they are just so blatant

My distaste for the dogs is up there with * to be honest

‘but can flop. Must he hard keeping all that bulk on balance

Some absolutely beautiful throws from the dogs

Commentators say the Dogs move the ball on quickly any way they can they force the tackler to tackle them properly

yeah
They throw it

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

As well as port has been this year, have they played at anywhere other than Qld ang Adel
Dream fixturing for them
obviously the three biggest winners from COVID this season are Brisbane Port and WC

 

[Crankyhawk]

Shes a chance for the "10 most influential AFL figures" list i'd say take Sam Newmans spot.

They really missed out on doing a media 'special' on the WAGS hub . make the 50k back 50 times over

Do it like real housewives

That was one of the worst displays of ruckwork I have ever seen. Neither rucks have any idea how to ruck.

English rucks in reaction to the opponent. Problen is Ladhams has no sight of the ball. He looks at the ball, then his opponent, then moves to where he thinks the ball will be and then misjudges it completly.

English is like a poor man's McEvoy. Tries to nullify his opponent to give his midd a go, but he was nullifying a crab and ended up trying to rove himself, but was poor at that too.

 

[gianytee]

Despite how poor our key forwards have been this year I tell myself at least we do not have Josh Bruce around the club.

Amazing how saints got rid of there leading goal kicker and somehow became a much better FWD line.
Good thing the dogs have Ugle Hagen - bad news it may take him awhile to develop which could be at the end of the Bont, McRae, Libba era.

To me the dogs get far too much media praise when quite frankly they may have the worst FWD line bar Crows. Only Mitch Wallis is good although Weightnsn will become a good player in time.

 

[savagelunchbox]

Dogs spent the game bombing it into the forward line. Plenty of times they could have had leading forwards, but they all hung back waiting. Relied on pressure goals, ala Hawthorn, but they couldn't out pressure Port in the D50.

They have some pressure forwards, and hard running mids, but they doesn't work without a dominant aerial target. Naughton coming back will help, but they need a more direct method.

Bruce is a bonefide scrub when his role is to bring the ball to ground for his opponents. Doesn't get a dominant enough touch on the ball to direct it. Makes it hard for the smalls to read. He's also rubbish in the one-on-one wrestle.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Dogs turned AFL into rugby.
Stop throwing the bloody ball.

Yep was very hard to watch.

 

[Yardie]

yeah
They throw it

No the term used by the commentary is that they "like to flick it around" oh the irony!

Teddy loves that term.

 

[Hawkboy62]

Jeez I put an absolute mozz on anyone I bring into my AFL fantasy team.

My list of casualties are Rowell, Henry, Dunkley, Cunnington, Howe, Sidebottom, Pendlebury, Z. Williams and Greene. Who should I put the mozz on next? I’m thinking T. Kelly and Gaff

Gawn or Neale! Ideally both.

 

[savagelunchbox]

If anyone is going to complain about commentary or media this week, can you please read up on the Mitch Cleary story first. Then you'll have an answer to your complaint.

Stop throwing the bloody ball.

Some needs to do a montage of all there throws from one a couple of there games this year. It will probably go for 2-3 hours so it if your lucky it might fit on one DVD

 

[Bugs1977]

So with the Tasmanian Government keep its boarders closed for all of August now I'd really like to think that we could play the majority of our games this month at Optus. Its clearly the closest thing we could hope for as a home ground advantage and I know the AFL won't cater for individual clubs let alone us but fingers crossed. The below article Kennett still holds out hope of us playing games in September down in Tassy but goes on further to say that who knows if there will even be AFL come September with how bad things are getting. What's everyones preference on where we should, could and be able to play our next lot of games after Freo and West Coast?

Hawthorn hopeful of playing “three or four” games in Tasmania this year

They spent a bit of time showing Breusts flick pass from few angles but dont seem to dedicate the same amount of attention to the Throwdogs,or Treloar or lots of other grand masters of the art.

I could show video of Patrick Cripps bringing the ballin his left hand to his right hand and ‘hand balling’ in one motion (a throw) but the reality is A lot of players throw it. Virtually all inside mids including ours. It is now a feature of the sport sadly. They need to do a lot of umpiring work to stamp it out.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Dwayne Russell on SEN brought up the ridiculous amount of throws nowadays

Many people sent in SMS complaining

Finally someone has brought it u, let’s see if anything happens

Obviously stay in Perth

We play well at Optus Stadium

We have a large fanbase in WA, so it would be great if we can reward these fans by them being able to go to say 6 or more games to watch the Hawks live
