Dogs v Roos - etihad - Rd 20, 2016

[reincarnated]

What I don't understand is that the Bulldogs play with terrific speed all game and always keeps moving forward.

Game finishes they are on 9 goals and 7 behinds. Their forward line is not finals standard.

North love slowing the game down. They tried to be all physical and take on the bont. Who was the bog at the end of the day? Bont

 

[Gavin Excell]

Pretty average effort tonight north v a hampered opponent

 

[Gavin Excell]

Where was the fight the last 2 weeks?
And when they lost their only final at home to a team below them?

Doesn't suit your agenda.

North weak

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Still reckon we'll belt them next time we play them.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

You must be fun at parties.

Actually yes. You must have no friends to go to their parties.

You're really scrapping the barrell now.

Why ?

 

[Engimal v2]

Why ?

I'd assume it's because he believes us to be the better team.

 

[Mattdougie]

2017 will be the date.

Your done

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Why ?

Worst i've seen us play for 25 years and we lost by 2 goal, think we'll win next week.

No its not.

Would be close to the worst efficiency in the league for goals for inside 50's. There isn't a skide that works as hard to kick a goal.

Its been like that all season. That makes it a coaching problem-the delivery is poor, the forwards do not present, and everyone's worked it out-sit back, they'll bomb to a contest, mop the loose ball and hit them on the fast break.

Me too.

But belt us really, .

North are cooked just face it.

Right

 

[Engimal v2]

I've been told by BigFooty that North were cooked prior to the last two finals series, and we ended up playing in prelims in both of them.

 

[Draft Pick]

Seriously you can't tell me that will happen this year.

 

[Engimal v2]

Another 20 possessions for Boomer along with a sausage roll in game 428.

 

[Engimal v2]

Seriously you can't tell me that will happen this year.

You should quote someone when you reply to them, so they know who you're talking to (and so they get a notification).
But no, I don't unfortunately. Tonight's game has shown me that neither side will be contending for flags for at least 5 years.

However if we get a few players back from injury then I'll be more hopeful that we'll have a good finals series. Just not sure that we'll get them fit enough after not playing for months.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Pretty sad that North supporters whine about injuries all the time yet their team can't beat one with an even bigger injury list than theirs, who also lost a player in the first quarter.

Swallow is surely in the top 3 worst captains in the league?

 

[Engimal v2]

We could literally have over half of our best 22 out next week following Brown and Thompson's injuries. What did we do to the footy Gods?

I came to see the melts... I was a little disappointed

Just got home from the game, and I reckon it was probably a more entertaining game to watch from the crowd than it would've been on tv. There was a shitload of niggle off the ball most of the night tonight that I doubt was caught on tv. I really thought the half time "coming together" (it didn't even constitute a melee) would be a lot more severe than it was, cos you could see it coming a mile off.

It reminded me a lot of the Friday night North vs Hawthorn match a few months ago - North have too many players who don't understand what being physically tough and imposing is. They will do all the cheap, faux tough guy bullshit off the ball, but when it comes to putting their head over the ball and winning the hard ball they're nowhere. They're soft as butter - the s**t that guys like Firrito and Ziebell carry on with isn't tough.

Name the others:

I'll give you Watson for a start.

 

[Freomaniac]

I never get this reference. Help me?

Tony abbott is australias toughest bad ass pm we ever had.

Mr Abbott threatened to shirt front putin. Putin did give a s**t then backed down like a gutless flog.

North act tough and then backed down. Basically North are pretenders.

 

[Moti]

You forgot McLean and Stevens both best 22 when right

Stevens was dropped?
