Review Dogs 96 def Power 77 - Rd 9, 2021

[Mutt]

Liberatore's inside game tonight was a masterclass in contested inside work. After the 10th occasion I burst out laughing, when players from both teams constantly fumbled and tumbled getting nowhere and in would come liberatore like a bandit and cut open tackles and packs like hot knife in butter, dishing out balls to astonished team mates on their own. He ruled the inside and repeatedly gave us first use from some ridiculous situations.

I don't know how you rate that - dream team points for liber were at 69 - Liber had over 20 CP - nearest was Bont on 11. Bont and Caleb were great but first ball use to advantage was all Liber - MVP. More power to him

Best inside player I've ever seen. Second best is his father.

Please indulge me here. I took a 14 leg same game multi with the TAB in our game on the result, disposals and goal kickers.

I had one with Port to win and it gave me odds of $201

I had the same bet with the Dogs to win and it gave me odds of $101, but as I was about to submit my bet the odds changed to $81. How could the odds for the two results be so dramatically different ?

Now I did win, after some nervous moments needing Dixon to kick 2 late goals and Hannan one, but how the hell could it offer such differing odds.

$201 vs $81 reflects a ratio of roughly 2.5:1. If I understand it right, the betting agency would only need to be viewing the Dogs as around 70-30 favourites to get a difference like that, with all the other variables held equal. (On the other hand, the odds of the other components of your bet might have been considered greater conditioned on us winning than Port winning; but not knowing what they are, that's just speculation.)

 

[Dogs 13]

Depends on what legs you have, but arguments sake something like bulldogs to win but Dixon, Gray & Georgiades any time goal scorers will give higher odds. If you had more bulldogs players and bulldogs to win, it would be lower

True, my bets were Dog heavy.

 

[Leon]

Best win for the year.

On the road, good opponent, injuries.

We are a bloody good side and it is great.

 

[nadsee]

That's a pretty underwhelming contribution sport. Want to have another crack at it?

Not really. Paying a compliment, thought you played as a team. Not as individuals. Not sure what more you want??
I can do a power point presentation??

Ah, so if my bets weighted heavily to the Dogs are successful the more likely a Dogs win.

What sums up Libba’s game was in the last few minutes, the ball is bobbling around and he attacks it hard, slides in with the collect & dish off whilst the players around the contest are still trying to get their feet unstuck from the ground to do something

There are 10 players closer to the ball before this happens

 

[dergert]

Sweet was huge. We've found one there.

McNeil was flashy, I really want to see him around the ground.

Bruce just plays his part. Not a superstar but integral to our forward line.

Duryea is having a great year.

Keath has to be in the AA squad.

Our whole midfield stood up really well. I miss Dunkley so much.

 

[bobs head soup]

Cody was a way off it last year. His performance tonight is a credit to him foremost but also to our development systems. There must have been pressure to give him a crack earlier, but the timing was right. Well done all.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I admit I was one. Port have lost 1 8n the past 11 home games and the wind was with them final quarter but did die down. The crowd, umpires and kicking constantly to Allia2 and the ability for Port to kick goals quickly had all of us at the game concerned. The two goals in the second quarter proved pivotal. We are a very happy bunch in the city of churches

i have to say quedos to the doggies that were there tonight, we heard you and we saw you well done.

[HELMET!]

I loved seeing Caleb get crunched backing into their key forwards, then get up and impact the next throw in. He's a tough bugger!

 

[CarnTheScray]

One good thing about winning is that it shuts the oppo fans of the teams we play the f**k up.

You can add Port fans and their jumper changing after games onto that list now.

Come on, Mutt, cut the guy some slack! He's clearly steaming up about his team NOT playing like a team. We've all been there. He's not having a go at the Dogs.

And he's right, the Dogs did play well for each other tonight. Lots of blocking and tap-ons etc.

I'd love to know if Libba's tapouts from the bottom of packs count for anything. Cause he does a LOT of them. At least 10 per game. They don't always come off, but they often lead to clean take-aways from another Dogs player.

Agree. Poor by you Mutt. Very classy albeit brief summation.

 

[adogsfan5]

Does Libba have the best hands and vision in the league?

 

[Dogs 13]

Agree. Poor by you Mutt. Very classy albeit brief summation.

Yeah, nah. Might as well have given us golf claps. Why bother coming to our board for that underwhelming summation.

 

[bullish23]

Interstate win against a top 4 side playing a solo ruck in his 3rd game. Enormous win.

Libba no words. Opened a Barolo in your honour.

 

[BEaston]

Hands up if you gave us no chance in the changes thread. I'll never understand that viewpoint.

 

[SayerTheCreator]

Does Libba have the best hands and vision in the league?

He is - without doubt- the best inside mid/extractor in the game.

He doesn’t want the accolades (I don’t think) so let’s just all quietly marvel over this anomaly

 

[Igloo]

An opposition supporter coming onto our board to say anything congratulatory is fine by me.

Weird to have any issue with what that poster said. It was purely complimentary. There shouldn't be any expectation on how much or little anyone should say in congratulations.

 

[Mutt]

Not really. Paying a compliment, thought you played as a team. Not as individuals. Not sure what more you want??

OK. I'd like a PowerPoint on our win.

Thanks for being a good sport. I'm just a bit touchy as we've had some absolute tools from other clubs on our autopsy threads of late.

Play on...and welcome. Please accept my apologies for being rude.

 

[adogsfan5]

Bont a cheat according to one poster on the port board?.. lol

 

[zucvv]

Look at Smith's interactions with Wood, MaCrae and Treloar post game, definitely a tick of approval, a happy boy couldn't hide his excitement back playing in the gut tonight. Our midfield finally found the right mix without Dunkley and got the mojo back tonight. Look out!
