Kapow!!!]

A quick cameo inside Dees fifty cleared to the wing, out of play.

Flooding still moderate, Dogs free in the back but cough it up, shot on goal for the Dees knocked over the line close to goal. Scrimmage in front of goal Dogs will clear with a free.

Made a meal of it for a while before finding players in space on the wing, pump it deep inside attacking fifty and again a free Grant takes someone over head. Dees player kicks backwards to man on goal line, play on, tackled over 3 points for the Dogs.

Dogs 35
Dees 48

[Kapow!!!]

Hahn pumps Dogs back inside fifty, spoiled, cleared away for throw in T.V side of 50.

Dogs win scrimmage but Dees work it well out of defence through Yze down the wing but turned over goes back and Giansircusa marks 45 out 60-75 degree angle. Tough kick. He...misses near side 1 behind

Dogs 36
Dees 48

2 goals, Dogs have had all scoring so far third quarter.

[Kapow!!!]

Miller has it on Dees half forward. Forward 50 entry no mark free kick for push out and 50 ends up center of the ground. Finds Murphy easily 35 out in front and slots it and it's back to a goal the difference

Dogs 42
Dees 48

[Deestroy]

Good stuff Kapow, much appreciated.

[Kapow!!!]

Motlops clears center to Davey half forward, dangerous kick to lead very well spolied to outer side to a kennel of Dogs and after a while they clear, I look away, it goes back inside Dogs 50, Johson shot on goal misses but shepparding free to the Dogs. Put on the tight angle and easy snap shot scores level

Dogs 48
Dees 48

[Kapow!!!]

Good stuff Kapow, much appreciated.

Well the Force are down 9-21 so...:o

[eddiesmith]

Suprised this game hasnt put you to sleep yet Kapow :D

Then again, you are used to watching Freo ;) :)

[Kapow!!!]

Make that 9-26 :mad:

Dogs enter 50, Minson no mark, spills to goal square. Robbins skies it, Dees clear but yet another soft Delibrate Johnson has free on 50. Simple chest mark spilt by 11 for Dogs.

Play now on wing McMahon goes for a jog, pumps inside 50, Giansiracusa crumbs snaps goals, Dogs in front for the first time tonight

Dogs 54
Dees 48

[SBI]

Gian goals.

[Kahuna]

Bulldogs just hit the lead with a nice snap shot from Giansiorororsooroscusia.

WB 54
MD 48

Suprised this game hasnt put you to sleep yet Kapow :D

Then again, you are used to watching Freo ;) :)

The least enthusiatic commentary I've heard in ages. That's true but I've watched Sydney play Collingwood too so I know my slow matches ;)

[Kapow!!!]

Dees inside 50, Pickett goes with, Green centers, no mark, Dogs somehow clear and Gilbee is away, kicks inside 50 but comes out but goes back in again, Yo-Yo footy happening here. It's out again Dees have it on T.V side wing and just puts it out for a throw in about 10 around from Dees 50

Throw-in Dogs make a meal of it, Dees Red head (sorry about names) Flies for a 9 pointer no avail, soccer off the ground GOAL...no touched by his team mate.

Dogs 54
Dees 49

[Kahuna]

The least enthusiatic commentary I've heard in ages. true

Well if you saw what Clinton and crew were wearing you would understand why they are rather dull.

3/4 time Bulldogs lead by 5 points.

[Kapow!!!]

And that's 3/4 time Dogs lead by 5 after being down by 17 at half time. Dominated that quarter but didn't really put the Dees away. Dees had a late flourish but really amounted to 3 inside 50 attempts, two spilt marks around 20 metres from goal and a near soccer goal that came off the outstretched arms of a teammate for a point.

[eddiesmith]

They are calling a boring game in the worst city in the Country, so who could blame them for being dull? :p

[Kapow!!!]

To their credit it does look like it's about 35 degrees at night time so I'm suprised they're not down to a whisper yet :p

The Storms are coming! The storms are coming! :p

Be just like watching a QLD cricket game, get to an exciting finish and flash, bang, boom, wonder if the lightning rule will be invoked?

[Kapow!!!]

Ball is bounced ball dribbles out, free kick Green has it half forward, Jamar spoiled rebound, Boyd goes deep finds Johson on his own 30 out runs in and slams an early goal

Dogs 60
Dees 49

[Kapow!!!]

44 Melbourne sends them inside 50, Davey works hard amongst 3 dogs, Motlop now in space but ends up grubbering it to the boundary but straight from the throw in gets a free from the same spot, about 35 out, relatively difficult angle. And he dobs it for Melbourne's first since the second quarter

Dogs 60
Dees 55

[BATTERY]

Dogs 60
Dees 55

[Kapow!!!]

Hard worked inside 50 from Dees, along the boundary line, Robertson...ROBertSoN???!!! :confused:

On the line tackled but it's a goal Dees back in front 2 in a minute

Dogs 60
Dees 61

[SBI]

Dees hit the front.

