And consequently that GC lost - if the Dees can beat them, maybe we can next week?

Surely not at Metricon.
Given the way GAJ played, we're a chance. He almost looked worried to go in hard for the ball in case he got tackled today.And consequently that GC lost - if the Dees can beat them, maybe we can next week?
Every chance we get next week, we should have a player bumping & niggling him

That kick from Sidebottom...on the left boot....droooooooooool.
Far out look how good the dogs are playing.. In 2 years they picked up Crameri. Bonts and Boyd... But its not even that. This is what good coaching means to a club. They look like a completely different team to last year.
Its so important to have a good coach. Most important.

The Bulldogs have put up one hell of a fight so far, but their lack of experience is a joke, Bont getting the #1 tag could really impact his development (though he's been excellent so far). Really starting to appreciate us keeping Joey, Steven, Armo.

O'Meara out for the season.
Phwoaarrrr. I know we've had an unlucky injury front, but at least we haven't had many "out for the whole season" type injuries. Touch wood.

Geary should just run at him all day. Having Geary play on you is like being whipped with a bag of hammers.

Did you watch the game though? It was far from boring. Yeah, we didn't see a lot of goals, but that was because the pressure in the middle of the ground and from defence was immense, neither team could convert their good plays into 6 points. The ball was flying from one end to the other though, despite being low scoring.
It definitely wasn't a chip it around, maintain possession game that's typical of low scoring matches.
I don't get the whole assumption that because a match is low scoring, that it is necessarily boring. Some of the best finals and grand finals in particular have been lower scoring affairs. For mine low scoring matches often indicate a higher level of intensity. Maybe there aren't quite as many goals to see but there are still other things which make matches enjoyable such as crunching tackles, players putting their bodies on the line and the extra significance of every goal that is kicked.

Can anyone point out a better, more competitive round of AFL football in the last 5 years? Not to mention that we still have the best (or equal best, Swans and Eagles played some thrillers) rivalry of the modern era in Hawthorn vs Geelong still to come tomorrow.
F#$k me. Its just ridiculous how good the hawks are.

The Hawks are unbelievable. Absolutely ripping the Cats apart. This Hawks team are playing the best footy ever seen I reckon, it is just flawless.
They make so few mistakes. Its almost like the players are are all line coaches themselves.. You see Clarkson in the box, he doesnt even have to coach he just watches it all unfold. Its crazy.
