Lol and you think Collingwood are the only ones getting the rough end?

 

[Adz]

Bulldogs played best half in 12 months and still behind.

Pretty much, don't really see how Dawes ended that half with 0 free kicks to his name.

 

[eddiesmith]

Its not a game style you can play easily, the Dogs are already starting to tire and fall apart, took the top clubs years of conditioning to be able to attack in numbers

Plus also helps the umpires realised there were 2 teams out there that qtr...

You wont find a single Dogs supporter unhappy about that effort. Even if we go on to lose, there have been more positives in that half than the rest of this year. Against a very good Collingwood team especially.

Considering Cloke and Dawes are getting molested and the Bulldogs have twice the frees we do, yeah probably.

 

[everhot]

Buckley is getting completely outcoached again. Thank god the Bulldogs have no key forward or we'd be five goals down. Umps have been fine we've been very sloppy. Dawes has to go!!!

 

[ManOfClay]

Where does it say the free count has to be even? first to the ball and you get rewarded sometimes.

Dawes got that free at the end for god knows what, then advantage was paid when everybody stopped.

^This. So far I am very very happy about this half of footy, regardless of the result. This year so far hasnt been that great, but this half against last years grand finalist(not the same team I know) but it proves that when we decide to turn up, we are still a very competitive team.

Nowhere. Luckily no-one said it has to. Most people with eyes can see the Dogs have been getting a lot of dubious 50-50 frees while Collingwood has not, hence the free kick disparity. Thats all.

No we just expect consistency

Everytime a Pies player pushed out a Dogs player, free kick

Everytime a Dogs player pushed out a pies player, whacked them in the head, play on

Dogs player dives headfirst into a stationary pies player- Free kick

Pendlebury gets whacked in the head 3-4 times- Nothing

Not to mention Lake getting away with rape

Good first half.

Hope the next two terms have as much to offer.


That has to be deflating for the dogs though. Losing a 17 point lead in just a few minutes.

I hope to God Collingwood win, otherwise we'll have to endure a week of Eddie sooking about free kicks.....

Lol fair point. But win or not Collingwood will always complain. At least week it'll be a bit legitimate





Oh great '10 fast forward clips in 6 seconds' Definitely my favourite of Channel7's contribution to sports broadcasting

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I think the frees are only 11-6 anyway.

Hilarious. Time for mummy to put the dummy back in. First time in a dog/pies game I can remember where we've got the (very slight) rub of the green.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Roughead has been good for the Dogs, liked his game. Collingwood look to have found their feet in the last 5 minutes of the term, hopefully the dogs can regroup and keep themselves in the game.

 

[ManOfClay]

Going as expected now.

 

[Simple Jack]

That should be just about all she wrote tbh.

I'd be pretty surprised if the doggies could win from here.

 

[ManOfClay]

Easton Wood is playing very very good.

 

[Doggette]

C'mon Dogs.

 

[Barnzy]

Harry O is a liablity. Worst AA of all time.

 

[Selective Retention]

Harry O worst one on one defender in the afl.

Did that hit the post??