[Kapow!!!]

Again Robertson but drops the chest mark. Going too quick for me. Dogs clear 50 and it starts raining. Power to Murphy through midfield Robbins crumbs shoots from 50 and....hits the post and it's all square

Dogs 61
Dees 61

[NW2]

Guys,

thanks for updates -it's all I've got here in London - keep em coming.

GO DOGS!

[Kapow!!!]

Ball-up 10 out from Dogs 50 Dees clear down the wing, fisted over for throw in center wing. Batted along well by Johnson but ends up in Nathan Jones hands pumps inside 50, scrimmage, more scrimmage out of 50 Dogs clear Smith runs along the wing. Murphy held without it 30-35 out tight angle to put the Dogs back in front.

Across the face but the Dogs are back in front

Dogs 62
Dees 61

[Kapow!!!]

Throw-in center wing T.V side. Johnstone finds space borks, schimmies and dummies, 45 out shoots and drifts away it's level again

Dogs 62
Dees 62

[Rory]

Clinton Grybras just had a premeture ejaculation when Rohan Smith tried a Supergoal

[Kapow!!!]

Faulkner crumbs and sends it inside 50. Minson on the boundary but the big fella can't do anything throw-in about 25 out. Wrestling Free kick in the ruck free to...Minson. Shot on goal abo....hands off to Smith outside 50 for supergoaaaal drops short, Melbourne earn a Free and it's cleared.

Pickett clears finds Rivers who finds a man on the wing who sends it inside 50 nobody home though and Dogs switch and clear down the guts but straight to Yze

Yze Finds Jamar on wing, C.Johnson pumps inside 50 Robertson can't do anything though and it's cleared.

I blinked at Robbins has it 60 out on the boundary, Minson couldn't beat two opponents and it is cleared.

[Kapow!!!]

Minson flies can't bring it down and Melbourne Free. Pickett has it and 50 for a down field infringement to Green in the center. He kickly fires it inside 50 but Gilbee intercepts

Dogs clear Mcguinnes thumps to Dogs fifty but to two Dees who send it over for a throw in center wing

West earns a free at the bottom of the pack Hahn gets away close to the boundary on the flank but sends it over the fence just around from the point post and Dees switch.

[Kapow!!!]

6:19 left in the match. Dees have it in the center fires it into space and Ferguson gets a shove. He finds Robbo on the chest. He's in the sticks, 50 out on the fence...Jeez he came bloody close and maybe even nicked the post. Dees in front

Dogs 62
Dees 63

[Kapow!!!]

HFF for the Dogs throw in. Taken out of the ruck and thumps inside 50 and Brad Johnson at the back of the pack easy chest mark, easy shot on goal and MISSES A SIDDER!!!!!

Dogs 63
Dees 63

[Kapow!!!]

T.V side HFF for Dogs as the rain starts coming down a lot heavier. Dogs work it well around the boundary and back around but Dees work it well and Pickett on the charge fires inside 50. Sylvia high and ROBBO marks in space great kick. In he comes, the man who nailed 73 last season and SLOTS IT

Dogs 63
Dees 69

Less than 3 minutes left

[NW2]

HFF for the Dogs throw in. Taken out of the ruck and thumps inside 50 and Brad Johnson at the back of the pack easy chest mark, easy shot on goal and MISSES A SIDDER!!!!!

[Super Demon]

Go Dee's

[ICanDressMyself]

2 tight matches tonight. What a start to the season.

Go Dogs just quietly.

[SBI]

Good win Melbourne.

[Kapow!!!]

Johnstone clears but MchMahon finds Cross on Flank who in turn thumps inside 50 snap Rivers pack mark in pouring rain. Thumps outside 50. Birrs to 1st game Higgins kicks to top of square Grant high ball but Yze mark 90 second lefts. Rivers along boundary out of play!!!

[Limbach_19]

how was Sylvia?

[Kapow!!!]

Dees clear but Dogs back in Miller clears Motlop away down the wing boundary throw in 50 out from Dees goal T.V Side. Dogs need a clearance.

They get it but not for long, B.Johnson can't do anything with it and Dees taken high and hits the boundary line. Scrimmage and SIREN. Dees win

Final Score

Dogs 63
Dees 69

[Kapow!!!]

how was Sylvia?

Handy to say the least. Not spectacular but handy

[Kapow!!!]

Methinks Johnson will be rueing that missed sidder. About 15 out, minimal angle (basically running to the point of the square) but rushed it, hit it with the outside of the boot and it sailed through for a point. Costly miss

[NW2]

Bugger.

Thanks for all the updates Kapow!!!

[Kildonan]

Melbourne by a goal

Congrats Melbourne

[Kapow!!!]

Bugger.

Thanks for all the updates Kapow!!!

[Johnson#26]

Thanks, Kapow!!! :)

Melbourne vs Brisbane - should be a big one.
